Yes! Trinity’s accreditation by CAAM-HP, the primary accrediting authority for Caribbean medical schools, enables our graduates to participate in the residency match processes in the United States and Canada, as well as apply for residencies and licensure in both countries.

All rotations are scheduled by a Trinity clerkship administrator. Students rotate with a low preceptor-to-student ratio and can complete their full 48 weeks of core rotations in one location at our affiliated hospitals and clinics – no moving around from city to city, no waiting for rotations slots to open, and no gaps between rotations.

Absolutely. Trinity students have a cumulative residency placement rate of 96%, with many graduates going on to become chief residents within their programs.

Trinity School of Medicine has an exceptionally high volume of clinical training. There are two main phases to Trinity’s formal clinical offering. The first is in St. Vincent, the second is in the United States. Trinity students spend their first five terms in St. Vincent, utilizing the classrooms and labs on campus while also gaining practical experience at the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital, a 230-bed teaching hospital affiliated with the campus.

The second phase of Trinity School of Medicine’s MD program consists of clinical clerkships in the U.S., conducted in hospitals and medical facilities where students utilize what they’ve learned in the basic science courses and the Introduction to Clinical and Community Medicine courses. Under the supervision of faculty physicians, students participate in 48 weeks of required core clerkships and 27 weeks of elective clerkships. From the different clerkships, students obtain clinical expertise in the basic disciplines in preparation for advanced training during their residencies. There are no waiting lists for core rotations at Trinity School of Medicine. No student is admitted to the school without us knowing there is a slot available for them when they start their rotations.

The 27 weeks of elective clerkships are strategically chosen on an individual basis to strengthen students’ skills and visibility within specialties or geographies of specific interests for their postgraduate education (residency).

Yes. As of January 1, 2020, graduates of Trinity School of Medicine can match into residencies and obtain medical licenses in California. To read more on the topic, click here.

Yes! Ground-breaking medical innovation starts with research. At Trinity, we offer numerous research opportunities to students driven by their desire to solve a problem. Research at Trinity is not limited to a specific area and students are encouraged to partner with professors, peers and preceptors on publications, projects, and presentations in their interest areas of practice.

As is the case with any medical school, the students are busy. While the students are bright and competitive, the stereotype of the cutthroat medical student is largely absent at Trinity. This is by design. Trinity’s small class size and supportive atmosphere is cultivated to create a safe, distraction-free environment where students can meet their full potential as future doctors.

Trinity’s small class sizes also mean students aren’t just building knowledge – they are building friendships. Building strong and lasting friendships is impossible at most medical schools, where students are in a sea of hundreds. Trinity is proud to provide a setting where students can build friendships and benefit from the constant support only close peer groups provide.

Although the majority of students’ time is focused on their studies, St. Vincent provides a beautiful, tropical background with ecotourism opportunities, beautiful beaches, and wonderfully welcoming people. There are many opportunities to explore the island, participate in group activities, and relax between exams.

The Argyle International Airport is located about fifteen minutes from campus and is serviced by regional carriers, including Liat and SVG Air as well as Caribbean Airlines and Air Canada. Air Canada flies direct from Toronto and Caribbean Airlines flies direct from New York City. Other international flights are routed first through nearby Barbados before making a connection to St. Vincent.

Yes! We frequently host “From an Insider” webinars where we have an alum as a guest. This is a great way to ask questions and have them answered live in a group setting. If you prefer a one-on-one conversation, just reach out to admissions and they will connect you with a graduate.

Studies have shown that higher academic results are achieved in an inclusive and diverse campus environment. This type of campus culture promotes the ability to hear and understand someone of a different background and creates a higher level of self-awareness that future doctors need to be successful in their practice.

Trinity School of Medicine continues to build upon the groundwork of our founders and their commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity. We believe educating students in environments that value diversity and inclusion has a positive impact on students’ attitudes regarding access to care. Additionally, these environments produce graduates who are better prepared to practice in a variety of communities. This approach is keeping with our mission to improve access to quality healthcare.

Students in Trinity’s MD Program spend their first 4 terms (16 months) at our Basic Science Campus in St. Vincent. As with most medical schools, Trinity students enjoy breaks between terms, during which they can explore the islands or travel home to visit family and friends.

