Admissions
Admission to MERP is limited exclusively to those students who have been granted conditional acceptance to either Ross University School of Medicine (RUSM) or American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (AUC) and then referred to MERP. Students cannot apply directly to MERP. Students applying to either RUSM or AUC will have their files reviewed by the respective school's Admissions Committee as part of the application process.
Curriculum
Students are taught four basic science courses:
- Anatomy/Histology
- Physiology/Biophysics
- Microbiology/Immunology
- Biochemistry/Molecular Biology
These courses are equivalent to four credits each and provide similar content and depth to those taught in the medical school curriculum. Students also can access course materials, supplemental information and their grades through an easily accessible online portal. Three exams account for the majority of the grade in each subject. Weekly quizzes are administered and account for a portion of the grade. Additionally, students are graded on solving integrated clinical cases which are discussed in small groups.
Living in the Bahamas
Freeport is the second largest city in the Bahamas and is known for its commerce and growing development. Many areas of the island are under various stages of construction and the open land mass of the island provides ample opportunity for future growth. Many choose Grand Bahama as a residence because of close proximity to the United States, its natural source of drinking water and because English is the predominant language. Freeport is the only major city on Grand Bahama Island. However, it is surrounded by many native settlements. Grand Bahama Island boasts miles of pristine sandy shores that are never crowded.
