CURRICULUM
PRE MEDICAL PROGRAM
A dedicated faculty, caring and encouraging counselors, an enriching community, all wrapped up in a beautiful and vibrant environment, is what awaits our high school finishers (12th graders) at the American University of Barbados for the Pre Medical program. The program consists of 4 semesters. The subjects taught during this phase strengthen our medical student’s foundational knowledge.
BASIC SCIENCE PROGRAM
The Basic Science program is of 5 semesters and comprises of Pre-clinical and Para-clinical subjects. The problem-based teaching methodology at AUB provides students with extensive USMLE training throughout the Basic Science program. In order to succeed in USMLE and practice in USA, students are encouraged to take NBME exams, which are practice exams and approximates the USMLE standards. The students save time as the MD program and USMLE preparation goes hand in hand. Such rigorous training helps students to score better in USMLE in their first attempt.
CLINICAL SCIENCE PROGRAM
The Clinical Science Program comprises of intensive 72 weeks of physician-supervised clinical training. This includes 48 weeks of Core Rotations and 24 weeks of Elective Rotations at our teaching affiliate hospitals and specialized clinical facilities in USA and other countries. Students receive personal guidance from the clinical faculty to develop essential skills and knowledge. We encourage students to take the NBME examination after every core rotation, which in turn prepares them for the USMLE Step 2.
