Why Avalon University is the best choice for
Canadian students!

At Avalon University School of Medicine, we believe quality medical education should be accessible and lead you home. That’s why we offer Canadian students an affordable, internationally recognized MD program designed with your future in mind—supporting your journey from our classrooms to clinical training in North America, and ultimately, back to Canada to serve your communities.
We guide you every step of the way—from preparing for Canadian licensing exams (MCCQE) to residency match support—so you’re ready to return not just as a graduate, but as a qualified, compassionate physician.

Affordability

AUSOM offers one of the most affordable accredited medical school options in the Caribbean, with tuition significantly lower than many U.S., Canadian and Caribbean medical schools. This makes it an attractive choice for Canadian students seeking cost-effective medical education abroad.
