From the Chancellor
St. George’s University School of Medicine prepares students for the lifelong
study and practice of medicine. In addition to the essential knowledge and skills
of practicing professionals, the program forwards the highest goals of health
care professionals. The international character of our faculty, student body,
and locations on three continents provides our graduates with an experiential
education consonant with our modern world. The Doctor of Medicine (MD)
program promotes the understanding that research into the basic sciences and
clinical medicine is an essential feature of health care. The establishment of our
Medical Student Research Initiative provides the exceptional student with the
opportunities to develop into a physician-scientist.
The commitment of the University to research underlies its affiliation with
Windward Islands Research and Education Foundation (WINDREF) and its
support of our CEPH-accredited Master of Public Health degree program.
This commitment promotes studies in a wider range of health care fields and
preventive medicine, and an understanding into the cause, epidemiology, and
treatment of diseases important to the communities of the Windward Islands
and the greater Caribbean.
Throughout its history, part of our mission expressed a responsibility to improve
the health care of Grenada. Over the decades, this has taken many forms.
Presently, St. George’s University School of Medicine is planning on developing
postgraduate training programs in Grenada to train family medicine and general
practice physicians. Many of these physicians will be graduates of our School.
We believe this will enhance the delivery of primary care on our Island and
improve the lives of all Grenadians.

Medical education at St. George’s University begins on the island of Grenada or on the
campus of Northumbria University in the United Kingdom, and is completed with clinical
training primarily conducted in Clinical Centers and affiliated teaching hospitals in the
United States* and the United Kingdom. The School of Medicine is listed with the World
Health Organization, and is fully recognized and approved by the government of Grenada
to confer the degree of Doctor of Medicine upon students who fulfill the School’s admission
requirements and complete the prescribed curriculum.
Our Standards
• In 1996, the US Department of Education reviewed the standards of medical education in
30 countries for the purpose of student loans. Grenada was one of four countries approved
during the initial review; the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada were the other three.
Other countries have subsequently been approved. Our program in medicine has been
approved by the states of New York, New Jersey, California, and Florida for clinical training
of our students in Clinical Centers and affiliated hospitals.
• The School has additional affiliation agreements with hospitals in other states and in the
United Kingdom.
• The Doctor of Medicine degree from SGU complies with the current criteria of the UK
GMC for what constitutes an acceptable primary medical qualification for the purpose
of obtaining registration with the UK GMC. St. George’s University School of Medicine is
perhaps one of the most reviewed and approved international medical schools in the world.
• The Doctor of Medicine program at St. George’s University has been accredited and/or
approved by many external bodies, perhaps more than any program in medicine in the world.
St. George’s University School of Medicine is accredited by the Government of Grenada, and
the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and Health Professions
(CAAM-HP). St. George’s University School of Medicine is approved by the New York State
Education Department (NYSED) and the Board of Medical Examiners of the State of New
Jersey for the purpose of conducting clinical training programs in those states.
• In addition, the School of Medicine is recognized by the Medical Board of California, and
approved by the Florida Commission on Independent Education of the Florida Department
of Education.
• The National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation (of the
USDOE), in conjunction with the approval of the State of New York, has deemed Grenada’s
accreditation standards to be comparable to those utilized by the United States.
St. George’s University graduates have been licensed to practice medicine in over 45
countries and in all 50 states of the United States. As with all educational institutions,
periodic reviews by the appropriate agencies determine the continuation of such approvals.
*At the present time (November 2011), the US State Department is not issuing B-1 visas to non-US medical students for the purpose
of clinical training in US hospitals. The University is in continuing discussions with the US State Department to address this issue. Until
further notice, with the exception of Canadian students, all non-US SGU students will be placed in UK and Caribbean affiliated hospitals
for their clinical training program. Canadian SGU students currently appear to be unaffected by this issue, however this is subject to
change without notice and will be addressed accordingly if necessary.

Our Mission
School of Medicine Programs
To provide an international, culturally diverse environment in which students learn
the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for postgraduate training in the health
professions while being inspired to develop compassion, curiosity, tolerance,
and commitment to patients and society, dedication to lifelong learning, and an
understanding of the vital role of research in health care.
12
With its dedication to a universal model of education,
the School of Medicine at St. George’s University offers
a comprehensive program of study to accommodate the
academic backgrounds and professional aspirations of
students from all over the world.
Doctor of Medicine
Students wishing to achieve the Doctor of Medicine
degree may enter the premedical program during one
of three premedical years, or the four-year Doctor of
Medicine degree program beginning with the first year of
Basic Medical Sciences, which is when most students from
North America begin. Students who begin their studies
in the premedical program must meet the program’s
academic standards to be promoted into the first year of
the four-year medical program. Students pursuing the
Doctor of Medicine degree will study in Grenada and will
complete clinical training in one of our affiliated centers
in the United States or the United Kingdom.
Keith B. Taylor Global Scholars Program
The School of Medicine offers an option for medical
students to spend the first year of the four-year
Doctor of Medicine degree program on the campus
of Northumbria University in the United Kingdom as
part of the Keith B. Taylor Global Scholars Program
(KBTGSP). A Diploma of Higher Education in Medical
Sciences is awarded by the School of Applied Sciences
at Northumbria University upon successful completion
of the first year. Students continue the second year of
the medical program in Grenada and complete clinical
training in one of our affiliated centers in the United
States or the United Kingdom. Students of the KBTGSP
who may wish, at any time in their professional career,
to become registered to practice medicine in the UK,
must spend one academic year of clinical training in
SGUSOM’s affiliated hospital in Grenada. UK General
Medical Council requires that foreign medical graduates
seeking UK registration complete at least 50% of their
medical degree—at least two years out of the four years’
standard duration of the course—in the country
in which
the degree is granted.
MD/Dual Degree Programs
Students pursuing a Doctor of Medicine degree at
St. George’s University may simultaneously earn
other degrees.
Bachelor of Science/MD
Those who enter the University in the early stages of
the premedical program (the first or second year of the
premedical program) may earn a bachelor’s degree
upon acceptance into and completion of the first year of
the four-year medical program if the qualifications for a
bachelor’s degree are met.
MD/Master of Science and
MD/Master of Public Health
Students who wish to enhance their educational
experience and broaden their career opportunities may
simultaneously earn a graduate degree in Public Health,
Anatomy, Microbiology and its related concentrations,
or scientific research in specific disciplines. These dual
graduate degrees require students to study for at least
one extra term in Grenada.
MD/Master of Business Administration
Students who wish to focus on managing community
wellness and broaden their focus of study may
simultaneously earn a Master of Business Administration
degree in Multi-Sector Health Management. This dual
degree option requires an additional semester of study
to complete the basic medical sciences curriculum.
Independent Graduate
Degree Programs
Through its Graduate Studies Program, the School of
Medicine offers master’s degree programs in Public
Health, Microbiology, Bioethics, Tropical Medicine,
and Anatomy. The School also offers PhD programs in
Microbiology and Anatomy.
Doctor of Medicine
Premedical Program
The premedical program is delivered on the True Blue
campus in Grenada, West Indies. Students accepted into
the premedical program have been accepted into the
academic track to the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree.
These years of study incorporate basic undergraduate
courses in reading, writing, and mathematics with the
necessary science foundation courses for a well-rounded
education. The premedical program curriculum is
designed as a firm foundation for the advanced studies
offered later in the four-year Doctor of Medicine
degree program. The Committee on Admission places
the applicants into the first, second, or third year of
the premedical program according to the applicant’s
academic background. Those who enter the first or
second year of the premedical program begin with
courses in Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Physics, and
also include General Education and Arts and Humanities
courses. Mastery of English and study skills are also
emphasized.
The third year of the premedical program consists of
upper-level Biomedical and Behavioral Science courses
designed to strengthen students’ premedical sciences
foundation and learning development program to
enhance the opportunity for success in advanced
medical studies. The Supplemental Instruction Model
of peer learning, as well as peer review groups and
mentoring are offered for Science courses taught within
the premedical program. Throughout all years of the
premedical program, there is a strong focus on study
skills development and academic enhancement.
Students who complete the premedical program with
a grade point average (GPA) of 3.2 or better and pass
the Premedical Science Comprehensive Examination
(PMSCE) are promoted into the first year of the four-year
Doctor of Medicine degree program. Additionally, any
US citizen or US permanent resident is required to take
the MCAT examination and have the scores reported to
the school. Students who do not hold a first degree and
who wish to obtain a bachelor’s degree in the course of
their studies may be eligible to do so. Evaluation of prior
educational background will determine eligibility and
appropriate placement within the BS/MD program.
Preprofessional Development
During the premedical program, students may participate
in the Preprofessional Experience Program (PEP) or
the Community Linked Research and Development
Program (CLRDP). These programs have been designed
to encourage students in the premedical program to
become more informed about their intended profession
from an early point in their medical studies. These
programs support career and personal development
through participation in health fairs, physician
shadowing, health education, advocacy programs,
community health programs, and research.
Medical Program
The program for the four-year Doctor of Medicine
(MD) degree consists of a 157-week curriculum. Most
students complete the program in four calendar years.
The program is divided into nine terms of 16 to 18
weeks each, requiring five academic years of study. Each
academic year consists of 32 to 36 weeks. During the first
two years, which cover the Basic Sciences, students study
on the True Blue campus in Grenada. Students are also
given the option to enroll in the Keith B. Taylor Global
Scholars Program, which offers the first year of Basic
Sciences on the campus of Northumbria University in
the United Kingdom. During the last two clinical years,
students move on to study at the University’s clinical
centers and affiliated hospitals in the United States, the
United Kingdom, and/or Grenada.

The Basic Sciences
The first two years of the Doctor of Medicine degree program
concentrate on the traditional basic science disciplines.
Laboratory experience is an integral part of these first
two years, along with small group discussions designed for
problem-based learning and early integration of Basic Sciences
into the clinical experience.
Clinical skills begin in the first term with various Basic Sciences
courses teaching specific components of clinical skills. Part of
gross anatomy focuses on surface anatomy and living anatomy,
which is a basis of much of physical diagnosis. Physical
diagnosis continues in the second term in neuroscience and
physiology. Clinical skills taught in the fourth term is a formal
segment on communication skills and physical diagnosis,
including signs and symptoms. In Term 5, the Department
of Clinical Skills teaches Introduction to Clinical Medicine,
which involves exercises in communications skills, visits to the
Grenada General Hospital and outpatient settings, as well as
small groups on campus to discuss history taking, physical
examination, and generating a problem list for a given patient.
Many of the clinical skills laboratory sessions use standardized
patients. The on-campus sessions are conducted in a simulated
hospital setting to make use of the new technologies for
recording group and individual sessions employing the B-Line
Medical® laboratory systems. The gross anatomy laboratory in
Grenada is amply supplied with cadavers for use in teaching
skills. In addition, sessions in the Simulation Laboratory are
provided for each student. The microbiology, pathology, and
histology laboratories have extensive collections of microscopic
and gross preparations which can be used for learning and
assessment. In the Keith B. Taylor Global Scholars Program,
the anatomy labs at Northumbria University use plastinated
cadavers, whole and part, which are specially prepared to
utilize the latest, state-of-the-art preservation technologies.
Labs are set up to utilize our up-to-date array of audio/visual
and computerized materials in all subjects. Students progress
in clinical skills and applications of science to medicine is
monitored by Objective Structured Practical Examinations
(OSPE) given at the end of the first and second term and the
Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) which
examines the students skills in communication, history taking
and physical examination of patients.
Molecular genetics, cell biology, immunology, and
neuroscience are emphasized within a framework of
traditional disciplines such as anatomy, physiology,
pharmacology, and pathology. In Term 5, students enroll in
courses in pharmacology and pharmacokinetics, and also
courses in pathophysiology that review all of the basic sciences
comprehensively in a clinical context under each organ
system. A new course has been added called Basic Sciences
Foundation for Clinical Reasoning, which will be taught in
a modified team-based learning setup where students will
be actively recapitulating concepts of basic sciences to solve
clinical problems. The Basic Sciences courses use didactic
lectures, laboratory instruction, supplemental instruction,
case-based learning, question-based reviews, small group
tutorials, peer teaching, and computer-assisted instruction.
Basic Sciences and Clinical faculty present clinical correlations
throughout all five terms. The School of Medicine offers a
series of courses entitled Medicine in Society, which is taught
throughout the first three terms. These courses focus on
gender, ethnic, and behavioral considerations affecting disease
treatment and prevention, including psychosocial, cultural,
occupational, environmental factors and public health issues
such as substance addictions and health care delivery systems.
Medicine in Society is made up of the following courses:
Term 1: Bioethics and the Professional: Medicine in Society I
Term 2: Topics in Community and Preventive Medicine: Medicine in Society II
Term 3: MODULE: Behavioral Sciences and Medicine
In addition, selectives are offered to qualified students by various
departments in the Basic Sciences. The School’s curriculum
emphasizes the international aspects of medical education by
providing students with the opportunity to visit local hospitals
and clinics on the island of Grenada. Student participation in
community health research projects is also encouraged.
In order to assess medical knowledge , the University requires
that all students must sit the Basic Science Comprehensive
Examination I (BSCE I) at the end of their first academic year,
and the BSCE II near the completion of the Basic Sciences. In
order to assess clinical skills and application of basic science
to medicine, the University requires all students to take the
Objective Structured Practical Examination during their first
year and Objective Structured Clinical Examination towards
the end of their second year.
The Clinical Years
The St. George’s University approach to clinical education
provides students with the opportunity to learn medicine
in some of the best and best-known hospitals in the world.
Located in the United States and the United Kingdom, some
of these hospitals have been designated by the University
as Clinical Centers. A Clinical Center is a hospital or group
of hospitals able to provide at least four of the five core
rotations, train 80–100 students at all times, and offer subinternships, primary care, and elective rotations. The Clinical
Centers allow students to complete all of their clinical
training at one site if they wish.
The clerkships at these hospitals conform to the curriculum,
course descriptions, and educational goals of St. George’s
University School of Medicine, and are monitored carefully
through site visits and faculty meetings. All core rotations
and sub-internships must be taken only in those hospitals
with which the University has an active, written affiliation
agreement, and in which there are appropriate St. George’s
University clinical faculty members. Students are placed in
hospitals with approved post-graduate training programs in the
subjects to be studied. Any other hospital in which electives are
taken must also have approved postgraduate programs in the
areas of training offered.
In the Clinical Years, students are taught by over 1,000
clinicians. In addition to clinical professors, the School of
Medicine appoints a Director of Medical Education at every
Doctor of Medicine
Four-Year Doctor of Medicine Program
17
Clinical Center and affiliated hospital, and Clerkship Directors
in each of the core clinical specialties studied there. Site visits
from the Office of Clinical Studies to affiliated hospitals occur
regularly. This allows the School of Medicine administration
to meet with students and faculty throughout the Clinical
Years. Departmental meetings are held at least twice a year
to maintain and improve the strength of the departmental
structure and to support ongoing evaluation of the curriculum,
program delivery, evaluation, and testing procedures.
In the Clinical Years, students are taught by an educational
method based on the practical experience found in hospitals
and clinics under careful supervision by practicing physicians.
The knowledge acquired in the Basic Sciences serves as a basis
for the facts and concepts necessary to understand the practice
of modern medicine. In the Clinical Years, students develop
the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to continue into
postgraduate training. For all core rotations, the University
has required reading assignments and the hospitals offer small
group teaching sessions, conferences, and lectures. Clinical
skills introduced in Grenada now become a major component
of students’ education. In the hospital, students are involved in
the care of patients and develop diagnostic decision-making,
history, physical examination, and test interpretation skills.
Students learn to communicate with patients, their families,
and other health care workers, and are expected to grow into
their roles as professionals.

