If I am correct, and I believe I am, you can very probably find info by using the term "Grace University School of Medicine" in a search engine.

what kind of program is this? ••

Grace is basically the same program as any other carribean school with just a change of location. Just like Ross or St. George's it is an off-shore medical school intended for US citizens whereby the basic science courses are taught abroad (first two years) with clinical rotations then performed somewhere in the US (remaining two years). St. Christopher's is another carribean-type school operating out of the UK.

I don't know a great deal about either of these programs, only that neither of them are actual British medical schools (i.e. they aren't licensed by the UK's General Medical Council) and apparently both are controversial and each has different issues regarding their charter.

Hope that helps.
