Antigua has two medical schools: the American University of Antigua in Coolidge and our partner, the University of Health Sciences Antigua, which offers our applicants a tuition discount, one clinical year in the USA and a four-year graduate-entry track.

US-Accredited Caribbean Medical Schools

US graduates can practise with a Caribbean degree because of three checks. The school is accredited by an agency recognised by the World Federation for Medical Education, such as CAAM-HP or the Grenada Medical and Dental Council. It is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools with the ECFMG Sponsor Note. And graduates obtain ECFMG certification after passing USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK. With that, they apply through ERAS and the NRMP Match like any US graduate. We place students only at schools that meet all three.

How to Choose a Caribbean Medical School

Four questions narrow the list down. Where do the clinical rotations take place, and in which US cities? How many intakes a year does the school offer? What does the full programme cost, and which financing options exist? And does the school offer a graduate-entry track if you already hold a degree? The best Caribbean medical schools 2026 compares the leading schools on exactly these points.

Caribbean Medical Schools in International Comparison

The United States had 54,699 applicants for 23,440 MD seats in 2025. Canada trains its doctors in a four-year MD after an undergraduate degree. In Europe, English-taught medicine takes six years directly after high school, at our partner universities from around 3,500 euros a year. Caribbean medical schools are the only option abroad that combines a four-year US-style MD, several intakes a year and clinical years in US hospitals.
