“At AUA, we believe that talent is universal, but opportunity is not. This collaboration with BMCC allows us to break down barriers and create more inclusive pathways to medical education for underrepresented students,” said Dr. Peter Bell, President of AUA.

Each institution will explore ways in which they might promote and develop academic cooperation through future agreements. This collaboration includes but is not limited to an establishment of a guaranteed admissions program for BMCC graduates to study medicine at AUA.

“We have hundreds of students that are majoring in health-related programs with the hopes and aspirations of going into medicine,” said BMCC President Anthony E. Munroe at the signing event. “It is our duty and our responsibility to create opportunities for our students so that they have the ability to thrive in their career paths.”

This agreement embodies the shared vision of both American University of Antigua College of Medicine and Borough of Manhattan Community College of the City University of New York: to support a diverse, global community of future healthcare professionals and foster a collaborative model that strengthens the future of medicine.

“We’re delighted that we have this opportunity to establish a partnership with AUA–one of the leading medical schools on this side of the globe,” said President Munroe.
