Dear General Medical Council,

I hope you are well. 

I would like to request details under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Background; 

It is to my understanding that medical universities listed on the world directory of medical schools (https://www.wdoms.org/) are accredited by the GMC. Meaning students studying at these universities meet the registration requirements to register with GMC. 

New vision university in Georgia is on this world directory of medical schools, so one would assume that the medical course meets the requirements to register with gmc. However, this university is also on the 'May accept' list published by the gmc (https://www.gmc-uk.org/registration-and-...

Questions regarding new vision university; 
    1    Please can you clarify why this university is placed on both the world dictionary of medical schools and on the May accept list? 
    2    Please can you clarify if the medical course provided by this university is fully GMC accredited? 
    3    In regards to this university, can you please provide some statistics, separately for each year, from the last five years, as to how many candidates had applied for GMC registration, how many had been approved for GMC registration?, how many had been denied GMC registration? And how many of those denied were because of qualifications?. 
    4    If the GMC has had any direct concerns with this university either now or in the past? 
    5    How often this university has been reviewed by the GMC? 
I would like apologise ahead of time for the long email and many questions, however I think it's best to better understand the risks associated with studying at this university before deciding to apply.

May I take this time to thank you in anticipation of your assistance in this matter. 

Kind regards,
Shah Zaidi
