General Rules and Regulations Honor Code St. George’s University School of Medicine is an institution of medical education dedicated to a high standard of ethics and academic achievement. It is the duty of the University community to nurture safe, competent physicians who exhibit professional maturity and sound moral character. To this end, the University has instituted an Honor Code to which all students must adhere upon matriculation at the School. As a member of the student body of St. George’s University School of Medicine, I agree: 1. To adhere to the University’s policy of maintaining a high standard of honor and academic integrity. 2. To refrain from violations of these ideals, for example, by cheating, plagiarizing, lying, or stealing. 3. To accept the responsibility of reporting such wrongdoing upon witness. It is understood that any breach of this honor code necessitates disciplinary action, subject to the discretion of University officials, the procedures for which are outlined in the SGU Student Manual. Once signed, adherence to this code is required and expected for the duration of students’ matriculation at the University. Promotion, Progress, and Academic Retention The Committee for Satisfactory Academic Progress and Professional Standards (CAPPS) reviews the records of all students twice a year. Students are evaluated in terms of their academic performance, professional attitude, and moral character. The faculty reserves the right to refuse promotion to students who are believed to be unsuited for continued study at the University. Information detailing promotion, progress, and academic retention guidelines are delineated in the SGU Student Manual on the University website members center. Health Form The University Health Form is comprised of three parts: Part I—Health History; Part II—Physical Examination; and Part III—TB Screening and Immunization Record. All three parts, filled out completely and accurately, must be submitted prior to registration at the University. After a leave of absence (LOA) for medical reasons, a new medical clearance might be required for re-matriculation. Due to public health regulations, students’ health histories, physical examination reports, and immunization records must be current and accurate in order for students to do clinical rotations at hospitals in the United States and the United Kingdom. Students will not be admitted to the clinical program unless their health forms are complete, current, and cleared. This information is also required for postgraduate training and when joining a hospital’s medical staff as a fully licensed physician. Therefore, a copy of all this material, including updates, should be kept by students at all times and arrangements for current physicals should be made at appropriate intervals to eliminate delays in academic and career progress. Outside Employment Students are not permitted to obtain outside employment during the official school term without the written consent of the appropriate dean. Students who are not citizens of Grenada may not obtain employment in Grenada unless specifically permitted to do so by authorization of the applicable Grenadian authorities.

Course Descriptions School of Medicine Course Descriptions Premedical Program BIOL 220/BIOL 221 General Biology/Human Biology General Biology and Human Biology can be taken in any order, and are designed specifically for students in the preprofessional programs. These courses aim to explain the role of macromolecules in the organization of cells, the compartmentalization of metabolic reactions, and the role of the cell cycle with regards to inheritance. BIOL 320 Genetics This course is designed to introduce undergraduate students in the preprofessional programs to the principles of classical, molecular, and population genetics. It will summarize one of the most dynamic and productive areas of modern biology by providing a historical background of our knowledge of heredity and a review of advances in our knowledge of gene structure and function. Students are expected to develop problem-solving skills in the course of their study. Testing will emphasize the use of problembased questions in which students must apply principles learned in lecture to novel situations. The application of genetic principles to medicine (human and veterinary) will be emphasized throughout the course. BIOL 321/BIOL 331 Molecular Biology/Molecular Biology Lab This course is designed to help students to develop an understanding of the molecular mechanisms that biological organisms use to store and preserve genetic information, the means by which they use that information to create functional biological structures, and the techniques that are commonly used to manipulate and study these processes in the laboratory. A basic understanding of chemistry, biology, and biochemistry will be assumed. The goal of the accompanying laboratory sessions is to help students to develop an understanding of the study of molecular biology in the laboratory; develop an understanding of the technical limitations and potential errors that can be encountered in the laboratory; develop an understanding of the scientific method and the source of the facts studied in lecture; and develop the ability to interpret, organize, and present scientific information. BIOL 401 Microbiology This course attempts to provide a general introduction into the microbial world with information on microbial physiology, growth and its control, nutrition, interactions within various ecosystems, biotechnology, and industrial aspects. BIOL 441 Physiology This course is designed to provide a fundamental basis for understanding mammalian physiology, especially human physiology. In particular, this course will study the physiology of the muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, digestive, and reproductive systems. BIOL 460 Human Anatomy Students will learn basic human anatomy and develop an understanding of the basic applications to clinical practice. CHEM 122/CHEM 123 General Chemistry I/General Chemistry I Lab General Chemistry I is a one-semester course for sciencerelated majors and students in the premedical program. The course will introduce basic concepts in physical and inorganic chemistry. CHEM 124/CHEM 125 General Chemistry II/General Chemistry II Lab This is a course in kinetics, equilibrium, acid-base, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, metallurgy, nonmetals, nuclear chemistry, transition elements, and organic chemistry. CHEM 222/CHEM 223 Organic Chemistry I/Organic Chemistry I Lab This is a course in nomenclature and classification of organic molecules, in addition to the structure and reactivity of functional groups (hydrocarbons, alcohols, alkyl halides, alkadienes, and allylic systems). 54 | St. George’s University
