I had been wondering how reputable those programs are. Like, can you sit for the appropriate licensure exams after going there? And even if you do get a license, is anyone going to be interested in hiring you/having you as a resident when they find out where you went to school?

Yes, you can go to med school in the Carribean and do a residency here. The AMA keeps a pretty strict cap on the number of seats in medical schools, to the point where some would argue there are not enough doctors being trained.

I have no idea why the ABA doesn't do the same.

Money.

--that and the fact that for-profits which aren't licensed by the ABA are popping up and some states are allowing their graduates to take the Bar. This could render the ABA impotent.
