The Clinical Science Program is comprised of 78 weeks of core and elective clinical rotations at hospitals in the US, England and Guyana. In this program, students

participate in the patient care process while rotating through various medical specialties, under the guidance of the clinical faculty and staff physicians.

At the end of each core clinical rotation, students will be tested and evaluated by the respective clinical faculty. Students must pass AISM Clinical Science Comprehensive Examination before he or she can be considered as completing the academic requirements leading to a Medical Doctor Degree from AISM.

Clinical Core Clerkships Internal Medicine (12wks) Surgery (12wks)Family Medicine (8wks) Obstetrics & Gynecology (8wks)Pediatrics (8wks) Psychiatry (8wks)

The remaining 22 weeks provide the student with an opportunity to explore various medical specialties. Specialty classes are taught in 4wks sessions.

Upon completion of clinical rotations students prepare for their Step 2 USMLE, PLAB I and II or CAMC exams with the aid and guidance by our staff physicians who are familiar with these exams.

WELCOME TO THE AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL

SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

About us

AISM is a privately owned institution of higher learning with its main campus in Guyana, South America and Offices in USA.

AISM was established in 1999 by The International Medical Educators Associates, Inc. (IMEA) a Georgia Company in the United States of America, headed by Dr. Colin A. Wilkinson. The establishment of AISM in Guyana was well received by the Government of Guyana and approved by its Cabinet on the 19th October, 1999. The first Batch of Students was admitted in January 2000 in the Winter Semester , since then AISM has graduated over 300 physicians who are working in Guyana, U.K , USA, Grenada, Trinidad, Pakistan, Tanzania and other countries.

AISM is listed with the World Health Organization and is registered with the National Accreditation Council of Guyana. We have successfully addressed requirements of the Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) and therefore obtained permission for our students to sit the United States Medical Licensing Examination USME. Graduates from AISM can also sit for the British PLAB and other Licensing Board Examination necessary for registration /certification, specific to a particular country or region.

At AISM, we offer a very academically dynamic and culturally diverse learning environment. Our major strength lies in our ability to attract and maintain quality faculty and staff with the experiences and commitment to provide the highest standard of training and services required to fulfill our mission.

AISM Pre-Medical Program serves as a foundation for the studies of the medical sciences from the O Level , A Level and CAPE Science Students for an easier transition into the medical school curriculum.

Strong Passes in SAT, GCE /CXC or any other Advanced Levels examinations in English, Mathematics and Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Integrated Science, Agriculture Science, Human Biology)

(Students with Advanced standing would be placed into an appropriate semester within the pre-medical program which is determined by transcripts and other advanced credentials)

Upon successful completion, a student can expect an easy transition into the medical sciences or other health related field.

This program also serves applicants who have completed studies in non science academic disciplines.

Note: The science foundation courses are the requisite undergraduate level courses for admission to the School of Medicine, these include Biology I and II with Lab; Inorganic Chemistry I and II with Lab, Organic Chemistry I and II with Lab, at least one semester of either calculus, computer science, or statistics and one semester of English, one semester of physics with lab, one semester either calculus, computer science, or statistics and semester of English.

CurriculumAt AISM we use the didactic approach

to implement our curriculum. We integrate both Basic Science and Clinical Science experience with detailed study throughout the four years of medical school. We place emphasis on the following:

Academic Concentrations - Enhance student satisfaction with the study of medicine and foster a lifelong commitment to investigation and holistic thinking.

Individual Opportunities - We provide impromptu time for individual and group work.

Solidification of doctor-patient interaction – we have an extensive clinical science presence in first 2 years of our program. Students are introduced to hospital setting during their first year of medical school. There is sharp emphasis on doctor-patient communication, ethics, and the art of practicing medicine.

Modernized teaching methods -we restructure and optimized our course sequence by merging of basic science and clinical concepts throughout the curriculum.

THE VISION “To be among

the most distinguished

education and training institutions in the world

specialized in Medical Health, Environmental

Health, and Research and

Development.”
