A Typical Day at St. George's University // School of Medicine

[@MayurUPatel]

left Grenada in 2018. so many memories came back watching this video.

[@voolerie]

Watching this made me miss the island!! Currently entering PGY-1 intern year as Family Medicine Resident! Good luckk with your Medical Journey!:)

[@kravyets5511]

how did you enjoy the school overall? im thinking of trying to transfer here

[@voolerie]

@@kravyets5511 I really liked it. Obv like any medical school, its tough! But the island itself is super safe + easy to live on, the teachers are good, and they had all the necessary tools to help you enter rotations + residency

[@kravyets5511]

@@voolerie Hi Valerie, thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Thats my biggest concern is the quality of the teachers & the resources the school provides like the labs, clinical rotations at the hospital, etc; because the school im at now is really hit or miss with alot of things & if you saw the campus and labs it has you wonder where all our tuition is actually going. Im in the beginning steps talking with admissions at St George so fingers crossed.

Awesome video!

[@hossainmalek885]

one question: I've heard that in SGU, the students are kept in groups of 13-20 for the dissection classes. meaning that there are 13-20 students for every cadaver. This is a really big issue as not everyone in those 13-20 students got to do something in the dissection classes. and i've heard that the school barely allows you to do much in those classes. if this is true, then prospective students wishing to be surgeons might need to rethink applying to SGU. could you tell the facts and how YOUR dissection classes are. thank you

[@hossainmalek885]

hey man, great video! i had a question of the availability of Halal foods(for muslims) in grenada. are there any shops/restaurants that offer Halal food on campus? or even on the island?

[@luisalfredo74]

Damn I miss the island i am a 3rd yr studnt sgu

[@kevinpaularg]

Great video! What apartment complex do you live in? Trying to find a good one for my wife and Medium sized dog

[@yoidkldk]

Pen to paper! Best way to do it for retention !

[@yoidkldk]

Do you use notecards? For myself if I had a whiteboard and I'm thinking about buying one even though I'm not in medical medical school yet is put down a major concept on the front of the notecard in big black permanent marker. On the back, put down the main details of that big concept. Look at the front of that notecard and try to remember all the critical points. Try to write on the Whiteboard those particular points. Finally grade yourself. If there were 10 points that were critical and you only remember eight of them then you scored an 80%

[@everydayeasterdays]

I do use notecards some for repetition and critical information. I like using multiple resources so that I’m not always doing the same thing everyday. Thanks for the comment!

[@onyapidi5174]

Great approach. One other useful way is associate each point with an image/part in your own body...for instance complications of right sided heart failure...every point you read...move systematically along with your own body or do a sketchman. If that helps...

Big up 🇬🇩👍🏿

[@setarehmariposa9571]

Hello! i am term 2 currently and online. I will term3/4 in spring. I am currently in dispute between going to the island vs staying online. I also was wondering when do you suggest to start step 1 studying? We have to take it at the end of term 5 yes?

[@everydayeasterdays]

Hello, I love it here on the island and think it has helped me to focus. There are fewer distractions here and everyone is trying to accomplish the same thing. I'd definitely recommend it. For Step 1 studying- you pretty much do this for all of term 5. I personally haven't started dedicated studying for step. Good luck to you

[@kerryh2096]

There's an option to be online? is this only with the pandemic I'm guessing. Im applying next cycle from here in NYC.

[@kerryh2096]

@@everydayeasterdays I know some people only speak on the positives of the Caribbean schools, I don't know if it's because they don't want any issues from the administration seeing the video, but do you have any pros/cons? Is lecture attendance mandatory? I hear some schools allow you to just access the recorded lectures.

[@madavankutty497]

What MCAT score need for admission??

[@zionitesindiaspora]

Lovely, I start my MSAP in November. Any advice?

[@everydayeasterdays]

Thank you! I didn’t do the MSAP myself, but I know it was helpful for some of my classmates. My general advice for medical school is stick to a routine everyday (take breaks when needed). I try to do at least 5 passes on each lecture before the exams. Anki is great and I do videos on relevant topics. Make sure you do lots of practices questions. Also, I hope to do videos on my study schedule in the future so don’t forget to subscribe!

[@ash.toronto31]

I just finished august msap and passed it.

[@zionitesindiaspora]

@@ash.toronto31 oh congratulations 👏,any advice to Ace it?

[@dari.kj5]

Hey I did CFP in august and pass which is a longer version but better than MSAP from what I heard, but there where some students in cfp that failed msap and were placed in cfp. The two programs are similar but MSAP is wayyyyy faster. My advice for you is DO NOT FALL BEHIND. Pre read and post read on the same day. Please make a schedule for everything. If they offer extra help sessions go to them and do alllllll the extra worksheets and quizzes from the tutors. Heads up on what to start to learn most of the muscles of the human body, what nerves innervate them and the action ( extension, flexion, Dorisflexion, abduction. Learn all 12 cranial nerves, pay attentions to lab photos. White board all of the pathways for biochemistry. PLEASE GET 7~8 hours of sleep. Your brain needs the sleep to properly process, store the information you learned or it will be hard for you to remember. Good Luck , don’t give up!

[@zionitesindiaspora]

@@dari.kj5 thank you, our final is tomorrow 🥲

[@adarshjadhav3911]

can a indian mbbs graduate do masters in sgu?? if yes then how ...what all exams n whats the pathway?

[@everydayeasterdays]

I am not sure what the process is for an MBBS graduate. Thanks for the comment

[@cobroke]

Do you have any concerns about the abysmal (as far as I've heard) match rates especially for competitive specialties?

[@hippityhoppity71]

Same concern. Would like to know about it

[@tiger2684]

pretty much just know what you're getting yourself into. If you plan on going into a competitive speciality, then probably don't go to the Caribbean school. If you want to do a less competitive residency, sgu has good match rates for family, internal, emergency, peds, and psych.

[@cobroke]

@@tiger2684 I wanted Anesthesia so idk if SGU is the right move for that.

[@tiger2684]

@@cobroke Yeah anesthesia is pretty competitive. I think only like 1% of the graduating class of SGU matched into anesthesiology in 2022. I don't think SGU is a good fit for that. Keep applying to US schools would be my advice. Good luck !

Could you tell me your age please?😳