Trinity students have a truly unique opportunity to participate in the pediatric care mission of a remarkable organization, World Pediatrics. World Pediatrics serves at-risk children throughout the Caribbean region through its teams of volunteer physicians and a world-class operating facility in St. Vincent for specialty surgeries. Trinity students may volunteer to serve supporting roles in surgical cases and participate in care discussions with surgical teams.

In addition to World Pediatrics, Trinity students have many other opportunities to serve and learn within the medical community. The Rotary Village Doctor program allows the people of St. Vincent the opportunity to be seen by a number of volunteer specialists on a single day, in a single location. Trinity students triage over 100 patients a day at these scheduled events. Early patient interaction and exposure to clinical situations provide a great benefit to Trinity students and also allow the student the opportunity to give back to the community of St. Vincent.

Participating in these unique opportunities provides not only a sense of personal fulfillment – it also strengthens students’ applications to residency by spotlighting qualities of compassion, humanity, and desire to be a force for good.

Trinity has a wide variety of student organizations, all of which lead to deep lasting personal and professional relationships. Beyond that, Trinity’s guest lecturers, visiting faculty, and full-time faculty all take special interest in our students. Small class sizes allow for professional relationships to develop early on, offering both mentorship opportunities and a connection to the greater healthcare community.

Trinity students spend their 3rd and 4th years in one location for clerkships, where relationships with program directors, hospital administrators, and physicians can be built and nurtured. The ability to spend 4 terms in the same community with the same medical professionals provides the opportunity to build a strong foundation for lifelong relationships. This experience is unique to Trinity due to our clerkship program structure.

This is a common source of confusion for people considering a Caribbean medical school.

States don’t actually offer accreditation, nor does the United States accredit foreign medical schools. There are, however, federally recognized international accreditation authorities. In that respect, Trinity’s accreditation is valid in all 50 states.

However, in some states, there is the matter of independent medical board approvals. The number of states utilizing this system is shrinking as more and more states recognize ECFMG and NCFMEA decisions as sufficient standards of quality. State independent medical boards do not only offer “approved” or “unapproved” statuses; there is also “unevaluated.” In most states, graduates from an unevaluated school can still obtain a license or match into a residency.

Trinity Medical School is committed to upholding medical school accreditation standards. It undergoes regular evaluations and self-assessments to ensure compliance with the accrediting body’s requirements. The school continuously improves its curriculum, faculty qualifications, and educational resources to maintain the high standards set by the accrediting organization.

As of May 28, 2018, Trinity School of Medicine is listed as a Designated Educational Institution by the Canadian Government (code ZUCF). Canadian citizens may now obtain federal and provincial student loans to aid in the cost of attending Trinity. Trinity is an approved educational institution outside of Canada, meaning tuition and fees are tax deductible.

For students who still need a private loan option beyond federal and provincial funding, we proudly offer additional options: National Bank of Canada, Canada Trust, Royal Bank of Canada, and Bank of Montreal. In addition, there are scholarships and grants available for Canadian students.

Yes. Trinity offers merit scholarships, financial hardship grants, and public service grants, among others.

Yes. As a veteran of the armed forces, students may be eligible for benefits that cover tuition, fees, housing, textbooks, and other supplies.

Trinity is proud to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program, a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. This program allows degree granting institutions of higher learning to voluntarily enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs to fund tuition expenses that exceed the annual VA tuition and fees benefit.

Trinity has established a Yellow Ribbon Fund and each qualifying student-veteran receives $7,500 per academic year towards the cost of their tuition. The VA will then match this amount for the same period, resulting in a total annual funding of $15,000 in addition to other benefits offered through the Post 911 GI Bill Program.

Veterans can check online or at their regional VA office to confirm eligibility requirements before applying.

Yes, Canadian students can be eligible for residency and licensing in their home country after graduation from a Caribbean med school. The most important consideration here is whether or not the medical school is accredited by the appropriate governing body and adheres to international standards.

At Trinity, we are accredited by the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and Other Health Professions (CAAM-HP), the leading accrediting authority for Caribbean medical schools, which qualifies our graduates to enter residency and become licensed to practice medicine in any Canadian province.

