What is the Medical Readiness Education Program?
Online Webinar

The American University of the Caribbean’s Medical Education Readiness Program (MERP) is a 15-week medical school preparatory program offered to students as a conditional acceptance to AUC.
MERP is designed to build a strong foundation in the medical sciences while helping students adjust to the demands of a medical school curriculum. Although MERP is a separate program, for applicants who are referred to MERP we view it as your first step in the AUC journey.
During this live session we’ll discuss:
- How MERP prepares students for medical school
- Who is a good candidate for the program
- How those who attend MERP perform in medical school
Join us for the live session and submit questions for our panel of former MERP students now studying at AUC.
