Accreditation & recognition

What does the recorded accreditor evidence say?

CAAM-HP record: Accreditation denied.

WDOMS has separate entries. Santiago (F0000465) lists ECFMG graduation years 1978–Current. Santo Domingo (F0007564) lists 2021–Current. Each shows a Canada Sponsor Note. Confirm the exact campus 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 criteria effective August 2026 list a minimum secondary-school average of 70/100 or equivalent, PAA of 850, POMA, an essay, a portfolio and an interview. For transfers, the document treats GPA 2.8 or higher as equivalent to the PAA threshold. Confirm the applicable campus process and document requirements.

Progression and examination gates

The 2022–23 catalogue describes progression from pre-internship to internship. Obtain the current campus handbook for promotion, repeat and graduation rules.

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: PUCMM publishes 2026–27 general tuition and fee categories. A complete medicine-specific total was not verified.

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 general schedule lists RD$3,700 or US$270 per credit by billing category and separate registration and laboratory charges. Confirm the medicine rate, credit load and your billing category with the campus before calculating a total.

Financing: distinguish eligibility from availability

The university publishes scholarship and educational credit information and a federal-loan pricing category. Current U.S. federal or Canadian government aid eligibility for medicine at either campus was not verified.

Clinical rotations

Where and how are clerkships delivered?

The 2022–23 catalogue describes a 52-week internship across six rotations. Confirm the current curriculum, assigned clinical sites and supervision with the campus.

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 for either campus.

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.
