Job Description
The St. George’s University of Grenada School of Medicine/ Northumbria University MD Programs is a joint venture between St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine, Grenada and Northumbria University, United Kingdom. The MD programs consist of 6, 5, and 4-year tracks, the entry point depending on a student’s academic qualifications, resulting in students studying for 1 or 2 years of pre-clinical sciences and/or the first year of Basic Sciences of SGU’s MD program from which students progress to year two of Basic Sciences in Grenada. The final two years of study connect traditional academic preparation with hands-on clinical experience. SGU offers clinical training available in the United States and the United Kingdom.
