A group of more than 50 schools in 16 countries are working to create an online medical school, in part to combat the "brain drain" that occurs when medical students go abroad for their education but do not return later. ... Organizers said that because degrees would be granted by individual participating schools, all of which are accredited, students should not have to worry about accreditation problems."

Who would you rather have cutting you open and tinkering with your internals? Someone who's had years of hands-on experience and hardcore studying or someone who got their degree online?

IMHO, In the world of medicine, there is no such thing as "virtual".
