Details about the Pre-Med Program (if available):

The seven–year Doctor of Medicine program is designed for students who have secondary school credentials who need to study a complete course in the foundation sciences necessary to be successful in the medical degree program. With a focus on preclinical sciences, social sciences, and humanities, the seven–year entry point offers this necessary foundation.

Dual BS/MD Degree Option

The first two years of the four-year MD program concentrate on the traditional basic science disciplines on the True Blue campus in Grenada. 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 the clinical medicine into basic sciences at the General Hospital in Grenada.

Students may also consider completing the first year of basic science education on the campus of Northumbria University in the United Kingdom as part of the Keith B. Taylor Global Scholars Program.
