The tiny island of Curacao offers a surprisingly high level of lingual and cultural diversity. The educational programs are strongly influenced by the Dutch and the Americans. Students may enjoy participating in medical programs, language programs, and the fine arts, including access to influential novelists and poets.

Before people apply to medical school, they typically engage in the undergraduate pursuits that are most likely to prepare them for the intensity of those programs. Pre-med coursework can put students on the path to further study and, ultimately, to careers in the medical field.
