I hope the budding, online, free World University Medical School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - will articulate fulsomely with the U.S.'s rolling out of Universal Health Care by 2019, per these articles in the Harvard Crimson (by Dr. Judy Palfrey) and Wikipedia - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2010/11/aberglasney-orchid-to-world-univ-schs.html. Dr. Judy Palfrey is moving to Washington DC from the Boston area to help further Universal Health Care in the Obama administration, I think. World University and School is for everyone, medically, too! (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2011/09/darien-panama-world-universitys-budding.html



WUaS is planning for a "Admitted Students' Day" for the first, matriculating Bachelor's degree class, on or around Saturday, April 14th, 2014, and the second Saturday of April for other degrees in the future.



World University & School may target Android/iPhone/ smart phone mobile internet devices with video, and group text chat for the conference method - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - of teaching and learning, as the bare minimum hardware to begin to study for a MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree.
