Medical University of the Americas makes it possible for students to earn their M.D. in under 4 years. Our students spend 20 months studying Basic Sciences on the campus in Nevis and then return to the U.S. or Canada for 72 weeks of clinical rotations. We manage our clinical program to ensure that there are enough available clerkships for our students to complete their core rotations without delay. MUA has affiliations with ACGME-approved teaching hospitals in the U.S. (and their equivalent in Canada)—more than enough to ensure timely placement for our students.
