- American Canadian School of Medicine (ACCM, IAAR)
- Avalon University School of Medicine (CAAM-HP, ACCM)
- Saint James School of Medicine (ACCM, CAAM-HP)

- Xavier University School of Medicine (ACCM, CAAM-HP)
Pending or uncertain cases
The following 8 schools have at least one accreditation entry with a provisional, unknown, or candidacy status, or a data note flagging a pending renewal. Treat these as requiring direct verification with the relevant agency.
- American Canadian School of Medicine — ACCM: Provisional accreditation
- Bioprist Institute of Medical Sciences — CAAM-HP: Candidacy / applicant status
- Bridgetown International University — CAAM-HP: Provisional accreditation
- Metropolitan University College of Medicine — CAAM-HP: Provisional accreditation
- Ponce Health Sciences University School of Medicine (British Virgin Islands) — ACCM: Candidacy / applicant status
- Saba University School of Medicine — NVAO: Status unknown — see source
- The University of the West Indies School of Medicine — CAAM-HP: Accredited with conditions
- Western Atlantic University School of Medicine — CAAM-HP: Provisional accreditation
Notable case: Saba University School of Medicine — NVAO renewal peer-review panel issued a positive report in January 2026 following a November 2025 site visit. The formal renewal besluit should be confirmed on nvao.net when published.
Dataset downloads
- accreditation-registry.json — one object per accreditation row, all fields
- accreditation-registry.csv — flat CSV, same data
Both files are generated from the same school JSON records at build time. The registry's robots.txt is at /robots.txt and the sitemap is at /sitemap.xml.
Methodology caveats
- Counts are computed at build time from the data snapshot dated 2026-11-02. Agency lists update independently; check the changelog for post-build changes.
- "Multi-agency" detection includes historical withdrawn rows — a school that once held ACCM accreditation and later withdrew still counts as having two body entries.
- Status counts are per decision row, not per school. A single school can contribute multiple rows (e.g. one accredited row and one withdrawn row) and each is tallied separately.
- We never upgrade agency language in the UI. "Accredited with conditions" is not the same as "accredited" — see the full status vocabulary.
- This page does not constitute accreditation advice. Always verify directly with the relevant accrediting body before relying on any status for enrollment, licensing, or financial-aid decisions.
