SABA University School of Medicine began in 1986 as a combined project between the island government of Saba and a group of medical educators from the United States. This medical consortium spent several years examining medical school curricula throughout the United States and Europe before adopting a basic science and clinical curriculum comparable to some of the finest medical schools. SABA University was approved by the Federal Government of the Netherlands-Antilles in 1988 and an official charter was granted in 1989. SABA University School of Medicine is listed by the World Health Organization. (Seventh Edition)
SABA University School of Medicine was established to provide a comprehensive basic science and clinical medicine education leading to completion of a Doctor of Medicine degree. Enrollment is open to all persons regardless of race, national origin, religion, sex, or age, who wish to devote the extensive time and effort necessary to practice medicine.
