SGU vs AUC

[HELENIC_SCHOLAR]

Members don't see this ad.

I'm not sure what happened to my thread. Hopefully it won't be ther twice.

I've been accepted to AUC and am now considering SGU. SGU's new website lacks a lot of info, such as:

1) What courses are taken each semester
2) # of semesters on Granada
3) # of semesters on St Vincett
4) When we start to get any king of clinical experience


Any info is greatly appreciated. 😱

SGU > AUC

1) prob similar
2) I think its first 4 on grenada
3) 5th on st vincent's
4) I think during the 5th.

I'm not positive since I'm not a SGU student, but lived with one during my step 1 prep and we compared programs from time to time.

I'm getting the following out of a booklet SGU sent me. they go by terms that don't correlate with semesters, but go as the following:

Year 1

Term 1 (17 weeks)
gross anatomy
embryology
histology and cell biology
biochemistry
clinical skills

Term 2 (18 weeks)
neuroscience
genetics
immunology
physiology
clinical skills
parisitology

Year 2

Term 3 (6 weeks)
behavioral science
jurisprudence and medical ethics
biostats and epidemiology

Term 4 (18 weeks)
microbiology
advanced clinical skills
pathology
basic and clinical nutrition

Term 5 (6 weeks) (i think this is when you move to St. Vincent)
pathophysiology I
pharmacology I
advanced clinical skills

Term 6 (12 weeks)
pathophysiology II
pharmacology II
advanced clinical skills

Year 3
Terms 7,8,9 - rotations
Year 4
Terms 10,11 - rotations


basically, you spend the first year and a half in grenada, then half a year in st. vincent. i don't think you get much clinical exposure until you get to st. vincent, but i'm sure there is some if you go actively looking for it. hope this helped 🙂
