AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF THE CARIBBEAN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

Study Remote or In-Person January 2023

While we are confident that student engagement is enhanced with in-person learning, we are offering a remote option for first-time first-semester students for their first term only* to give them flexibility in learning options to start their medical education. We recognize that new students may face hardships in preparing to be on island for the first time due to circumstances compounded by COVID-19, such as challenges in passport, visa and travel-related processes. Students further along in their educational journey (semester 2 through 5) and repeat first semester students will still be required to be on island, and our clinical students will continue to participate in live clinical care settings, as we firmly believe that completing a medical education in person is the best way to learn medicine and be competitive for U.S. residency placements

Note: The remote option for AUC is only available to Sint Maarten campus first-time first-semester students and does not include the UK Track.

*The January 2023 semester remote option for new, first-time first-semester students is contingent on the U.S. COVID-19 national emergency declaration and federal allowances. If the national emergency declaration and federal allowances are terminated prior to the end of the January 2023 semester, you will be required to complete your semester on island. The remote option is not offered to continuing students (semesters 2-5) or students repeating the first semester.