During the Clinical Years, we emphasize responsibility,
maturity, and compassion as important attributes in the
development of professional excellence. Students are expected
to learn how to conduct themselves in the professional role of
physician and are judged on their ability to take responsibility,
relate to and work harmoniously with professional colleagues,
exhibit maturity in conduct on the wards, and demonstrate the
disposition of a mature and qualified physician.
Curriculum
The third year of the four-year medical program consists of
42 weeks of core rotations. These are structured experiences
required of all students, regardless of where they train. The
core rotations consist of 12 weeks of Medicine; 12 weeks
of Surgery; and 6 weeks each of Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and
Obstetrics/Gynecology. These core rotations traditionally form
the educational foundation for all medical students regardless
of future specialty.
In addition to the core rotations, all students must complete
four weeks of Family Medicine, a four-week Medicine
subinternship, a four-week Medicine elective, a four-week
Pediatric sub-internship or elective, and 22 weeks of additional
electives in order to graduate.
Family Medicine: (four weeks) This mandatory rotation can
be done out of network at any hospital with an approved
ACGME residency in Family Medicine. The Family Medicine
rotation focuses on learning aspects of acute medical
problems commonly seen in outpatient settings, such as
respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, psychiatric, and
genitorurinary illnesses, as well as hypertension, diabetes,
pain management, and common mild musculoskeletal
injuries. Subsets of patients seen in this setting include the
clinically healthy, the socioeconomically disadvantaged, the
elderly, high medical utilizers, immigrants, and those with
chronic or terminal diseases.
A sub-internship in Medicine continues the educational goals
and objectives of the core rotation, but at a higher level of
responsibility. Sub-interns share patient responsibility and
participate in regularly scheduled night and weekend calls.
Sub-Interns follow a limited number of patients very closely
throughout the diagnostic workup and management. In this
way, sub-internships prepare students for internships and first
postgraduate years. A four-week Medicine sub-internship, fourweek Medicine elective, and four-week Pediatric sub-internship
or elective are mandatory for all students.
Electives are offered at the University’s Clinical Centers
and affiliated hospitals. Additional electives are available at
hospitals outside the University systems, but these are subject
to the review and approval of the Dean of the School of
Medicine. Students who seek licensure in the United States
should carefully note that the licensing boards of some states
require that students take electives only at affiliated hospitals.
This will also be true in other countries. The University
requires that each clerkship (whether core or elective) be
completed at a hospital with an approved post-graduate
training program in that specialty. Since licensing regulations
may vary from state to state, and from one year to the next,
this matter must be considered as students devise elective
programs. Each elective is usually at least four weeks long.
General Strategy: The principal objective of the elective
program is to provide the best preparation for students’
career choices, while coordinating balanced yet broad clinical
experiences. In recognition of the individual plans and needs
of all students, choices of both subject matter and course
location are made by students with advice from supervising
clinical teachers and with the approval of the Dean.
Details about each of the core rotations are found under the
departmental descriptions.

St. George’s University School of Medicine offers several
paths for medical students to increase their knowledge in
one area of medical study while pursuing the Doctor of
Medicine degree.
(CEPH) has granted accreditation for five years to St.
George’s University’s Master of Public Health degree
program. This makes St. George’s University only the
fourth institution outside of the United States to be
accredited by CEPH and the only university in the
Caribbean to hold this coveted distinction.
Bachelor of Science/MD
MD/Dual Degree Programs
Students who enter the University during the first or
second year of the premedical program may earn a
bachelor’s degree upon acceptance into and completion
of their first year of the four-year Doctor of Medicine
degree program.
MD/Master of Public Health
The Department of Public Health and Preventive
Medicine administers the graduate public health degree
in the Doctor of Medicine/Master of Public Health
(MD/MPH) program. The department also delivers
the Community Preventive Medicine component of the
Doctor of Medicine degree program.
For dual MD/MPH degree-seeking students, 11 credits
from the Medical curriculum will be included towards
the MPH degree. These credits together with the 1-credit
Seminar Series in Community Health offered by the
Department will form the basis of the MD/MPH degree
track specialization. Students are required to complete 31
credits of graduate public health coursework, including
the field-based practicum, for a total of 42 credits and the
award of an MPH degree.
Students who enter during the August term complete
Term 1 and Term 2 of the medical program, beginning
the MPH program in the Summer and continuing
in the Fall. These students then resume their Term 3
coursework of the medical program in the following year
before completing the MPH coursework in the following
Spring term. These students then complete their
practicum at the end of the Spring term and resume their
medical training in the Fall.
MD students who enter during the January term
complete Terms 1 and 2 of the MPH program during the
Spring and Summer terms respectively, and begin their
medical program, in the Fall of that year. In the Spring
term they will take 3 credits of MPH together with Term 2
of the Medical program and continue with their medical
program with the practicum occurring at a later date.
Students seeking admission to the MD/MPH program
will first be reviewed for acceptance into the four-year
medical program. Upon acceptance, the Office of
Admission will forward the application to the Department
of Public Health and Preventive Medicine for review and
consideration.

MD/Master of Science
The dual degree program offers opportunities for
research in the areas of Anatomy, Bioethics, Ecology,
Immunology, Microbiology, and Tropical Medicine.
The curriculum for the dual Doctor of Medicine/Master
of Science (MD/MSc) degrees usually reflects areas
of investigative research that may enhance preventive
medicine and health care delivery in Grenada, other
Caribbean states, and internationally. Medical students
who wish to obtain this dual degree decelerate the
preclinical medical program to facilitate the MSc
program.
The research carried out in this dual degree program is
partially supported by the Windward Islands Research
and Education Foundation (WINDREF), a nonprofit
organization at St. George’s University. Depending on the
specific area of research, studies may be conducted within
WINDREF, in departmental laboratories, or in approved
laboratories at other universities or institutes. The MSc
degree will be awarded on the successful completion of
10 required credits from the preclinical medical program
and all prescribed graduate-level courses as outlined in
the curriculum.
Admission criteria for entry into a master’s degree
program is an undergraduate degree from an approved
university; for admission to the PhD program, a master’s
degree from an approved university is required. Course
requirements for the specific degree programs are
outlined on the succeeding pages and more detailed
information may be obtained from the Office of the
Dean of the Graduate Studies Program. Application
forms in addition to course and program details can be
obtained from the University website at www.sgu.edu.
MD/Master of Business Administration
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) offered
through St. George’s University’s Centre for Graduate
Studies Program offers a US-style master’s degree, which is
project-centered and tool-driven, designed for experienced
managers and professionals from diverse backgrounds and
cultures, and focuses on managing the dimensions and
complexities of community wellness, including economic
enterprise. Combing a creative mix of blended learning
methods, the program is taught primarily online to
international project teams, with short residencies on the
True Blue campus supplementing the multi-mode delivery.
The dual MD/MBA in Multi-Sector Health Management
requires 34 credits of MBA courses and two separate one-week
residencies in Grenada. This would require an additional
semester of study in Grenada to complete the basic medical
sciences curriculum.
Students seeking admission to the MD/MBA program will first
be reviewed for acceptance into the four-year Doctor of Medicine
degree program. Upon acceptance, the Office of Admission will
forward the application to the Office of Graduate Studies for
review and consideration.
Acceptance into the MBA program is based on the following
requirements: A bachelor’s degree, BA or BS from a regionally
accredited university or college; a competitive GPA, unless
exempted by the Committee on Admission.
MD/Dual Degree Programs
Over a 12-month period, participants complete a 34-credit
program that equips them to manage every aspect of small- to
medium-sized organizations, in the private or social sectors,
especially in international settings. A distinctive holistic
approach underlies learning that reaches across disciplines and
sectors, seeking the total health of communities, and is a unique
feature of our MBA program
23

Independent Graduate Degree Programs
Master of Public Health
The vision of the Department of Public Health and
Preventive Medicine at St. George’s University is to
be a dynamic regional and international center of
excellence in public health education, service, research,
and scholarly activities; attracting students, faculty, and
partners of diverse background who contribute to the
strengthening and empowerment of communities, in an
ever changing environment. The vision is supported by
the mission to cultivate, produce, and disseminate public
health knowledge, to train practitioners, and collaborate
with partners and communities to promote public health
regionally and internationally through an integration
of education, service, research, and scholarly activities.
This mission is accomplished through community
empowerment, collaboration, and team concept, offering
continued professional educational opportunities,
translating research and knowledge through high quality
research-to-practice applications, producing graduates
of high quality, and aligning the program with the
community needs. The department offers its graduate
program within the School of Medicine, administers
the Community Preventive Medicine component of the
Doctor of Medicine program and collaborates with the
School of Veterinary Medicine.
The Master of Public Health (MPH) program offers the
freestanding MPH, as well as the MD/MPH dual degree,
giving students the option to specialize in one of three
tracks: Epidemiology, Environmental and Occupational
Health, or Health Behavior and Policy. A fourth track
offered in collaboration with the School of Veterinary
Medicine, Veterinary Public Health, is restricted to DVM/
MPH dual degree students. As of Spring 2011, the MPH
program requires 42 credits of graduate public health
coursework. Of the total credits, 15 are completed
in public health core courses, 6 in program-required
courses, 12 in track- required courses, 3 in elective
courses, 3 in the field-based practicum; and 3 in the
culminating Capstone Seminar. Students accepted into
the 48-credit program for Fall 2010 have the option of
completing the 42-credit program.
The department is also the academic home for many
public health practitioners who serve as our core,
adjunct, and visiting faculty. Many of these members
have years of public health experience and continue
to engage in teaching, research, service and workforce
development activities. The program allows its faculty
and students to pursue interdisciplinary opportunities in
scholarly activities, service and work force development.
The faculty is encouraged to participate in research
collaboration with other public health institutions and
have existing links with the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), National Institute of Health
(NIH), the Caribbean Health Research Council (CHRC),
University of the West Indies and many others. Service
links exist with the Grenada’s Ministries of Health
and Agriculture, as well as regional and international
agencies, such as the Pan American Health Organization
(PAHO), Caribbean Community and Common Market
(CARICOM), the United Nation Children’s Fund
(UNICEF), and the United Nation’s Development
Fund for Women (UNIFEM). All of these dimensions
contribute to the academic experiences that our students
receive within the program.
The US accreditation authority for public health
programs, The Council on Education for Public Health
(CEPH) has granted accreditation for five years to St.
George’s University’s Master of Public Health degree
program. This makes St. George’s University only the
fourth institution outside of the United States to be
accredited by CEPH and the only university in the

Honor Code
General Rules and Regulations
St. George’s University School of Medicine is an
institution of medical education dedicated to a high
standard of ethics and academic achievement. It is
the duty of the University community to nurture safe,
competent physicians who exhibit professional maturity
and sound moral character. To this end, the University
has instituted an Honor Code to which all students must
adhere upon matriculation at the School.
As a member of the student body of St. George’s
University School of Medicine, I agree:
1. To adhere to the University’s policy of maintaining a
high standard of honor and academic integrity.
2. To refrain from violations of these ideals, for example,
by cheating, plagiarizing, lying, or stealing.
Health Form
The University Health Form is comprised of three parts:
Part I—Health History; Part II—Physical Examination;
and Part III—TB Screening and Immunization Record.
All three parts, filled out completely and accurately, must
be submitted prior to registration at the University. After
a leave of absence (LOA) for medical reasons, a new
medical clearance might be required for re-matriculation.
Due to public health regulations, students’ health
histories, physical examination reports, and
immunization records must be current and accurate in
order for students to do clinical rotations at hospitals in
the United States and the United Kingdom. Students
will not be admitted to the clinical program unless their
health forms are complete, current, and cleared.
3. To accept the responsibility of reporting such
wrongdoing upon witness. It is understood that any
breach of this honor code necessitates disciplinary
action, subject to the discretion of University officials,
the procedures for which are outlined in the SGU
Student Manual.
This information is also required for postgraduate
training and when joining a hospital’s medical staff as
a fully licensed physician. Therefore, a copy of all this
material, including updates, should be kept by students at
all times and arrangements for current physicals should
be made at appropriate intervals to eliminate delays in
academic and career progress.
Once signed, adherence to this code is required and
expected for the duration of students’ matriculation at
the University.
Outside Employment
Promotion, Progress,
and Academic Retention
The Committee for Satisfactory Academic Progress and
Professional Standards (CAPPS) reviews the records of all
students twice a year. Students are evaluated in terms of
their academic performance, professional attitude, and
moral character. The faculty reserves the right to refuse
promotion to students who are believed to be unsuited
for continued study at the University. Information
detailing promotion, progress, and academic retention
guidelines are delineated in the SGU Student Manual on
the University website members center.
Students are not permitted to obtain outside employment
during the official school term without the written
consent of the appropriate dean. Students who are
not citizens of Grenada may not obtain employment
in Grenada unless specifically permitted to do so by
authorization of the applicable Grenadian authorities.

