New York Medical University Curacao Ranking

There is no proper ranking as far as medical schools/colleges in the Western Hemisphere are concerned. Instead, the “rank” is its affiliations and accreditations; accolades that are achieved only if an institute has fulfilled several quality checks (academic and other).

As the New York Medical University School of Medicine Curacao is closely aligned with the American and British ways of working, it too doesn’t come in any ranking. However, it has been accredited by the WHO, NBA, FAIMER, MCI Recognized as well as the Govt. of Antigua and Barbuda and the Antigua and Barbuda Accreditation Council.

This is the reason MBBS in Caribbean is slowly gaining popularity among medical aspirants worldwide.
