The Basic Sciences
program takes place during 15-week terms on the island of Sint Eustatius.
Summer and winter breaks are short by U.S. standards, permitting
three academic terms each calendar year.
Students have the option of completing their 5th semester in the United States, which further
reduces students’ total time away from their home country.
The Basic Sciences curriculum consists of training in multiple
disciplines taught in a 5-term format. Courses are typically taught
in double 45-minute blocks, three to five times per week. Training in
some disciplines spans two terms.
For students needing extra preparation for the Basic Sciences
program, the University offers an extended program involving an extra
4-month term of pre-basic sciences coursework (e.g., medical physics,
chemistry in medicine). To optimize learning, the courses in the
extra term are taught in an integrated, clinically-relevant fashion.
