Dear rsameer
You have raised a very good point. It does appear that there is a lot of info on MCEM as opposed to others. It is most possibly because this is a forum which reflects purely on inputs and experiences from people like you and me. It also appears that people who have bothered to write or contribute are also those people who have possibly taken the MCEM exam or are vaguely related to such training programmes. I certainly do not think that there is a deliberate undermining of the credibility of other training programmes.

Having said this, you'd realise that most other training programmes at this point of time are put together locally and are affiliated to local universities (some to international organisations!) People who have trained in these probably could throw some light and share their experiences. However, there is a danger that this forum could be hijacked in inappropriate slander (or worse still) marketing of some institutes.

I feel that any newcomer making that crucial decision of which course to choose should be mature enough to make a well informed choice, and not just by a few opinions....

It is also important that people who have useful information about some of the courses should share them for the benefit of the budding EM docs.
