The MD program is broken down into two phases: Basic Sciences and Clinical Training.

Year 1 and Year 2 (Basic Sciences), students complete their courses on the True Blue Campus in Grenada. Students learn through traditional lectures and laboratory sessions augmented by small–group sessions and case–based learning exercises.
Year 3 and Year 4 (Clinical Training) happens at SGU affiliated hospitals and clinics across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Grenada using bedside teaching and augmented by lectures, small groups, and directed study.

The curriculum for our four-year program gives you the foundation needed to succeed as a physician, and prepares you to grow your practice into a thriving career in medicine.

The Clinical Years consist of five terms for a total of 80 weeks.

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.
