AUSOM - Caribbean Medical University is one of
the top medical schools in the Caribbean, established by Caribbean Medical
University Foundation and registered on the island of Curacao, supported by the
Government of Curacao.
Our goal is to prepare students for the next
level of medical training in ACGME-accredited American teaching hospitals
by implementing U.S. standard curriculum, used in the best North American
LCME/AAMC colleges of medicine stressing Higher Order Thinking Skills tested in
USMLE Step I rather than simple memorization of facts.
At Avalon Medical
University, we intend to create an entirely new model of medical education,
one that will enhance the university's ability to act as a transformation
agent in health care. Our unique approach embraces cross-disciplinary teaching
modalities, breakthrough technologies, and innovative ways to advance training
in both basic science and clinical skills throughout the medical school
curriculum. In addition, we wish to deepen students' understanding of academic
medicine to better prepare tomorrow's doctors and make a far-reaching impact on
their further career.
AUSOM’s faculty consists of professors who are qualified
doctors with a great experience and knowledge of the basic sciences and medical
practice, which makes them an integral part of the success of AUSOM graduates. The
island of Curacao is one of the most developed and modern islands in the Caribbean,
which allows AUSOM to conduct the medical program in an up-to-date and friendly
environment. As a Caribbean medical school, our goal is to make sure that all
students obtain a sufficient level of medical knowledge to understand the basic
facts, concepts and principles essential to successful medical practice.
Avalon University School of Medicine takes great pride in
making sure all students are pointed in the right direction to succeed. With
our designed small class sizes being an average of only 30 students per class,
this attractive student-to-teacher ratio offers students the experience of
individualized attention in our intensive medical school program. Our faculty
members are dedicated to providing the leadership needed for a healthy and exciting
learning environment. Our goal is for all students to be molded into
well-rounded physicians who exhibit the compassion, integrity and honesty
essential for medical practice.
