This listing does not indicate the sequence of clinical courses. The core rotation schedules are determined by the hospital at the time students are admitted into the clinical program. In general, students complete their core rotations before doing additional requirements and electives. Electives listed above are examples of the many options available. Elective choices and schedules are arranged individually by students, in consultation with the hospital administration.

Hospitals have the option of requiring students to attend an orientation. This orientation can last up to a week and is a non-credit experience. Clinical rotations in the United Kingdom begin in January, July, and October.

Calendar is subject to change.

Selectives

Selectives are offered to basic sciences students during the first two years of the four-year medical program. The objective is to provide a structured learning experience in diverse clinical and scholarly areas. They give students the opportunity to integrate basic sciences knowledge into clinical areas and may provide a transition into clinical medicine. Selectives are offered by various departments and coordinated through the Office of the Dean of Basic Sciences. There is a cost associated with some of the selectives.

Selective activities have included international travel experiences to Kenya, Prague, Sweden, Thailand, and Hondouras. On-campus experiences include medical sign language, aerospace medicine, and more.

Current students and faculty can find more information on available selectives via the University Selectives Carenage community.

Additional Curriculum

Preclinical Program Curriculum
  • “It was hard not to like living in the Caribbean, and we received the same quality of education in our classrooms as students in the US and Canada. When we reached clinicals, I thought we were easily on par with the American students and certainly as good as or better than those from other Caribbean schools.”

    Austin Enright, MD
  • “In the Air Force, I have worked with many doctors from Ivy League schools, and as a graduate from SGU, I do not see any difference,” she said. “As a doctor, I feel as competent and as effective. SGU was an amazing experience for me.”

    Mayra Zapata, MD
