Med/Vet Summer Academy

The Med/Vet Summer Academy offers an opportunity of a lifetime for students interested in the fields of medicine or veterinary medicine. For over 6 years, this exceptional program has balanced a challenging academic program rooted in SGU's 30 year history with extracurricular activities selected to highlight the culture and innate beauty of Grenada.

Each 10-day premedical and preveterinary medical course combines didactic lectures, small-group problem solving sessions, practical lab work in state-of-the art facilities, as well as hands-on training through simulated and real-life situations. The students' experience is further enhanced through several adventurous and educational off-campus excursions including snorkeling, dolphin watching, hiking and Island touring.

Qualifying participants will receive college credit through the School of Arts and Sciences from participation in lectures and clinical practicals.
