A higher education center maintaining affiliations with universities in Poland, Hope Medical Institute has a rich history of educating and training the next generation of medical leaders. It was founded by a diverse group of scientists, physicians, and business executives who wanted to make it easier for international students to study at foreign medical schools and practice in Europe and the United States. Hope Medical Institute offers an internationally accredited six-year MD program that features four years of core curriculum study in a Polish university and two years of clinical rotations in hospitals in Europe and the United States. Tuition costs are affordable compared to American and Caribbean medical schools.

Hope Medical Institute's affiliated universities are accredited by the Higher Education Board of Poland and the New York and California State Medical Boards. Its affiliate universities are also recognized by the International Medical Education Directory and certified by the US Department of Education. It is the only European medical school that lets students complete their last two years of clinical rotations in the United States in areas that include Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, Surgery, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Pediatrics, and Family Medicine. This foundation means Hope Medical Institute's graduates can sit for licensing exams in the US and Canada and eventually practice in Europe or North America.
