School of Medicine Doctor of Medicine 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. Four-Year Doctor of Medicine Program 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 and ultrasound examinations on standardized patients are provided for each student. The microbiology, pathology, and histology laboratories have extensive collections of microscopic and gross imageswhich 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 upto-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 Clinical Examinations (OSCE) given at the end of the first, second, fourth & fifth terms. This examines the students’ skills in communication, history taking and physical examination of patients, along with the clinical application of basic sciences A separate course called BasicSciences Foundation for Clinical Reasoning istaught in a modified team-based learning setup where students actively recapitulate 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 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.
