A Brief History of Belize by The World Factbook
Territorial disputes between the UK and Guatemala delayed the independence of Belize (formerly British Honduras) until 1981. Guatemala refused to recognize the new nation until 1992. Tourism has become the mainstay of the economy. The country remains plagued by high unemployment, growing involvement in the South American drug trade, and increased urban crime. Read More

The Medical University of the Americas is on a trimester system and admits a limited number of students three times per year, in September, January and May. Students may apply for admission to the Medical University at any time throughout the year, but students that submit their applications well in advance will have a greater chance of matriculating in the semester of their choice. Within two weeks after the complete application and documents have been received, the Registrar will schedule a telephone conference call or personal interview between the Admissions Committee and the applicant. Because the Registrar cannot schedule an interview until all the admissions materials are complete, please be sure to read the entire packet carefully. The Admissions Committee will seek to evaluate the candidate's potential for admission based on several criteria, including:
Intellectual and academic ability.
Communication skills, both verbal and written.
Goals for entering the medical field.
Letters of recommendation.
Knowledge of international medical education.
Special talents, hobbies, interests, international travel.
Personal qualities: spontaneity, enthusiasm, motivation, and sound judgement.
Willingness to work as a team member, accept responsibility for their actions, function effectively under stress, and to display flexibility.
Following the interview, students will be notified of their admission status within 10 days. After receiving a letter of acceptance from the Medical University, students will be required to acknowledge their candidacy within 30 days and submit a non-refundable tuition deposit to secure a position in the class. The deposit is credited toward tuition when the student matriculates. The remainder of the tuition and fees are due 45 days prior to the beginning of the semester in which admission has been granted. A refund schedule is printed under the Financial Information section.
