In the meantime, you likely have some questions about both St. George’s University (SGU) and Grenada. Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common queries students have as well as some additional resources to help you out.
Will I be able to work in the US?
Absolutely. SGU has all the appropriate accreditations that allow you to obtain your medical license and practice in any state. You’ll take the exact same licensing exams US medical students complete. Furthermore, SGU is the largest source of physicians licensed in the US—more than any other medical school in the world.1
1According to FSMB physician licensure data, 2023.
What are my chances of securing a residency if I attend SGU?
89% US residency placement rate for international graduates over the last five years.1
1Average of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 residency placement rates.

You can also begin your MD in the UK. The partnership between SGU of Grenada School of Medicine/Northumbria University (NU) offers a four-year MD program as well as five- and six-year MD tracks. The program and tracks start in Newcastle, UK, where you can complete the first part of your education at NU, with an MD degree awarded by SGU.
What should I know about campus safety?
SGU is a gated community. The school has long maintained a great relationship with Grenada’s residents. The island is one of the safest in the Caribbean, and that goes for weather as well. Grenada is well below the most common travel path for hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean.
Are there any student organizations I should know about?
Students are incredibly active in the community. They’ve donated time, money, and a significant amount of energy to volunteer projects in Grenada that range from social issues to animal rescues. There are also opportunities to get involved in intramural sports and special interest groups. You’ll be encouraged to balance your studies with other activities and experiences.
