Cutting Edge and Affordable Medical School in St. Kitts

WUSOM, one of the top Caribbean medical schools, stands out for its affordable tuition, accreditation, and proven track record of producing successful graduates. With a strong emphasis on academic excellence and medical training, WUSOM offers a supportive learning environment and access to U.S.-based clinical clerkships.

Yes. WUSOM is officially accredited by the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and other Health Professions (CAAM-HP), the legally constituted body established to accredit medical programs in the Caribbean. CAAM-HP is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation (NCFMEA) as being comparable to the standards used for medical schools in the United States under LCME governance. Additionally, WUSOM is chartered and licensed by the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis and is fully compliant with the ECFMG 2024 Rule.

Applicants from the United States submit an MCAT score as part of their application. International applicants have more flexibility and can apply with or without MCAT.

The MCAT is only one part of your application. WUSOM follows a holistic admissions approach, which means every candidate is evaluated as a whole person rather than by a single number. The admissions committee looks at your academic performance, work, volunteer or research experience, letters of recommendation, and personal essay.

If you have questions about how your background fits, our admissions team is happy to help. Start your application today.

WUSOM integrates high-yield, clinically relevant basic science curricula, team-based learning (TBL), and dedicated faculty-led review sessions (including structured coaching by clinical and academic mentors) to prepare students for board examinations. Prior to entering clinical clerkships, students must pass the NBME Comprehensive Basic Science Examination (CBSE). Upon approval, the school sponsors eligible students to take USMLE Step 1.

Formerly known as the premedical program, WUSOM’s academic affiliate network and pre-med pathways provide students with a supportive on-ramp to build academic readiness, foundational scientific knowledge, and clinical familiarity before seamlessly transitioning into the four-year MD program on the St. Kitts campus.

You shouldn’t move across the world for a place you’ve only seen in brochures.

So, start with the virtual tour. Walk through the Pre-Clinical Sciences Simulation Learning Center, with its mock-patient examination rooms, where you’ll take your first history and practice your first exam. Step into the small group discussion spaces, where the real learning happens. All of it from wherever you are.

Then ask yourself: Can I picture myself here?

If you’d rather feel the place under your feet, visit in person. Contact the U.S. Information Office or our admissions team at usadmin@windsor.edu or admin@windsor.edu, and we’ll schedule your campus visit.
