The PGDip in International Medical Sciences will see you work towards the required United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 qualification. The course stretches over four years (160 weeks) with the first two years focusing on medical sciences and how to integrate your learning with your clinical practice. Youll secure your PGDip in International Medical Sciences before continuing on to your final two years of education in clinical sciences. The PGDip is delivered in partnership with the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (AUC) and is recognised as equivalent to the AUC medical sciences curriculum. You can complete your clinical clerkship rotations in the wide network of AUC-affiliated teaching hospitals in both the UK and the US. Build a course portfolio evidencing your progressive development as a medical practitioner and professional. Its a great way of demonstrating, both to yourself and others, that you are achieving your learning outcomes and reflecting on your progress.
