Accreditation & recognition

What does the recorded accreditor evidence say?

CAAM-HP record: Candidacy, 2025–2027.

WDOMS F0009237 lists an operational English-language MD program beginning instruction in 2024. The accessible Sponsor Notes section did not display an ECFMG graduation-year range or a Canada Sponsor Note in this review. ECFMG states that without its Sponsor Note, students and graduates are not eligible for ECFMG Certification. A WDOMS listing alone does not establish eligibility. Seek direct confirmation from ECFMG and the intended Canadian or other regulator for the exact program and graduation year.

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?

The school describes degree entry with consideration for exceptional applicants with at least 90 undergraduate credits. It lists science, mathematics, English and behavioral-science prerequisites and generally a GPA of 3.0, with possible lower-GPA review. MCAT is described as optional, but U.S./Canadian applicants who have taken it must submit scores; the page adds a U.S. regulatory caveat. Confirm the exact requirements for your citizenship and entry pathway in writing.

Progression and examination gates

The linked 2024–2025 handbook describes a qualifying CBSE before Step 1, a Step 1 pass before clinical scheduling and up to three Step 1 attempts within a defined period. It also retains legacy numeric score references. Obtain current exam, progression and dismissal rules; a school handbook’s exam plan does not itself establish ECFMG eligibility.

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: US$173,955 school-quoted tuition and administration, effective Summer 2024; current intake confirmation and other costs required.

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 current tuition page quotes $157,420 tuition plus $16,535 administration. Older school pages still quote $170,535, while the detailed schedule uses some inconsistent tuition/admin subtotals. No calculator total is assigned until the current intake bill is reconciled. Accommodation, travel, meals, insurance, external exams and repeats add costs. Obtain a dated full quote and refund terms; do not assume the Summer 2024 schedule is guaranteed for a later intake.

Financing: distinguish eligibility from availability

The school’s loans page links to general lender and federal-aid information; these links do not establish BIMS participation or approval for an individual borrower. U.S. Federal Direct Loan participation and Canadian aid designation were not verified. Confirm scholarship terms and lender approval directly. Canada’s August 2026 federal restrictions for international private for-profit schools depend on institutional classification and individual circumstances; provincial and private routes require separate checks.

Clinical rotations

Where and how are clerkships delivered?

The school describes an 82-week clinical phase, assigned through its clinical affairs office, with possible sites in the U.S., Jamaica, the wider Caribbean and Asia. Electives can involve individual arrangements. These descriptions do not establish an allocated place, active contract capacity, visa access or licensing eligibility. Obtain a site-by-site schedule and supervising-school confirmation.

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?

No auditable school-specific residency Match rate, first-attempt USMLE cohort series or entering-cohort completion/attrition data were located in the reviewed materials. Statements about preparation and residency support are not measured outcomes. WDOMS records instruction beginning in 2024; do not import results from other schools.

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.
