[u_testimonial][u_testimonial_item name=”Natasha Suleman” title=”Toronto, Canada Class of 2013″ avatar=”2518″]Ever since the first day I joined IAU, I have become a part of a family abroad. I still remember landing on the island and how welcoming and helpful everyone was. From that day on, I knew that I had made the right decision of choosing IAU. The class sizes were just right; for the first time, professors actually knew my name and cared about my education. The education I received made studying for the USMLE exams a breeze as all of the material had already been covered so there were no surprises. When bridging into the clinical years, I am happy to say that once again I was provided much assistance when deciding where to go, where to stay and which options best suited my needs. I have had wonderful clinical experiences under some of the most knowledgeable preceptors and every one of them has been an avid teacher.[/u_testimonial_item][u_testimonial_item name=”James Stewart” title=”Collingwood, Ontario Class of 2011″ avatar=”2609″]On one occasion there was a mock plane crash orchestrated in St. Lucia as a drill. It was amazing to see how the school actively participated with the community to create a very realistic experience. Needless to say it was very exciting for all of the students involved and it gave us a good feel for what is to be expected in emergency medicine.[/u_testimonial_item][u_testimonial_item name=”Clifford Prasad” title=”Queens, New York Class of 2011″ avatar=”2522″]My clinical experiences at IAU have been great! I feel that I am getting excellent training from my attending physicians. I get to travel all over the U.S. and visit many different hospitals. My favorite rotation so far is Ob-Gyn because I got a lot of hands on experience, especially the surgery aspect.[/u_testimonial_item][u_testimonial_item name=”Hina Quasim” title=”New Fairfield, Connecticut Class of 2013″ avatar=”2524″]IAU’s extensive exam preparation has made our minds geared towards succeeding in the USMLE. The bi-weekly exams keep us on top of studying and help us to meet our goals.[/u_testimonial_item][u_testimonial_item name=”Julian Vallon” title=”Hollis, New York Class of 2012″ avatar=”2526″]Interacting with patients at such an early stage of my medical education reinforces a sense of responsibility. My clinical exposure has given me a lot of confidence and I know it will give me an advantage over my US peers.[/u_testimonial_item][u_testimonial_item name=”Trevor Cook” title=”Point Comfort, Texas Class of 2013″ avatar=”2528″]Every professor knows me by name; they know my strengths and weaknesses. They use that knowledge to personally help me academically. They want us to become doctors and they don’t want to “weed” out the students.[/u_testimonial_item][u_testimonial_item name=”Sreeja Namputhiri” title=”Dallas, Texas Class of 2012″ avatar=”2913″]I feel the case studies helped me learn subjects as a whole and provided for integration of multiple subjects on a clinical level. Through cases I have been able to link different aspects of medicine to better my knowledge of the human body and diagnosis.[/u_testimonial_item][u_testimonial_item name=”Jawad Salim” title=”Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Class of 2011″ avatar=”2914″]I feel that the small classroom environment not only helps my professors get to know me on a more personal level, but it also helps me to acquire more knowledge and attention which is something that students within other larger schools fail to receive.[/u_testimonial_item][/u_testimonial]
