The Opportunity
The U.S. MD. Now Within Reach for International Students.
Nearly 25% of practicing physicians in the United States are born and educated abroad, yet international students make up less than 1% of MD program enrollment in the United States and Canada, and the UK caps international medical enrollment at just 7.55%. The doors are narrow, and the competition is fierce.
With a U.S. MD curriculum, clinical rotations at American teaching hospitals, and comprehensive career advising that begins in the first semester, WAUSM gives qualified international students a genuine, accredited path to practicing medicine in the United States.
That record is real: our first group of students to enter the NRMP and CaRMS match process matched at 100%, placing across more than a dozen specialties including Child Neurology, Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at hospitals and health systems across the U.S. and Canada.
Post-Baccalaureate Students

High Achieving High School Graduates
6-Year Accelerated Pathway to MD (APMD)
International students make up less than 1% of MD program enrollment in the U.S. and Canada. The APMD was built to change that.
Students spend two years earning their bachelor’s at a WAUSM university partner in the United States, then flow directly into WAUSM’s four-year MD Program. No gap years. No reapplication. A clear, structured road to two U.S. recognized degrees – a bachelor’s degree and an MD – in just six years.
- Add a popular degree pathway
- Leverage WAUSM recruitment
- Diversify your international enrollments
- Comprehensive training and support
- In-market lead sharing
