With a growing number of Indian students aspiring to pursue medical education and careers in the United States, Canada, and beyond, Xavier University School of Medicine, Aruba (XUSOM), in collaboration with KLE University, India, has launched a unique international medical pathway to support this ambition.
This innovative programme allows students to begin their medical journey in India at KLE University’s Belgaum campus, continue with their preclinical sciences education at XUSOM, and then complete clinical rotations at Xavier’s affiliated and accredited teaching hospitals across the United States.
Students will spend the first year completing pre-health coursework at KLE’s campus in Belgaum. They will then advance to Xavier’s state-of-the-art campus in Aruba for basic science training before transitioning to hands-on clinical experiences in the United States. By starting their studies at KLE and transitioning smoothly to Xavier University in Aruba, students benefit from a unique and accessible pathway to a global medical career.
Designed specifically for high school graduates and aspiring doctors aiming to practice in North America, this programme offers a seamless, structured path to meet the rigorous standards required for medical licensure in the US and Canada.
"This collaboration brings together a globally aligned medical curriculum taught by experienced and highly qualified faculty, ensuring students gain the knowledge, skills, and international exposure needed to excel in today’s competitive medical field," said Dr Arun Kumar Dubey, Chief Academic Officer of XUSOM.