of Medicine combined degree program (Baccalaureate/
MD). A focal point of the class is to equip students with the
skills needed to assess, understand, and critically evaluate
published medical research. The course begins by reviewing
standard research design and common pitfalls. It then
covers other relevant topics, such as methodology, ethics,
online research resources, survey design, and basic data
interpretation. Students work together in small groups
to produce a research paper and present a poster to the
campus community.
Introduction to Psychology
PSYC 201
Introduction to Psychology covers systematic and
experimental approaches to understanding human behavior
and cognition. The course is an in-depth introduction to
the science and profession of psychology. It will present
what is known about human nature, how it reveals general
principles of the functioning of the brain, and the behavior
of individuals and groups.
Abnormal Psychology
PSYC 302
The course examines the etiology, epidemiology,
description/classification, and treatment of disordered
behavior. Major mental disorders are systematically
examined from several different theoretical viewpoints,
including psychodynamic, learning, cognitive, physiological,
and humanistic/existential. A survey of psychological
disorders is provided and students are introduced to the
DSM-IV classification system. Treatment approaches based
upon the major theoretical perspectives are covered and
empirically based treatment outcome studies are reviewed.
Doctor of Medicine Course Descriptions
Social Science and Medicine
SSCI 412
38
This course examines several aspects of medicine. First, it
examines how the health care system is a social institution
with norms and belief systems that may differ in other
cultures. Second, the doctor-patient relationship is
examined and the concepts of doctor communication,
patient adherence, and compliance, in addition to types
of health care delivery, are highlighted. Third, behavior
and how it affects patient health is examined. Specifically,
the course discusses stress, personality, drug use, alcohol,
smoking, diet, and pain management as important factors
contributing to a person’s health. As fewer people die from
infectious diseases and more people die from diseases (such
as cancer) that may be prevented through a healthy lifestyle,
understanding patients’ lifestyles outside of the hospital is
imperative. Overall, the course discusses health and illness
within the biopsychosocial model that is replacing the
biomedical model in medicine.
Doctor of Medicine Program
The medical program curriculum is divided into two
segments, the Basic Medical Sciences and the Clinical Years.
Basic Medical Sciences Courses
The following descriptions are overviews of the Basic
Medical Sciences courses. The subject matter and course
objectives will continually change to reflect advances and
new directions within the discipline, as well as growth and
new dimensions within the faculty and academic community
of the School.
Anatomical Sciences
Marios Loukas, MD, PhD, Chair
Histology and Cell Biology
ANAT 531
This course presents the structure and function of
the human body as revealed by light and electron
microscopy, as well as cell biological techniques, such as
immunocytochemistry. The course commences with a
discussion of the cell and its internal structures. Students
are introduced to the concepts of how cells interact with
each other and their external environment. Cell signaling,
cell secretion, the cell cycle, and the extracellular matrix are
some of the topics presented in the analysis of cell structure
and function.
Students’ mastery of cell structure and function leads to
the organization of cells into the four basic tissues of the
body. Each of these is presented with emphasis on the role
of cells in tissue organization and function. The cellular
nature of the tissues and the interactions of cells with the
extracellular matrix are stressed so that students have a
firm understanding of the concept of a histological tissue.
An understanding of the four basic tissues is paramount to
students becoming complete and modern physicians.
The basic tissues of the body are then arranged into the
organs and organ systems. Once again, the cellular aspects
of organ structure and function are emphasized because
cells in the various organs are the main contributors to the
function of those organs.
The emphasis on the cell in histology and cell biology cannot
be overly stressed since all diseases occur at the cellular
level. Thus, students must understand the basic science of
the cell and its mechanisms before they can understand
how pathologies work. In addition, cell structure and
function as presented in this course serves as preparation
for the elaboration of these concepts in the physiology
and pharmacology courses, and will prepare students to
be lifelong learners of medicine. The students are taught
learning skills and gain knowledge about information that is
an absolute necessity for the modern physician.
The course in human gross and developmental anatomy
consists of approximately 160 scheduled class hours devoted
to cultivating an appreciation of a three-dimensional visual
image of the human body and its development. Formal
lectures present integrated general and applied anatomy,
imaging, clinical anatomy, developmental anatomy, and
clinical embryology. Specific objectives are provided to
facilitate learning, in addition to reading the required text
and anatomical atlas. All lectures and laboratory sessions
are available through the University website on ANGEL,
which also provides online testing. Both midterm and final
examinations are in a USMLE board format.
• Laboratory Exercises
Study of the cadaver is achieved through prosected
cadaveric specimens and follows a traditional sequence
of the back, upper extremity, thorax, and abdomen prior
to midterm. The sequence continues with the pelvis,
perineum, lower extremity, head, and neck for the final
examination. Instructions for studying the prosections are
given in a prosection manual. Small groups of no more
than four students are rotated through several prosected
specimens with the guidance of faculty.
• Small Group Discussion
The Human Gross and Developmental Anatomy course
is further highlighted by several two-hour small group
discussion sessions. With the guidance of clinical tutors,
small groups of no more than eight students per group
have the opportunity to learn the initial steps of physical
examination, such as inspection, percussion, auscultation,
and so forth, through a problem-based environment. In
addition, relevant core clinical cases are presented to the
students in order to facilitate basic interpretation of clinical
anatomy, congenital defects, contemporary imaging,
professional competencies, team-based interpersonal skills,
and research articles. The course is specifically designed to
enhance clinical integration of Basic Sciences material.
Behavioral Sciences
John P. Pettus, PhD, Co-Chair
David L. Brown, MD, PhD, Co-Chair
Behavioral Sciences and Medicine
BEHS 640
The course introduces students to the fundamental
principles of human behavior and development, with
particular emphasis upon the role of behavior within the
context of illness and the medical encounter. Theories
contributing to the understanding of normal human
development and psychopathology are examined.
An overview of several major psychological theories of
human behavior is provided, including psychodynamic,
behavioral, cognitive, and biological models. Exposition
of these systems leads to discussion of a number of topics,
including systems of psychotherapy, behavior modification,
biological/genetic bases of behavior, psychological
assessment, complementary/alternative treatment
approaches, and psychopharmacological intervention. An
evidence-based approach is adopted in assessing treatment
effectiveness, and data supporting the importance of a
biopsychosocial approach to patient care is presented.
There is an emphasis upon behavioral medicine/health
psychology and the role of cognitive/behavioral approaches
in the modification of risky health behavior. Special
attention is given to the crucial role of cultural factors
within the doctor-patient encounter and health care setting,
as well as to the importance of cultural competence in the
provision of medical care. The role of the family is noted
within this context, and life-disrupting disorders, such
as substance abuse, domestic violence, and child abuse
are discussed with reference to the physician’s role and
responsibility, in terms of detection and intervention.
An additional theme of the course relates to the importance
of preventive medicine. To develop this concept, students
participate in lectures and group exercises in biostatistics,
epidemiology, and health systems. Within the small
group setting, students apply the tools of biostatistics and
epidemiology to selected public health problems, with an
emphasis on the goal of reading the medical literature
critically. How behavior, environment, and politics influence
health in different societies is also considered—an
international comparison of the health systems of several
countries is provided and factors underlying existing
disparities in health care are explored. Current issues of
health care financing and delivery are discussed, along
with the important changes in insurance systems, cost
containment, and different types of medical practice.
Finally, the fundamental concepts of law that relate to the
medical profession are covered in this course. The concerns
of society in the legislative, judicial, and administrative
regulation of medical practice are emphasized. An overview
is provided of the current and probable future expansion
of society’s role in the regulation of medical practice of
medicine. The basic principles of malpractice are discussed,
in addition to topics, such as informed consent, medical
ethics, and confidentiality. The course surveys the history of
medical ethics and compares the major perspectives on such
issues as the conflicts between different types of benefits
to patients, the duties of a physician, patient autonomy,
termination of pregnancy, end-of-life decisions, social ethics,
and rationing of services. This module within the course
comprises the third component of the “Medicine in Society”
course series. This section of the course comprises of part III
of the “Medicine in Society” course series.

BSCE examinations. The first half of the course provides a
background for understanding acid-base relations, structure,
and function of macromolecules, the role of enzymes, and
introduction to metabolism and genetics. The mechanisms
of biochemical reactions involved in energy production,
biosynthesis, and degradation, with attention being given
to their roles in disease, are also discussed. In this half
of the term, metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids and
their correlation is discussed. There is emphasis on the key
enzymes and regulatory steps in metabolic pathways, which
are important in understanding the regulation of metabolic
pathways in different physiological and pathological
situations. Hormonal regulation of energy metabolism
in the fed and fasting state is discussed. In the second
half of the term, nitrogen metabolism is discussed. This
half of the term is dominated by integrative and clinical
subjects. We present and explore the biochemical roles of
the major organs of the body together with an overview
of the metabolic interplay between organs. Principles of
energy balance, as well as the role of vitamins and minerals
in maintaining good health are introduced. Many topics of
clinical significance are discussed like coagulation, plasma
proteins, jaundice, porphyries, diabetes, obesity, membrane
diseases, under-nutrition, and clinical acid-base disorders.
In the second half of the term, students study a block
of molecular biology lectures, which include structure,
function, biosynthesis of RNA and DNA, protein
biosynthesis, gene expression, introduction to genomics,
and the use of molecular genetics in medicine. This
ensures that all students have an understanding of the
basic concepts and techniques of molecular biology, to be
able to fully participate in the genetic-based medicine of
the new millennium. Students will also participate in small
group discussions, which are based on a paper clinical case.
These sessions are facilitated by students with background
in biochemistry or who are high achievers on the midterm
exam. The groups are supervised by faculty members.
The Biochemistry course is a well-balanced course which
teaches the science of biochemistry in a clinical and
physiological context and addresses the needs of medical
students in the 21st century.

This course reviews basic genetics and its application to
the study of inherited disorders. It begins with a study of
the chromosomes and the disorders that result from their
aberrations. Exploration of Mendelian and polygenic
inheritance follows, illustrated by representatives of the
major heritable disorders of man. There is coverage
of molecular and clinical genetics, including prenatal
diagnosis and genetic screening. The course concludes with
introductions to growth points in modern genetics, cancer
genetics, gene therapy, and the Human Genome Project.
Bioethics
Cheryl Macpherson, PhD, Chair
Our Bioethics Department is charged with centralizing and
strengthening training in ethical and professional thought
and action. This department offers programs and courses
to stimulate critical thinking and ethical discourse across
disciplines, facilitate academic exchange, and contribute
to professional development of students, faculty, visiting
scholars, and Caribbean health professionals.
The department contributes to the White Coat Ceremony,
organizes lecture series, conducts Institutional Review Board
training, and coordinates the development of professionalism
on campus through the SGU Professionalism Panel and its
associated professionalism committees.
Bioethics and the Professional: Medicine in Society I
BIOE 501
This course aims to strengthen students’ ability to
recognize and critically analyze ethical concerns in medical
situations. It provides opportunities to develop professional
competencies and skills. Students will begin to access
credible information (medical informatics), formulate
and express reasoned opinions, manage uncertainty, and
communicate collegially.
Bioethics is a discipline grounded in the reasoning and
objectivity necessary to beneficial health outcomes and
patient satisfaction. It provides structure and tools with
which to address the numerous moral conflicts in medicine.
Bioethical concepts and terminology introduced in the
course center on professionalism, principles, and theories,
which are applied to patient scenarios and current medical
controversies. Interactive participation occurs through
group discussions, online activities, and during lectures.
The course encourages students to monitor their own
professional development. It is anticipated that passing this
course will motivate and enable students to reflect on their
own professional competencies and duties as these evolve
during different stages of their medical education.
Clinical Skills
Winston Mitchell, MBBS, FACS, Chair
Communication Skills and Physical Diagnosis
CLSK 653
This course instructs students in communication skills that
they will need as medical students and physicians in order
to relate to senior physicians, colleagues, patients and their
families, and other health care professionals. The course
prepares students for their role in addressing the common
problems found in delivering health care, for example,
providing health care instruction and delivering “bad news.”
Students will develop both oral and written communication
skills and learn the components of the standard history and
the art of presenting cases. The physical diagnosis portion
builds on the clinical skills learned in the first year of the
four-year MD program. The course uses both lectures and
laboratory sessions to teach physical examination skills. The
laboratory groups consist of small groups of students. The
techniques of physical examination are taught by videotape
demonstration, live demonstration, and supervised practice
on fellow students.
Introduction to Clinical Medicine
CLSK 655
Medical Immunology
MICR 580
This course teaches students in small groups at the hospital
or an outpatient setting, as well as on campus using
volunteer patients. The overall objective of the Introduction
to Clinical Medicine course is to ensure that students
understand the process of taking histories, conducting
physical examinations on patients, and organizing their
findings into a written or oral presentation. Students should
develop sufficient interpersonal and clinical skills in this
course in order to integrate rapidly into the clinical hospital
setting when they start their clinical terms. This course
requires students to develop clinical thought processes
leading to the art and science of problem solving in clinical
medicine.
This course is structured in two distinct sections. The
first section is designed to provide students with an
understanding of major elements and principles of basic
immunology, with an emphasis on the interaction between
innate and adaptive immunity. The second section is
Translational Medicine, designed to provide students with
an elementary background in various clinical disorders that
have an immunological basis. Students are introduced also
to novel immunological therapies in order to understand
their underlying basic science concepts.
David Lennon, PhD, Chair
Medical Microbiology
PATH 570
Medical microbiology is offered as a balanced combination
of formal classroom instruction, practical laboratory
experience and group-based exercises. Presentation of the
course is concurrent with pathology, and the two courses are
closely integrated, where feasible.
• Lectures
The didactic portion of the course is divided into two
consecutive sections. The first covers basic principles of
microbiology, including: classification and taxonomy,
microbial physiology and genetics, microbial control,
antibiotics, host-pathogen interactions and epidemiology.
Bacterial, fungal, viral and other infectious agents are
covered in this section. In the second section, human
pathogens are discussed according to the organ system
where they most often cause clinical disease. Clinical
vignettes are used to illustrate the epidemiology,
pathogenesis, virulence properties, symptoms, laboratory
diagnosis and control of the infectious agents.
• Laboratory
Basic microbiological principles covered in lecture
are reinforced by application in a laboratory setting.
Laboratory work includes the basic principles of microbial
staining, aseptic technique and isolation of infectious
agents. Students are exposed to many types of culture
media, have the opportunity to perform throat cultures
and obtain experience with rapid tests often administered
during a clinical office visit.
• Integrated Group Exercises
Group exercises give students active experience in several
areas of microbiology. Students: 1) create and work
through clinical cases 2) gain experience reading and
interpreting both review and research articles in the
scientific literature and 3) have the opportunity to develop
team building, communication and presentation skills.
Emphasis is balanced between parasitic infections that
frequent the tropics and those that are being increasingly
recognized in the temperate zones. Approximately half
of the course deals with medical protozoology, including
the amoebas, flagellates, ciliates, and sporozoa that are
capable of infecting living human tissue. The second part
of the course covers medical helminthology (the Nematoda,
Platyhelminthes, and Acanthocephala). Arthropods of
medical significance are also discussed. Presentations
of the various organisms emphasize the epidemiology,
symptomatology, pathogenesis, laboratory diagnosis, and
treatment of each.
•Laboratory
Lectures are supplemented by laboratory sessions that
include stool examinations for ova and cysts of parasites.
Slide presentations are used extensively in the consideration
of all the parasites.
Pathology
Shivayogi Bhusnurmath, MD, FRCPath, Co-Chair
Bharti Bhusnurmath, MBBS, MD, Co-Chair
Pathology
PATH 640
The Pathology course is taught in two segments—General
Pathology and Systemic Pathology. The main emphasis
of the course is on active learning by students based on
clinically oriented lectures and daily clinical problem
solving by students in groups of ten during lab hours. This
is accomplished by targeted discussions using pathology
images (about 400) representing patients and clinical
vignettes with built-in questions. The images are posted
on the University website and made available to students.
Periodically, gross specimens and glass slides from current
hospital material are also discussed. The discussions are
closely monitored by the faculty and students are evaluated
on a daily basis.
The General Pathology segment deals with how tissues
respond to injury, cell death, inflammation, ischemia,
thrombosis, embolism, infarction, and so forth. It also
deals with response to infections, environmental pollutants,
and disease states related to abnormal immune responses.
Mechanisms of tumor development and how tumors spread
are studied under “neoplasia.” This is followed by a special
Doctor of Medicine Course Descriptions
Microbiology
Medical Parasitology
MICR 660

