MUA Student Experience

I personally chose MUA because it was an accelerated program, which I feel helps students to prepare for the pressure and stress we might face as doctors.

My professors at MUA were really perfect and I was super prepared for my clinical rotations. I felt so secure in the knowledge that I had from my basic sciences work.

I chose MUA for the small class sizes, it was more affordable than the other Caribbean schools and the guidance and mentorship I received from professors were very valuable.
