Medical University of the Americas (MUA) was founded over 20 years ago on a philosophy of education that believes students are best taught medicine in small classes, with one-on-one instruction, and with a commitment to providing an education on par with U.S. and Canadian medical schools. Today MUA continues to adhere to those founding principles and has earned a reputation for academic excellence - and graduate success - that has made it a leader among international medical schools. At MUA, we put our students at the center of everything we do. From the outset, our dedicated faculty prepares you for the USMLE Step 1 and provides you with all the tools necessary to pass with excellent results and earn top residency in the U.S. and Canada. Our outstanding 98% USMLE Step 1 first-time pass rate (2020), is a testament to our incredible teaching standards and student support. MUA models its curriculum on U.S. and Canadian medical schools and focuses on teaching students in small classes, to ensure one-on-one time with their professors. MUA has a 7:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Our program offers learning experiences you will not find at big international medical schools. For example, MUA’s first-semester anatomy class includes dissection of cadavers, as at many U.S. medical schools, giving you early hands-on training, you will not get at the bigger schools. MUA also offers a special research module that teaches you critical analytical skills you will need throughout your medical career to evaluate and assimilate scientific evidence and continually expand your knowledge. At MUA, we will help you complete your journey towards becoming a doctor and supporting you along the way. Download our app and find out why MUA is right for you.
