What factors distinguish one Caribbean medical school from another?

A: The particular areas distinguishing international medical schools are:

1. New York State Approval. AUA is approved by the state of New York,
   which means our graduates can secure residency placements in NY state.
   This is very important because it allows the opportunity to access approximately
   one- fifth (20%) of the residency spots in the United States.

2. A solid Basic Science foundation that the student can relate to clinical practice.
3. A clinical clerkship program that will provide students with a hands-on medical education in the various clinical disciplines.
4. An environment that will provide students with the modern living conditions they are accustomed to in the United States.
