Gear up, docs-in-the-making! Manipal's American University of Antigua (AUA) College of Medicine is shaking things up with a major overhaul, offering Indian students a speedier path to a full-blown MD degree. Starting September this year, AUA will adopt a swanky new trimester schedule, allowing three annual intakes – in May, September, and January.

Welcome to AUA, designed for high school grads yearning to don that white coat and give healthcare a mighty shake! The school offers an extensive med program, priming students to practice medicine on the global stage, be it in the USA, Canada, or the UK. If you fancy soaking up knowledge at the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) in Manipal, India, you can kickstart your journey there!

So, why all the fuss about the fresh trimester slot in May? Well, newcomers no longer have to twiddle their thumbs waiting for traditional academic cycles. Instead, they can dive headfirst into their medical education pronto, and enjoy a snappier 6-year MD program instead of 6.5! With a trimmed-down schedule, grads can get a leg up on clinical rotations and licensure, all while saving on housing, travel, and daily living expenses.

"This badass new trimester schedule signifies our unwavering commitment to boost students' academic goals with more flexibility," said Dr. Pete Bell, AUA's boss man. "By opening a third entrance, we're giving wannabe docs the power to steer their timelines and stride forward with swag"

The trimester system keeps AUA's academic rigor intact, with a dash of overall efficiency. It even blends the Global Health Track, a lordly collaboration with Florida International University (FIU), into the curriculum's core fabric. The track orbits around global health systems, community engagements, and public health challenges, ensuring students snag a worldly understanding of their field.

Depending on their entrance date, students could shove their applications for residency programs into the ring up to a year ahead. That's a huge advantage, as it puts them in the driver's seat, luring employers with their aggressive career momentum!
