 Eligibility for U.S. residency programs recognized by the Accreditation

Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires Caribbean
medical school students to obtain a certificate from the ECFMG.
Certificate eligibility depends on whether a school is listed in the
Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and
Researchs (FAIMER) International Medical Education Directory
(IMED).

AUSOM is currently listed in this publication. Medical schools are listed in

FAIMERs IMED when they receive recognition by the appropriate local
agency within their country.
AUSOM is also recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and
can be found in their most recent World Directory of Medical Schools.
The WHO is an agency of the United Nations that serves to help coordinate
and monitor international medical education programs.

 The WHO recognizes a medical school if it is deemed an appropriate

education or training institution for healthcare workers. With these
accreditations AUSOM graduates are able to obtain positions in U.S.
and Canadian Residency Programs.
Also, AUSOM is listed with the Medical Council of India. Being an MCI
approved Caribbean medical school, AUSOM graduates are eligible to
practice medicine in India.
At Avalon University School of Medicine, our goal is to ensure that
students and graduates of the medical school program are prepared
and successful in all aspects of their medical career endeavors.
The faculty at Avalon University provides a unique and modern
