Medical University of the Americas

Welcome to the Medical University of the Americas website. Within this site you will find a school catalog and complete application forms for admission to our medical school. The decision to enter the medical field and choosing the right medical school is an important consideration that will significantly affect your life and career. This website was designed to inform prospective students about the quality of education that Medical University of the Americas has to offer. To assist you in your search, please consider the following:

Our Medical curriculum is patterned after the finest U.S. medical schools and is designed to meet the licensing requirements in the United States and other countries abroad.
Our small student/faculty ratio allows for maximum interaction between students and professors.
Each student is treated as a professional by a caring, empathetic administration and staff.
All classes are taught in English: Nevis is in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, a sovereign state within the British Commonwealth of Nations.
After 20 months of Basic Science classes on Nevis, the second two years of Clinical Medicine is offered through affiliated hospitals in the Unites States, Europe and the West Indies.

Mission Statement
Integrity in Education is the hallmark by which the Medical University of the Americas operates. Students admitted to this program should expect nothing less than to be challenged by a very rigorous medical curriculum that will prepare them for the challenges of medical practice in the 21st century. The medical school embraces a special mission to train practitioners from the island of Nevis and the Caribbean region and to contribute to the improvements of health education, research and prevention for the local population.

The island of Nevis is, without question, one of the finest islands in the Caribbean to study medicine. Nevis is a small island where green is the dominant color. In addition to its tropical beauty, Nevis is a country where there is virtually no crime and where the literacy rate is the highest in the Western Hemisphere. MUA was developed with the support of the government of Nevis, and is therefore able to offer reasonable tuition, an active scholarship program, high quality instruction and a continuous, stable future for our graduates.
