Why Trinity School of Medicine?
Trinity is an academic institution with the same drive its students show towards their own futures. The school opened in 2008 with a goal of providing greater opportunity to qualified medical students that didn't find the right fit in the US and Canadian systems. Taking every opportunity to grow and evolve the already proven method of early clinical experience, extensive USMLE preparation, and a culture of support, the school's reach and its graduates' success have only grown (while retaining the school's trademark agility and personal approach to education). Trinity is accredited by the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and other Health Professions (CAAM-HP), the legally constituted body established to accredit medical programs in the Caribbean. The standards used by the CAAM-HP are based on the United States medical school accreditation program as outlined by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). As such, it is concurrently recognized as a viable academic course in the United States.

Trinity Student Advantage
Immediate Clinical Experience Because of Trinity’s affiliation with Milton Cato Memorial Hospital, a 230-bed teaching hospital, clinical experience begins in the first term and continues through term five at the St. Vincent campus. Incoming Classes Sized to Match Learning Styles Trinity limits the number of incoming students in the January and May start terms to maintain smaller classes and provide a lower student to faculty ratio. Students who select to matriculate in September will experience the community and camaraderie that continues to grow along with the student body.
Comprehensive USMLE Preparation The curriculum contains comprehensive USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK preparation. This includes the use of NBME discipline exams at the end of terms 2 and 4, several formative diagnostic exams, and the NBME Comprehensive Basic Science Exam during Term 5. During the core clerkships, lecture notes, e-books, self assessment exams, and NBME Subject exams support the course objectives.

On Campus in St. Vincent The Trinity School of Medicine campus is located in the Ratho Mill district of Kingstown, the capital of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The Ratho Mill campus is convenient to the E. T. Joshua Airport, downtown Kingstown and Milton Cato Memorial Hospital, where students engage in their clinical education. The campus sits high on a hillside affording spectacular views that stretch to the nearby islands of Bequia and Mustique. The grounds boast a lush, tropical landscape that is bright and invigorating, an ideal atmosphere for the rigors of medical school.
PRE-MEDICAL COURSES • 3-4 TERMS (12-16 MONTHS) DEPENDING ON COMPLETED PRE-REQUISITES BASIC SCIENCES • TERMS 4 (16 MONTHS) • ADVANCED INTRO TO CLINICAL & COMMUNITY MEDICINE (4 MONTHS) CLINICAL SCIENCES • CORE CLERKSHIPS: 75 WEEKS • ELECTIVE CLERKSHIPS: 27 WEEKS Is acceptance into the MD or Doctor of Medicine program automatic if I pass my Pre-Medical courses? Like any other undergraduate program, certain criteria must be met in order to be enrolled in the Doctor of Medicine program, including a sufficient Grade Point Average in the core sciences. Students who successfully complete all requirements of the Pre-Medical year with a minimum of a 3.0 cumulative grade point average with no more than three (3) grades lower than a B will be considered for promotion to Trinity School of Medicine's Doctor of Medicine degree program. What is the advantage of Trinity's Five-Year Program? Enrollment in Trinity School of Medicine's 5-Year Program will better prepare you for achieving residency and licensure in the United States. The class size for the first year (3 terms) is limited to 25 students. You will attend classes in a year round format (trimesters) building towards promotion to the MD program in year two. The curriculum was designed with the same pre-requisites US students complete to offer you a level playing field for Step 1, Step 2 CS and CK and residency. Other advantages include: • Instruction from, and interaction with, the MD faculty and students • Classes held on the Medical School campus • Testing and preparation beginning in the Pre-Medical program to better prepare you for a strong score on NBME and USMLE type exams • Earlier acclimation to the island, climate, faculty, and school, prior to the more demanding MD curriculum • Opportunities to shadow faculty and students at the hospital, and be mentored by medical students and tutors who have mastered the basic science coursework of the MD program • Ability to determine early in your studies if medicine is the right choice for you Why Baltimore for Clinical Clerkships? This is where it all began. Sir William Osler, one of the founders of modern medicine, established the concept of having third and fourth year medical students work with patients in the hospital, pioneering the practice of bedside teaching. Osler introduced clerkship training at Johns Hopkins Hospital, in Baltimore Maryland. Today, Trinity School of Medicine students follow the tried and true approach that was established by Sir William Osler and attend weekly Grand Rounds at Johns Hopkins, the same institution where Osler, as physician-in-chief, forever changed the way physicians were taught the practice of medicine.