course on Molecular Pathology techniques as applied to
clinical practice.
The Systemic Pathology segment involves similar principles
but applied in detail to individual organ systems like
cardiovascular, respiratory, and so forth. It will also include
interpretation of laboratory data for some of the major
disease processes. A short course on Forensic Pathology
is taught in the Systemic Pathology module. Several
clinicopathological conferences, including difficult case
seminars, are also discussed by students.
Students are mandated to draw concept maps each week
and submit them for evaluation. A total of 480 test items
are administered through three quizzes and three exams,
including 105 based on images. All the questions are clinical
problem-solving MCQs.
• Laboratory
The lab sessions are conducted as group activities in
student groups of 10 to 12 monitored by a clinical tutor.
The students discuss gross and microscopic pathology
images, electron micrographs, radiographic images, and
clinical cases, which correlate with the concurrent lecture
manual. The process involves active learning with guided
discovery of etiology, pathogenesis, structural changes,
clinical symptoms and signs, relevant investigations, and
course of the disease for the common and prototype
diseases. The students are also encouraged to learn how to
distinguish between related entities.
Medical Nutrition
PATH 693
Medical Nutrition focuses on the relevance of nutrition in
the prevention and treatment of disease. Presented in this
course are those components of human pathophysiology
in which diet on the basis of current knowledge is believed
to be important in either a causative or contributory way.
The application of dietary knowledge to prevention of
disease and the management of established disease are also
discussed. Also addressed are clinical topics such as infant,
maternal, and geriatric nutrition; problems of obesity and
related subjects; and the principles of the management
of diseases such as diabetes mellitus, renal failure, and
atherosclerosis.
Doctor of Medicine Course Descriptions
Pathophysiology

Shivayogi R. Bhusnurmath, MD, FRCPath, Interim Chair
Pathophysiology
PATH 674
Pathophysiology is amalgamated into 18 uninterrupted
weeks of study. The objectives of the courses are structured
to explore why and how diseases occur, as well as to
develop students’ deductive reasoning and synthesis of
information skills. Understanding the process by which one
approaches disease(s), arrives at a diagnosis based upon
clinical information, and then applies this information to
the institution of appropriate therapeutic interventions is
the major goal. By presenting the course concomitantly
with Pharmacology and Introduction to Clinical Medicine
in an integrated fashion, the goals and objectives of the
course are achieved. This integration is further achieved by
the presentation of the “case of the week.” The “cases” are
prepared by the department faculty with the assistance of
visiting professors. Students meet in small groups to discuss
specific questions relative to each case. The lectures include
discussions on several clinical vignettes, which provide a basis
for exploring the basic science concepts to explain symptoms,
signs, investigations, and complications. In addition, about 50
USMLE Step 1-type questions are provided online as test and
study material on the topics of the week.
The course is divided into three six-week sections with
an examination at the end of each section. In addition,
the Natinonal Board of Medical Examiners (NBME)
Comprehensive Basic Science Examination (CBSE) is
given as part of the pathophysiology course. An organ
systems (cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology,
nephrology, hematology, endocrinology, dermatology, and
neurology) and interdisciplinary (clinical immunology,
rheumatology, infectious diseases, psychiatry, pediatrics,
obstetrics and gynecology, sexuality, clinical nutrition, and
oncology) approach is used. Lectures are delivered by
visiting professors or full-time faculty who are outstanding
clinicians/academicians in their fields. These lectures
present a cohesive pathophysiology course, which is
preparatory to students’ entry into the Clinical Years.
Basic Science Foundation for Clinical Reasoning
PATH 676
Student should be able to recapitulate the important basic
science concepts using clinical vignettes. It is a two-credit
course with two small group sessions usually on Fridays.
The lecture hour sessions will be in the format of modified
term-based learning. Students will be seated in groups of 12
to 14. Each group will be provided with a different clinical
vignette-related to the topics taught in the pathophysiology
course that week. A number of basic science-related
questions will be linked to the vignettes. The student groups
get 10 to 12 minutes to discuss and find answers to the
questions. At the end of that time, the plenary session will
start. One by one, each vignette and the related questions
are projected. The concerned group will respond with the
answers. The rest of the class can then join in with any other
relevant comments/disagreements. These sessions will be
supplemented by online tasks in the form of MCQs or a
similar format that the students will do under supervision.
This course should enable the students to actively learn the
application of Basic Sciences in the analysis and problem
solving of clinical vignettes.
Pharmacology
Leonardo Dasso, PhD, Chair
Pharmacology
PHAR 681
The primary objective of the Pharmacology course is to
provide the student with a solid basis for understanding
the pharmacology of therapeutic agents, and thus with a
foundation for future clinical decision making with respect
to pharmacological therapies.
The lecture sequence has been coordinated with the
Pathophysiology course and the schedules have been
subdivided into different subject blocks to facilitate learning
across disciplines.
Each lecture has well-defined learning objectives intended
to help students organize their study and prepare for
examinations.
For advanced discussion of selected topics, the class is
divided into small groups, and short clinical cases are
presented and discussed by students under the guidance of a
group facilitator.
Physiology and Neuroscience
Walter Kolbinger, PhD, Chair
Neuroscience
PHY 510
This course is an interdisciplinary study of the function
of the nervous system entailing almost simultaneously its
anatomy, histology, physiology, biochemistry, and some
pharmacology and pathophysiology. Whenever feasible, the
course presents concomitantly, rather than sequentially, the
basic structures, mechanisms, and functions of the various
interrelated neural systems. This knowledge is intended to
serve as a basis for understanding the effects of damage
to the nervous system as seen in general clinical medicine
and in specialties such as Neurology, Neurosurgery,
Psychiatry and Ophthalmology. The course further aims
to facilitate the development of professional competencies,
which include clinical reasoning, components of practical
clinical skills used in neurological examinations, basic
interpretation of modern imaging techniques, and teambased inter-personal skills, in particular through small
group practical sessions and interactive settings.
• Buzz Group Discussions of Clinical Cases
Buzz group discussions of clinical cases facilitate the
application of clinically relevant knowledge gained
during the preceding lectures. Participation in the case
discussions will enable students to develop their skills in
critical clinical thinking and reasoning. The discussions
are guided by faculty, while the class will split up into
small groups of 3 to 5 students each to discuss history and
examination, and to rationalize the diagnosis.
• Small Group Practical Sessions
Small group practical sessions of no more than six students
per group are targeted toward facilitating the awareness and
development of professional competencies, which include
clinical reasoning, components of clinical skills used in
neurological examinations, basic interpretation of modern
imaging techniques, and team-based interpersonal skills.
Hands-on small group sessions on neuroanatomy before
midterm help students to match the three-dimensional
structures of the central nervous system with sections
produced by modern imaging techniques, such as CTscans and MRIs. After the midterm, students are taking
their first steps to perform neurological examinations,
while reviewing the underlying mechanisms and
discussing the expected outcomes under physiological and
pathological conditions.
Each of the small group sessions includes a clinical case
discussion related to the core material presented in these
sessions.
• Online Activities
The Neuroscience course website contains essential
course information, including lecture and small group
materials, announcements, calendar entries, gradebook,
and online activities. This allows students to review online
presentations for difficult concepts, study supplemental
material, complete online assignments or assessments, take
practice quizzes and communicate with faculty and peers
in discussion forums.
Physiology
PHY 560
The aim of this course is to provide students with a clear
understanding of the most important concepts and
principles of medical physiology. The lectures provide the
information base while the laboratories and case studies
provide the student with an opportunity to assimilate and
integrate the material within a small group setting. The first
half covers cardiovascular, cellular, muscle physiology, and
an introduction to pharmacology. The second half covers
gastrointestinal, renal, pulmonary, and endocrine physiology.
Appropriate clinical perspectives are presented throughout
the course. Review sessions are scheduled on a regular basis.
• L aboratory
Two human laboratory exercises pertaining to
cardiovascular, respiratory physiology are included in the
course. Computer-assisted applications are regularly used.
For each of the laboratories, students work in groups of five
to six; groups are assisted by a faculty member.
• Clinical Case Studies
Six clinical case studies pertaining to cardiovascular,
endocrine, respiratory, renal, and acid-base regulation are
included in the course. For this portion of the program,
classes are broken up into small discussion groups of five to
six students.
Doctor of Medicine Course Descriptions
The course begins with a basic principles module exploring
the fundamental principles of pharmacokinetics and
pharmacodynamics. This is followed by systematic discussion
of the major drug used in specific clinical situations. Topics
covered include the pharmacology of the autonomic
and central nervous systems, cardiovascular, respiratory,
gastrointestinal, renal, endocrine, and autacoid pharmacology,
and chemotherapy. Particular emphasis is placed on the
mechanisms of action, therapeutic, and adverse effects and
clinical indications of drugs used in medical practice.

Public Health and Preventive Medicine
Omur Cinar Elci, MD, PhD, Chair
Topics in Community and Preventive Medicine:
Medicine in Society II
PUBH 501
This course focuses on disease prevention, health promotion,
and population health, as well as on the integration of
each in the practice of medicine. The course focuses on
three areas: the evidence base of practice, community
aspects of practice, and clinical preventive services and
health promotion. Themes running throughout the course
will include the scientific foundation upon which practice
guidelines and recommendations are made, the role and
contribution of both clinical and community prevention
efforts, and the applicability of these topics to the practicing
physician. The principles of community and preventive
medicine will be illustrated using examples from a wide
range of health topics such as child health, health of the
elderly, health disparities, infectious and chronic diseases,
and health topics in the news. The overarching goal of this
course is to demonstrate that community medicine and
preventive medicine can be and should be an integral part
of the practice of medicine.
• Online Course Management System
Student learning is facilitated by an electronic course
management system, where course materials and
supplemental materials can be reviewed online, and
students can take self-assessment quizzes and participate in
discussions for each of the lecture modules.
Selectives
Doctor of Medicine Course Descriptions
Selectives are offered to Basic Sciences students during
the first two years of the four-year medical program. The
objective is to provide a structured learning experience in
diverse clinical and scholarly areas. They give students the
opportunity to integrate Basic Sciences knowledge into
clinical areas and may provide a transition into clinical
medicine. Selectives are offered by various departments
and coordinated through the Office of the Dean of Basic
Sciences. There is a cost associated with some of the
following electives.

