The Doctor of Medicine (MD) program at American University of Integrative Sciences is a 4 year program. The first two years of the four-year MD program concentrate on the traditional basic science disciplines on our campus in Barbados. The final two years focus on clinical sciences, with training at AUIS’s affiliated hospitals and clinical centers in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.

Student Health Insurance Requirements: All AUIS students are required to maintain adequate health insurance coverage that extends throughout Semesters 1-4 of Basic Sciences in Barbados and during the FCM course and Clinical Clerkships (MD Years 3-4) in the United States without interruption.
Barbados – Students who pay the Basic Sciences tuition receive free evacuation insurance in the event a student must be flown off the island for treatment. This coverage lasts for each semester the student is in and expires at the end of the month during their last semester on the island. Foreign country health insurance coverage for major sickness and accidents is the responsibility of the student.
United States – Students are required to maintain US health insurance with coverage during the Fundamentals of Clinical Medicine and Advanced Clinical Medicine Programs; and all Clinical Clerkships.
No students may start the Basic Science program or register for Clinical Clerkships until proof of health insurance has been submitted. |
