Five Things You Should Know About Trinity School of Medicine

Dean Dunbar

The Caribbean based Trinity School of Medicine (with administrative offices in Alpharetta, Georgia) recently approached Today’s Campus to assist in its search for medical science faculty. The following are five things you should know about Trinity School of Medicine:

1.) How does the school describe itself? 

Trinity is medical school located in the Caribbean started by a group of educational and business leaders who recognized that a physician shortage was imminent. In 2008, Trinity School of Medicine was granted full accreditation by the National Accreditation Board (NAB) of the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Trinity School of Medicine's accreditation is also approved by the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER) and lists Trinity in its International Medical Education Directory (IMED).

2.) What's the school famous for? 

Besides being located in the beautiful Caribbean, Trinity is known for providing students clinical experience in their first term. This can be accomplished due to its affiliation with a 220-bed teaching hospital. Lastly, Trinity prides itself on its low student to teacher ratio. 

3.) What's the campus like? 

The Trinity School of Medicine campus is located in the Ratho Mill district of Kingstown, the capital of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The Ratho Mill campus is convenient to the E. T. Joshua airport, downtown Kingstown and Milton Cato Memorial Hospital, where students engage in weekly clinical experience. The campus sits high on a hillside affording spectacular views that stretch to the nearby islands of Bequia and Mustique. The grounds boast a lush, tropical landscape that is bright and invigorating, an ideal atmosphere for the rigors of medical school.

4.) What is the local community like?

The quiet island of St. Vincent is often overlooked as a Caribbean hot spot as Vincentians are more engaged in fishing and farming than in the tourist trade. The lush, mountainous terrain is marked by rivers, rapids and waterfalls with prominent black sand beaches.

5.) Why should one become a member of the Trinity School of Medicine faculty?

We are proud to have some of the finest educators from the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and around the globe as our distinguished faculty at Trinity School of Medicine. At Trinity we provide our students with a scientific foundation for further medical education and equip each student for a lifetime of learning, research and/or clinical care and community service. Our faculty address the curriculum in interdisciplinary blocks that present the Foundations of Medicine in a clinical context co-directed by basic science and clinical faculty.