Culture and the Practice of Medicine
ELEC 524
Diana Stone, MPH, DVM, PhD
Health care practitioners have become increasingly aware
of the significant impact of cultural beliefs and practices
on health, illness and disease. This course is designed for
both human and veterinary medical students. The goal of
this course is to enable students to identify cultural beliefs
and practices that impact disease in human and animal
populations and the practice of human and veterinary
medicine. Students will understand the concept of “One
Health One Medicine” and will incorporate cultural aspects
and interdisciplinary approaches to health care problem
solving. Students will use cultural knowledge, including an
understanding of their own cultural beliefs and practices, to
improve their ability to effectively practice medicine.
The Prague Experience in Medicine
SCSK 500
Walter Kolbinger, PhD
Martin Stransky, MD
This popular two-credit selective takes place in Prague
in the Czech Republic during the last three weeks of July.
Students are introduced to three teaching hospitals and
a private practice clinic with 25 physicians. The students
gain exposure to both adult and pediatric settings, and
participate in team discussions, teaching rounds, lectures,
and direct patient interaction. The thinking process that
clinicians use when examining patients is introduced
and discussed. Students assess the medical, cultural, and
economic forces impacting different medical systems. After
this selective, students will have developed an increased
awareness of the globalization of medicine, expanding their
perspectives and knowledge bases in patient care.
Speech Skills for Professionals
SCSK 501
Bill Blunt, DEd
The selective is an online communication workshop
designed to provide the techniques and concepts needed
to improve students’ communication skills as professionals
in today’s US marketplace. The acquired speaking skills
will improve performance in interviews, presentations, and
interactions with colleagues and peers. Emphasis will be
placed on preparation, body language, and image. Essential
to competing in the US job market today is the ability to
convey information and concepts distinctly without language
barriers. To this end, this workshop will enhance students’
English pronunciation while reducing foreign accents. In
addition, students will learn the factors that influence
their speech qualities, such as verbal debris and volume.
Throughout the one-credit course, each student will have
opportunities to hear his/her voice through recordings and
engage in self-critique in order to become acutely aware of
modifications. Once identified, students will work through
practice exercises and find solutions in online discussions
and resources to rectify errors.
Microbiology
SCSK 502
David Lennon, PhD
The laboratory component of the Medical Microbiology
(PATH 570) course is the minimum required for future
physicians who intend to practice in developed countries
with automated, professional laboratory support. Students
planning to serve in developing nations will benefit from the
extra laboratory experience that will be provided by this twocredit selective. Students who have an interest in infectious
disease and diagnostic microbiology will also benefit from
this selective. The objectives of the selective are to provide
extensive practical hands-on laboratory-based experience
and foster an appreciation of the safe handling of infectious
materials and/or microorganisms. Students must have a
minimum GPA of 3.0, and either General Microbiology
(BIOL 401) or Medical Microbiology (PATH 570) (pre- or
co-requisite), as well as the permission of both the course
director and Dean of Students. A minimum of four to five
students should register for the course to be offered.
This is a one-credit selective that takes place in Honduras.
As there are fundamental differences between health care
provision in developed and underdeveloped countries, a
recognition and understanding of some of these issues
should help to build partnerships and support international
health efforts. Human rights are essential to the full
attainment of health. Most traditional medical curriculums
do not address this subject. This selective is designed to
give students a fuller comprehension of the global aspects
surrounding health and human rights. This selective is
designed to promote a better understanding of the broad
determinants of individual and population health, which
can be applied to issues in Honduras and regionally to
other developed countries. The core of the selective will be
facilitated in Honduras by our relationship with ASONOG
(Asociación de Organismos No Gubernamentales, the
Association of Non-Governmental Organizations), a
nonprofit organization which works throughout Honduras.
ASONOG was founded in 1988 and works on the
coordinating of objectives strengthening primary health
services, developing local capacities in the prevention of
illnesses, and health promotion.
Integrated Approach of Basic Science Related

SCSK 505
Robert Hage, MD, PhD, DLO, MBA
This one-credit selective is offered twice a year. Students will
have two sessions per week for five weeks at the beginning
of each semester. Visits to outside institutions are arranged
during the semester according to preference and availability.
Students will receive a total of five case studies by email, and
are expected to attempt to solve the problems before these
cases are presented on Monday afternoons. On Thursday
afternoons there will be sessions covering maxillofacial
surgery, radiology, examination technique, and
demonstrations. Visits to the General Hospital operating
room, Radiology Department, School for the Deaf, ENT
Clinic, and special homes are opportunities for students
to gain valuable experience. A CD or ZIP disk must be
provided by students so that material related to the selective
(clinical pictures, video clips, text) can be made available for
home study.
Complementary and Alternative Medicine
SCSK 506
Jacqueline Stanley, PhD
This is a one-credit pass/fail Complementary and
Alternative Medicine selective that provides a comprehensive
survey in various areas of complementary and alternative
medicine. The primary goals and underlying methodologies
of each of the complementary health care areas are
addressed. In addition, the strengths/weaknesses and
the risk/cost of each area from patients’ and health care
points of view are examined. An important aspect of the
Complementary and Alternative Medicine selective is to
have students understand how these health care areas
can interact with and complement conventional medicine
for optimal patient care. This selective relies heavily on
visiting professors, as well as on local practitioners to
deliver the material in a cohesive manner based on their
own experiences in the various areas. The selective consists
of three consecutive modules. Although each module is
open to everyone, students who wish to receive credit on
their transcript for this selective must register and attend
three full modules. Each module consists of four lectures
in the morning and two different afternoon workshops.
Furthermore, registered students must pass a short quiz that
will be given at the end of each day.
Regional Anatomical Dissection
SCSK 507
Kathleen Bubb, MD
Benjamin Turner
This one-term, two-credit selective will give participants the
opportunity to undertake four detailed regional dissections
of the human body. These regions include head and neck;
back and thorax; extremities; and abdomen, pelvis, and
perineum. Each regional dissection will be limited to the
appropriate area but need not be a complete dissection of all
the structures within the topic area. The ultimate objectives
are to give students the opportunity to dissect regions of
the human body of particular interest to obtain a deeper
understanding of the anatomy of selected areas and for
detailed anatomical preparation to be created for future
clinical aspirations.
Scientific Literature and Evidence Based Medicine
SCSK 508
Walter Kolbinger, PhD
Joanna Rayner, PhD
This one-credit selective is offered to students in Term 2 or
higher. Major components of the course are tutorials and
practical hands-on experience through small group and
online assignments. The course aims to have the students
understand the underlying principles of evidence-based
medicine and to enable them to actively engage in searching
for scientific literature, using tools that are available to
the general public, as well as specific tools offered in
the St. George’s University academic environment. The
practical components are aimed towards actively learning
to assess the methodologial quality of scientific publications,
differentiation between different types of trials, systematic
reviews and meta-analyses, and the ability to question or
defend their findings in a small group interactive setting.
Imaging and Anatomy
SCSK 509
Robert Hage, MD, PhD, DLO, MBA
This one-credit selective will give participants the opportunity
to review the normal gross anatomical structure of the
human body as seen in various radiological films such as x-ray
film, MRIs, and CT scans. A major emphasis will be placed
on the clinical application of gross anatomy as it relates to the
various imaging methods. Ultimately, the students’ overall
knowledge of clinical anatomy will be enhanced.

SCSK 514
Robert Hage, MD, PhD, DLO, MBA
This one-credit selective will familiarize students with
the performance and evaluation of clinical flow/volume
pulmonary function tests and allow them to develop the
clinical skills required to perform successful tests. This
course will use didactic lectures to review lung physiology
and pathophysiology of different lung diseases. After
demonstration of a pulmonary function test, students will
practice administering the test, using American Thoracic
Society guidelines, to their peers. Students will examine
how test results are analyzed and how the results help in the
diagnosis of various lung disorders. Students will receive a
clinical case and will make a presentation based on that case
to assess understanding of implementation, analysis, and
diagnosis.
This one-credit selective is offered once a semester and will
fall within the start/stop dates of the first term semester. Ten
sessions are scheduled per semester. Students are expected
to attend and actively participate twice a week in a one-hour
session during which a teacher from the School for the Deaf
will teach American Sign Language (ASL). Guest speakers
will cover topics such as speech training, causes of deafness,
prevention of deafness, and hearing aids. This will add to
each session an element of theory and practical information
related to deafness. Students are expected to practice their
acquired sign language skills with each other between
sessions and demonstrate some of their skills during each
session. Video cassettes are available for viewing in the
library. Visits to the School for the Deaf are recommended.

This one-term two-credit course will give participants the
opportunity to undertake detailed, professional-quality
dissections of the human body. The ultimate objective is
to allow students to dissect specific regions and/or organs
of the human body in order to create “museum quality”
specimens for teaching purposes. In so doing, students will
learn the various techniques involved in the preparation of
cadaveric material for display and teaching. These include
dry bone/ligamentous preps, plastic embedding, and
various plastination procedures. Ultimately, the students’
overall knowledge of anatomy will be enhanced.

This one-credit selective, which will meet once a week for
the entire term, is designed primarily to meet the needs
of medical students who anticipate contact with Spanishspeaking patients in their future. In the United States,
particularly, it has become an absolute necessity for health
care providers to have at least a minimal understanding
of the Spanish language in order to reduce frustrations
stemming from the lack of ability to communicate with the
nation’s fastest-growing non-English speaking group. In
addition to the significant lack of control that health care
providers feel at not being in command of the language of
their patients, the predicament of non-English speaking
patients in need of medical care is of crucial concern as
well. The course, which will be offered at the University’s
main campus, will provide students with a basic introduction
to Spanish grammar and sentence structure, as well as
an overview of vocabulary for specific medical purposes.
Students will be expected to have had some exposure
to Spanish language instruction, as well as be in good
academic standing in order for the more specialized medical
instruction to be beneficial. The course will cover such
topics as basic grammar skills, emergency medicine, a visit
to the family practitioner, basic anatomy, and dealing with
sensitive cultural issues.
Pain is an important symptom in medicine. However,
until recently, pain management education has been
minimal. The one-credit selective will introduce pain as
a public health problem. It will cover the definition of
pain, the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of pain, and
psychological, sociological, and anthropological aspects of
pain. The students will be taught to do pain histories and to
assess pain and pain relief. There will be an introduction to
treatment options and discussion of ethical issues related to
pain management.

students from St. George’s University, with preference
given to students in the Keith B. Taylor Global Scholars
Program. This experience offers direct observation of the
epidemiology, public health, clinical, control, and economic
impact of tropical diseases in a country where many such
infections are endemic. Through interaction with Kenyan
medical students who take the selective, AMREF staff, and
visits to rural areas, students gain an understanding and
appreciation of people and cultures in Kenya. Students
will become familiar with tropical medicine as practiced
in the region through a combination of lectures, site visits,
seminars, case discussions, and ward rounds.
Applied Cell Biology and Histology
SCSK 526
Jacques Gilloteaux, PhD
Using basic knowledge acquired in Cell Biology and
Histology during the first term of the four-year medical
program, selective students during their second term
explore in more depth some of the topics related to medical
applications in applied cell biology, histology of the human
body, as well as applying advanced morphological and
related ancillary techniques. The Applied Cell Biology and
Histology selective will review six major areas of cell, tissue,
and organ system investigations, as they can be relevant to
reinforce cell biology and histology knowledge. Students
are also introduced to principles of clinical histopathology.
Students are given the opportunity to critically read
publications in these topics to discuss and review the reports
or presentations of morphological data acquired in view of
understanding their clinical implications.
Applied Anatomy Using Ultrasound and Nerve Mapper
SCSK 527
Donny Shanahan, PhD
Brian Curry, PhD
This selective improves the anatomical knowledge of
students in the second term of the four-year medical
program by using cadaveric material to revisit the basic
anatomy, and then using an ultrasound machine to view the
internal structure on live volunteers of vital areas such as
the neck and femoral triangle, and a nerve mapper to show
the position of nerves and vessels in the living body in areas
such as the neck, cubital fossa, and femoral triangle. The
course uses new technology to show students the position
of vital structures and reinforces the relevance of clinical
anatomy.

Biomedical Informatics
SCSK 535
Edwin Sperr, MLIS
Information technology is important to the practice of
medicine, but still does little to inform the core practice of
documentation. Indeed, health care finds itself in the same
position now with regards to IT that most other industries
did 15 years ago. Students will need a range of competencies
to work in this changing landscape. They will not only need
to navigate this future, but they will need to help build it as
well. The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the
basic principles of biomedical informatics and give you a
framework with which to face the challenges ahead. To this
end, students will trace the development of the electronic
medical record, and situate that history in the context of
current practice; discuss the importance of integrating
different types of information sources in a clinical setting;
demonstrate a basic knowledge of different telemedicine
technologies and be able to evaluate the appropriateness of
solutions for a particular situation; use online tools to meet
immediate information needs, as well as to aid in current
awareness; demonstrate that you can evaluate types of
information sources in terms of format, authority, relevance
and availability; and discuss the basic legal and ethical issues
relating to patient privacy and electronic medical records

Students receive a primarily didactic orientation to drugs
and are required to prepare and present educational
sessions to secondary school students in Grenada. Phase
One is composed of four (4) 3-hour lectures given on four
consecutive Saturdays from 9:00 to 12:00 Noon. The content
of this Selective will cover the different types and families of
psychotropic drugs, highlighting how they are administered
or taken, their acute and protracted effects, including their
neurobiological actions, their addictive potential, their
lethal potential, their psychosocial consequences, and
treatment and prevention implications.
Phase Two requires students to prepare and present four
(4) 30–45 minute presentations to high school students
on a schedule that the course directors will arrange
to be convenient to both the students and the schools.
Following the participation in the didactic sessions of Phase
One, students will have to prepare four (4) PowerPoint
presentations for high school students on some aspect of the
topics taught. If the necessary permissions from the Ministry
of Education cannot be achieved in time, the presentation
will be held for the class. The presentations could be
limited to one drug or category of drugs, or be even more
comprehensive, depending on each student’s preference.
They could focus on some particular aspect of the drug(s)
such as effects, lethality, addictive potential, etc. The
particular message chosen will be left to the student, each of
whom will be expected to deliver four (4) such presentations
to classes of students on different occasions. As noted, the
schedule and venue of these sessions will be arranged by the
course directors.
Global Touch of Medicine

Students in term one can register for this selective. It runs
over three terms, two in Newcastle (term one and two) as
part of the KBTGSP and one (term three) in Grenada.
At completion of this selective you will understand why
different systems have evolved and exist over time and
interpret the pros and cons of each. While in the KBTGSP
in Newcastle you will learn about the UK National Health
System (NHS), then go on to learn about the Grenada
health care system during your final year of Basic Sciences
on the True Blue campus. The elements of this selective
consist of: public lectures, seminars, active participation in
research days, participation in health fairs and/or activities
linked to charity organizations and other activities by
discretion of the course directors. Lectures and seminars
usually are a one-hour activity and count towards one
hour for the selective. Activities such as research days and
health fairs add to half an hour for every two hours of active
participation in the event. A log book must be kept by the
student and should be signed off at every event. A total of 15
hours is sufficient to be eligible for obtaining one credit for
this selective. In closing the selective there will be a session
where all participants give a short presentation of their
experience to peers, faculty and interested parties.

SCSK 541
Nirupma Kakkar, MD
Robert Hage, MD, PhD, DLO, MBA
This course consists of involvement with local charity and
voluntary organizations, nursing homes, institutions for
people with special needs, and health fair organizations. By
engaging and interacting with the local communities and
culture, both in the UK and Grenada, medical students are
exposed, early in their careers, to the various social problems
which impact on the health of the population. Students gain
insight into the organization and management of various
social issues and resource implications thereof, as well as
gain a greater understanding of how charity and voluntary
organizations may prove valuable for research into social
problems and issues, which in turn might have a significant
impact on government policy and decision making.
This selective introduces the basics of membrane biophysics
specifically introducing electrophysiological methods for
studying cell membranes, ion channels and receptors. The
course will be evaluated based on joint writing of a short
review-type paper of a related given topic and a presentation
given by the student. It contains lectures, interactive sessions
with discussions and writing of a short communication article
or conference abstract related to the basics of membrane
biophysics and electrophysiology methodology. The course is
relevant for understanding some of the current methodology
used in e.g. drug development for treatment of diseases, such
as various channelopathies. The Course Director will assign
tasks (writing summaries, abstracts or short proceedings/
reviews) to each student based on the level of the student’s
education and related to diseases and drug development.

