Windsor University School of Medicine

Accreditation & recognition

What does the recorded accreditor evidence say?

CAAM-HP record: Probation, 2025–2027.

WDOMS F0001715 lists ECFMG graduation years 2000–Current and a Canada Sponsor Note. Check the exact credential, graduation year and jurisdictional requirements. CAAM-HP probation remains a separate consideration.

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 checklist requests transcripts, a CV, a personal statement and two recommendations. It specifies MCAT or similar testing for U.S. students and credential and English testing documentation for applicants outside the U.S. and Canada. The 2025 handbook includes GPA and credit criteria but describes 90 undergraduate credits as both required and recommended. Confirm direct MD eligibility and how the school applies its published MCAT thresholds.

Progression and examination gates

The 2025 handbook describes a comprehensive basic science exam after MD 5, with a maximum of three attempts and dismissal after a third failure. It also describes clinical shelf examinations, OSCEs and signed rotation evaluations. Ask for the current promotion and USMLE sponsorship rules for your cohort.

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: Conflicting published schedules. Obtain a written quote for your intake and clinical locations.

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 tuition page lists US$5,740 per term in MD 1–4 and US$7,390 in MD 5, with US$6,490 clinical tuition per term for MD 6–10 plus applicable charges. The brochure lists US$7,190, US$8,840 and US$11,490 respectively, with clinical billing through MD 11. Confirm which schedule applies, the number of billed terms, rotation surcharges, exams, insurance and living costs before budgeting.

Financing: distinguish eligibility from availability

Windsor advertises Canadian provincial aid and private financing. Current programme eligibility and U.S. Direct Loan participation were not independently verified. Canada restricts federal funding at private for-profit schools abroad from August 1, 2026, with a limited transition for eligible prior recipients in the same programme and school through July 31, 2029. Confirm provincial and federal eligibility separately.

Clinical rotations

Where and how are clerkships delivered?

Windsor describes 72 clinical weeks, including 48 core weeks and 24 weeks of electives and selectives. Its affiliate page identifies sites in the U.S. and Jamaica. Confirm specific core sites, elective arrangements, charges and state licensing implications for your intake.

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 school publishes an alumni residency placement roster. A current entering-cohort completion rate and a Match rate with a defined applicant denominator were not established.

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.
