Academic & Career Counseling
Our faculty and Deans provide academic and career counseling every step of the way. You will receive advice and guidance that will support you as you navigate through medical school.
Financial Counseling
Grants and scholarships are available for those students who excel academically or are facing financial hardship. We offer payment plan options and various incentives for those who perform well academically.
Mentorship
We have several forms of mentorship at Avalon. In peer tutoring, each student is assigned to a faculty member who will counsel them during the basic sciences. The faculty member will also serve as a career counselor and help guide the students during each semester. Additionally, there is a student-to-student mentorship program where students in the “upper-class” will be assigned to the students that are just beginning their education at Avalon. In the student-to-student mentorship program, students will receive tips, along with advice and guidance, to help them be successful during the basic sciences.
Webinars
There are webinars conducted by our Dean of School of Medicine, Dean of Clinical Sciences, and Associate Dean of Postgraduate Education throughout the year. The material provided during these webinars encompasses information on various topics, such as how to be better prepared for residency, tips on preparing for the medical licensing exams, what to expect during clinical rotations, and many more topics.
ER & Doctor Visit
We are partnered with a local practicing physician that serves as the doctor for Avalon students, faculty, and staff. If there is a circumstance where a student may require medical care, we will coordinate with the doctor and provide transportation to and from the appointments made.
Mental Health Counseling
We have an arrangement with a board-certified Psychologist, and for the students that may have a difficult time with the stresses of medical school, can receive confidential counseling. The school psychologist can help find solutions to any problems in order to be successful during medical school.
Immigration
Once a student is accepted into Avalon, we will assist all students in obtaining their travel visa to Curacao. Once in Curacao, transportation is provided to the immigration office for the new students to complete the necessary procedures in obtaining their resident permits.
Airport Pickup
An Avalon representative will pick up all new students once they arrive in Curacao.
