Caribbean medical school cost 2026: tuition per year, cheapest Caribbean medical school, living costs, US rotation costs and financing options in euros.
Caribbean Medical School Tuition 2026
| School type | Tuition per year | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Our partner university | around 7,300 € before partner discount | UHSA, Antigua |
| Mid-sized Caribbean schools | around 15,000 to 30,000 € | Schools on St. Kitts, St. Lucia, Curaçao |
| Largest Caribbean schools | over 40,000 € | Grenada, Barbados, St. Maarten |
The total cost of a full Caribbean MD at the largest schools lands at roughly 155,000 to 205,000 euros, still clearly below most private US medical schools. At UHSA the total is a fraction of that.
Cheapest Caribbean Medical School
Our partner, the University of Health Sciences Antigua, is one of the cheapest established Caribbean medical schools. Regular tuition is 8,500 US dollars a year, roughly 7,300 euros, and applicants who come through Medschool Experts receive an additional partner discount. On top of that, UHSA offers one clinical year in the USA and a four-year graduate-entry track.
Living Costs on the Islands
Living costs in Antigua run at about 750 to 1,300 euros a month, including rent, food and transport. Shared student apartments near campus keep costs low. On larger islands such as Barbados or St. Maarten, budgets are somewhat higher.
Costs during US Clinical Rotations
During the clinical years you live near your rotation hospital in the US. Costs depend on the city: rotation sites in the Midwest or Southeast are considerably cheaper than New York or Miami. Planning rotation sites early also helps planning the budget.
{{cta}}Financing a Caribbean Medical School
Several Caribbean medical schools are approved for US federal student loans, which makes financing much easier for American citizens. Others offer instalment plans, merit scholarships or cooperate with private lenders. We compare the financing options of each school for you.
Caribbean Medical School Cost vs US and Europe
A private US MD often costs well above 250,000 euros in total. In Europe, English-taught medicine at our partner universities starts at around 3,500 euros a year, over six years. The Caribbean sits in between on cost, but offers what neither route abroad does: a four-year US-style MD with clinical years in American hospitals.

Study medicine abroad: Marcel's own path
Born in Stuttgart, Marcel started his degree late: at 24 he enrolled at the Medical University of Sofia, Faculty of Dental Medicine, and graduated in 2021 from the English-language programme. He went through the same steps his clients face today — nostrification of school certificates, entrance interviews, finding a flat in Sofia and later the recognition of a foreign degree. In Switzerland he completed the federal recognition procedure and holds a Swiss dental licence.
What Marcel does at Medschool Experts
Today Marcel lives in Bern and runs Medschool Experts full-time. He visits every partner university in person, negotiates placement agreements directly with faculties and deans, and leads the free consultations in which applicants learn at which university they can start next semester. His YouTube channel on studying medicine abroad has helped thousands of applicants compare universities, costs and recognition.
