About UHSA

• The University of Health Sciences Antigua campus
  is in Dowhill, Antigua. UHSA's School of Medicine
  and Macedonia School of Nursing both have a
  distinguished history of providing a vigorous
  education to students of high academic potential
  since 1982.
• UHSA has initiatives not found in many of the
  other schools in our region. Our curriculum is
  organ system based and allows for an integrated
  approach to teaching and learning during the
  basic science years, similar to most U.S.
  schools. This method of teaching allows for
  learning in small groups, independent study and
  the early integration of clinical experiences.
• UHSA is one of only a few medical schools in the
  Caribbean that has a Standardized
  Patient/Clinical skills unit. UHSA students begin
  an exposure to standardized, trained patients
  from day one. Students also participate in early
  clinical experiences on the island through the
  government health system of Antigua. Also, UHSA
  operates a student involved clinic, The Free
  Clinic at English Harbour. At the Free Clinic,
  students have an opportunity to serve the
  community while gaining valuable leadership and
  clinical experience. UHSA students are also
  involved in research.
