UMHS is fully accredited by the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM)— one of the highest standards of accreditation an offshore medical school can obtain. Our accreditation through ACCM is recognized by ECFMG and the U.S. Department of Education through NCFMEA.

UMHS understands the importance of having its programs accredited so that our students may be eligible to sit for the United States Medical Licensing Examinations (USMLE) and apply for certification from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). This certification is required for international and Caribbean medical school graduates to obtain residencies and licensing to practice medicine in the United States.
