5-year Premedical/MD program

The first 16 months of this program is the premedical program. The premedical program is a non-degree granting, four semester program. The first three semesters are completed online (can be completed from home country), and the final semester is completed at our campus in Curaçao. For the students that successfully complete the premedical program, they would gain automatic admission into our MD program which is commenced at our campus in Curaçao.

The premedical program incorporates the basic undergraduate courses that are the prerequisite courses required for the MD program. The premedical curriculum is designed to give high school graduates, or students who have not fully met the requirements for the MD program a firm foundation of the sciences to help prepare them for the MD program.
