MD Doctor of Medicine

The Doctor of Medicine program at St. George’s University, a Caribbean medical school located in beautiful Grenada, opens doors for a medical career on an international scale.

The MD program at SGU is accredited and/or approved by many external regulatory and accrediting bodies, including:

• The Grenada Medical and Dental Council, Ministry of Health of the Government of Grenada
• The New York State Education Department
• The New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners
• The Medical Board of California
• Licensed by the Florida Commission on Independent Education
• The US Department of Education’s National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation has deemed the Grenada Medical and Dental Council’s accreditation standards to be comparable to those used in the United States. Comparability of accreditation standards is a major component necessary to allow MD students at SGUSOM to qualify for government-sponsored loans.

St. George’s University’s MD program has multiple entry points.

• We offer a traditional four-year MD program for students entering with a bachelor’s degree, as well as preclinical programs that lead into our four-year med school program.
• The five-, six- and seven-year MD pathways include coursework designed to prepare our students for medical school.
• Our medical school students have an opportunity to learn medicine in some of the best and most well-known hospitals in the world.
• Clinical studies include core rotations, sub-internships, primary care, and elective rotations.
  
  

Traditional Four-Year MD Program

The first two years of the Four-Year MD Program concentrate on the traditional basic science disciplines on the True Blue campus in Grenada, the Caribbean.

• Laboratory experience is an integral part of these first two years, along with small group discussions designed for problem-based learning and early integration of the clinical medicine into basic sciences at the General Hospital in Grenada.
• Students may also consider completing one year of preclinical sciences and/or the first year of basic sciences in the United Kingdom as part of the St. George’s University of Grenada School of Medicine/Northumbria University Four-Year MD Program.

The final two years focus on clinical sciences, with training at SGU’s clinical centers and affiliated hospitals in the United States, United Kingdom, and Grenada.

• Clinical training emphasizes responsibility, maturity, and compassion in the development of professional excellence.
• Students learn how to conduct themselves as physicians, take responsibility, work harmoniously with professional colleagues, and exhibit maturity.
