Accreditation & recognition

What does the recorded accreditor evidence say?

CAAM-HP record: Conditional accreditation, 2024–2026.

WDOMS F0001966 lists ECFMG graduation years 2008–Current and a Canada Sponsor Note. All other ECFMG, residency, visa and jurisdictional licensing requirements still apply. Accreditation alone does not confer a licence or guarantee a 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 detailed MD requirements page specifies at least 60 undergraduate credits, biology, chemistry, physics, behavioral science, mathematics and English. Science/math prerequisites older than ten years are assessed individually. MCAT is required for U.S. citizens, nationals and eligible permanent residents and encouraged for others. The overview says every application requires MCAT, while WDOMS additional information still says 90 credits. Obtain written confirmation for your circumstances. References and transcripts also apply.

Progression and examination gates

A dedicated transition term precedes core clerkships and prepares students for Step 1. Successful clerkship and examination completion is required before the residency application stage. Current numeric promotion thresholds, permitted attempts and repeat/dismissal rules were not independently established in this review; request the current handbook.

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$195,950 school-published MD tuition and fees; US$168,500 tuition alone. Fee timing and entering-cohort rates 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 school lists $16,000 per basic term and $17,700 per clinical term, plus a $195,950 MD tuition-and-fee total. This is not a full attendance budget. The page does not fully reconcile term-specific fee applications with its total, so no comparable calculated cost model is provided here. Confirm health insurance, deposits, exam fees and any excluded charges. St. Vincent housing is required; term-five housing in Georgia is also required. Living costs and interest are additional. No scholarship is deducted.

Financing: distinguish eligibility from availability

The school describes private Sallie Mae financing and scholarships; private credit approval is separate from admission. U.S. Federal Direct Loan participation was not verified in this review. VA education benefits, where individually available, are a separate program. Older Canadian federal/provincial funding statements on the school site should not be read as current eligibility: Canada ended new federal funding for international private for-profit schools August 1, 2026, with limited continuing provisions through July 31, 2029. Confirm school classification and personal eligibility with the relevant aid office.

Clinical rotations

Where and how are clerkships delivered?

The school describes 16 months in St. Vincent, a clinical transition term in Warner Robins, Georgia, then U.S. rotations. The detailed curriculum lists 48 core weeks and 27 elective weeks. A primary clinical region can include several hospitals; confirm allocated sites, timing, visa requirements and any away-elective arrangements.

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?

School-reported 98% Match rate for 2026, alongside a separate 96% residency placement rate over the last five years on the program overview. Exact five-year boundaries, numerator/denominator counts and treatment of delayed or non-applicants were not established in this review. These are different measures and neither is an entering-cohort completion rate or an independently audited comparison.

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.
