An excellent school, a gorgeous environment, and the tools you need to succeed. Founded in 2004, chartered by the government of Aruba, and authorized by the Ministry of Education of Aruba, Xavier University School of Medicine offers everything students are looking for in a medical school!

We know the full dimension of any candidate exceeds the scores listed on an academic record. That is why we conduct a more holistic assessment when evaluating prospective students.


Intimate classes keep students from feeling lost and invisible in massive lecture halls. At Xavier, there is greater opportunity to work hands-on with our faculty, who always encourage more personalized training.
Xavier deploys the same integrated system-based curriculum model that is utilized in medical schools throughout the U.S. This means that we teach medicine that is aligned to the systems of the body.


We are unwavering in our dedication to upholding the highest academic standards in medical education, and our commitment to excellence is continually validated by many international accrediting bodies. Xavier has earned top accreditations from the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM) and is also approved by New York State and the Medical Board of California, among our many other approvals and accreditations. These vital recognitions enable our graduates to secure exceptional residencies and become licensed physicians throughout the United States, Canada, and throughout the world.
Located in the warm waters of the southern Caribbean, Aruba is home to beautiful white-sand beaches, 82-degree days, and some of the kindest people in the world. Aruba is one of the safest islands in the Caribbean and is easily accesible to get to with frequent direct flights from major North American and European cities. There are many reasons why Aruba is called One Happy Island, and our students benefit from one of the best islands in the Caribbean!
