Lesley Byrne, Vice President, International Student Recruitment at St. George's University, Grenada explains: “Since its founding in 1976 SGU has been a medical school with a worldwide mission. We draw students, graduates, and faculty from more than 150 countries and have contributed over 19,000 physicians to the global physician workforce. This long, proud, and verifiable history of success is supported by implementing a curriculum that is built on fostering diversity, and one that is taught across the globe.

“Most students now are searching for international and multicultural elements to their medical education, so it makes sense to get this exposure during their learning experiences. Students at SGU have the opportunity to start their studies in Grenada, the UK, or India, and can complete clinical rotations at one of over 70 affiliated hospitals in the US and UK. With our State-of-the-art campus facilities and commitment to pastoral care, students are offered a truly holistic medical study program.”

SGU graduate, Dr. Georges Karam, MD ‘03 shares his experience studying at the university’s School of Medicine saying “I learned so much at St. George’s University. The teaching was excellent, and it gave me the springboard for everything I have achieved since. The facilities and resources were outstanding, which made for a very pleasant collaborative learning environment and campus. I made great connections and friendships there. I also took advantage of living on a Caribbean Island and discovered a love of scuba diving.”

Similarly, Dr. Joseph El-Khoury, MD ’02, expresses how being a student at SGU was “an important and solid steppingstone” for him. “It was an incredible mix of a studious and serious academic environment alongside Caribbean sunsets, wonderful food, and beautiful scenery. I have very fond memories of my time there.”
