USMLE prep and clinicals in US Hospitals
Our students do their USMLE prep and clinical rotations alongside students from some of America’s best medical schools at a fraction of the cost. The Clinical Sciences component of our MD Program is completed over six semesters (96 weeks) at affiliated hospitals and clinical facilities in the US.
Saint James is the only medical school in the Caribbean that guarantees clinical rotations in the United States and currently we have no waiting time for rotations. We have a strong established network of US hospitals and clinical institutions and constantly invest in growing these affiliations.
The first part of Clinical Sciences is an Advanced Introduction to Clinical Medicine. This takes place in Chicago at an affiliated hospital and consists of eight weeks of intensive preparation and review for the USMLE Step 1, followed by eight weeks of introductory concepts in clinical medicine, including rotations through various departments.
Gain the skills you need for your residency
Clinical Sciences prepare our medical students to function effectively in a clinical setting. Students participate in patient care while rotating through various medical specialties in the hospitals. Training includes physical examination, laboratory analysis, case presentations, clinical workshops and conferences. The student receives personalized guidance from the clinical faculty and develops skills and knowledge for their residency.
Clinical training at Saint James is divided into 48 weeks of core clerkships and 48 weeks of elective rotations. For more information on our Clinical Science curriculum click here.
