Aureus University of School Medicine was founded to provide the next generation of healers an affordable, first-rate medical education. Equipping students for the formidable challenges of 21st century medicine, Aureus strives to imbue the student body with a keen sensitivity and awareness of the needs of their patients. Aureus graduates are liberated from the notion that medicine is simply a job as they approach their work as a privilege, ultimately carrying the university’s motto, MEDICAE MANUS (healing hands), to the four corners of the globe. Aureus wel- comes students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, balanced with a compassionate and humble heart, as the university builds an ever-increas- ing tradition of excellence.
