The University of Medicine and Health Sciences - St. Kitts (UMHS) does not accept transfers directly into the third or fourth year Clinical Science Program.  Students that have passed Step 1 and wish to do UMHS Clinical clerkship rotations must pass a modified 5th semester to include the Introduction of Clinical Medicine and review sessions on Basic Science courses.

Transfers into 5th Semester (State approved schools)

Transfers into 5th semester are considered on an individual basis.  Transferring students must take, at a minimum, the UMHS fifth semester curriculum in Portland, Maine.  Students who are lacking satisfactory completion of any basic science courses must retake those courses at the UMHS-St. Kitts basic science campus. 

Undergraduate and medical school transcripts must accompany the UMHS application.  Students may initially provide unofficial transcripts; however, official transcripts from each school or university are required to complete the application process.

Transfers into 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Semesters (All other schools)

Transfers into semester 2, 3, or 4 will be considered on an individual basis.   Any student who transfers into UMHS must have satisfactorily completed all the medical school admissions course requirements and the comparability of all courses taught by UMHS as part of the required curriculum.  

Undergraduate and any medical school transcripts must accompany the UMHS application.  Initially, unofficial transcripts will be accepted; however, official transcripts are required to complete the application process. 

Decisions of the Admissions Committee are made within 72 hours after receipt of a completed application and are final.