Anatomical Education—Dissection and Multimedia
Marios Loukas, MD, PhD
The key objective of this one-term, two credit-hour selective
is furthering the development and enhancement of online
and offline anatomical sciences education and dissection
of multimedia materials. The primary goal is to expand
the competency of students involved by allowing them to
sharpen both their computing and their anatomy dissection
skills. Participants may produce high-quality prosections
and educational materials for any anatomical sciences
course, including gross anatomy, histology, embryology,
and undergraduate anatomy, or a combination thereof,
and develop a multimedia presentation. The multimedia
presentation includes 3D reconstructions, flash animations,
cadaveric prosected animations, and so forth.
Clinical Years
There are 80 weeks of clinical training. Every student takes
42 weeks of core clinical rotations in the five major specialty
areas—12 weeks of internal medicine, 12 weeks of surgery,
and 6 weeks each of obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, and
psychiatry. In addition to the core rotations, all students must
complete four weeks of family medicine, a four-week medicine
subinternship, a four-week medicine elective, and a four-week
pediatric sub-internship or elective. To complete the clinical
requirements, every student takes 22 weeks of electives.
Internal Medicine
John Sensakovic, MD, PhD, Chair
The 12 weeks of the internal medicine rotation are designed
to expose students to a wide variety of medical problems.
Students are expected to develop a logical approach to the
diagnosis and treatment of patients’ complaints. Some of
the skills that must be acquired and refined are how to elicit
and assess patient information, how to perform a complete
and accurate physical examination, how to formulate a
differential diagnosis and problem list, how to construct a
diagnostic workup and a plan of management, and how to
write up and present cases.
Students thoroughly study at least two new patients per
week, present them on teaching rounds, follow them
throughout their hospital stay, and use patient problems
as a basis for reading.
The end of the rotation should accumulate large amounts
of experience-based knowledge as students are assigned
cases in various major areas of medicine such as cardiology,
gastroenterology, and endocrinology. Self-learning
techniques, as well as compulsory attendance at lectures,
conferences, and teaching rounds, in concert with a careful
study of patients, should foster a sound pathophysiological
approach to medical diseases and a concern for and
awareness of patient needs.
Surgery
James Rucinski, MD, Interim Chair
The goal of the surgery rotation is to acquaint students
with those clinical problems that require surgery as part
of the therapeutic management. The emphasis of this
rotation is not primarily on surgical technique, but on the
understanding of the pathophysiology of surgical disease,
as well as on the management of pre-operative and postoperative therapy. Besides the many short histories and
physical examinations done during this rotation, students
are required to perform detailed histories and physical
examinations on at least two patients admitted to the
surgical service each week, and to follow these patients
through surgical and post-operative therapy.
Attendance in the operating room is required when surgery
is performed on a patient for whom students obtained an
admission history and performed a physical examination.
Students must assist in the operating room to gain an
understanding of basic surgical techniques, surgical
discipline in relation to asepsis, and care of the unconscious
patient. The more common post-operative complications

must be recognized. Student follow-ups of patients are
required (for example, pathology, radiology, rehabilitation
medicine). Procedures that involve manual skills, such as
venipuncture, placing and removing sutures, and urethral
catheterization are incorporated into the surgical rotation.
Initially, students are under direct supervision. After
demonstrating proficiency, they are indirectly supervised.
Obstetrics/Gynecology
Paul Kastell, MD, Interim Chair
The goals of the clinical rotation in obstetrics/gynecology
are to provide students with knowledge and experience in
managing the normal and abnormal changes that occur
during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the puerperium,
and in diagnosing and treating gynecological disorders.
Students become proficient in taking histories from and
examining such patients, learning to perform pelvic
examinations, including how to pass a speculum and obtain
a cervical smear, as well as in attending to their patients
in the operating and delivery rooms. Additional student
experiences include the observation of labor, delivery of
cases, installation of intravenous infusions, recording of
partograms, helping with problems of anesthesia, and
attendance at special clinics such as pre- and post-natal care,
family planning, infertility, and high-risk cases. Students
attend conferences, lectures, and teaching rounds. They are
expected to follow their patients carefully, read textbooks
and literature referable to their patients’ problems, and pay
special attention to public health aspects of reproductive
medicine, especially as they relate to maternal and perinatal
morbidity and mortality, sexually transmitted disease, cancer
detection, and human sexuality.
Doctor of Medicine Course Descriptions
Psychiatry
Amy Hoffman, MD, Chair
52
The purpose of the rotation is to convey psychiatric
concepts, attitudes, and skills that are needed by all students,
regardless of their future career plans. By the conclusion
of the rotation, students should be able to elicit, organize,
and present a full psychiatric history, perform a mental
status examination and a differential diagnosis, and suggest
methods of treatment. Students will have improved their
ability to establish a physicianpatient relationship and will
have acquired knowledge of psychological factors in physical
illness. Students will demonstrate improved interviewing
skills and know the major indications, uses, and side effects
of commonly used psychotropic drugs. They will become
familiar with the major psychiatric syndromes in children
and adolescents, as well as with the effects on the child/
adolescent/family of the life-disrupting syndromes of child
abuse and substance abuse. Students will learn detection
and treatment of these syndromes, as well as how to evaluate
and manage psychiatric emergencies. The goal is for
students to feel more comfortable with psychiatric patients,
and, ultimately, possess an understanding of biological,
psychological, and social determinant behavior. Students
must fully work up at least one patient a week. The history
and mental status examination are presented to the preceptor
and the case is discussed. Students must follow each patient’s
progress throughout the duration of the rotation. Students
must attend ward rounds and outpatient sessions.
Attendance will be expected at case conferences and
seminars. Special experiences are recommended. These
include attendance at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings
and visits to local mental health facilities, county, and/or
state hospitals, addiction programs, and any other special
programs in the vicinity of the hospital. Observation and
participation in group therapy, pre-discharge, and postdischarge group management are required.
Pediatrics
Phyllis Weiner, MD, Chair
The goal of the rotation in pediatrics is to allow students to
acquire the basic knowledge of the normal physical, mental,
and emotional development of children. Students learn
how this development is influenced by medical, social, and
educational factors, as well as understand the common
disorders and diseases of childhood, especially their
diagnosis, management, and prevention. Students will be
taught to be aware of the special needs of the newborn, the
handicapped child, and the adolescent. An integral part
of the rotation is the opportunity to acquire the necessary
skills of taking a pediatric history, to examine children of all
ages, and to acquire experience in evaluating the essential
clinical information so that a coherent plan of management
can be formulated and explained to the parents and, as
appropriate, to the child. Students learn to appreciate the
value of a confident but sympathetic approach to the child
and the family while recognizing and accepting the limits of
that unit’s expectations and understanding. Student reading
is structured during the six weeks so that they first become
acquainted with the normal child and then learn history
taking and physical examination, reactions of children to
illness and hospitalization, the principles of infant feeding,
and fluid and drug therapy.
Emergency Medicine
Theodore Gaeta, DO, MPH, Chair
The goal of the rotation in emergency medicine is to teach
medical students the necessary skills to take care of patients
with a wide variety of undifferentiated urgent and emergent
conditions. Students learn how to approach patients with
common and potentially life-threatening complaints (such
as chest pain, headache, abdominal pain, and many others).
Emphasis is placed on teaching how to develop a working
differential diagnosis and how to appropriately narrow it.
During the rotation, students have the opportunity to
gain proficiency in rapidly collecting data and performing
focused physical examinations appropriate for the acutely
or emergently ill patient. Students function as an effective
and essential part of the emergency medical team in the
patient assessment, stabilization, and management of a
variety of acute medical and surgical conditions. Students
learn to formulate appropriately organized and succinct
medical records and problem lists. Students are familiarized
with the indications, limitations, and methodology of
emergency department (ED) diagnostic procedures and
introduced to the multifaceted psychological, social, and
economic challenges faced in an emergency medical setting.
Students function under the direct supervision of the ED
faculty. During the rotation, students attend departmental
conferences, lectures, skills labs, and teaching rounds.
Evaluations are based on clinical performance, written
examination, and case-log presentations.
Family Medicine and General Practice
Everett Schlam, MD, Chair
Doctor of Medicine Course Descriptions
The goals of the family medicine and general practice
rotation are to ensure that all medical students have a full
understanding and appreciation of an integrative approach
to the care of patients, families, and communities. Students
will be introduced to the aspects of family medicine that
are applicable to all fields of medical practice, including
comprehensive and continuous care provided by family
physicians to patients of all ages. The importance of family
systems and the impact of chronic illness on patients
and their families will be incorporated into patient care.
Students will accompany precept physicians performing
patient care in the office setting, nursing home, and
house calls. Participation in community services involving
health care will be encouraged. By the end of the rotation,
students will be expected to perform and present a focused
patient history and physical examination to diagnose and
manage patients. Students will be able to provide effective
patient education and utilize evidence-based decision
making in clinical practice. Students will use the Fifth
Edition of Sloan’s Essentials of Family Medicine as a text
for the rotation.

Master of Science Degrees
at St. George’s University
The general policies, procedures, and requirements to
earn a master’s degree at St. George’s University follow
those of the Graduate Studies Program (GSP) of the
University. The specific program in each department
is defined by the rules developed within these GSP
guidelines by the departmental Graduate Affairs
Committee (GAC). The chair of the GAC is responsible
for administration of the departmental program. Many
departments will offer a research/thesis program and
some may elect to also offer a non-thesis program.
Advanced Standing and Transfer of Credits
Up to 12 transfer credits can be made from a prior
graduate degree program or during the course of
the master’s degree from approved universities.
Recommendation for transfer of credits for advanced
standing and for acceptance of non-SGU courses will be
determined by the departmental GAC and presented to
the Dean of the GSP for approval.
Course Requirements
Students must complete at least 34 credit hours. The
distribution of the credit hours will be determined by the
GAC and approved by the Board of Studies (BOS) after
review by the Graduate Review Committee (GRC). For
the master’s degree program, which includes research
and thesis, these components must be a total of 12 credits
(6 for research and 6 for thesis).
Substitutions within the Program
Courses may be substituted at the discretion of the
departmental GAC.
Teaching Requirements
At the discretion of the head of the department and
following the recommendation of the departmental GAC,
students may be required to serve as teaching assistants
or instructors in departmental courses. Students who are
required to teach will normally be remunerated for this
service.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
For students to maintain satisfactory academic progress,
a GPA of at least 3.0 (B) and a passing grade in all pass/
fail courses must be obtained. If the GPA falls below 3.0,
students will be placed on academic probation and must
correct the deficiency within the stated period of time, as
determined by the Committee for Satisfactory Academic
Progress and Professional Standards. Failure to do so may
result in dismissal. Students must achieve a “B” or better
in all departmental courses. A “C” in any departmental
course will require that students repeat the course at its
next offering. A course may only be repeated once.
Students’ academic progress will be reviewed biannually
by the departmental GAC to identify and deal with any
academic or nonacademic problems. A report of each
meeting will be forwarded to the Dean of the Graduate
Studies Program for any further action. Students who
are dismissed may appeal through the established GSP
appeals process.
Supervisory Committee
By the beginning of the second term, students are
expected to have selected a mentor with whom they
wish to work. For students in the research/thesis
program, both student and mentor will determine the
research project and, within two months of selecting a
mentor, both will choose a thesis supervisory committee
(SC) from faculty whose interests and expertise will
complement the research project. The SC will oversee
all aspects of research, administer the thesis, and review
students’ progress. The SC will be composed of at least
three members, with at least two faculty members from
the department and one from outside the department.
Thesis Preparation
Students under the direction of student mentors will
prepare the master’s thesis. Members of the SC will act
as consultants during the research and must approve the
thesis during its development, as well as in its final form.
At least four weeks should be allowed for committee
review and revision of drafts of the thesis.
Thesis Format and Submission
The thesis must be prepared and formatted according to
the thesis rules and regulations of the Graduate Studies
Program. Final submission of the thesis must follow the
established GSP guidelines.
55
Final Thesis Examination
The thesis presentation and defense is the culmination of
the GSP experience. Following the final review by the SC and
the required alterations made to the satisfaction of the SC,
students will present their research in a public seminar, duly
advertised, at which all the SC members must be present.
Following the seminar, the SC will make a final evaluation of
the thesis and presentation.
Capstone Presentation
Graduate Degree Programs
For students in the non-thesis master’s program, students and
mentors must choose a topic related to the chosen program
on which students will make a presentation at the end of their
course of study. This presentation will be duly advertised within
the University.

