Who We Are

American Canadian School of Medicine (ACSOM) is the first institution of excellence in the Caribbean. Unlike the for-profit medical schools in the region, ACSOM is a non-profit university, not beholden to shareholders and corporations, entirely dedicated to providing its students with the highest quality education. Because it works in tandem with the Commonwealth of Dominica and local medical providers, ACSOM is uniquely positioned to raise the standard of healthcare for the local community.
