Saint James School of Medicine, a top rated Caribbean based medical school, announced today the opening of its third school located on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent. For the past 14 years, the Saint James School of Medicine group of medical schools has provided accessible, affordable and quality education to over 2,500 students.

It also has the largest population of the islands where Saint James has its schools, with over a hundred thousand people and a good infrastructure to support this. Popular American chains such as KFC and Pizza Hut, located in the same neighborhood as the new school, give students a sense of familiarity, reminding them that they are not too far from home. Whether it’s a visit to the Botanic Gardens, hiking through the mountainous terrain marked by rivers, rapids and waterfalls or relaxing on one of the prominent black sand beaches, students will enjoy all of what St. Vincent has to offer in addition to a quality education. “As the demand for qualified physicians escalates, medical schools limit the number of students, and the cost of medical education increases,” said Raj Mitra, Saint James’ Vice President of Enrollment. “Saint James School of Medicine’s continued growth will fulfill a vital role in providing quality healthcare in the US and Canada.” About Saint James School of Medicine Saint James School of Medicine is an accredited medical school with schools on the Caribbean islands of Bonaire, Anguilla and now St. Vincent.  The goal of Saint James School of Medicine is to offer students from the US and Canada a high quality, affordable medical education that prepares students for the United States Medical Licensure Examination (USMLE) and graduates are eligible to practice as physicians in the US and Canada.  Saint James students study the Basic Sciences at one of the island schools then move on to the Clinical Sciences through a clinical rotation program at affiliated hospitals in the US.
