I went to both Medical Board sites you mentioned. Didn't find any list of "Unapproved Schools" for Oklahoma, so I called their office. I was told they do not have a list of unapproved schools and that there are numerous AUC grads practicing in Oklahoma. Call 405-848-6841 if you have any questions.
Checked Alabama's website. They have a list of "Unapproved Schools": UTESA and UNIREMHOS in the DR. Their list of "suspect schools" does include AUC (as well as IUHS, Spartan,and others). I called their office and spoke to Ms. Jackie Baskin. She told me that graduates of the "suspect schools" could be licensed but usually had to show evidence of having physically attended the school (i.e. immigration stamps in a passport). So, no "distance learning" for Alabama. I know from other research that there are indeed AUC grads licensed to practice in Alabama.
If you want to wade throught the particulars of the Alabama laws, check it out:
