St. George’s University (SGU) says it has established a partnership with the University of North Alabama for graduates there to gain immediate entry to the St. George’s Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine.
St. George’s University says its program offers students a seamless transition along the way to these vital professions, both of which are currently facing extreme shortages.
The partnership establishes a “4+4” program, in which students spend four years at each institution.
Those who wish to qualify must express their interest at the time they apply to the University of North Alabama.
To ensure they can proceed to St. George’s, students must complete all undergraduate coursework, meet minimum grade point averages, and score competitively on the Medical College Admission Test or the Graduate Record Examination.
St. George’s University says it will waive application fees and fast-track students in the program for application review, interviews, and admission decisions.
All students in the program offered medical school admission are guaranteed a $10,000 scholarship.
Accepted students will also get the opportunity to visit the SGU campus on an all-expenses-paid trip.
Those who enter St. George’s University School of Medicine will be eligible to complete their first two years of study in Grenada, or they can complete their first year at Northumbria University in the United Kingdom and second year in Grenada.
Veterinary students will be eligible to complete three years of study in Grenada and their final clinical year within SGU’s network of 30-plus affiliates located in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
