AUC Undergraduate Entry 5 Year Medical Doctor Degree Program
AUC offers an innovative and exciting pathway to a medical degree through a partnership with the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan). This degree track is open to qualified non-US citizen students who do not yet hold a Bachelor’s degree who seek an accelerated pathway to completing their medical education.
Students begin by earning a BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences, which is an accelerated two-year program offered by UCLan in Burnley, UK that provides a unique opportunity to gain a scientific degree which is embedded within a clinically-focused curriculum. Students will learn how the systems of the body work together to maintain normal function in health, and how pathological processes disrupt these systems. The BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences has been recognized by AUC as granting equivalent credit for the first two semesters of its own five-semester medical sciences curriculum.
Students who successfully complete the BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences degree at 2.1 or above have the option then to remain in the UK or move to Sint Maarten to complete the remainder of the medical sciences portion of the medical degree program, beginning with AUC’s third semester. Students who remain in the UK will have the opportunity to earn a Post Graduate Diploma in International Medical Sciences from UCLan, which AUC recognizes as equivalent to its own medical sciences curriculum. This is an added benefit built in to this innovative and accelerated track.
Following completion of the medical sciences curriculum, students must take and pass United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1, which is required for progression to the clinical sciences portion of the medical degree program. During the final two years of the medical degree program, students complete clinical clerkship rotations in the wide network of AUC-affiliated teaching hospitals.
