Find a Progressive Curriculum and Affordable Education at a
Caribbean University
Despite how many students
wish to become doctors, most don't follow through with their plans due to
prohibitive costs and the limited number of slots available in their local
institutions. At a Caribbean
university, students can enjoy excellent education with higher
acceptance rates and a reasonable tuition.
International American
University - College of Medicine is located in the Eastern Caribbean Sea, on
the island nation of St. Lucia. Our medical school features a program based on
the US model and offers education using the latest technology and teaching
methods. At our Caribbean med school, students can enjoy a shorter pre-med
program done in partnership with Texas A&M University-Commerce. This allows
students at our college of medicine to complete the entire Pre-medical and MD
program in six years rather than the traditional eight.
Aside from allowing
students to achieve their dreams in a shorter span of time, we also provide
opportunities to maximize their time in school. A major part of our curriculum
includes extensive preparation for the United States Medical Licensing
Examination (USMLE) which ensures that our students are well-prepared for the
exam that may ultimately decide their career.
Among Caribbean medical
school programs, ours stands out for the progressive approach we take to
education. While others expose their students solely to classroom-based
didactics for their basic science coursework, our students are immediately
introduced to a problem-oriented curriculum that emphasizes research,
discussions, and other active forms of learning. This method is similar to many
of the best schools in the US, and helps to build our students' confidence in
their skills.
We also offer many
opportunities for students to learn through experiences close to the actual
practice. As early as their first semester, students will begin interacting
with patients through supervised activities at local clinics. After their basic
science semesters at our Caribbean medical college in St. Lucia, students spend
the remaining semesters in affiliate teaching hospitals located mainly in the
US. Upon completion of post-graduate residency training, our graduates become
eligible for a license in many countries including the United States and
Canada.
Finally, qualified
foreign medical graduates intending to enter post-graduate residency training
in the US or Canada may also be interested in the externship program our
Caribbean medical university offers. Specialized training for foreign doctors
is also available through this program.
Pursuing your dream to
become a medical professional at home or in other parts of the world shouldn't
come to an end due to the high cost of tuition or low acceptance rates in local
universities. Visit our academics
page to learn
about the different programs we offer or see our admissions
