Because Saba University operates on a year round, 3-semester schedule, there are three entry points for new students every year—you can begin your medical studies at Saba University in September, January or May. For that reason, we accept applications throughout the year.
The 3-semester schedule not only makes it more convenient to get started, it also allows you to complete your studies more quickly. There is no long Summer break--just two-or three-week intervals between each semester. That means you will complete your five semesters of Basic Sciences in 20 months, and return home to do your clinical rotations at ACGME-approved teaching hospitals in the U.S. and Canada that are affiliated with Saba University.
Applicants are encouraged to submit their documents early—generally six to 12 months in advance and to ensure that their files are complete for consideration at least three months prior to the trimester of their first choice. Since the number of students in each class is limited, and the application pool competitive, the early applicants will have a better chance of securing a place in the semester of their choice.
