History
Saba University School of Medicine began in 1986 as a combined project between the island government of Saba and a group of medical educators from the United States. Saba University was approved by the Federal Government of the Netherlands Antilles in 1988 and an official charter was granted in 1989.
Saba University's graduates practice primarily in the United States and Canada with over 1300 graduates. Over 120 students were placed in Canadian and American residencies in 2009 alone. Saba's USMLE Step 1 pass rate was 95% in 2002 and 94% in 2003. The USMLE Step 2 pass rate was 93% and 90% in those years respectively. Class sizes are 80-100 students per matriculating class. Students complete the first 20 months of basic science medical education on the island and return to the US and Canada to complete clinical rotations at hospitals contracted by the school.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
