Prospective students must have completed prerequisite courses in science, English, and mathematics to qualify.

The program includes 5 semesters of basic science coursework at the Guyana campus and 4 semesters of clinical science coursework, which can be completed either in Guyana or the USA.

This program includes one year of advanced science coursework, equivalent to 90 credit hours of college-level coursework, followed by basic science and clinical science coursework.
Premed Program
The combined premed plus MD program is a 5.5-year MD pathway designed for students who have completed the necessary coursework in the Caribbean CSEC, British ‘O’ level, secondary education from African countries, or a high school diploma from the US or Canada. This program offers college-level science and other required courses, enabling students to accelerate their career plans by completing all medical prerequisite courses in three semesters over 18 months.
