Cert in Clinical Sciences Program

The Clinical Sciences Program at the American University of Barbados places students into supervised clinical rotations lasting a total of seventy-two weeks, split between forty-eight weeks of core rotations and twenty-four weeks of elective placements. Training takes place at the school's partner hospitals and specialized clinical sites across the United States and the Caribbean, where students rotate through a range of medical specialties and sub-specialties under direct physician supervision. Because students already begin hands-on training in their first semester of the Doctor of Medicine program, this rotation phase builds on skills they have already started to develop. Supervising clinical faculty work with each student individually, helping them grow more confident in examining patients, interpreting diagnostic findings, and reasoning through clinical problems while directly involved in patient care at hospitals such as those in the Chicago and Baltimore regions.
