Review scope

Reviewed the CAAM-HP determination, ACCM annual report, WDOMS operational listing and Sponsor Notes, and the school’s admissions materials.

Accreditation & recognition

What does the recorded accreditor evidence say?

CAAM-HP record: Not accredited by CAAM-HP.

Accreditation review scope · 2026-11-04

CAAM-HP’s June 2012 determination retained its earlier decision to withhold provisional accreditation, citing insufficient evidence of teaching activity in Montserrat and inadequate resources. ACCM’s 2024 annual report lists USAT among earlier applicants that did not advance.

WDOMS F0000836 limits the Canada Sponsor Note to 2003–2018. The ECFMG Sponsor Note lists graduation years 2003–2018 and explicitly excludes graduation years 2019 onward from applying for ECFMG Certification.

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.

Open accreditor evidence

Admissions

What should an applicant confirm?

The school publishes application and transfer information. Current intake and actual delivery locations were not independently verified.

Progression and examination gates

WDOMS lists a four-year English-language programme with MD or MBBS credential options. Current progression and clinical-entry rules were not verified.

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: No current itemized medical degree tuition schedule 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.

Financing: distinguish eligibility from availability

Current U.S. Title IV or Canadian public student aid eligibility was not verified.

Clinical rotations

Where and how are clerkships delivered?

A current list of contracted core rotation sites and placement terms was not independently verified.

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?

No comparable cohort completion, exam or residency placement outcomes were verified.

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.

Evidence still needed

What this review does not establish

Retained as a caution record because of the historical Sponsor Note coverage. Current intake, programme authorization, tuition, clinical contracts and comparable outcomes were not independently verified.
