Picture Yourself as a Successful Resident with MUA

After attending a large university for my undergraduate degree, I knew I learnt best in smaller group settings, so I chose MUA for the small class sizes and working 1:1 with the professors.

The building block nature of the curriculum allows you to see the theory you study come to fruition in later courses when relating it to clinical scenarios and it promotes collaboration and hands-on learning.

I chose MUA due to their small class sizes as I did not want to be just another number but rather someone that my professors knew and because of their low cost of tuition relative to other Caribbean medical schools.
