Graduate Testimonials

Yamil E. Vélez Román

"I chose MUA for three reasons: (1) A great curriculum that can compete with the top universities, (2) more active learning in the classrooms including great one-on-one learning from your professors and (3) amongst all the top universities in the Caribbean, MUA has the lowest cost."

Caitlyn Young

"I had family ties to MUA which made me look further into the school and once I learned more about what the school offered I knew it was the place for me."

Julian Jinadasa

"The small class sizes and the location of the school in Nevis made it a better option for me compared to other Caribbean medical schools."

Commencement Ceremony Class of 2020-2023

On June 9, 2023, Medical University of the Americas held a joint commencement ceremony with Saba University School of Medicine and St. Matthew’s University at The Vets in Providence, Rhode Island. This joint celebration was the first of its kind, signifying the close collaboration between the three institutions. 

The keynote speaker at the ceremony was Dr. Dante Morra, Chief of Staff at Trillium Health Partners and President of THP Solutions, who gave a speech encouraging graduates to use their education and skills to improve healthcare for their communities.

With a total of nearly 1,000 students graduating from the three universities, it was a joyous occasion combining unity, inspiration, and hope for the future of medicine.
