Recognition varies by school, accreditation status, and state medical board. Always check the specific school's accreditation directly with CAAM-HP or ACCM and review state-by-state eligibility before applying.
Some schools require the MCAT, some treat it as optional, and others do not require it. Filter by MCAT requirement in our directory and verify on each school's official site.
A Premed program is preparatory coursework that helps applicants meet MD prerequisites. The MD program is the four-year medical degree itself, typically combining basic-science semesters with clinical rotations.
Clinical rotation destinations vary by school. Many Caribbean schools have US-based clinical affiliations; some also offer rotations in the UK or Canada. Always verify with the school.
Accreditation should be verified directly through the accrediting body's official directory (CAAM-HP or ACCM). 'Assessed' is not the same as 'accredited'. We label every school's status conservatively until independently verified.
