About

Saint James School of Medicine is an international medical school, with two Caribbean medical schools on the islands of Anguilla, and St. Vincent. Hundreds of students have graduated from Saint James since the school was founded in 1999, and we have a current enrollment of around 1,300 students. Our students study Basic Sciences at one of our Caribbean medical schools then study Clinical Sciences through a clinical rotation program at affiliated hospitals in the US. Saint James School of Medicine was founded by a consortium of highly experienced medical educators and physicians from universities and colleges in the United States and Europe. Our goal is to offer students from the US and Canada a high quality, affordable medical education. The curriculum at Saint James prepares students for the United States Medical Licensure Examination (USMLE) and our graduates are eligible to practice as physicians in the US and Canada. Saint James School of Medicine in St. Vincent was originally located on the island of Bonaire. In Spring 2015 the Bonaire and St. Vincent campus merged to collective dedicate resources to give student the best medical education possible.
