College of Medicine:
AUA College of Medicine provides clinical clerkships and hospital rotation opportunities in some of the best teaching hospitals in the U.S. We have affiliations with 20 teaching hospitals where students complete their clinical training and the number is constantly growing. Although less than 5 years old, the AUA program is proud to be one of a few that has been approved by the State of New York, allowing our students the option to complete their clinical training and residencies at NY state-approved hospitals. We are one of the few schools that offer both a four-year and a six-year medical program that leads to becoming a licensed physician in the United States and Canada. AUA does its utmost to prepare students to become licensed U.S. physicians by preparing them to pass the USMLE step examinations as well as preparing students to become successful U.S. physicians. AUA graduates have been highly successful in securing U.S. residencies through the National Residency Match Program. Not only is AUA a recipient of U.S. Congressional approval, but under the offices of the Mayo Clinic Medical Transport's Gold Gross Training Center, AUA has also been named as an international training site by the American Heart Association (AHA).
About American University of Antigua (AUA):
AUA is a hospital-integrated university in the Caribbean where you begin your clinical experience starting in your first semester. We strongly believe in mentoring students by providing a close faculty-to-student interaction. Small class sizes enhance learning and the interaction between students and their professors. It is our pledge to never have more than 120 students per classroom. This is unique among the Caribbean medical schools which helps maximize student’s learning experience. In addition, the outstanding experience of our U.S. and international faculty meets the highest standards of modern education. Our comprehensive modern classrooms and learning facility are designed for students who aspire to become highly skilled, compassionate physicians and nurses and plan to practice medicine and nursing throughout Canada, the United States and the Caribbean region. AUA represents the realization of the commitment made by the founding group of American physicians, nurses and medical education professionals, together with Manipal University to create a truly world class educational institution.
