AUA College of Medicine Partners with Fisk University
EntSun News/10838468
MANHATTAN, N.Y. - EntSun -- Fisk University, one of the top historically black universities (HBCUs) in the United States, is partnering with American University of Antigua College of Medicine (AUA) to provide a new pathway for students of color to fulfill their dreams of practicing medicine.
Students from Fisk University—the oldest institute of higher learning in Tennessee and the #9 HBCU in the US, according to U.S. News and World Report—are eligible for advanced admissions priority, an expedited application review, and grants/scholarships for those that attend AUA for their medical education. Students will need to meet minimum academic thresholds during their Fisk education for eligibility.
AUA's Acting Executive Dean of Preclinical Sciences, John Yergan, MD, MPH, was joined by Fisk University officials at AUA's Antigua campus for the official July signing event.
"The creation of this partnership helps to build and create a pipeline for African-American medical professionals," said Vann R. Newkirk, Sr., PhD, Interim President, Fisk University. "It is my belief that this will improve access to healthcare for people of color, not only in the US but around the world." Graduates of Fisk who choose AUA will be eligible for a Preferred Partner Grant, in addition to any scholarships earned at AUA.

"I'm excited that this agreement will encourage Fisk premedical students to consider applying to our medical school," said Dr. Yergan. "Students from Fisk will be offered special consideration and incentives as part of our strong commitment to providing access to medical education for students from underrepresented minority backgrounds."
Though U.S. medical schools have been working for years to diversify their medical school cohorts, the percentage of African-Americans in United States medical schools continues to hover around six to seven percent. In comparison, 22 percent of the students in AUA's most recent graduating class were African-American.

AUA is also accredited by the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and Other Health Professions (CAAM-HP), which the United States Department of Education has found to have standards of accreditation comparable to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME).
