The three paths feature the same curriculum and provide a strong foundation for SGU’s future physicians. The last two years have the option of doing clinical rotations either in the US or the UK.
The SGU admissions process and requirements give you detailed information on what prerequisites are needed to apply for our five-year MD degree pathway, and will walk you through the steps you need to take on applying for admission.
