CLINICAL TUTORS TEACHING AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
St. George’s University School of Medicine is a part of the leading international educational institution in the Caribbean; St. George’s University is based in Grenada. The University has Schools of Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Arts and Sciences and Graduate School. It admits about 350 students every six months to pursue the MD Program. The students and faculty are drawn from all over the world (about 80 countries at the last count). They study the basic sciences program for two years in the Caribbean and complete the final two years of clinical clerkship in the United States of America and the United Kingdom at the affiliated hospitals. The school has demonstrated a very high success rate of its students in the USMLE exams. The university boasts of a beautiful campus (www.sgu.edu).

The clinical tutor fellowship program is a unique locally developed program designed for recently graduated physicians from around the world who wants to embellish their teaching and communication skills and at the same time pursue board exams (USMLE, PLAB) to get into post graduate residency programs. The tutors are recruited initially for one year and upon satisfactory performance are renewed for another year. During their period they are expected to pass the board exams and move on to other countries for their postgraduate training.

The main duty of the Clinical tutor includes supervision of small group sessions and teaching lab sessions for the medical students. They will be trained for this by attending the lectures in the discipline and preview sessions with the senior faculty members. They are expected to put in 40 working hours per week. Additional duties include – conducting review sessions on a need basis in the off hours, proctoring of exams, serving in the University Health Clinic, the General Hospital and the community health fairs as and when required. Some departments conduct journal review sessions on an optional basis. The university provides fairly good computer facilities and internet access for the faculty and students.

The salary for the clinical tutor is comparable to the PGY-1 salary of the United States (approximately 34,000 US dollars per year). The tax rate for foreigners in Grenada is 12.5%. The tutors are expected to make their own arrangement for accommodation, transportation and medical insurance. The usual rental for a single bedroom apartment is approximately US $600.00 per month. The University runs a free bus service for faculty, staff and students to service areas near the school. The tutors are entitled to three (3) weeks of study leave each year and this has to be taken at the time approved by the Chair of the concerned department based on the teaching activity of the course.

Most clinical tutors have done well in the USMLE/PLAB exams. In the spring 2005 term, 12 out of 25 tutors found postgraduate residencies in the United Stated. The tutors also get an opportunity to meet with several distinguished visiting professors, from North

America and the United Kingdom. They also get to attend international CMEs conducted locally and get certified in CPR, ACLS and OSHA.

Grenada is a small, beautiful Caribbean island with a tropical climate. English is the official language. It is well connected to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the surrounding Caribbean islands by several airlines. Grenada is a favored destination of several cruise ships because of its natural beauty and sun kissed beaches. The currency is Eastern Caribbean Dollars; EC (approximately 2.67EC to a US Dollar) and is freely convertible. For more information on Grenada log on to www.spiceisle.com
