Alumni Affairs
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
