A medical school is more than its classrooms. At USAIM, our students live and learn in one of the most beautiful nations on Earth — and our community looks after them.
Our campus on Mahé Island brings together world-class teaching facilities, a tight-knit student community and the natural beauty of Seychelles — a setting that supports rigor, wellbeing and the kind of friendships that last a career.
Modern teaching infrastructure, integrated clinical training, and the world's most beautiful study spots.
State-of-the-art anatomy facility with high-resolution digital anatomy tables, plastinated specimens and full-scale anatomical models — designed by Dr. Lin-Mei Chen.
Twelve-station high-fidelity clinical simulation suite with adult, pediatric and obstetric mannequins, control booth, and OSCE rooms.
Two-story medical library with skylight atrium, 30,000+ volumes, full UpToDate / ClinicalKey / NEJM / JAMA digital subscriptions.
Wet labs, molecular biology suite, marine pharmacology bay and shared instrument core including PCR, flow cytometry and HPLC.
Six tiered lecture halls (60–180 seats) and twelve small-group teaching rooms designed for problem-based learning.
Twelve clinical-skills rooms with audiovisual capture, used for OSCE training and clinical examination skill assessments.
Seychelles Hospital — the nation's tertiary referral center — is a 12-minute drive from campus and our anchor clinical site.
Three multi-story student lounges with study carrels, café service, and ocean-facing balconies.
USAIM offers two-bedroom suite-style residences within easy walking distance of the academic buildings, library and simulation center. All units are fully furnished, air-conditioned and equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, individual study desks, and 24/7 security.
Our dining services are built around the schedule of medical students — open early, late and through clinical-skills weeks — and around the cuisines of the international community we welcome.
USAIM treats student wellness as a core academic priority. Every enrolled student has free access to medical care, mental-health counseling, and a year-round wellness program led by the Office of Student Affairs.
Student-led organizations are at the center of USAIM life. Below are some of the largest and most active.
The elected voice of the student body — including class representatives and committee chairs.
Lectures, journal club and shadowing opportunities for students considering IM residency.
Suturing workshops, cadaveric labs and a lecture series with visiting surgeons.
School-based health-education outreach across Mahé and Praslin schools.
Service-learning trips and seminars on medicine in low-resource settings.
Mentor-matching, abstract preparation, and an annual Research Day with poster awards.
Mentorship, scholarship support and panels with senior female clinicians.
Music ensembles performing at orientation, white-coat ceremony and commencement.
Seychelles is one of the safest, most welcoming and most beautiful places on Earth — and the cultural fabric is woven from African, French, Indian, Chinese and English influences. Our students take full advantage.
On any given weekend, you'll find USAIM students hiking the Morne Seychellois National Park trails, snorkeling at Beau Vallon, attending Creole festivals in Victoria, volunteering with local NGOs, or simply studying with a sea breeze on a campus terrace.
"I came expecting to be busy. I didn't expect to also feel calm — but the island has a way of doing that. You learn to be a good doctor, and you also learn to be well."
— Aïsha Rakotomalala, MD '27
