4-Year MD Program

St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine, a Caribbean medical school, offers a 4-Year MD Program (MD4) designed for students who have completed a bachelor’s degree in the required sciences. The program equips students with both practical and critical thinking skills necessary for success as practicing physicians. The 157-week curriculum is typically completed within four calendar years, with all instruction delivered in English. The program’s comprehensive curriculum provides students with the foundational knowledge needed to succeed as physicians and prepares them to develop thriving careers in medicine.

The MD program is divided into two phases: Basic Sciences and Clinical Training.

In Years 1 and 2 (Basic Sciences), students complete their courses on SGU’s campus in Grenada. The curriculum includes traditional lectures and laboratory sessions, complemented by small group sessions and case-based learning exercises. Grenada, with its modern facilities and various amenities, provides an ideal environment for medical students from around the world to live, learn, and build diverse networks.

Years 3 and 4 (Clinical Training) take place at SGU-affiliated hospitals and clinics across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Grenada. During these years, bedside teaching is emphasized, with lectures, small group sessions, and directed study supplementing the clinical experience.
