The American University of Caribbean

The American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (AUC) is a universal, revenue driven, U.S. educational program based medicinal school with a primary fundamental science grounds in Sint Maarten, and is situated in Coral Gables, Florida. Claimed by DeVry Inc. (alongside Ross University School of Medicine)since 2011, AUC is completely authorize by the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM), meets the prerequisites of the governmentally ensured understudy advance program, and is accordingly sanction for support in the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) and other elected monetary help programs. The United States Department of Education has verified that the commission's accreditation norms are tantamount to those material to U.S. restorative schools.

Established by American teacher Dr. Paul Tien in 1978, the principle grounds of the American University of the Caribbean was initially placed on the island of Montserrat, yet was compelled to move to its available area in Sint Maarten after the emission of the beforehand lethargic Soufriere Hills spring of gushing lava.

While a restorative grounds was being built on Montserrat, AUC began directing classes under its Montserrat sanction in a leased space on the grounds of the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati, Ohio. The five star, with 107 understudies, began on August 14, 1978.

The administration of Montserrat allowed AUC a 25-section of land (100,000 m2) bundle of area close Plymouth, where another grounds of 17 structures was assembled. AUC started directing classes at its new grounds in Montserrat in January 1980.

On September 17, 1989, Hurricane Hugo hit the island, seriously harming the grounds. Understudies and staff were cleared.

AUC is recorded with the World Health Organization's Avicenna catalog and in the ECFMG IMED/FAIMER database of restorative schools, which shows the school is perceived by the suitable nearby government organization.

AUC is certify by the Accreditation Commission of Colleges of Medicine (ACCM), an autonomous association situated in Ireland that certifies therapeutic schools in the interest of a few legislatures, including the administrations of Sint Maarten and the Netherlands Antilles.

A few states have their own support forms for restorative schools, all of which have sanction AUC. These incorporate California. Furthermore, New York and Florida have affirmed AUC to permit medicinal understudies to do clinical revolutions in their states.

AUC graduates may apply to the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom for enlistment (residency preparing) in the UK without bias. The main stipulation connected with AUC graduates are for understudies who, "... exchanged to the American University of the Caribbean taking after a time of learn at another medicinal school."

In the wake of finishing the beginning 5 semesters (20 months) of study in the Medical Sciences partition on AUC's St. Maarten grounds, understudies then lead 4.5 semesters (year and a half) of preparing in the Clinical Sciences bit (otherwise called the Clinical Years) at AUC's partnered showing clinics, whereby the understudies may pick between showing doctor's facilities in the United States, The United Kingdom, or Ireland. Both the obliged center turns (Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, and Psychiatry) and elective revolutions in any claim to fame may be taken at one or a few distinctive clinical locales. After an aggregate of four years of preparing, understudies are honored the level of Doctor of Medicine (M.D.).

The Montserrat grounds was modified and AUC revived it for classes in September 1990. Long thought to be torpid, the Soufrière Hills well of lava on Montserrat ejected on July 18, 1995, rendering a great part of the island appalling, including the whole city of Plymouth. Understudies and personnel were emptied, and the grounds was covered under volcanic fiery remains