Anatomical Sciences
Graduate Program Course Descriptions
Marios Loukas, MD, PhD, Chair
Educational Development
ANAT 801
This course will give graduate students the opportunity to
enhance their general anatomical knowledge and explore
in greater detail areas of the body that were covered only
superficially in previous coursework. This course will
enable students to enter their fields of interest prepared to
effectively teach pertinent concepts and applied anatomy
in that field, as well as allow students to prepare a body
of work with educational value for future students by
developing educational materials through dissection or
other media forms, such as computer or medical imaging.
Students will learn various techniques involved in the
preparation of cadaveric material for display and teaching,
including dry bone/ligamentous preps, plastic embedding,
and various plastination procedures.
Special Regional Dissection
ANAT 802
This course allows students to hone their dissection
expertise, as well as their academic and threedimensional understanding of a particular body area
through detailed cadaveric dissection.
Students will produce prosecutions for the department
while gaining a chance to learn a particular region of the
body in great and professional-level detail, well beyond
that covered in the standard anatomy course. Project
topics focus around four regions, which are head and
neck; back and thorax; extremities; and abdomen, pelvis,
and perineum. Each regional dissection will be limited
to the appropriate area and will be a complete dissection
of all the structures within the topic area, either through
one or a series of dissections. Each project will be
researched, dissected, and presented to the faculty and
peers of students involved.
Instructional Development I/
Instructional Development II
ANAT 803/ANAT 813
Instructional Development is an elective or selective to
assist students with the development of their teaching
skills and topic proficiency by providing teaching
opportunities in the core anatomical science courses
(Human Gross and Developmental Anatomy, Embryology,
Histology and Cell Biology, or Neuroanatomy). This
course is designed to provide students with practical
teaching experience as a teaching assistant. They must
either pass the course that they wish to teach with a
minimum passing grade of a “B,” or they must have
permission of the course director to waive such a
prerequisite. As graduate teaching assistants, they will
be required to attend and teach in the relevant labs, in
addition to the preparation and delivery of two lectures
throughout the term to faculty and, upon approval of
faculty, to students of the course.
This practical experience is felt to be a crucial part of
any educator’s training. Students are eligible to take this
course twice. The first is Instructional Development I
(ANAT 803) and the second is Instructional Development
II (ANAT 813). Students cannot apply these to the
same core subject. If they elect to take both courses,
they must select two of the four core anatomy courses
(Human Gross and Developmental Anatomy, Embryology,
Histology and Cell Biology, or Neuroanatomy). Letter
grades will be based on the course director’s evaluation
and the delivered lectures to colleagues and other course
instructors, as well as to students of the course. The
subjective evaluation of attendance and work effort in
relevant labs, as well as the quality of oral presentations
will be considered as a component of the grade. It is
intended that students will be formally evaluated at the
end of the term by the students of the course, but it is
up to the course director as to whether or not to use this
feedback in their evaluation.
Seminar in Anatomical Sciences
ANAT 804
A core course requirement for the MSc and PhD, this
course aims to provide an awareness of important current
issues in clinical anatomy education and improve student
understanding of both the educational issues confronting
the profession and the ethical issues associated with
the use of human tissue. Members of the department
will meet with graduate students to discuss topics, to be
determined by the course director, that are issues in the
field of clinical anatomy education. The seminar will be
held three times each term and graduate students will
participate in the seminar for a minimum of four terms.
The course is graded as satisfactory/unsatisfactory and
performance will be determined by the level of student
participation in the discussions over the four terms.
Graduate Gross Anatomy
ANAT 820
An independent study course that aims to provide
graduate students with the knowledge of gross anatomy
necessary for postgraduate teaching, Graduate Gross
Anatomy goes beyond the level attained in the Human
Gross and Developmental Anatomy (ANAT 550) course
and includes historical perspectives and anatomical
variation. Students will be responsible for preparing
full-body prosection following the same sequence as the
dissection in Human Gross and Developmental Anatomy.
The prosection will be used as a teaching specimen for
current ANAT 550 students. Students will work under
the supervision of a full-time member of the department.
Students will be responsible for assigned readings for the
area prosected and will be evaluated by oral examination
periodically. The course will be taken the term
immediately following the completion of Human Gross
and Developmental Anatomy.
Anatomy Prosection and Preservation
ANAT 831
The goals of this course are to improve students’
understanding of a region or regions, improve their
dissection and presentation skills, develop a body of high57
quality teaching materials with anatomic purpose, and develop
the ability to discuss and educate others on a particular region
of the body. Graduate students are provided the opportunity
to enhance their general anatomical knowledge and explore
in far greater detail areas of the body that were covered only
superficially in their previous coursework. They will learn the
finer anatomical points of the body, as well as be exposed to
and trained in the various means of specimen preparation,
preservation, and display available today. They will be able
to revisit anatomical areas of interest to obtain a deeper
understanding of those areas, in addition to the production
and study of detailed anatomical preparations for future
application in their teaching careers. This one- or two-term
course will give participants the opportunity to undertake
detailed, professional-quality dissections of the human
body. The various techniques involved in the preparation
of cadaveric material for display and teaching include dry
bone/ligamentous preps, plastic embedding, and various
plastination procedures. This course gives a letter grade and
involves 24 lecture hours and 70 lab hours. A formal 50-minute
seminar/presentation must be presented to departmental
faculty and invited guests a minimum of twice per term, as well
as a formal presentation of the students’ finished program
projects will be given to peers and faculty.

PUBH 816
This course provides students with the knowledge and skills
to recognize and evaluate common occupational hazards (for
example, chemical, physical, biological, and psychosocial),
which are followed by a review of common approaches that
can be taken to prevent these hazards from causing work
related diseases and injuries. The relationship between
workers and their jobs, with respect to health outcomes, are
explored from historical, scientific, and policy perspectives. A
systematic approach to the study of the causes and extent of
work-related injuries and ill health is emphasized. Principles
of occupational safety and models of accidents, causation, and
investigation are also covered.
Environmental Sustainable Development
PUBH 837
Principle I of the Rio Declaration on Environment and
Development (1992) states, “Human beings are at the center
of concerns for sustainable development. They are entitled
to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature.”
The objectives of this course are to introduce students to the
definition and concepts of sustainable development, and to
explore the cross-cutting relationship between health and
sustainable development. The areas of focus include energy
for sustainable development, atmospheric pollution and
climate change, integrated water resources management,
integrated solid waste management, health and sustainable

maximum impact on the well-being of the population or
groups of patients.
Leadership in Management
PUBH 850
Graduate Program Course Descriptions
The main emphasis of this course is guided by recent events
and new trends; public health training increasingly requires
new and more advanced information—leadership and
management skills drawn from business, industry, education,
and government. This course offers skills necessary for
students entering the field of public health management with
a specific focus on developing knowledge and skills in the
cross-cutting competency domains.
64
The course provides students with the tools needs to diagnose
and solve organizational problems; to influence the actions
of individuals, groups, and organizations; and to lead highperforming, successful public service organizations. A key
leadership task is to assemble the skills, talents, and resources
of individuals and groups into those combinations that best
solve the organizational problems at hand. Leaders must
manage people, information, and processes to accomplish
organizational goals; they must make things happen, and often
not under conditions or time frames of their own choosing.
The successful execution of these goals requires leaders to
be able to understand what they bring to and need from
their organizations, formulate a mission and strategy, make
effective decisions, influence and motivate diverse individuals,
apply their own skills and abilities to their teams, optimize the
structure of their organization, diagnose problems, and drive
organizational change.
Each class will focus on a particular set of leadership skills. The
goal will be to distinguish between effective and ineffective
strategies. Students will accomplish this by discussing key
theoretical concepts, analyzing related cases, engaging in
exercises, and completing team projects. This course reflects
a dual focus on practice and conceptual training. The course
packet readings introduce key concepts and useful ways of
thinking about common situations in complex organizations.
Case studies and class exercises provide opportunities to
apply theories, concepts, and research findings to particular
situations, sectors, and fields of interest to the students and to
hone skills in problem definition and problem solving. The
written assignments, including the team project, ask students
to consolidate their insights and to practice their analytic skills.
Foundations in Health Policy Analysis
PUBH 851
Foundations in Health Policy Analysis is the introductory
course to health policy concepts and analysis, with special
emphasis on the political framework and the problemcentered model. This is based on the thinking that good policy
analysis is built on economics, resource management strategies,
and political processes. Policy analysis can be described as the
science and the art of giving advice that affects public policy
decisions. This course familiarizes students with the policy
process, the role of political actors, and the implications of
research and resources within health policy-making.
The larger economic, political, and governmental context
on health policy decisions is introduced, as well as an
understanding of the effect or impact of policies on target
groups, institutions, and society more generally. Specific global
health policy issues are chosen for discussion on the basis of
their relevance to current public policy debates. Particular
emphases are placed on students’ ability to understand, assess
and critique the policy process, and apply concepts within real
world settings and initiatives
Health Economics
PUBH 854
The course will introduce students to the main concepts of the
public health field and the critical links between global health
and social and economic development. Students will get an
overview:
• To provide an economics perspective for management
decision-making.
• To provide theoretical groundwork for the study of finance,
accounting, marketing, and planning.
• To enable them as future health care managers to play
positive roles in the reform of health care. The course will
cover key concepts and frameworks but be very practical in
orientation.
Maternal and Child Health
PUBH 808
This course covers the major issues involved in the provision
of maternal and child care services across countries, special
needs and programs targeting women and children, changing
structure of the family, domestic violence, and child abuse. A
special focus is given to issues involving maternal and child
health in the Caribbean region.
Nutrition and Public Health
PUBH 812
Nutrition and Public Health covers the roles and applications
of nutrition to assess community needs, shape policies that
affect the public’s health, and manage public health nutrition
programs. This course examines major health conditions
and diseases within populations that have strong nutritional
components.
Preventing Mental Illness: Global Perspectives
PUBH 824
and Universal Strategies
This course provides an advanced introduction to community
psychology, public health theory, and research with the goal
of helping students to develop a global understanding of the
prevention of mental illness. This course is divided into three
components:
• Section I: Psychological Theory and Research
Psychological Theory and Research is primarily concerned
with person-environment interactions and the ways society
impacts individual and community functioning. In this
section of the course, students will explore the framework of
community psychology theory and practice.
• Section II: Prevention and Primary Care
Students will investigate the integration of psychological
theory with public health medicine. In particular, the focus
will be on the role of the primary care provider in mental
health illness prevention.
• Section III: Specific Areas of Prevention
During this section of the course, students will focus on a
variety of psychosocial issues and the practical application of
psychosocial theory and research to the prevention of mental
illness, in addition to the promotion of mental health and
wellness.
Family Violence: A Public Health Problem
PUBH 825
This course presents an in-depth study of family violence, a
growing public health problem. Characteristics of the problem,
its history, and its numerous manifestations in specific
population groups across the life span will be studied. The role
of public health agencies and their interface with the criminal
justice systems will be an important focus. Prevention strategies
and community responses to the problem will provide students
with the opportunity to evaluate and plan a public health
solution to a specific aspect of family violence for a geographic
location of their selection.
Women and Health: A Sociolegal Perspective
PUBH 826
This course is intended to develop an understanding of the
conception and operation of the law as it relates to women
and health. Critical conceptual issues from the humanities, law,
and social sciences will be used to investigate and theorize the
intersections of women, health, and the law, with an emphasis
on the North American experience, as well as glimpses into
global conversations. The ways in which differences of race,
class ability, and sexuality make a difference to women’s health
will be constantly interrogated.
PUBH 853 Public Health Surveillance
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the key
aspects of surveillance: history of public health surveillance,
sources and collection of data, analysis and interpretation
of surveillance data, communication of surveillance data,
technology of public health surveillance systems, evaluation of
public health surveillance activities, ethical and legal issues in
surveillance, international and regional issues in surveillance,
and future considerations. The course structure will be based
on the principle that the purpose of surveillance is to enable
evidence-based development of prevention and control
programs, and to promote the most effective use of health
resources. Surveillance is built upon dynamic and flexible
principles of careful resource allocation, the best response to
the current epidemic state, use of biological and behavioral
data, and integration of various data sources.
Independent Study
PUBH 881
This course is the opportunity for students to design a course
of particular interest for self study in association with a faculty
mentor. This course requires the permission of a faculty
advisor.

The Orientation Process
78
The Office of Admission and the administration as a whole
consider a realistic assessment of the medical program and
the student experience in Grenada, the United States, and
the United Kingdom, a necessary component of a responsible
decision to attend St. George’s University School of Medicine.
Therefore, accepted and prospective candidates are invited
to visit the campus in Grenada during the academic year,
if possible. Accepted candidates who are unable to do so
MD/Dual Degree Programs
BS/MD Degree
Students interested in the BS/MD degree must submit an
application to the Office of the University Registrar and the
Office of the Premedical Program during their first term of
enrollment. Students who enter the final year of the premedical
program directly (e.g., with Advanced Levels or Caribbean
Advanced Proficiency Examination [CAPE]) cannot earn a BS
degree without spending additional semesters in the program.
MD/MSc, MD/MBA, and MD/MPH Degrees
Students applying to the dual graduate degree programs
must first meet the admission requirements for the Doctor
of Medicine program. Please refer to the Doctor of Medicine
program admission requirements for details.
In addition to the professional application, applicants must
submit the graduate addendum insert that accompanies the
application. Once candidates are offered admission into
the professional program, the Committee on Admission
will evaluate the potential for success in the dual degree
program, and render an admission decision based on the
information provided.

Financial Obligations
Tuition
All tuition fees and other University charges must be paid
before students are permitted to register for classes (see
tuition and fees chart above); however, students waiting
for the delivery of their student loans may provisionally
register for classes, in accordance with the provisional
registration policies and procedures outlined in the SGU
Student Manual. Responsibility for payment of tuition
and all other University charges is solely that of the
student. Bills are sent via email to students’ University
email accounts approximately one month prior to the
due date. In the event students do not receive a bill, it
is their responsibility to contact the Office of Student
Finances to request proper billing.
Finances
Housing
University policy requires that entering medical,
veterinary medical, and graduate students live in
campus residence halls for their first term; students
entering into the premedical, preveterinary medical,
and undergraduate programs must live in the campus
residence halls for their first year and will be billed
accordingly. Students will be assigned housing and
roommates in order of their acceptance. If students
have a specific roommate request, it should be indicated
to the housing coordinator. After this initial period on
campus, upperclassmen who did not initially contract
for their second term will be accommodated on campus
according to availability by a lottery system and will be
billed accordingly (see housing rates above). There are
many houses, apartments, and efficiency units close
to campus. All matriculated students on the Grenada
campus must live in approved housing, either on or
off campus, at the discretion of the University. There
are currently no housing accommodations available
on campus for students with children or pets. Students
residing off campus are responsible for their own
housing expenses. The University reserves the right
to require students to live on campus. During clinical
terms, students are responsible for their own room and
board; although, the University and affiliated hospitals
may provide some assistance.
University Refund Policy
University Charges
Students who withdraw or take an unapproved leave
of absence, fail to return from an approved leave of
absence, are dismissed, or otherwise fail to complete the
term for which they were charged, will receive a refund
of University charges based on a pro rata calculation. If
students withdraw during the first 60 percent of a term,
University charges are prorated based on the percentage
of the term that has elapsed. If withdrawals take place
after the 60 percent point, full University charges remain
due. The refund is determined by students’ effective
dates of separation, which are the last recorded dates
of attendance (LDA). Students who can demonstrate
80
unusual and compelling reasons for leaving school may
appeal for an exception to the refund policy by writing a
letter to the Office of Student Finances.
Return of Financial Aid
In accordance with US Federal Title IV Regulations, the
same pro rata schedule is used to determine the amount
of Title IV funds students have earned at the time of
withdrawal. Refunds made on behalf of financial aid
recipients are distributed in the following order:
1. Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans
2. Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans
3. Federal GradPLUS
Financial Aid
Approximately 80 percent of students enrolled in the
Doctor of Medicine program use financial aid to pay
for part or all of their educational expenses. The Office
of Financial Aid administers the financial aid programs
available to St. George’s University students; assists in
financial planning, budgeting, and completion of the
application documents; and counsels students regarding
management of their debt.
Applicants who wish to review the process or receive
counseling prior to acceptance are welcome to contact
the Office of Financial Aid.
The financial aid process is described in detail with
instructions and application forms on the University
website at www.sgu.edu. Upon acceptance to the School
of Medicine, each student is provided with an email
account, user ID, and password in order to access the
member’s center. Applications for financial aid can be
completed almost entirely online.

