Accreditation & recognition

What does the recorded accreditor evidence say?

ACCM: Accredited to June 30, 2029. Separate CAAM-HP record: Voluntarily withdrawn, February 2020.

Accreditation review scope · 2026-11-04

ACCM accreditation runs through June 30, 2029. Xavier voluntarily withdrew from CAAM-HP in February 2020, a separate agency decision.

WDOMS F0002232 shows ECFMG graduation years 2004–Current and a Canada Sponsor Note. Certification, residency and licensure have separate requirements.

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?

Xavier lists 90 college credit hours and specified science and general education prerequisites for the four-year MD. WDOMS describes undergraduate degree completion, so applicants without a degree should confirm eligibility in writing.

Progression and examination gates

The newer tuition schedule lists five basic science terms and 76 clinical weeks. Confirm the applicable progression and exam thresholds in 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$187,700 in MD tuition for Summer 2026 and later entrants, before fees and living costs.

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

The school lists private financing options. U.S. Title IV participation and current Canadian public aid eligibility were not independently verified.

Open official tuition schedule

Clinical rotations

Where and how are clerkships delivered?

Xavier reports core rotations primarily in the United States and lists Illinois, Maryland and New York. Availability and site assignment can change.

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 selected residency placements. A comparable entering-cohort Match rate was not 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

Confirm the intake-specific charges and clinical placement terms. Individual aid eligibility and comparable cohort outcomes remain unverified.
