Get Inspired by Saba Graduates Practicing in the U.S. and Canada
Read what our graduates have to say about our experienced faculty, small class sizes, and our curriculum. Like you, they wanted to make a difference in the world, and with a medical education from Saba University School of Medicine, they have achieved it.
One of the big draws of Saba was that they had a 24/7 anatomy lab with cadavers, which not many of the other schools in the Caribbean or in the U.S. have.
Saba’s history of successful match results made it stand out amongst other options for medical school.
On the island they have clinical skills lab where they teach you how to take blood pressure and do proper abdominal exams.
