Reviewed accreditation, admissions, fees, clinical training, funding and recognition on November 5, 2026.
Accreditation & recognition
What does the recorded accreditor evidence say?
IAAR accreditation recorded by WDOMS, December 2024. The school reports an award through December 2029.
WDOMS records IAAR accreditation dated December 20, 2024 for the four- and five-year MD routes. The school states the award runs through December 2029. Verify the current certificate and any conditions with IAAR. CAAM-HP records a 2017 non-accreditation decision, and ACCM records a voluntary withdrawal in January 2025. This profile covers Dominica only.
WDOMS F0002272 contains an ECFMG Sponsor Note for graduation years 2006–Current and a Canada Sponsor Note. Check the exact degree, year and requirements in the jurisdiction where you intend to train or practise.
This status is one layer of the decision. Applicants should also inspect the school’s World Directory Sponsor Notes, current ECFMG eligibility, and every state or provincial licensing rule that applies to their intended career path.
Open accreditor evidenceAdmissions
What should an applicant confirm?
The school advertises a four-year MD route for applicants with prior university study and a five-year route with a premedical stage for secondary-school graduates. Confirm the exact university credit and laboratory prerequisites for your entry route.
Progression and examination gates
The graduation page lists NBME comprehensive exams and 72 weeks of clerkships. It still refers to USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills, which USMLE discontinued in 2021. Obtain the current written progression, exam and graduation rules for your intake.
Confirm prerequisite credits, MCAT policy, transfer-credit limits, language requirements, start dates, interview process and any preparatory or extended track attached to an offer. MDCaribbean does not infer an “acceptance rate” when a school does not publish an auditable denominator.
- Ask whether acceptance is direct to the MD program or conditional on a pre-matriculation course.
- Request written progression and dismissal standards before paying a non-refundable deposit.
- For Canadians, verify provincial student-aid and bank medical-line-of-credit treatment separately.
Tuition & financial aid
The published price is not the total cost.
Recorded published figure: School quotes US$92,250 for the four-year route and US$108,330 for the five-year route. Confirm the five-year breakdown.
Build a term-by-term model that adds mandatory fees, health and evacuation insurance, books, housing, flights, clinical relocation, exam charges and financing interest. A repeated term or delayed rotation can materially change the final debt.
The four-year listing itemizes five basic science terms at US$5,750 and six clinical terms at US$9,500, plus US$6,500 in listed charges, which add up to US$92,250. The five-year table repeats semester numbers and does not clearly reconcile to its headline. Request an intake-specific invoice and budget separately for housing, travel, exams and clinical relocation.
Financing: distinguish eligibility from availability
U.S. federal Direct Loan participation and Canadian student aid designation for this MD were not verified. Check eligibility with the relevant funding agency for your programme and start date.
Open official tuition scheduleClinical rotations
Where and how are clerkships delivered?
The school describes five basic science terms in Dominica followed by 72 weeks of clinical training. Confirm assigned sites, elective availability, the terms of supervision and any location-dependent fees before enrolling.
Ask for the current core-site list, whether the school schedules every core rotation, typical wait time, expected relocations, housing responsibility, supervision model and any site surcharge.
Residency outcomes
What does the reported result actually measure?
A current entering-cohort completion rate and a residency match rate with a defined applicant denominator were not established in the reviewed materials.
Placement counts, first-time attainment and multi-year placement rates answer different questions. The most useful disclosure includes the entering cohort, attrition, on-time graduation, applicants to residency, matched applicants, timing, specialty and whether SOAP or post-Match placements are included.
Open school-reported outcomesEvidence still needed
What this review does not establish
The exact IAAR certificate term is school-reported. Five-year charges, current examination rules, clinical placements, funding and comparable cohort outcomes require confirmation.
