Our mission is to create really enthusiastic physicians who are well equipped for practice in a changing medical environment by emphasizing quality patient care, leveraging the most recent advancements in sophisticated technological training, and providing individualized education.

Our Vision

Our vision is to remain at the forefront of alternative medical schools. In order to enable talented medical students fulfill their aspirations of becoming doctors—who not only become professionals but also lead their professions through excellence—we will offer a secure, contemporary atmosphere.

Our Approach

We introduce the regular Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree a total 6- Year Program. All students who successfully complete Years 1- 4 (Phases I and II) will be awarded a Bachelor of Medicine/Medical Science (BMed/BMedS). This degree will offer an opportunity to students who either do not want to or cannot progress from Phase II to Phase III of their studies to obtain a degree that will help them follow a different career path. To progress from Phase II to Phase III for the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program, students must pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1.

The structure of the MD program represents both the regular and blended way of studying. When you use the blended mode you’ll be provided with a timetable for the semester; then, you’ll have to attend the classes presented live by a professor of each discipline. Still the university prioritizes the education of students. Hence, attendance is compulsory for all classes to ensure you fulfill the required number of study hours for the program. Lectures and seminars are presented by each professor using a virtual teaching software called “Google Classroom.” Using this software, students will attend the live class, engage with the teaching professor using the camera and microphone, be assessed using multiple choice questions, and receive homework and assignments after each class.

Students gain clinical experience in the curriculum starting with clinical practice from Year 4 for a minimum period of 15 weeks. The university will recognize your rotations if you provide the proper documentation from your hospital of choice.

Clinical placements in Years 5 and 6 are at teaching hospitals in US, Canada, Europe and Caribbean countries.
