St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine (SCIMD-COM) is a medical college located in Luton, England (30 miles north of London). The college is a branch campus of the Universite El Hadj Ibrahima Niasse (UEIN) in Dakar, Senegal. Two medical colleges exist under the umbrella of parent university UEIN: Ecole de Médecine St Christopher Iba Mar Diop (EM-SCIMD) in Dakar and SCIMD-COM in Luton. SCIMD-COM offers two curricula: a four-year curriculum for students who have previously earned a baccalaureate degree and a six-year curriculum for other students. Instruction for both programs is conducted in English. The branch campus of SCIMD-COM was established in 2000 as St. Christopher's College of Medicine, but since 2006 degrees are awarded from the University. EM-SCIMD offers a five-year curriculum that is conducted in French. All programs award the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree through the authority of UEIN, allowing graduates to apply for licensure to practice medicine in Senegal, Canada, most states of the United States, as well as other countries. SCIMD currently has several fully licensed graduates and an increasing number of residents placed via the NRMP in many states throughout the US.
After completing five semesters of the Basic Medical Sciences (and all applicable premedical coursework) on campus in Luton, students enter the Clinical Sciences and complete a series of clinical clerkships in the USA, UK, or Senegal. The US/Canadian administrative offices are located in Hempstead, NY and the UK/European Union administrative offices are located in Luton, England.File:SCIMD Seal.pngSCIMD-COM is listed in the World Health Organization World Directory of Medical Schools as well as in the FAIMER/IMED database of medical schools. Graduates of SCIMD-COM are allowed by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) of the United States of America to register for and take the United States Medical Licensure Examination as well as receive certification that is the first step in becoming a licensed physician.
