SVM Catalogue 2012-2013 - St. George's University

From the Chancellor
Since 1976, St. George’s University has been
educating students from around the world.
The first truly international center of medical
education, globalism has been at the core of our
curriculum since the beginning. With the creation
of the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program,
established in 1999 and accredited by the American
Veterinary Medical Association Council on
Education (AVMA COE) in 2011, and embracing the
concept of One World, One Health, One Medicine,
the University has had an opportunity to more
deeply integrate this mission into our standards for
academic excellence.
St. George’s has always developed programs
that look to the future of the world to meet
rapidly developing needs. As we become more
globally connected, the business of health care
and a renewed commitment to the public health
requires the training of veterinarians to meet
these needs. St. George’s DVM students have the
unique opportunity to become leaders in their
chosen field and to stand out from their peers with
the addition of an MBA or CEPH-accredited MPH
degree to their DVM.
The combination of our dual degree programs,
along with a campus that boasts students and
faculty from over 140 countries, has created an
academic environment that leads to our graduates
being better suited than most to meet the needs of
a diverse patient population. St. George’s University
veterinary graduates also apply the knowledge and
skills learned here across a wide variety of veterinary
medical fields. They run private practices, serve as
head veterinarians at large zoos, teach veterinary
medicine at prestigious universities, and work with
their medicine counterparts on zoonotic diseases.
St. George’s has a long history of academic
success across its programs. We seek the best
and brightest students who are dedicated to their
chosen profession. Our campus is beautiful and
we provide students with modern technology and
learning resources to help them meet their goals.
But don’t take my word for it. Come to Grenada,
visit our campus, and see for yourself. If you apply
and ultimately matriculate, we will reimburse you
for your trip. * I hope you plan a visit as you consider
your future.
