Manipal’s AUA, College of Medicine’s Pre-Med Prog to begin at Karnataka campus

The current batch of this two-year Pre-med programme on the campus of Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Karnataka will begin from October 10, 2022

Manipal’s AUA’s Pre-Med to MD programme allows global medical aspirants to start their medical education at Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Karnataka, India, and finish with clinical rotations in the USA/UK/Canada with graduates participating in over 700 residency programs in the US alone.

American University of Antigua (AUA) and American International College of Arts & Sciences–Antigua (AICASA) are fully owned by the Manipal Education & Medical Group. AICASA’s two-year pre-med program boasts of a curriculum that provides a comprehensive approach to premedical training which emphasises the development of critical thinking skills that creates the foundation of the 6.5 years of Pre-med to MD programme.

Manipal’s AUA now announces the commencement of the current batch of this two-year Pre-med programme on the campus of Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Karnataka from October 10, 2022. With a campus spread over 313 acres of what once used to be a desolate plateau of hard, laterite rock in north Karnataka’s Udupi district, it is home to almost 30,000 students and staff and is Wi-Fi enabled from end-to-end – classrooms, labs, libraries, hostel rooms, gymnasiums, restaurants, etc. Students aspiring to pursue a medical degree in the US can now start their journey from India right after the completion of senior high school, in the Manipal campus, Karnataka, India. The selection process deems the senior high school graduates from English medium instruction, with a score of 65 per cent and above in the mandatory subjects of physics, chemistry and biology eligible to apply for this programme. The applications are closing soon for the current batch of aspiring doctors.

The Pre-Med to MD program is a 6.5 years programme designed for high school graduates and non-traditional students who are all set to pursue an international career in medicine. They complete the first two years of this programme on the campus of Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Karnataka. These students then move to the Manipal’s American University of Antigua, College of Medicine to complete the next 4.5 years: 2.5 years of pre-clinical sciences in the state-of-the-art campus in Antigua, the remaining two years of clinical rotations across the US, the UK and Canada. The outcomes assure AUA graduates’ residency placement or other gainful employment.

Manipal’s American University of Antigua (AUA), College of Medicine has carved its niche as an innovative medical school dedicated to addressing the projected shortage of physicians. In a brief span, the university has become one of the few to get prestigious accreditations.

Because of these recognitions, AUA graduates are eligible for residency and licensure throughout the US, the UK and Canada.

“We have seen an increasing number of applicants from India who are choosing Manipal AUA’s medical program to realize their dream of becoming a practising doctor in Western Countries. We invite these aspirants to apply for the Manipal intake that begins in October 2022. After spending two years in Manipal, the students then transfer to Antigua to continue with their medical programme,” says Mamta Purbey, Executive Director of Enrollment Management & Institutional Analytics, Manipal’s American University of Antigua.
