Xavier University School of Medicine in Aruba joins forces with KLE University to develop an international medical program aimed at Indian students seeking medical careers in the United States and Canada.
Xavier University School of Medicine (XUSOM), Aruba, in partnership with KLE University, India, has launched a unique international medical pathway designed specifically for Indian students aspiring to practice medicine in North America.
This program provides a clear, structured, and academically rigorous pathway starting in India with foundational pre-health sciences at KLE University, continuing medical education in Aruba at XUSOM, and culminating in clinical training opportunities across the United States.
The collaboration marks a significant step towards removing barriers and providing clear guidance for Indian students determined to pursue a medical career abroad, according to Ravi Bhooplapur, President of XUSOM. The partnership aims to empower the next generation of doctors to achieve their dream of practicing medicine in North America.
The program offers a seamless, structured path to meet the rigorous standards required for medical licensure in the US and Canada. It includes integration of KLE University’s strong pre-health sciences foundation with XUSOM’s medical curriculum in Aruba, medical training delivered by qualified, experienced faculty, and clinical training opportunities geared toward US and Canadian medical licensure requirements.
Students will spend the first year completing pre-health coursework at KLE's campus in Belgaum, India. They will then advance to Xavier's state-of-the-art campus in Aruba for basic science training before transitioning to hands-on clinical experiences in the United States.
Mamta Purbey, Director of Admissions & Marketing at XUSOM, stated that the program offers not only a robust academic curriculum but also personalized guidance and support throughout the medical education journey.
Dr. Arun Kumar Dubey, Chief Academic Officer of XUSOM, emphasized that the collaboration offers a globally aligned medical curriculum taught by experienced and highly qualified faculty. He further stated that the collaboration ensures students gain the knowledge, skills, and international exposure needed to excel in today's competitive medical field.
This collaboration explicitly addresses the challenges and uncertainties faced by Indian medical aspirants seeking international practice, offering a world-class, accessible route built on partnership between Indian and Caribbean institutions geared towards North American medical career outcomes.
