The Xavier University School of Medicine at Aruba (XUSOM) is a prime
choice for foreign students to pursue their medical education overseas in the Caribbean. Our medical school
offers studies in the Caribbean with, guaranteed clinical rotations in the United States. Best of all, there are no MCAT required for admission.
XUSOM's campus is conveniently located on one of the most accessible
Caribbean Islands. With over 14 flights daily from the United States and all customs and
immigration being processed locally, travel between Aruba and the US is extremely easy. Aruba
is part of the "ABC" islands in the Dutch Caribbean.
XUSOM was chartered in the Caribbean in December 2004 by the Ministry of Education
of Aruba. The Medical School is now Directed by a group of Premier Doctors
from the United States - all of whom are experts in their specialties.
School of Medicine
International Medical Student
The Xavier University School
of Medicine at Aruba was founded to train students in the art of medicine using a US based curriculum.
The entire focus of our program is to ensure students receive the knowledge they need to successfully
enter residencies in the United States as competent physicians.
The biggest challenge medical students' face in medical
school is passing their United States Medical Licensure
Examinations, (USMLE Step 1 and USMLE Step 2). These
exams must be successfully completed before
applying to residency. Our basic science curriculum is
USMLE-based. The Xavier University School of Medicine
at Aruba has numerous ACGME clinical clerkships sites;
all of which take place in the United States.
While in the US, students are required to attend USMLE
board review with KAPLAN. Students are also required to
attend grand rounds, didactics and other educational
programs. Our USMLE based basic science curriculum
combined with our strong US based clinical programs,
ensures that all our students are prepared to successfully
negotiate their USMLE Step exams.
For thirty years, the United States governing medical body
has permitted citizens or residents from the United States
and Canada, who train abroad and meet the requirements,
to enter the U.S. residency training system.
We are confident in what we do and
we are here to help you realize your dream of becoming a
physician and practicing on the United States.
