American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (AUC) offers a Graduate Entry Medicine programme, so you’ll need to hold a bachelor’s degree with a strong science background in order to apply. Non-US applicants will need to take an admissions test that can be the MCAT, UCAT, NEET/UG, or GAMSAT.

Some Caribbean Medical Schools will specify that you need a certain number of credits from specific subjects when you were earning your bachelor’s degree, while others will be more flexible.
For example, a bachelor’s degree with a strong science background is an AUC prerequisite. Students must have two semesters (eight credit hours, including laboratory) each of college biology and general chemistry. Applicants must also have two semesters of organic chemistry or biochemistry and one semester of either general physics, calculus, or statistics. On the other hand, AUA is more flexible with its entry requirements for US applicants.
