Why Start Your MD In May?
Believe it or not, you could be only months away from turning one of your career goals into reality in 2024. Spend your summer in Barbados pursuing your passion for medicine. May can be an ideal time to start taking steps towards earning your MD.
Start Sooner, Practice Sooner
Why wait until fall? By starting in May 2024, you could match into a residency (and start practicing!) as early as summer 2028. Those who wait until the fall semester to start med school will have to wait for a 2029 residency start.
Smaller Class Sizes
Expect smaller classes than traditional fall starts—something we see as a great benefit for our students. Not only does this mean more individualized attention from professors, but with a smaller class, you’ll have less competition for scholarships.
Hands-On From the Start
Our new community-based program begins within the first weeks of your first semester, allowing you to get meaningful clinical training while making a real-world difference to local patients in Barbados. Your first clinical exposures may include participation in mobile pop-up clinics, home visits, mental health facilities, and more.
Apply for One of Our Three Start Dates
Start pursuing an MD when it makes sense. You lead a busy life, so we’ve adapted our admissions process to allow you the flexibility to start in one of three start dates.
