In light of the current National State of Emergency, UMHS has quickly adapted its basic science program onto a distance learning platform, so that students may begin their medical education while remaining safe in their homes. The University is fully equipped to deliver classes online and maintain the same standard of quality while we work through this temporarily difficult time. When it is deemed safe to return to larger gatherings, students starting their medical studies online will seamlessly transition to our St. Kitts basic science campus.
Through distance learning, you’ll receive the same individual attention from our supportive faculty as you would from being on campus. And once we overcome this global health challenge, you’ll enjoy all of the benefits of living and learning on our state-of-the-art medical campus in St. Kitts, before graduating fully prepared to practice medicine in the United States and Canada.

Thanks to our small class sizes and low student-to-faculty ratio of 8:1, you’ll have ample opportunities to work one-on-one with our experienced, highly credentialed faculty.
Our graduates have obtained premier residency positions in the U.S. and Canada. In fact, nearly 120 of our students matched with their program of choice in our 2018 graduating class.
Some Caribbean medical schools charge an unreasonably high tuition; not us. The tuition at UMHS is purposefully affordable so that you can spend more time thinking about practicing medicine rather than paying debt.

UMHS has one of the most modern campuses in the Caribbean. It was modeled after several leading U.S. medical schools, and is comparable in almost every way – from the cutting-edge anatomy and human simulation labs to the robust library and learning resource center. Equipped with the latest technology, the campus provides an outstanding learning environment for future doctors.
UMHS is fully accredited by the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM), which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education through the National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation (NCFMEA). ACCM has adopted U.S. standards of accreditation both as written and applied. This is one of the highest standards of accreditation an offshore medical school can obtain.
