XUSOM was founded in 2004 and is chartered by the government of Aruba with authorization by the Ministry of Education of Aruba. In 2015, XUSOM received accreditation from the Accreditation Commission of Colleges of Medicine (ACCM) which was renewed in 2019 for six more years. This certifies that XUSOM is comparable to the standards held by medical schools in the United States. In 2018, XUSOM also received full accreditation from the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine (CAAM-HP), making us one of the only schools in the Caribbean with dual accreditation.
These accreditations show XUSOM’s dedication to upholding the highest academic standards and providing our graduates the best opportunity for success. The school prides itself on having a distinguished, diverse faculty from all over the world that are dedicated to providing high- quality teaching and a positive environment for students to expand their knowledge and gain the most from their education.
As the Faculty Senate President, I am pleased to welcome you to XUSOM. All faculty are voting members of the Faculty Senate and have the responsibility to help the school grow and reach its full potential. Please become acquainted with the rules and bylaws laid out in the Faculty Handbook. As a XUSOM faculty member, you should feel proud to be a part of this prestigious group of individuals that is dedicated to providing the best quality education possible. Together, we will continue to develop and remain one of the Top 10 medical schools in the Caribbean.
