What will I learn?

The Doctor of Medicine program at St. George’s University, a Caribbean medical school located in beautiful Grenada, opens doors for a medical career on an international scale.

The Grenada Medical and Dental Council, Ministry of Health of the Government of Grenada

The US Department of Education’s National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation has deemed the Grenada Medical and Dental Council’s accreditation standards to be comparable to those used in the United States.
