Graduate Studies
The Doctor of Medicine/Master of Science (MD/MSc) Program
The MD/MSc dual degree program is designed for medical students with a desire to become involved with original, thesis-oriented research and provides students with additional credentials when seeking careers in specific areas of advanced medical research. Concentrations include Bioethics, Ecology, Epidemiology, Immunology, Microbiology, Neuroscience and Public Health.
The curricula for the combined MD/MSc degrees reflect areas of investigative research that enhance preventive medicine and healthcare delivery in Grenada, other Caribbean states and internationally. Medical students enrolled in the dual degree program decelerate their preclinical medical sciences to facilitate their MSc program.
Many of our graduate students have presented their work at international conferences; representing St. George's University in the larger community of research scientists. Research is partially supported by the Windward Islands Research and Education Foundation, a non-profit organization at St. George's. Depending on the specific area of research, studies may be conducted either within WINDREF, in departmental laboratories, or in approved laboratories at other universities or institutes.
The MSc degree will be awarded on successful completion of 10 required credits from the preclinical MD program and all prescribed graduate level courses as outlined in the curriculum.
