Metropolitan University College of Medicine

Accreditation & recognition

What does the recorded accreditor evidence say?

CAAM-HP record: Provisional accreditation, 2024–2028.

WDOMS F0005227 contains ECFMG graduation years 2019–Current and a Canada Sponsor Note. Remaining ECFMG, residency, visa and jurisdictional licensing requirements apply. Provisional accreditation and a directory listing do not guarantee certification, a residency place or a licence.

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 four-year MD entry page specifies at least 90 college credits, laboratory biology/general chemistry/organic chemistry/physics, English and calculus or statistics. GPA 3.0 is preferred with lower-GPA applications considered. MCAT is recommended for U.S. applicants and not required for Canadians; CASPer is also not required for Canadians. The 5½-year route begins with pre-medical study after secondary school. Confirm your degree equivalence, English evidence and intake-specific documentation.

Progression and examination gates

The linked student manual, with a May 2022 filename, uses 70% as a pass grade, 2.0 GPA for good standing and a seven-year maximum including leaves. It requires passing Basic Sciences before clinical progression and describes remediation, course repetition and possible dismissal. Obtain current controlling rules, exam authorization thresholds and attempt limits; a newer website still mentions the discontinued Step 2 CS exam.

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$8,385 per basic-science semester and US$13,417 per clinical semester; fees, entry pathway and current intake quote require confirmation.

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 table bills five basic and six clinical semesters, illustrating $122,427 tuition before other fees. It contains inconsistent clinical semester labels, and the same page shows a different annual schedule for the longer pathway. No universal calculator model is assigned. Administration, registration, insurance, living expenses and repeats are additional; a seat reservation is credited toward tuition rather than added twice. Confirm the exact pathway, billing periods and all mandatory charges in a dated quote.

Financing: distinguish eligibility from availability

The school describes discretionary scholarships and approved instalment plans; obtain award amounts, renewal conditions and payment terms in writing. U.S. Federal Direct Loan participation and Canadian aid designation were not verified. Country-level NCFMEA comparability does not establish this school’s participation. Canadian federal restrictions from August 2026 depend on school classification and individual continuing-student circumstances; verify provincial and private financing separately.

Clinical rotations

Where and how are clerkships delivered?

The school describes 72 clinical weeks: 48 mandatory core and 24 elective. Core training is at school-affiliated U.S./Caribbean hospitals; electives may be at affiliated or other hospitals. A clinical coordinator manages placements, but obtain written dates, allocated sites, current capacity, supervision, surcharges and visa conditions. School statements about guaranteed placement do not independently establish individual access.

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?

The reviewed school materials describe residency mentoring and application support but do not establish a current auditable Match numerator/denominator, first-attempt USMLE cohort series or entering-cohort completion/attrition figures. Support promises are not outcome statistics.

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.
