STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE

“The way they prepared us for these exams, the way they cared about our education and how they tailored it toward our success in the USMLE exams and towards our transition to the residency and fellowships and jobs in the United States. If I had to do it all over again, I would do it at St. George’s University.”

“I still have a smile on my face. I end every day feeling a sense of fulfillment. I think psychiatry for me specifically has been probably the best decision I’ve made so far, and that comes as a consequence of the other best decision I made which was going to St. George’s University”
