    Curriculum

    Basic Sciences
    The first phase of SGU’s MD program focuses on foundational medical sciences through a systems-based, clinically-integrated curriculum. Students can choose to begin their studies on SGU’s purpose-built campus in Grenada, featuring modern facilities and a supportive academic environment, or through our partnership with Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK.

    Clinical Training
    After completing the basic sciences, students transition to clinical rotations at over 85+ affiliated hospitals and health systems across the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. These hands-on experiences allow students to develop essential practical skills, gain exposure to diverse healthcare systems, and prepare for residency and future medical practice.
