Affiliated Hospitals and Clinical Centers
Affiliated Hospitals and Clinical Centers St. George’s University School of Medicine has a long standing relationship with many excellent affiliated hospitals.
In 1999, the University inaugurated a system of clinical centers to add to its already impressive list of affiliated hospitals.
A clinical center is defined as a hospital, or group of hospitals, able to provide at least four or five core rotations and train 80 to 100 students at all times. Clinical centers provide sub-internships, primary care rotations and electives.
With SGU clinical directors, clerkship directors and faculty at each location, our students, like many US medical students, can receive their clinical education in their own “university” clinical program.
