Saint James School Of Medicine

Saint James School of Medicine is an international medical school with campuses in Anguilla and St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean. Students first study Basic Sciences at one of their Caribbean campuses before moving on to Clinical Sciences via a clinical rotation program at affiliated hospitals in the United States. Saint James School of Medicine was established in 1999 by a group of medical educators and physicians from universities and colleges throughout the United States and Europe. Since the school's inception, hundreds of students have graduated. They currently have around 1,000 students enrolled.

The overall goal of the SJSM medical education program is to instill in students the necessary and enduring knowledge, abilities (skills), and behaviors (values, attitudes, and dispositions) that will effectively prepare them to enter and complete post-graduate training in the international healthcare environment. Graduates will have a clinical knowledge base appropriate for first-year residents at the end of their education, will be well prepared to provide care to patients in both ambulatory and hospital settings, will be skilled in knowledge acquisition tools required for lifelong learning, will deal professionally with the ethical, legal, and economic realities of twenty-first-century medicine and health care delivery systems will qualify for licensure and will be able to provide competent and compassionate medical care or pursue other careers such as research.

Another goal of SJSM is to reassure students, parents, patients, postgraduate training directors, licensing authorities, government regulators, and society that its medical programs meet widely accepted professional education standards and serve the public interest. Their program is intended to meet the competency requirements of the professional and academic communities in the United States and around the world.