Upon graduating, our students are eligible to take both the MCCQE (Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Exams) and USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Exam) and apply to residency programs in Canada or the United States.

Additionally, Trinity meets all standards put forth by the Education Committee for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) 2024 Rule that puts additional restrictions on foreign medical school graduates.

Canada is home to 17 medical schools and, as of 2020, over 10,000 medical school applicants. Much like the United States, Canada has also seen an increased demand for physicians due to shortages in key medical specialties, such as family medicine.

However, Canadian medical school applicants may find it difficult to gain admission due to the limited number of available spots in Canada’s medical schools. Canadian schools further complicate the process by reserving matriculant spaces for in-province students, making cross-country admissions even more unlikely. This is where Caribbean medical schools offer a potential solution by providing an opportunity for aspiring physicians to receive their Doctor of Medicine degree and become licensed to practice medicine in North America.

Caribbean medical schools can offer a variety of programs and concentrations tailored to the needs of Canadian applicants. These include basic medical sciences, clinical rotations in North America, public health courses, research opportunities, electives, and more.

When researching Caribbean medical schools, look for accredited institutions that offer a curriculum that is comparable to North American schools. You’ll also want to make sure that your medical school of choice provides early, frequent clinical training opportunities to prepare you for residency and beyond. Canadian students at Trinity are eligible to do “away electives” in Canada to gain direct experience working in Canadian hospitals. This type of clinical training will not only help students as they apply for residencies back home, but also prepare them for working as full-time Canadian physicians following their residencies.

Caribbean medical schools are not all identical. The advantages that Caribbean schools might offer for Canadian applicants will vary based on the quality of the school, its faculty and staff, and the opportunities the school provides.

At Trinity, we offer a variety of unique benefits to Canadian applicants. Our Caribbean medical school offers a more intimate learning environment than many North American schools. In addition, we offer several “away electives” in Canada, allowing you to further your education in your own backyard.

The curriculum of Caribbean medical schools is in many ways similar to those of North American universities. For example, the curriculum at Trinity School of Medicine is modeled on the U.S. medical school educational standards and focuses heavily on early clinical exposure as well as traditional lectures and seminars.

The transfer of credits from a Caribbean medical school to a Canadian medical school depends on the type of program and institution. In general, most universities will accept course credits from accredited Caribbean medical schools as long as they meet their academic standards. Additionally, many institutions offer special transfer programs that allow students to apply credits earned in one school toward a degree at another. It is important to check with your prospective school for details about their transfer policy before enrolling in a Caribbean medical school, particularly if you plan to transfer at some point.

All students planning to enter residency in Canada or the United States should first make sure that their Caribbean medical school of choice is appropriately accredited by the CAAM-HP.

However, the best Caribbean medical school for Canadian students depends on the applicant’s individual needs and goals. There are no official Caribbean medical school rankings, so applicants should conduct their own research, including asking Canadian alumni about their experience during and after med school.

At Trinity, we know that the Canadian medical student experience is unique. Our Canadian Advisory Board is here to help. Our Canadian Advisory board is headed by Dr. Paul Cooper who is a Neuro Professor in Western University School of Medicine. Together with other successful alumni, the board helps Canadians match into Canada by giving them an in-depth review and recommendations for their electives to help them match into a Canadian Residency.

The cost of tuition for Caribbean medical schools is generally lower than for other medical schools across Canada and the world. The exact amount depends on the school and program.

When considering your medical school financial plan, look for Caribbean medical schools that are considered Designated Educational Institutions by the Canadian government. This designation qualifies Canadian citizens to receive federal and provincial student loans to attend medical school, making the cost considerably more affordable for many students.

Scholarships are another crucial component of medical school affordability, both internationally and in North America. Before applying to medical school in the Caribbean, discuss all financial options with your admissions counselor and confirm which scholarships and grants may be available to Canadian applicants.

At Trinity, we offer a number of scholarships and grants to Canadian students to help offset the costs of med school. Providing transparent financial information and resources helps students feel confident in their medical school decision; for more information on Trinity’s tuition and fees, read more here or reach out to an admissions counselor.
