Lincoln American University

History

LAU was established in 2016 to provide affordable and quality medical education in Guyana to students from all around the world.

Since its inception, we have made impressive progress. Currently, 150+ students from Asia, Africa, Caribbean and worldwide are pursuing their dream of becoming a doctor with us making us one of the fastest growing medical universities in the Caribbean region.

Education

LAU offers a 5-Year MD Program including 1-Year Pre-Medical Program, 2-Year Basic Sciences and 2-Year Clinical Rotations in which students are offered International Clinical Experiences.

MD curriculum is based on US medical curriculum and adheres to United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) requirements.

English is the medium of instruction, and competent and highly qualified faculty members teach the students. We maintain an apt student-teacher ratio to facilitate personalized learning.

The program is designed in consultation with the doctors, healthcare professionals and leaders in the research sectors and fulfills medical licensure requirements of USA, India, Canada, and other countries worldwide.

Research

LAU has built state-of-the-art laboratories including Physics & Chemistry Lab, Anatomy Lab, Pathology Lab, and computer lab.

Beyond books and classrooms, we encourage students to pursue their own medical research in our laboratories. Students and faculty members work together on new projects.

To promote research, research exhibitions are organized in the University in which students show the research and science projects they are working on. Students are awarded and honored to encourage them to keep doing great work in medicine.

Constructive criticism, motivation, and feedback provided during seminars and exhibitions also help the students to achieve greater heights in the field of medical research.

Career

As students pursue medical education at LAU, they are encouraged to participate in medical outreach programs, seminars, and other career-enhancing activities.

During clinical rotations, students are provided with the option to get clinicals in affiliated hospitals of Asia and Caribbean with developing opportunities in Africa, USA, and other countries.

Our MD Program is recognized worldwide, and international clinical rotations prepare students for the global practice of medicine. After graduation, students can go for higher studies or apply for residency in US, qualify USMLE and apply for practice license in the country of their choice, subject to the fulfillment of country-specific licensure requirements.
