It has its' own campus and building.. owned by the ********s. check out the WHO, IMED/FAIMER website.. for the schools and locations; There is a link on the ECFMG site also re: the schools and locations.. and information about them.

mmmm..I don't know...the website talks about the school being on the country of belize...click on the website yourself and you'll see.

so there's a MUA-Belize and then MUA on the island of NEVIS? didn't realize two different schools existed. can't people think of unique names for schools these days? like the best medical school of the entire world? oops my bad, that's already been taken by SMU

Seems to be taken...All Saints University..pretty original, they covered each and every Saint out there. I wonder what the Vatican thinks about this.

I do know that Students from St. Luke's are applying to MUA for admission, and to be honest, I do not know the details of their closing their doors in Belize (meaning that they closed their campus in Belize). I also talked to one of their students who was very close to completing, and is trying to get his credits transferred and was placing his application with MUA. One of the professors (she taught Biochemistry) came to our school two semesters ago to teach after St. Luke's closed the campus.

In regards to MUA, the Belize campus was a branch of the Nevis campus; we now have our own charter. The campus and land is also owned by the ********s. It is one of the few campuses where it is owned and not rented;

And by the way.. did you know that St. Matthew's University (SMU) was in Belize before going to Cayman's Islands? It was co-owned by the ********s, and was a great success before Cayman. And now, the ********s are making MUA Belize a success... so if you want to be a success, need to go with the people who are successful...

ah, thanks for the clarification. good to luck to MUA Belize. may it attain some of the success of SMU.


well, it seems all the offshore schools are connected somehow. apparently, people and admin move throughout the various schoos frequently. I just always find that interesting....

Thanks for all the information and for the interesting discussion. I guess I was hoping to see if there was any first year students that are in this school that can give some compliments to this university.

I'm a current Hope Medical instute (HMI)student (NOT the Hope University of belize). But Watch out for Hope Medical instutie (HMI) they are loc. in Vargina, but they are not the medical school, they are only an agency w/ contracts w/ med schools in poland. And believe you me, if i had another chance at it, this would not be the one i'd do. If you have a chance of anyother school be it whereever,.. even mars... consider it b4 you sign a contract w/ hope. It's like signing a contract w/ the devil. I've signed it so i have to stick it out. But just counting down my days. But i can tell you one don't just pick hope just caz you think you have so so grades, there are a lot more schools out there ready to take you. I wish i could write you up a list. here are some that i would consider. St. Mattews, MUA, SAbA, SPARTAN. There are many others in europe but i don't have names. But look around on the web. Hope doesn't have contacts w/ all of them. And there are ones out there that teach in english. and it's really cheap too. and i've learned that you can still get fed. aid for loans for those schools also.

GOOD LUCK!!!!
