Doctor of Medicine (5 Years)

The Five-Year MD Track (MD Track 5) at St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine in the Caribbean is suitable for students who have completed their high school education and performed well in science subjects. The first year focuses on preclinical studies, followed by a year of basic sciences, which can be completed in the UK or Grenada. Students then continue with basic sciences at SGU’s Grenada campus. Up to two years of clinical rotations can be done in the US or UK, depending on visa policies, with elective options in Canada. The MD is awarded upon completion of the program.

1. Students build on an existing academic background in science with entry-level medical degree coursework in anatomy, physiology, and other foundational sciences.

2. The initial coursework prepares our MD Track 5 students for success in the basic sciences and clinical phases of SGU’s MD program.

SGU is truly an international institution, with its diverse student body and faculty, but also the unique opportunity for students to begin their medical education in Grenada or the UK. The two paths feature the same curriculum and provide a strong foundation for SGU’s future physicians. Students can complete up to two years of clinical rotations in the US and/or UK. The impressive graduates who obtained a residency prove that SGU continues adding compassionate, skilled doctors to the global workforce. Take the next step towards realizing your dream of becoming a doctor by obtaining your MD at SGU and gain a global perspective on modern medicine.
