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 Public Health and MD/Master of Science 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 their 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, physiology and neuroscience, and anatomy. The School also offers PhD programs in microbiology, physiology and neuroscience, and anatomy. “As doctors, we are only trained to see patients. We come from a background that is devoid of any business experience, and we have to rely on others to make important business decisions. The MD/MBA dual degree will give you the upper hand by teaching you the language of business and giving you the knowledge and tools to run a successful medical practice.” Carey Williams, MD ’94, MBA ’11 School of Medicine School of Medicine School of Medicine Catalog 2013–2014 | 23

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 first two years of the premedical program also include a variety of courses that integrate the health and social sciences and introductory cources in anatomy and physiology. 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 BSc/MD program. 24 | St. George’s University
