Our Success Stories
Lois Oladejo
Current Student
Expected Graduation 2027.
“I didn’t want to wait another year to try again, so I applied outside of Canada and the United States. I was able to do this after speaking with graduates of international medical schools and hearing their experiences. I had done an extensive amount of research before applying and going through with the process. After going through the process with AUC and based on the experience I had with the admission representative I was assigned to and the interview process, I decided to matriculate at AUC."
Matthew Petrilli
Graduate, 2014
Studied in Sint Maarten
“AUC gave me the opportunity to further my education and pursue a career in medicine. The training I received laid the groundwork that has helped me become an experienced and confident physician.”
