## Blacklisting in the UK

Medical degrees obtained from Odesa International Medical University have recently been blacklisted by the British General Medical Council (GMC). Blacklisting is based on information that shows the qualification doesn't meet the GMC's criteria, such as questionable ethics, teaching and integrity of the medical programme, including examinations and medical rotations being inadequate or simply lied about.
The GMC said "We only place a medical school on this list once we have carried out a full investigation and concluded that it is the most appropriate course of action." It recommended that British students looking to return to their home country following graduation avoid this university at all costs.
