Testimonials
The faculty at Avalon University School of Medicine was very supportive, and they gave me everything I needed to succeed. I think going to Avalon University School of Medicine was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Carolyn Sok, M.D., Avalon Graduate - ResidentI would like to just comment on a couple points about my time spent with Avalon University school of Medicine. Firstly we have the Island of Curacao, which was a lovely place to live, visit and study.
Jordan Spellman, M.D., Avalon Graduate - ResidentAttending Avalon University SOM was a major and right decision we made. The smaller class size provided closer one-on-one contact with the professors, which certainly was helpful in education and teaching.
Kamal Patel, M.D., Avalon Graduate - ResidentOften times, we find ourselves standing at a crossroads, wondering what path to take. Fortunately, Avalon was an ideal choice to put me on the right track for a rewarding experience in the field of medicine.
Yashar Eshman, M.D., Avalon Graduate - ResidentGoing to AUSOM was the biggest and most challenging decision I have made in my life. It turned out to be an excellent one! I was taught medicine by such intellectual and dedicated faculty who treated us like family.
Oday Awad, M.D., Avalon Graduate - ResidentI attended Avalon University when they were actively building upon a foundation for a better future. I was working towards the same goal, and Avalon helped me achieve it.
