WELCOME TO THE MD PROGRAM AT THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF MONTSERRAT

​

The Faculty at American University Montserrat is comprised of MDs and PhDs trained in the USA, Canada, UK, Indian subcontinent, and Africa.

Their collective experience in medical education, research, and clinical practice contributes significantly to the [AUM] educational experience.

It is through the University's integration of both its teaching and clinical experiences that keep its students at the forefront of medical advances.

Additionally, a low student-teacher ratio enables the [AUM] to extend a stronger, empowering learning and study focus. The University is committed to attain and upkeep the highest levels of accreditation while keeping affordability in mind.

YourStory

If you are like most doctors, you very likely have wanted to be a doctor since grade school. We are a special breed - motivated, ambitious, generous, disciplined and curious.

​

The makings of a top-rated medical school also have unique qualities in common. The American University of Montserrat has those qualities - we made sure of that.

Our newly acquired Charter required our faculty team to gather, organize, refine, review & commit to a faculty that would reflect its newborn foundation. After all, this is 2022! New medical schools are no longer created in these times.

​

So here are these qualities that every student should look for in a top, fresh, contemporary medical school:

​

WHOLE HEALING PATIENTS

Students are coached from the start to see their patients as a whole. All facets of a patient's life must be integrated in the future doctor's medical treatment plans. At the AUM we guide our students from the outset of their internship to pay attention to their patients' histories, develop good communication skills with them & in the end always treat the patient as a whole, as opposed to treating a myopic list of symptoms.

​

IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE

Students should acquire a deep, detailed knowledge of the human body & medicine in order to become the best in diagnostic medicine & recognizing the patient as a whole person. Our focus is to allow for the review & understanding of all these details necessary to remember long-term.

​

MD'S + PHD'S

All top medical schools must nurture the inquisitive minds of the scientist. Research is a priority for our graduates. At the AUM we begin with a solid education on research sciences & then follow through with some prospective guidance during the future doctors' clinical training. Our network integration of research specialists is a community we make available to future graduates in order to continue with graduate & post-graduate medical research.

​

THE GOOD DOCTOR LISTENS + UNDERSTANDS

Medical schools must be sensitized to the teachings of kindness & empathy. Both our academic and clinical faculty work with each student to develop this sensitivity themselves in recognizing these important attributes & integrate them heavily in their future practices.

​

RESPONSIBLE OPERATIONS

The cost of tuition must not be prioritized when weighed against more important virtues such as the value & importance of a high quality teaching experience for each individual student. The AUM keeps this in focus & carefully audits its own operation costs. This will extend to optimize the value to tuition costs benefit, extending to the students' benefits.

SMART LABS FOR SMART MEDICAL STUDENTS

Modern medicine relies heavily on laboratory services when examining & diagnosing patients. From the start of a medical student's education, it is important to access the best of medical laboratory equipment. The AUM teaches laboratory diagnosis, trains & provides accessibility to the best medical lab equipment from our students' early stages of academic programs right to the end of their clinical placements in Chicago & abroad.

​

AUM COMMUNITY + FAMILY

Medical schools of today must become an all-inclusive community of doctors, deans, support team, professors & students. This community must also be defined by mutual respect for all diversities of life. The AUM is very passionate about this mission. We also insist that our students' family support network get involved with our deans and visit our campus during the entire curriculum from start to finish & beyond. It also goes without saying that our priority is to make sure each student is handling the arduous curriculum. We always prioritize our student assistance program in order to ease the pain of what happens to be the world's most difficult higher education degree.
