BiL Education Institutions Partnership Agreement

New pathway agreement benefits aspiring physicians in Turkey.

Medical University of the Americas (MUA) and BiL Education Institutions, a private high school in Turkey, are pleased to highlight this new educational pathway agreement. Beneficially, this partnership will provide eligible BiL Education Institutions graduates, who dream of practicing medicine as medical doctors, with direct entry into MUA’s 6-Year BSc/MD Program, which grants both a Bachelor of Science degree and a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree upon successful completion of the program. 

As part of this collaboration, eligible BiL Education Institutions graduates who have successfully completed all required secondary courses (including Biology, Chemistry, Math and English) with a B average, and maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.0 out of 4-point scale (75%) or equivalent, will receive direct entry* into this MUA medical program, where they can achieve their MD degree two years sooner than the traditional four years of undergraduate plus four years of medical school pathway. Participants will also benefit from a streamlined application process, a guaranteed admissions interview and eligibility for up to $27,500 USD in grants and scholarships for the MD program portion. When combined with MUA’s notably cost-effective tuition and fees, this makes an MD education both accessible and affordable for passionate future physicians.

“While offering our students the opportunity to study abroad with a globally recognized medical program, thanks to our partnership with Medical University of the Americas (MUA), we will open a brand new door for them and equip them with 21st century skills to become global citizens,” said BİL Educational Institutions General Manager Elif Pehlevan. 

“We are delighted to collaborate with BiL Education Institutions, a valued partner in helping us extend our mission of making high-quality medical education accessible to more students,” said Dona Rimanishta, Partnerships Coordinator for GUS Medical and Veterinary Schools. “This partnership with MUA will offer students a seamless transition into a globally recognized MD program and guide them on their journey to becoming doctors. We are eager to see these students thrive in our programs and emerge as future physicians.”

Medical University of the Americas attendees benefit from medical instruction and hands-on training from knowledgeable faculty, individualized support from day one through clinical rotations, and a peaceful and safe island setting where students can immerse themselves in their studies. Of particular benefit for the 6-year BSc/MD program participants, pre-med students learn from faculty members who also teach in the MD program, which ensures they receive insights and information that foster sustained academic success. We can’t wait to see what BiL Education Institutions graduates will achieve at MUA and throughout their careers!

*To receive direct entry, BiL Education Institutions graduates must submit an application, submit high school degree graduation diploma and transcripts, satisfactorily complete an interview with the MUA admissions team, and provide two letters of recommendation and a personal statement.
