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 - each of whom are experts in their specialties.

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.

Xavier University School of Medicine at Aruba's well respected Board of Directors know what requirements are needed for our students to readily compete for the limited and coveted residency positions that become available. There are Residency Directors that annually call some of our board members for possible residency candidates. 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.