Partial scholarships are available to some entering
students who demonstrate financial need and/or
academic excellence. Those students who meet the
criteria for one or more of the programs offered are
encouraged to apply. Applications for institutional aid
are available on the University website (www.sgu.edu).
Although an application may be reviewed for several
programs, a recipient generally will receive only one
type of scholarship. The University participates in US
and Canadian government loan programs and several
private educational loan programs offered by private
lenders. The credit-based private educational loan
programs are available to US students. In some cases,
other students who can provide a creditworthy US
Students may wish to research and pursue outside sources of
financial aid; however, the responsibility for paying for the
cost of attendance is solely that of the student. It is important
that students anticipating the need for financial assistance
at any time during their medical education undertake early
long-term planning. The Office of Financial Aid welcomes
the opportunity to help students develop these plans.
Financial aid is used only to supplement personal and/or
family financial resources. In some cases, because both the
personal contribution and sources of financial aid are limited,
students may be unable to enroll in medical school. Students
who believe they may be unable to attend the School due to
financial constraints should call the Office of Financial Aid for
information and counseling.
University-Sponsored Scholarships
A small number of partial scholarships are granted to
members of each entering class. Awards for the full cost of
attendance are not offered. In order for students to plan in
advance for the financial obligations associated with attending
St. George’s University, most applications and awards are
made prior to students’ registration in the School of Medicine
and for the entire length of the program. All awards must be
used to defray the cost of tuition and are credited directly to
students’ accounts. Awards are made for the length of the
students’ entire curriculum and awarded per term. The Office
of Financial Aid, in accordance with guidelines set by the
School’s financial aid committee, makes the selection of award
recipients. Award determinations are based on academic
excellence, the degree of the family’s financial need, and the
availability of funds, in addition to the scholarship’s specified
criteria. Students’ ability to finance their education beyond
the extent of the financial aid award is also an important
selection criterion. Applicants should be aware that the
funding is limited and the quality of the applicants is generally
very competitive. Unfortunately, awards cannot be made to all
deserving students.
Applications are available on the University website at
www.sgu.edu. Application deadlines are December 1 for
class commencing in January and July 1 for class commencing
in August.

Academic Merit-Based Scholarships
Chancellor’s Circle Legacy of Excellence Awards
The Chancellor’s Circle Scholarship is automatically awarded
to the first 50 accepted students who have earned an overall
undergraduate GPA of 3.7, a 3.5 science GPA, and a 29 MCAT
score. Fifty of these one-third tuition scholarships will be

The Legacy of Excellence Awards
St. George’s University offers exceptional students the
opportunity to receive the Legacy of Excellence Scholarship.
This partial scholarship is awarded to entering students who
demonstrate the commitment and dedication necessary
to achieve academic excellence in a rigorous medical or
veterinary medical curriculum.
The Legacy of Excellence Scholarship is based on academic
merit and students’ commitment to their School and chosen
profession. The goal of this scholarship is to provide highachieving students with the means to impact the medical and
veterinary medical professions in noble and humanitarian ways.
The University has attracted some of the best and brightest
medical and veterinary medical students from around the
world. In support of the goal to continually enable students
of the highest academic caliber to pursue their career goals
without excessive financial burdens, we have developed
this scholarship. SGU offers a state-of-the-art campus,
accomplished professors, and useful student support services
that contribute to an unforgettable learning experience.
The Commonwealth-Grenada St. George’s University
Scholarship Program: School of Medicine
Academically gifted students with limited resources deserve
the ability to reach their potential. SGU recognizes this,
which is why in January 2007, the University launched The
Commonwealth-Grenada St. George’s University Scholarship
Program (CGSP).
The program includes 75 scholarships, five of which will be
awarded to students entering the Doctor of Medicine program.
The scholarships will assist in providing well-trained doctors
to enhance health care delivery in developing nations. These
doctors will be well equipped not only to help individual
patients, but to contribute to their nation’s health care systems
as a whole. A Commonwealth-Grenada St. George’s University
Scholarship Committee established by the University awards
the scholarships. Scholarships have been awarded to students
from ten different Commonwealth countries. While the
US $4 million program will fully fund tuition, students will
require separate support for living and traveling expenses.
A prospective scholarship candidate must be a resident citizen
of a Commonwealth country who has been accepted to St.
George’s University School of Medicine. SGU will maintain
strict adherence to its admission requirements. Award
determinations will be made by the Commonwealth-Grenada
St. George’s University Scholarship Committee based primarily
on academic excellence, financial need, and the student’s
commitment to the field of medicine. Prospective scholarship
candidates must be accepted to St. George’s University School
of Medicine and submit the scholarship application with an
essay no later than September 15 for the January class; the
deadline for the August class is April 15.

their scholarship application: Envision yourself at 70 years of
age. Describe the impact this scholarship has made on your
life and the difference that this has made in your community
and country. (500 words)
Finances
cosigner may also obtain these loans. US students who meet
the eligibility requirements are able (if necessary) to finance
their entire cost of attendance through loans. Non-US
students whose governments do not provide scholarship and
loan programs usually need substantial personal and private
resources to pay for costs of attendance not covered by the
partial scholarships and loans made available through the
University.

On May 9, 2007, St. George’s University announced an academic
partnership with the American Association of Physicians of Indian
Origin (AAPI). The scholarship program honors the esteemed
late Dr. CSP Rao, a professor in the Department of Botany at
Banaras Hindu University, India. Dr. Rao, eminent scientist and

students who, due to compelling personal and/or professional
reasons, have suffered undue financial hardships that affect
their ability to pay for their education. These awards are
grants-in-aid and do not have to be repaid.
Loan Programs
Government-Sponsored Loan Programs
United States
The Federal Direct Loan is the US government’s student loan
program. These loans are available only to students in the
four-year Doctor of Medicine program. The program consists of
three different loan programs that combined have a maximum
borrowing limit up to the cost of attendance per academic year.
The Subsidized Federal Direct Loan allows students to borrow up
to US $8,500. The interest accrued while students are in school is
paid by the US government. Students are responsible only for the
interest that accrues after repayment begins. The Unsubsidized
Federal Direct Loan allows students to borrow an additional US
$12,000 per academic year. The Federal Direct GradPLUS loan
allows a student to borrow up to the remaining cost of attendance.
Students are responsible for all accruing interest on the
Unsubsidized and GradPLUS loans; students may choose to repay
the interest while in school or defer it until repayment begins
when they graduate or otherwise cease to be enrolled at least
The interest rates as of July 1, 2006, are fixed. In addition,
students pay a two to four percent origination fee/insurance
premium. To receive Federal student loans, recipients must be
either permanent residents or citizens of the United States, be
enrolled in the Doctor of Medicine program at least half-time,
maintain satisfactory academic progress, and not be in default
on any prior US government guaranteed loan. These guidelines
are subject to statutory and/or regulatory changes in the US
Higher Education Act and the Title IV Program Regulations.
Eligibility is based on the credit worthiness of the student.
Canada
Students from most Canadian provinces are eligible for
Canadian Federal and/or Provincial Student Loans. The
funds are advanced by a Canadian bank or credit union
selected by students. The loans are interest-subsidized by
the Canadian Government while students are enrolled in
school. Eligible students usually borrow $210 (CAD) per
instructional week of study; however, the amount can vary
in different provinces. Interested Canadian students should
contact their banks and provincial Canadian Student Loan
offices for details and applications.
Private Educational Loans
Several private educational lenders in the United States offer
SGU students alternate loans that are intended to supplement
the federal loan programs in the United States. Many students
use these loans to meet all or part of their cost of attendance.
These private loan programs are all credit-based and offered only
to students who meet the credit requirements determined by the
lender. Students who do not meet other minimum credit criteria
may also be able to obtain loans using a cosigner. All international
students, will be required to have a US or Permanent Resident
cosigner. Review the terms of these loans regarding repayment.
Some loans may require an interest payment while in school.
The Office of Financial Aid provides extensive credit services
to students in order to help them understand the eligibility
requirements and terms and conditions. The Office of
Financial Aid maintains a list of private educational lenders
offering programs to SGU students. You have the right to
choose to borrow your loan from any lender who participates
in the program under which you are eligible to borrow.
Students can apply for these loans online at the lender website.
Once credit is approved, the Financial Aid Office will certify
the student’s eligibility for the loan.
Further information about credit services and alternate loan
programs is available on the University website at www.sgu.edu.

Parents’ Coalition of SGUSOM
Relevant Organizations
The Parents’ Coalition is an independent organization,
founded in 1985, in response to a changing political
atmosphere that affected the School of Medicine
students. The coalition has had significant impact on
legislation at both state and federal levels, and today
students enjoy the progress that the coalition has made
over the years. Presently, the coalition remains politically
oriented, monitoring the changes that will be occurring
in health care and medical education. The Parents’
Coalition is a nonprofit organization. Meetings are held
at least once a year. The coalition welcomes membership
from all students, parents, or friends of St. George’s
University School of Medicine.

National Resident Matching Program
The function of the National Resident Matching
Program (NRMP) is to match applicants seeking
postgraduate residency positions in the United States with
institutions offering those positions. Students are given
the opportunity in the final year to rank preferences
confidentially. The students are matched to training
programs ranked highest that offer prospective graduate
positions. Students and graduates of foreign medical
schools may enroll as individuals and will be retained
in the match program if they submit proof of having
passed the examinations required to obtain the ECFMG
certification by the date of submission of rank order lists
in January of each year. ECFMG certification must be
obtained before beginning residency training.
Residency applications are now generally done through
the Electronic Residence Application Service (ERAS).
International medical students obtain the necessary
software to complete the electronic format application
from the ECFMG and return it to them for processing in
the early Fall, prior to the expected start of a residency
in July. Candidates who intend to enter the United States
as exchange visitors must also be able to qualify under
the conditions of applicable US law. Residency program
directors must determine that alien students of foreign
medical schools will be able to obtain a visa if matched,
that applicants are ECFMG-certified, and that applicants
are also eligible under state law for any license or permit
that may be necessary to study as residents.

Educational Commission for
Foreign Medical Graduates
Medical students who are considering the practice
of medicine in the United States should familiarize
themselves with the components of licensure for
students/physicians who have attended foreign medical
schools. There is now in place a single, three-step
examination process for achieving medical licensure in
the United States:
1. USMLE Step One
2. USMLE Step Two
a. Clinical Knowledge (CK—Written Exam)
b. Clinical Skills (CS—Clinical Skills Exam)
3. USMLE Step Three
USMLE Step One is a test of basic science knowledge and
is usually taken at the completion of the Basic Medical
Sciences curriculum. Step Two is a two-part examination
given during the final year of the Medical Sciences.
Clinical Knowledge is a written examination. Clinical
Skills is a bedside examination that utilizes standardized
patients to test students’ abilities in clinical skills, (for
example, medical history taking, physical examination
and diagnosis of the patient, and composition of a
written record of patient contact). Spoken English is also
assessed at this time. USMLE Step Three is administered
after graduation by individual state licensing boards.
Information on the scheduling of and application
for these examinations is distributed to students in a
timely fashion during their medical programs. More
information and a pamphlet can be obtained from:

Medical Graduates

Alumni Affairs
Our Students, Our Faculty, Our Alumni
Postgraduate Records
St. George’s University School of Medicine has a
continuing commitment to its graduates and other
former students. The services of the Office of the
Registrar include assistance to graduates who wish
to sit for qualifying examinations, obtain licensure,
secure postgraduate training programs, and achieve
employment. The Registrar maintains the records of
all graduates; certifies their medical education; and
sends transcripts, letters of recommendation, and other
supporting documentation to places of employment,
educational institutions, and government agencies.
Records are released only upon the written request
of graduates and the subsequent authorization of the
Registrar. There is a fee for these services.
This office also provides access to information needed to
address the examination and licensing requirements of
state and national boards. Although it is not a placement
service, the office acts as a liaison between graduates
involved in job searches and medical institutions that
have indicated an interest in employing graduates of the
University. Statistical data about postgraduate training,
examination results, medical specialty associations, and
licenses are kept on file and are continually updated to
enhance postgraduate professional contacts. Much of
this information is received from graduates voluntarily.
The University urges its graduates to report regularly
all accomplishments, such as postgraduate residency
positions acquired, licenses issued, and specialty
board certifications. The Office of the Registrar works
in conjunction with the Alumni Association to help
graduates keep in touch with one another and to inform
them of developments within the University. It is the
University’s goal to provide a basis of support that allows
this network of graduates to continue to benefit from the
trust and cooperation they share as members of the St.
George’s University community.
Licensure
Applicants for licensure should bear in mind that it is
their responsibility to see that their applications are
properly processed in accordance with the requirements
of the particular authority from which licenses are sought.
The Office of the Registrar maintains some information
on the requirements for licensure in the 54 American
jurisdictions, and in many international jurisdictions;
however, the University is not an agent of any licensing
authority. For precise information, it is students’ or
graduates’ responsibility to seek that information from
the licensing agency in the region, state, or country where
licensure is being sought. The Office of the Registrar,
during the paperwork process of licensure, will advise
individuals on the role of the University in the process.
Alumni Association
The St. George’s University School of Medicine Alumni
Association, an autonomous nonprofit organization,
was founded in May 1981 to help its graduates achieve
their educational and professional aspirations. A large
membership of graduates, transferees to US schools, and
current students is served by a substantial commitment
to maintain the fellowship cultivated in Grenada. Since
1984, this has been accomplished by alumni reunions and
the alumni newsletter, a forum for the membership that
keeps them informed of educational, professional, and
personal news of interest. All graduates, transferees, and
students are urged to enroll and enjoy the collective spirit
and experience of the membership.
The Alumni Relations Office has been set up to aid in
the area of Alumni Affairs. Please visit the website at
alumnirelations.sgu.edu.
