Caribbean Medical University School of Medicine

Accreditation & recognition

What does the recorded accreditor evidence say?

CAAM-HP record: Accreditation denied.

WDOMS F0002431 lists ECFMG Sponsor Note coverage for graduation years 2007–Current and a Canada Sponsor Note. Check the exact programme, graduation year and applicable licensing requirements.

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 describes the four-year MD route as following an undergraduate degree. Confirm the current prerequisite courses, credit requirements and placement for your entry route with the school.

Progression and examination gates

The 2023 orientation guide requires passing USMLE Step 1 before assignment to a clinical rotation. Ask for the current handbook and the rules governing progression, repeats and dismissal.

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 lists US$6,900 per basic science trimester and US$10,900 per clinical science trimester for 2026.

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 2026 schedule also lists US$4,900 per premedical trimester and separate fees, including mandatory clinical liability insurance. Confirm the billed term count, required charges and any rotation costs before estimating the full degree cost.

Financing: distinguish eligibility from availability

The school describes scholarships, payment plans and student loans. Current U.S. federal Direct Loan and Canadian government aid eligibility for this MD were not verified.

Clinical rotations

Where and how are clerkships delivered?

The 2023 orientation guide describes 72 clerkship weeks, with 48 core and 24 elective weeks. Obtain current site assignments and written information on supervision, rotation availability and charges.

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?

Comparable entering-cohort completion and residency Match rates were not established from the reviewed sources.

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.
