St. Theresa’s Medical University was a medical school formerly located in Basseterre, St. Kitts. STMU was opened in August 2005, and closed in August 2009. STMU was founded by its Chancellor and Executive Dean, Thomas M. Uhrin, of Latrobe, PA, where it also had offices. Mr. Uhrin held himself out in St. Kitts as an MD, but had been terminated in 2004 by the International University of the Health Sciences in St. Kitts for misrepresenting his academic credentials. In 1999 he had resigned as Medical Director of a clinic in Greensburg, PA after admitting that he had not completed medical training and was not licensed as an MD. Mr. Uhrin's credentials became the subject of investigations by government ministries. Of the initial class of 17 students, 15 withdrew amid allegations of verbal abuse, unsafe learning conditions, and improper treatment of cadavers. As of the fall term ending December 2006, STMU had approximately one dozen students. In early 2007, the school claimed to have approximately 30 students enrolled. At the time of its closure, it had eight or ten students.
