VISITOR POLL

Welcome to the USESOM website. Please take a moment and tell us why you are here by taking this live poll!

The University of Sint Eustatius School of Medicine invites you to discover your future: fulfillment of a dream to practice as a medical doctor. This occurs on the Caribbean island of Sint Eustatius, locally known as Statia.

Committing oneself to study medicine at a foreign medical school in a remote Caribbean locale presents special challenges, particularly to those considering a change in career. Nevertheless, for those bearing strong character and intellect with the intense desire to provide service to those in need, the experience is educationally, socially, and professionally enriching.

To those seeking such enrichments, the University of Sint Eustatius School of Medicine bids you welcome, and invites you to explore the Statia Experience for yourself.
