About Hope Medical Institute

Hope Medical Institute is an international institute maintaining affiliations and cooperative working relationships with schools of medicine throughout the world. These institutions are among the world’s finest and best known medical universities that have many years of rich history and tradition. During the long years of service, our affiliated universities have trained thousands of international students. We offer programs which are accredited and lead to licensing to practice medicine in the United States and Canada. All of our affiliated universities are recognized and listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and are fully accredited and participate in student loan programs managed and monitored by the US Department of Education. All of our courses are taught in English in a cordial environment. The tradition of HMI's affiliated institutions is to ensure small class sizes so that students can be given the highest personalized education and training needed to prepare students to become the finest, and the best prepared physicians.

For many years, Hope Medical Institute has been a cost effective beacon of hope for many students - and their concerned parents-who hold the lifelong dream of obtaining a strong and well-balanced education in the extremely competitive field of medicine. For many others as well, Hope Medical Institute will always remain the best affordable opportunity for becoming a world class physician.

HMI was founded by many people of which were parents- who were scientists, prominent physicians, and business executives that were frustrated with the high cost of education and the difficulties to being accepted to a medical school for their sons or daughters. Parents and students learned quickly how difficult it can be to obtain admission at a reputable medical school located in the United States. They also have found how difficult it can be resettling, transferring, and obtaining licenses in the U.S. for students who have elected to study at other medical institutions abroad. Hope Medical Institute was created to assist students and their parents to overcome these problems and obstacles. HMI has developed strong relationships with renowned European medical institutions that have medical curricula equal to that of US medical universities. Our affiliated European medical universities train students using actual patients rather than virtual mechanical simulation to insure that students become knowledgeable patient connected bedside trained physicians, who are capable of dealing with both the physical and emotional aspects of medical treatment. Students who train through our programs will benefit from this real world experience and will be well prepared at the appropriate time for passing the board exams and getting licensed
