SABA University
School of Medicine began in 1986 as a combined project between
the island government of Saba and a group of medical educators
from the United States. This medical consortium spent several
years examining medical school curricula throughout the United
States and Europe before adopting a basic science and clinical
curriculum comparable to some of the finest medical schools.
SABA University was approved by the Federal Government of the
Netherlands-Antilles in 1988 and an official charter was granted
in 1989. SABA University School of Medicine is listed by the
World Health Organization.

SABA
University School of Medicine is a nonprofit foundation that
was established to provide a comprehensive basic science and
clinical medicine education leading to completion of a Doctor
of Medicine degree. Enrollment is open to all persons regardless
of race, national origin, religion, sex, or age, who wish to
devote the extensive time and effort necessary to practice medicine.
As the cost of medical education increases and training institutions
limit the number of applicants, SABA University School of Medicine
fulfills a vital need by offering individuals throughout the
world a chance to pursue their dream of a medical career. The
curriculum incorporates standards of academic and clinical instruction,
which parallel those US and Canadian medical schools. This curriculum
has resulted in an excellent residency placement rate at ACGME
accredited residencies. All classes are taught in English by
experienced medical educators from the United States and abroad. |
