Hello folks,

For all of you NRI students that are trying to get into medical school, here’s good news. Kasturba Medical College International Center, India has tied up with the American University of Antigua (AUA) College of Medicine to offer various courses in medicine.The purpose of the training at AUA is to prepare students to pass the US medical licensing examinations (USMLE). Students begin their clinical experience during their 1st semester at a local general Hospital in St. Johns, Antigua, and clinical rotations are completed at US teaching hospitals.

This basically allows a student to finish the first few semesters in Manipal and the rest at Antigua. This is the only college in the Caribbean that will help you achieve your goal of becoming a US physician.
Hope this info was useful. You can always google american university of antigua or kasturba medical school

Well, I have been doing some research on this college and found out that the standard of medical education that AUA or KMCIC provides is equal to the highest U.S medical education standards. They ensure high quality training to their students that helps them qualify the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam. I have further confirmed this from the students of the colleges too (unfortunately, I haven't come across any student of the college on this site so wouldn't be able to give you anyone's id).

In fact, I guess what you can do to know more about the college is attend their informational seminar that will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York on 12 July 2008. There you can speak to the admission representatives, students and faculty too
