We're Glad You're Here
We believe in collaboration, not competition. We believe that the complex healthcare landscape of tomorrow will require a different type of doctor — one who is globally minded and capable of working as part of a cohesive team to deliver empathetic, extraordinary care to a diverse patient population. And we are confident that that different type of doctor is you. Our community is precious to us and is only enhanced by how our students celebrate each other’s successes and continuously lift one another up. Faculty and staff share one common goal: to shape the new generation of physicians.

Next Steps After You've Been Accepted
Apply For Financial Aid
American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine is committed to providing medical students with information to help them fund their education through student loan programs and medical school financial aid.
Find Housing
AUC students can live either on- or off-campus. AUC's Department of Housing maintains a database of off-campus housing options from which you can search based on criteria such as housing time, amenities, and price levels. Additionally, the Roommate Finder feature provides you with the ability to search for potential roommates among your fellow students.
AUC students can browse an online database, find roommates, contact landlords, and start the lease process here.
Meet Health Insurance Requirements
AUC requires all students to obtain global health insurance coverage through Nagico. Students on campus who do not have coverage as required by the government of St. Maarten will not receive a temporary residency permit. Students can contract with the insurance company during registration. Please be sure to keep your primary health insurance up to the first day of class to eliminate any disruption in coverage. Clinical students are required to have insurance in order to participate in rotations. These requirements are strictly enforced by AUC.
