Dear A Santoori

Your information access request IR1-4186347676

Thank you for your email of 8 December asking for information regarding
the Commonwealth University of Medicine, St Lucia. I’ve considered your
request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

1. Has the GMC successfully accepted ANY graduate doctors at all from
Commonwealth University St Lucia as of yet?

No. You can use our data explorer tool to see how many doctors are
currently on the register and search by awarding body: [1]Register by
world map - GDE (gmc-uk.org)

2. Has the GMC conducted a formal review of the medical course offered by
Commonwealth University St Lucia?

    a. If yes, what was the outcome of this review? Did it involve the
GMC's "Medical School Qualification Review form" for assessing course
acceptability?

    b. If no, then how is it possible for me to be sure whether
Commonwealth University St Lucia's medicine course meets or doesn't meet
the GMC criteria?

There is no active review or investigation at present. We aren’t able to
proactively assess all awarding bodies that are not currently listed in
our systems so we only begin an assessment when either the awarding body
or a graduate of it contacts us to start the process.

I hope you find this information useful. If you have any queries about
this, or need anything further, please contact me on the details below.

Yours sincerely

Edd Mustill
