Thinking About Medical School? Start Here.

Becoming a doctor is a step-by-step journey that typically includes completing college coursework (or a degree), getting accepted into medical school, successfully completing your basic sciences and clinical training, and then entering residency. Along the way, you’ll build the knowledge, skills, and clinical experience needed to care for patients with confidence and compassion.
Medical school admissions look at the full picture; your academic performance, prerequisite coursework, and your motivation to pursue medicine. Strong applicants also demonstrate commitment through clinical exposure, volunteering, leadership, and a clear “why medicine” story. At Avalon, our admissions team supports students through the process and helps them understand exactly what’s needed to take the next step.
Accreditation matters because it helps confirm that a medical school meets important educational standards. It can impact eligibility for licensing exams, clinical opportunities, and future career pathways. Choosing a medical school with the right accreditation and approvals helps students stay on track toward residency and medical licensure goals.
Medical school is challenging but also exciting, meaningful, and life-changing. Students learn through lectures, labs, exams, and hands-on training while building discipline, time management, and confidence. You’ll be surrounded by peers who share your goals, supported by faculty who want to see you succeed, and preparing every day for the responsibility of patient care.
Students choose Avalon because it offers a supportive learning environment, personalized guidance, and a clear path toward becoming a physician. Avalon focuses on helping students build a strong academic foundation, develop clinical readiness, and stay aligned with the requirements that matter for their future. For many, Avalon is the right combination of opportunity, structure, and support.

Why did we choose Avalon University?

At the Avalon University School of Medicine, you really feel like the experience and learning is tailored to you. Faculty and administration are constantly working directly with us in order to make medical school the best experience it can be. I am constantly impressed by how earnestly our feedback is incorporated into day to day student life at a very affordable tuition fee and with Accredited Medical school.

Avalon University School of Medicine is perhaps the best sense of community in the nation. The modules within the school exemplify this idea not only academically, but also socially, by providing a sense of “home” while on campus with various events.

Choosing where to go to medical school was a challenging and terrifying decision for me. I couldn’t be more thrilled that I chose to go through this journey with Avalon. The faculty here are incredible and become part of your extended island family.

Not to mention, being surrounded by brilliant minds all the time makes a phenomenal impact on your learning. Each day at Avalon you embrace the joys and pains of doctorhood, one step at a time. Even on the days when it feels tougher than usual, Avalon and its amazing professors help their students to reach for the stars and shine. At Avalon, students from all backgrounds come together to celebrate the furthering of medicine and health science.

When I first decided to apply to Avalon University School of Medicine, I was nervous but also excited about what was to come. I was apprehensive of the potential challenges of attending an international medical school, including the dreaded USMLE examinations and the obstacles in securing a residency placement. After spending nearly 1.5 years with Avalon University SOM, I can confidently say that I made the right choice when I decided to join the AUSOM community!

From the very beginning of my admissions process, the administrative team at AUSOM was eager to clarify any doubts or concerns I had with commencing my medical journey. The Avalon University staff and faculty go the extra mile in ensuring their future students are confident in their decision to join their institution. From their extensive profile of accreditations to the endorsement of their residency match lists, there is no doubt that Avalon is the place to be!

The distinguished curriculum at Avalon provides students with a strong foundation in basic sciences, clinical medicine, and practical experience. AUSOM also offers a variety of resources to support student success, including tutoring, academic advising, and student organizations. I was also excited to learn that the students have access to a substantial library and study resources to support their learning. The staff and professors go above and beyond in ensuring their students are prepared for a future in the healthcare profession. The faculty is friendly, approachable, and constant in their support of their students: from premed, to the USMLE exam, to the end of their residency training!

My time spent as a part of the Avalon University School of Medicine community has been phenomenal, and I look forward to the day I can proudly say “I am an AUSOM graduate!”

I am in my second semester here at Avalon, and it has been an incredible journey thus far. As a Canadian student who did all of my schooling in Ontario, it was a bit intimidating deciding to travel to an international school to continue my education. The process of immigration and moving overseas was daunting. Avalon has incredible staff who walk you through every step of the process and ensure that you have everything you need prior to even stepping foot on the island. The people here are very welcoming and friendly, and it is not difficult to find help wherever you need it.

The instructors are fantastic and are truly available to support and guide you through the courses. With the small class sizes, it is very difficult to feel forgotten, unsupported, or like you are just a number. We have an incredible student government (SGA) that plans amazing events for all of the students, providing a great opportunity to get to know each other and just de-stress from the intensity of medical school for a moment. “Medical education is not just a program for building knowledge and skills in its recipients… it is also an experience which creates attitudes and expectations.” – Abraham Flexner. Avalon holds their medical students to the highest standard, setting clear expectations and providing them with the knowledge and the skills that they need to be successful and achieve their goals.
