St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine (SCIMD-COM) is a branch campus located in Luton, England. The parent medical college is Ecole de Médecine St Christopher Iba Mar Diop (EM-SCIMD) which is a college within the Universite El Hadji Ibrahima Niasse (UEIN) in Dakar, Senegal.

The college is listed in the World Health Organization updated 7th edition of the World Directory of Medical Schools. The college is also listed by the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER) in their International Medical Education Directory (IMED).

The college is an American Medical Student Association (AMSA) chartered international chapter (# 8024). "AMSA international chapters serve as unifying groups and resources for students interested in American medical education and practice, participation in the local community, and enhancement of their medical school experience."

SCIMD is listed in the UK Department for Innovation, Universities & Skills (DIUS) Register of Education and Training Providers. "The purpose of the existing Register for Education and Training Providers is to assist the immigration authorities to take decisions about applications for student visas." "The Home Office will only grant student visas to people intending to study at an institution on the Register." (Note: "Applying to a college on the Register does not automatically mean you will be granted a student visa. This is just one of the criteria the Home Office considers in assessing visa applications")

"At the present time, the GMC is not registering graduates who hold primary medical qualifications obtained from" SCIMD. In the United States, SCCM is listed among "Colleges of Medicine or Schools of Medicine" which are not approved in Alabama for applications for certificates of qualification, "Questionable Foreign Medical Schools" whose graduates will be considered for licensure on a "case by case" basis in Indiana, "Unaccredited Post-Secondary Educational Institutions" in Maine, "degree suppliers that do not meet the requirements of ORS 348.609(1)" in Oregon, and "Institutions Whose Degrees are Illegal to Use in Texas" as defined by Texas Code 61.302(11).
