History
Established in April 2006, All Saints University School of Medicine was founded by a group of medical and business professionals with more than 20 years of experience in medical education.[3] The Roseau campus opened in 2006, followed by the launch of a second campus in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines during 2011.[4][5] The student body grew steadily over the past decade and now welcomes hundreds of students on two campuses.[6][7] Dr. Terrence Marcelle is currently the Executive Dean of the university.[8]
Curriculum
Medical programs are open to both local and foreign students.[9] Citizens of Dominica automatically receive a 50% tuition scholarship.[10][11]
5 Year MD Program
The 5 Year MD Program is designed for recent high school graduates seeking direct admission into the study of medicine. The program consists of 4 semesters of premedical courses, including Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Math, and Introductory Anatomy.[12] This is followed by the structured curriculum in the 4 Year MD Program.[13]
4 Year MD Program
The 4 Year MD Program is for applicants who have completed a Bachelor of Science or the necessary prerequisites at an accredited school.[14][15] The program consists of 2 years in basic sciences that are conducted at the Dominica campus or the Saint Vincent campus. This is followed by 2 years of clinical clerkship in ACGME-approved teaching hospitals throughout the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and the Caribbean.[13][16] During this period, students must complete a minimum of 72 weeks in clinical rotations.[17] The rotations take place in the fields of Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Obstetrics/Gynecology, and Family Practice.[13]
