ACCREDITATIONS
Accreditations, approvals, and recognitions are extremely important. AUA is 1 of only 3 Caribbean medical schools that has the necessary accreditations that allow our graduates to obtain licensure throughout the United States and Canada.
BASIC SCIENCES

GLOBAL MD PROGRAM
The foundation of this new program, which AUA offers in collaboration with Florida International University (FIU), is an innovative curriculum that prepares tomorrow’s doctors for a medical landscape that includes diverse groups of patients, and requires physicians to be well versed in the social determinants of health. Lectures, research opportunities, field trips, and intensive seminars on global health topics supplement the Basic Sciences curriculum. This, in addition to clinical rotations at FIU-affiliated clinical sites in Florida and opportunities to complete international elective rotations, enable Global MD graduates to communicate and practice medicine across cultures in an increasingly borderless world.
