A rewarding program for those who have no reservations about the career path they've chosen. Four semesters of focused Pre-Medical studies will fully prepare you for your Pre-Clinical studies at Xavier University School of Medicine at Aruba.

Our typical high school graduates tend to be prepared for residency before the age of 23. As a matter of fact, most of the students in this program are thankful because of the number of years they saved by not having to secure their position as a medical student with a bachelors or a masters degree.

Your pre-med courses done at XUSOM at Aruba will allow you to remain a qualified candidate for medical licensure.
