Accreditation & recognition

What does the recorded accreditor evidence say?

CAAM-HP record: Accreditation denied.

Accreditation review scope · 2026-11-04

CAAM-HP records accreditation denied in July 2018. Separately, WDOMS lists closure in 2023 and reports that Saint Lucia’s Ministry of Education confirmed in November 2024 that the school had ceased operating.

WDOMS F0002364 shows an ECFMG Sponsor Note covering graduation years 2007–2023 and a Canada Sponsor Note. Graduates should confirm credential verification and destination requirements directly. The directory identifies March 2023 as the final graduating group.

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.

Admissions

What should an applicant confirm?

WDOMS lists the former MD under discontinued programmes. The record applies to AIM-U in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia.

Progression and examination gates

For past study, verify transcript and credential records with the appropriate authority. A current records custodian was not established in this review.

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: Closed programme. Current tuition is not applicable.

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.

Financing: distinguish eligibility from availability

Current applicant funding is not applicable to the discontinued MD. Historical participation was not verified.

Clinical rotations

Where and how are clerkships delivered?

WDOMS retains historical clinical training information for the discontinued MD. Graduates should verify the dates and sites of their individual rotations from official records.

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?

Current cohort and Match measures are unavailable for the discontinued programme. This review did not establish historical outcome rates.

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 outcomes

Evidence still needed

What this review does not establish

Historical recognition depends on the exact degree and graduation date. The current transcript custodian and historical outcomes were not established.
