President Ravi Bhooplapur is pleased to announce that on July 17th, 2020, the New York Board of Regents voted to approve Xavier University School of Medicine Aruba to place students in long-term clinical clerkship in New York State for 7 years. This is the longest term of approval that can be given to an International Medical School.
New York State Education Department approval allows:
• Xavier graduates to enter residency training in New York • Xavier students to complete all 72 weeks of clinical training in New York teaching hospitals This great achievement makes Xavier as only one of seven Caribbean Medical Schools to be approved by New York State Education Department. Xavier is ranked as a top ten medical school in the Caribbean by Money Inc. Magazine in 2018 and has a 96% USMLE first time passing rate. Under the leadership of Chancellor Dr. JG Bhat and Chairman of the Board Mr. Edwin Casey and Chief Academic Officer Dr. Arun Dubey, Xavier University School of Medicine Aruba is committed to providing high quality affordable medical education to everyone. President Bhooplapur wants to thank the Board of Trustees for their unwavering support and the entire academic team for their tireless work in achieving this great accomplishment. Along with approval from New York State Education Department, Xavier University School of Medicine Aruba is one a few schools to hold full accreditation from both ACCM and CAAM-HP. The United States Department of Education, through its National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation (NCFMEA), recognize both ACCM and CAAM-HP as approved accrediting bodies.
