Dr. Sandeep expressed the process once a student has been admitted to their school, "Once the admission happens, they go into the classes. Completing the basic sciences, then passing the US MLE examination, then doing the clinical rotations, then they graduate and get into residency. I primarily deal with clinical students in their 3rd and 4th years. People who are in the transition phases between basic science and clinical. Since we have established MBME conference in basic science and examination, they have to get a certain percentage on that before we let them take step one on that exam. At that point in time, people run into issues of not being able to meet the requirement, so they need more time. During that time, we guide them what they need to do so they can meet the basic percentage of 65% before we even let them sign up for step 1 exam."

During the on-site interview, Dr. Qazi and Dr. Sandeep were asked to describe a situation where a student was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Dr. Qazi expressed that their most common express for concern arises when students are dealing with issues outside of their realm of control. This extends to personal reasons, financial reasons, a death in the family, or personal health. Dr. Qazi expressed that when situations like this arise they take the students requests into consideration, " a student, for example, is asking for more than 6 months to write the USMLE exam. This student would normally speak with Dr. Sandeep...they would email him and ask for a letter explaining why they need the extension. That letter would give the reason as to why they need the extension...If need be Dr. Sandeep can ask for further information, if the student says they are sick, we would ask for the Doctors Note. Therefore, instead of 6 months, we can give them 9 months."
When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Dr. Qazi and Dr. Sandeep address each comment stated that they believe them to be false.

WINDSOR UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE – STATEMENT FROM DR. GUPTA
" Our mission is to prepare highly dedicated, compassionate, and competent students to become effective, socially responsible, successful resident applicants in order to practice medicine in their country of origin.
Over the past years, our faculty has worked with various student committees to update and improve our instruction. A continuous focus on change can be linked to the trends in medicine such as new technology, new research and the changing health care needs of our society.
Students must be prepared to deal with all the competing forces of a rapidly changing health care system, and demonstrate the qualities of professionalism during medical school and throughout their careers. It must be clear that we are committed to the best outcome for the patient. Each student must be constantly on guard to protect, defend, and be an advocate for patients. To accomplish this you must be diligent in your studies to acquire and extend your medical knowledge.
Our best wishes, Dr. Brijinder K. Gupta

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, that I am safe in my residency and no longer in the Caribbean I want to discuss my short two year experience or nightmare that I had as a student at Windsor University School of Medicine. I have read the other reports here on the Rip Off Report, and nothing in them is beyond credibility, indeed those reports are similar to what I would now like to report according to my direct experiences at Windsor University School of Medicine. I would like to talk about 1) the safety of the school, 2) the faculty reputation, 3) the treatment of students, and 4) the ability to get into residency or go to another program from Windsor University School of Medicine. St. Kitts is consistently the murder capital of the world, rated second in armed robberies and third in rape.
This is not published by the country of St. Kitts nor Windsor University but, is well documented on multiple government and news websites. When I was at Windsor a student was raped on a monthly to bimonthly. This is not inclusive of the sex for grades that was common practice at the school. The faculty is made up of individuals from the third world whom do not have doctor degree’s in medicine but bachelors degree’s and mostly from third world schools of little repute. None of the faculty have passed the USMLE I, II or III nor completed residencies. Few speak English clearly and in general most of the faculty just read off the slides.
A student is likely to get yelled at if they actually ask a question. Students are treated like cattle, in most courses there is a 80-95% fail rate prior to the school giving what are called secondary exams which the school charges the student to take, up to 1000 dollars. I was never allowed to see my exam nor, allowed to challenge any questions on the exams. Students who insisted on seeing their exams were frequently kicked out of school on false pretenses.
One way to ensure passage of exams, was to either pay for the exam with money or sex. The pathology, microbiology, biochemistry and physiology exams were always for sale. The school claims they have a zero police sex with students, buying exams etc…not true, They only have a zero policy to reporting such things. As a student if you do you are kicked out of school or you will see that you fail every single exam. Trying to transfer out of the school is almost impossible as the school will not provide student transcripts to transfer. This perhaps doesn’t matter anyways as other school will NOT accept transfer credits from Windsor University School of Medicine. When I left the school , I had to start again as a first year at another medical school . Obtaining residency from Windsor University School of Medicine is almost an impossibility.
In the United States and Canada this school is well regarded as a SCAM school. The website of the University lists residency placements but, those when looked into are fake.. When I was at Windsor perhaps 2 or 3 people out of one hundred were able to get into a legitimate residency program. Windsor University School of Medicine is a well know scam school which is run by a family for profit. One would best avoid this school and save their money and time. Besides no school is worth risking their life.
