Why SAMA is different

Most agencies stop at enrolment. That is where we start.

Admission is only the starting line. Families' real question is whether the degree will lead to a career in medicine — so that is what we organise everything around.

A typical admissions agency

  • Arranges the admission letter and visa — then steps away
  • Promotes the longest possible list of universities
  • Blanket claims that degrees are “recognised worldwide”
  • No published data on how its students actually do
  • Fees and university commissions left unclear

St. Augustine Medical Academy

  • Stays with you for all six years and into residency planning
  • A deliberately small network of verified partner universities
  • School-by-school licensing pathway cards, with sources and dates
  • A public outcomes framework — targets, methods and reporting dates
  • Every fee disclosed, including anything a university pays us

The 6-year roadmap

From the first anatomy lecture to the first day of residency — one partner.

Before you go

Pre-admission

Readiness profile, school match, entrance-exam preparation, visa and housing checklist.

Years 1–2

Pre-clinical

Study-skills coaching, foundational science reinforcement, peer mentor, early research.

Years 3–6

Clinical

USMLE or national-licensure preparation, electives and observerships, local-language support.

Graduation

Transition

Residency strategy, CV and personal statement, mock interviews, letters of recommendation.

Walk through the journey

Curated global medical education

Four countries. A deliberately small network.

We would rather recommend a few universities we have examined closely than hundreds we have not. Each partner is reviewed for legal status, accreditation, clinical training and student support — and re-reviewed every year.

Built on verifiable trust

Everything we claim, you can check.

Licensing clarity

Accreditation, WFME and ECFMG status for every school — with the primary source and the date we last checked.

Radical fee transparency

A six-year total-cost calculator, the hidden costs others leave out, and exactly how SAMA is paid.

Published outcomes

What we measure, how we measure it, and the date we will first report — before we have the numbers.

Ethical recruitment

No guarantees we cannot keep. Recommendations based on fit — never on the size of a commission.

For parents

You are making this decision too.

Sending a son or daughter abroad at eighteen is a family decision. We brief parents as carefully as we advise students.

  • A realistic six-year budget — not just year-one tuition
  • Plain-language answers on recognition and licensing
  • Airport pickup, a first-30-days plan and a peer mentor on arrival
  • Periodic progress briefings, with your child's consent
