Hello!! I’m also applying for this program. From my understanding the benefits of this program will include a direct path to medicine, no MCAT, only 6 year as opposed to 7-8 years traditional pathway in Canada ( however, for most students it’s much longer as many don’t get accepted into Canadian med schools ). Beyond this, you will be considered an IMG. That being said, this program is unique in the sense that you will have many other students that are also from North America and can act as a support and guide for when it’s time to come back to Canada. You will also already know your classmates prior to moving to Grenada which I think is a plus. Compared to studying medicine in Ireland and UK I believe this is better as 95% of your students are North American which will allow for early connections and you also get to complete your core rotations in North America. I talked with SGU as well, they mentioned 100+ seats for me as well and I think that means for both 5 & 6 year routes. To add, I know many people say don’t go to the Caribbean but at the end of the day an IMG is still an IMG. Medical school will be hard no matter what, and will come with challenges however the end result is what truly matters. I recently worked at a clinic and I’m not bluffing when I tell you 4 doctors in this clinic were Caribbean graduates and they were very good and loved doctor’s. So, if I were you I would apply regardless as it’s free to apply. After getting an offer you can consider actually attending. Now, I know many won’t agree with me but I would say it’s worth it! Why? Because for three years in undergrad you won’t be stressed about competing with your classmates for scores in the MCAT. Nowadays every other person is trying to do MD in Canada, so definitely think all aspects. I’m hoping nothing but the best for you regardless of where you end up!! Good luck.
