Trinity School of Medicine
Trinity School of Medicine is an opportunity, not just for its students, but for the US and Canada. By educating future physicians in the science of medicine while nurturing their caring instincts, we achieve our goal of improving access to quality healthcare.
Our approach to education is designed around the success of our students, in school and as
physicians. We heavily integrate clinical experience from day one of the basic science terms at
our affiliated teaching hospital. We offer small class sizes (25, not 250), with experienced and supportive faculty, and we always, always focus on patient-centric 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 Bascic Science Exam during Term 5.
During the core clerkships, lecture notes, e-books,
self assessment exams, and NBME Subject
exams support the course objectives.
