If\u00a0you dream of earning a\u00a0medical degree<\/a>,\u00a0you have probably contemplated the cost of such a degree on more than one\u00a0occasion. The price tag associated with medical school can be steep,\u00a0particularly if you attend some of the schools in\u00a0the U.S. and Canada. In fact,\u00a0you might even have thought of abandoning your dream because the expenses are\u00a0so high.<\/p>\n

If\u00a0you dream of earning a\u00a0medical degree<\/a>,\u00a0you have probably contemplated the cost of such a degree on more than one\u00a0occasion. The price tag associated with medical school can be steep,\u00a0particularly if you attend some of the schools in the U.S. and Canada. In fact,\u00a0you might even have thought of abandoning your dream because the expenses are\u00a0so high.
\nFortunately,\u00a0Windsor University School of Medicine (WUSOM) provides a cost effective\u00a0alternative to the high-priced medical schools you might already have explored.\u00a0WUSOM\u2019s fees are very reasonable, but you will not compromise your education\u00a0for the lower costs. We are an\u00a0accredited<\/a>\u00a0and an affordable Caribbean medical school, making us the obvious choice for\u00a0applicants throughout the Nation, from Ottawa to Dallas to San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Medical\u00a0Schools: Comparing the Costs<\/strong>
\nIf\u00a0you seek evidence that WUSOM is the more affordable option, you need only do a\u00a0little research. Our Caribbean medical school is clearly the best choice for\u00a0students who desire a world-class medical education that they can afford.\u00a0Here\u00a0is a basic\u00a0breakdown\u00a0of fees<\/a>\u00a0across the board:<\/p>\n

Tuition<\/strong>
\nThe\u00a0tuition at some Canadian and U.S. medical schools could put you in debt for\u00a0decades. This is not so when you are a student at WUSOM. The tuition fees per\u00a0semester at WUSOM are currently as follows: $3,990 for the pre\u00a0medical\u00a0program; $4,990 for the\u00a0basic sciences\u00a0program<\/a>\u00a0MD 1-4, and $6,490 for MD 5; and $6,490 for the\u00a0clinical\u00a0sciences program<\/a>\u00a0MD 6-10. Compare those fees to the average\u00a0cost for the first year of medical school in Canada ($12,959) or the U.S. (an\u00a0average of $28,719 per year as of a few years ago), and of course, the fees go\u00a0up after the first year.<\/p>\n

Textbooks<\/strong>
\nAt WUSOM, textbooks may be rented at the\u00a0school library<\/a>. You\u00a0can pay a refundable deposit of $100 for the pre-med program and $300 for the\u00a0basic sciences program. Compare that to the ever-rising cost of college\u00a0textbooks in the U.S. (an 812 percent increase from 1978 to 2014). As of 2016,\u00a0college students surveyed in the U.S. and Canada reported paying an average of $602\u00a0yearly for rented and purchased materials.
\nOther<\/strong>
\nFees \u2013 Medical school fees\u00a0do not stop after tuition and\u00a0textbooks, of course. You will also be responsible for such costs as lab fees\u00a0and exam fees. At WUSOM, your semester ending exam fees will range from $100 to\u00a0$400 depending on the program. The clinical skills exam fees for a well-known\u00a0U.S. medical school, Tulane University, ranged from $500 to $1,885 for the\u00a02017-2018 semesters. One exam fee for the University of British Columbia\u00a0Medical Program was $700. Lab fees are another expected cost for medical school\u00a0students. The lab fee for the basic sciences program at WUSOM is $250. Lab fees\u00a0for the University of Nebraska College of Medicine, for example, begin at $911.\u00a0The\u00a0lab costs at the University of British Columbia Medical Program run a total\u00a0of $765.<\/p>\n
