All Saints University of Medicine is chartered by the Government of the Island Republic of Aruba. ASUM will provide highly qualified, compassionate and efficient medical doctors with strong ethical backgrounds.

As a first step, ASUM will endeavor to increase the range of programs available. Plans are in place to expand the campus to include research and fitness facilities. The campus will be fully equipped with state of the art equipment, laboratories and research facilities to provide a conductive learning experience for our students. Student accommodations are currently provided by affiliated student housing complexes until our provision of a future dorm on campus. We conduct fully accredited degree programs with competent faculty and innovative facilities, to provide a solid medical foundation and to enable students to obtain license to practice medicine in US, Canada, UK or any other member country of the United Nations. These are just parts of the multimillion dollar expansion project which is to be carried out by ASUM in the near future.
