Legit or not, no one that sees that degree on a resume is going to do the level of research that you have done. All they are going to see is an African based, UN chartered, online degree, and blow it off as a scam degree mill And likely jump to the conclusion that whoever had such a degree from such a place is likely a scammer as well.

I entirely understand your reasoning...as I'd said, I think, I was equally dubious, and completely comprehend your line of thought...for a quite protracted period in looking at it, I did in fact share your view, and still have many, many doubts...under ordinary circumstances, I wouldn't give the matter a second thought, honest...however, I was finally able to chat usterdau with one of their very senior faculty, a noted cleric in the Eastern Orthodox Church in cpCalifornia, we spoke a good half an hour...I also very heavily researched several of their public health faculty, esp two in India, btyh physicians, both of whom are very extensively published in refereed journals...one of them is actually on facpty affiliated with a very major university public health program, the name of which you would, I promise, instantly recognize, not known for taking on affiliated faculty without very clear credentialing...I completely understand the reservations, and the very senior cleric faculty member did swu they've had a very hard time with several states, needingnabout a decade thus far to satisfy here states listing tjem as a fraud...I personally called those three states, at their involved government offices, and will look into it still further, however, I was told that the school is evidently making very serious efforts to comply, at least from what the cleric explained to me...about many things associated with the UN I would instantaneously agree with you, hjowever, please understand, I have been a very serious doctoral level allied hjealtyh clinician before my total perm disability, with a great deal of exposure to he admin aspects of higher ed and related academia, esp in a clinical setting, though as I've said many times on here we shut my doctoral allied health license sevl yrs ago due to my disability...I've met many, many academic frauds and bad pennies, many of whom scammed me, and also quite frequently wind up turning IP in my existence continually like NAD pennies, so please know, I am quite academically paranoid about thins that seem too good to be true, I've been burned by my enthusiasm getting the netter of me, and trusting in a misplaced way, more times than I can count, I assure you...all of my training was and is very real, I assure you, and I am virtually the past one to accept Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunny...I may doubt a good deal about the UN, as do many here, with often very real justification, qiie freiqinelt, in my view, quite frequently...however, about purely academic, scientific, clinical !matters of the type here, when I see clear evidence attesting that a program of the type here seems real...when I see faculty listed in multiple refereed journals and attached to at least one highly reputable major US university...and when I see that two of their faculty are in fact US vets themselves, one Army, in uniform in his faculty photo, and another in the USPHzs, then, st that point, I begin to at least start to question my own doubts as being needlessly harsh...I by no !means mean to suggest that I don't need to look fryer, I do, and I will, by all means...however, a program of that sort, done online, that cheaply, could serve quite clearly serve the greater public good, as well as academia...the cleric explicitly said they basically have given up on the US due to close mindedness, basically, in many instances, though they do and have been making serious efforts at inroads toward acceptamce...my sole point is, given all that preponderance of evidence. I think candidly that the scales, at least in my mind, are at least beginning to tip in the favor of the school...I'm not saying that about their other programs, about which I obviously know quite little...however, about that specific program, I've been able to discern diploma mills for a long time, and have very seriously researched distance learning, online, and external degrees for a good many years now, incl speaking with virtually countless people about that whole topic, respected academics, one of whom had appears before Congress some years ago as an expert on the topic, I've made a serious study of ephe !after, I assure you...where something is nonsense, I've learned in science to trust nothing, and nobody...I've exceed the word belief from my lexicon...I substitute the term convinced...and in this case, explicitly, I'm at least gradually reaching a consensus in my mind that I think, note, please, timk...that this one program at least basically see!s to be passing the "smell" test...now, a! I sure? Of course not...will I cvecl further? Obviously...however, I'll he the first doubt to doubt where doubt is due...at the same time, I've been around academia, science, and clinical subject !after to at least try to be sufficiently flexible in my outlook to at least try to !ale am effort to give credit where o is due...in the case of this one specific program, after !any months of very serious research and painstaking consideration, that is, in fact, the conclusion I'm gradually reaching...for tat reason, I'd obviously be most grateful if you could please assist me in my efforts, so far as possible, by looking at their faculty list, research repository, and accreditation pages, if you get some time, and giving !e your candid assessment, I'd be genuinely interested in your thoughts about the !after, honest...I appreciate your taking the time to answer, as well as your unwavering caution...in fact, I still share it...all I'm saying is, there "seems" to me t be something there, and, if so, I'd appreciate Amy possible help to try to separate wheat from chaff in this specific instance, much appreciated for your thoughts, certainly, in any event, of course, I'd be most grateful to hear more, of at all possible, whenever convenient, many thanks....

And I did also see you were listed as otolaryngology, which would !ake me obviously value your opinion all the more, of course...I trained st some 10 tracing hospitals in three different states, including seven years of approved residency, during which I treated some 10000 patients under my attending, and assisted with some 300 surgeries in multiple fields, as well as gojn through fupp clinical rotations under physicians, not just allied health...I assure you, my training was obviously quite real, of wanted to go into the USPHS !uself, however, I became ill in !y sevemtyh UAR of residence, though I finished the other six and was if not surgical board eligible, though I was close, very close, honest, I was at least primary care board eligible for my field, o did sit for the board exam in primary care, I !issued by a few questions, and had wanted to go back to get it done, however, I was never able, though, as I said, my license was in fact issued, though we shut it off, as I'd !mentioned, sevl yrs ago, as I'd explained, I just thought I should perhaps explain that as well...I'd wanted serious pure and/or applied clinical research, not day to day patiemt care, and did try to publish sevl years times, incl a 150 page manuscript I actually got very close to neon able to submit to a refereed journal, however, circumstances beyond my control prevented my doing so, to my very obvious regret, of course....

Regardless of the merits of this particular program, Public Health, esp in developing countries, is a fascinating area of study. I wish you well on whatever you decide.

I appreciate it, obviously...I don't entirely know whether I'd actually try to do it, honest...I'd need to look into it way, way more, and see if I even can, given my total perm disability constraints...honestly, I just found the program interesting, esp gvem its novel nature and organization...I was just curious, also...have you ever been able to publish at all? I had just wondered, in case you had any research interests, I'd honestly welcome such intellectual discussion, if you'd ever have an interest, and/or time, of course...and are you allopathic, or osteopathic? I was just curious about that also, if you might be able to go into that aspect at all, so far as possible, many thanks....

If you can, look the stuff for them over, esp their faculty page, just search for it, it's there, I'd really be most eager to know what you all timk of the program, as I'd said, I think there might be a good deal of credibility to it, I'm still looking it over, however, all the research I've done thus far is gradually convincing me that while I can't judge all of their programs, that one most definitely strikes me as the most scientifically and academically credible, certainly by contrast with various US programs in pubic health I've also looked at....
