Letter from the President


Dear Prospective Students:


Welcome from President to Xavier University school of Medicine at Bonaire.


Medicine has always been regarded as a noble profession. This is especially true among the South Asian communities. Every year a large number of students apply to medical schools and are accepted but the ratio of applicants to positions available is staggering. This means that large pools of applicants do not get accepted. This create a scramble as these students looks for paramedical careers; including those in pharmacology, veterinary medicine and graduate degrees in the sciences. This is where medical schools in other countries can be considered as an alternative.


At Xavier University School of Medicine, Bonaire, our Mission is to educate highly dedicated students in both the science and the art of medicine. This begins with an environment which promotes growth and learning, and entails dedication, discipline and direction, all of which are fundamental in the development of skilled physician.


We want you to become successful in medicine; however you define that for yourself; whether it's caring for patient in a rural, undeserved area of pushing the frontiers of medical knowledge in a big city. Only you can decide what's right for you. Whatever you choose , it will require dedication and mastery over many different skills. None of worthwhile ever are.


That's why the success of Xavier University School of Medicine Bonaire's mission; our ability to produce effective successful physicians, depends on your dreams. Your dream of becoming a doctor is ultimately what will sustain you on the road toward becoming as M.D.

You can count on Xavier University School of Medicine, Bonaire to help you do everything possible to make  it come true. 

We look forward to assisting you to achieve your goals.


Sincerely
Shokat Fatteh, M.D.
President & CEO
Xavier University School of Medicine, Bonaire
