Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo School of Medicine

Accreditation & recognition

What does the recorded accreditor evidence say?

CAAM-HP record: Conditional accreditation, 2025–2030.

WDOMS F0001847 lists Spanish instruction, ECFMG graduation years 1978–Current and a Canada Sponsor Note. Confirm the exact qualification/year and meet all remaining certification, residency, immigration and licensing requirements. Directory inclusion and accreditation do not guarantee a license or residency.

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 application page separates new entrants, transfers and degree holders, with identity/academic documents, admissions testing, English placement and a group interview for medicine. Foreign studies require the relevant recognition, legalization/apostille and Spanish translations. It limits the MCAT requirement for medicine/premedical transfers to federal-loan applicants; this must not become a blanket MCAT requirement for every entrant. Obtain route-specific written requirements.

Progression and examination gates

The 2024 brochure requires a basic-science proficiency examination with three attempts, four seminars and 70 continuing-education hours. Its Step 1 pass requirement is conditional on choosing the specified preparation course. Request the controlling intake handbook for promotion, repeats and dismissal; the brochure is dated and CAAM-HP called for implementation of admissions/progression standards in January 2026.

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: Intake- and residency-dependent fees in DOP or USD. May 2026 schedule and older tables coexist; obtain a dated medicine quotation.

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 fee page differentiates admission groups and nationality/residency. Its May 2026 section lists foreign-medicine matrícula of US$346 for entrants from 2025-T2, laboratory US$380 and clinical/internship rotation charges US$139.94. Older tables on the same page explicitly label tuition per credit and use lower amounts. Confirm the billing unit of the newer matrícula column and your credit load; it is not a verified flat term bill. First registration, other fees, living costs and post-degree requirements are separate. No USD programme total is assigned.

Financing: distinguish eligibility from availability

INTEC reports federal-loan assistance and publishes a medicine graduate cost-of-attendance example. This is school-reported participation, not independent confirmation of a current individual award. Its page includes legacy loan categories and amounts: do not treat them as a 2026/27 entitlement. Obtain written confirmation covering your programme phase, citizenship/eligible status, academic progress, annual limits and current borrowing rules. Canadian designation and private-credit approval were not established.

Clinical rotations

Where and how are clerkships delivered?

The 2024 brochure describes 21 trimesters: premedical 1–6, basic sciences 7–11, clinical/pre-internship 12–17 and internship 18–21. This is a Spanish-language Dominican pathway; confirm hospital assignments, supervision and language proficiency. WDOMS lists five years, so confirm the curriculum and expected calendar for your intake. Overseas electives are not a guaranteed U.S. placement.

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, auditable entering-cohort completion/attrition series and a defined North American Match denominator were not established. WDOMS annual admission and graduation counts describe different student groups and must not be divided into a completion rate.

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.
