Admission Process

IAU has a trimester system with classes starting in January, May and September. Typically school starts on the first Monday of these months. We accept 30 students per semester and have a rolling admissions system. Students may apply for admission to the program at any time throughout the year. Early applications are encouraged as we follow a first come first serve policy.

The Office of Admissions is dedicated to provide ample support to applicants to our program. We will ensure that all your questions about our basic sciences and clinical programs are answered. We will also help you understand Residency and Licensure requirements in the US and we look forward to speaking with each one of our applicants.

Applications will be processed within 24 hours of receipt of all supplementary documents and payment of application fees. If you meet our requirements, a personal interview will be scheduled. Usually interview schedules are done one week in advance. After the completion of the personal interview, the Admissions Committee will inform you of their decision within 48 hours. You will receive a letter of acceptance in the mail within the next week. The candidate must respond to the offer of admissions within 14 days or default the opportunity to the next qualified candidate in line.

We strongly recommend that you visit our campus in St. Lucia. We offer a Flight Reimbursement Program for students planning to visit the island. Please contact our Office of Student Services at 1-888-440-4474 for more information. Visiting St. Lucia will help gain better understanding of the Caribbean environment, tour our facilities on campus, meet with current students and faculty, attend a lecture or lab and even choose housing for your intended semester of study
