Frequently Asked Questions

Where is St. Vincent and the Grenadines?

Southeast of the British Virgin Islands, north of Grenada. St. Vincent and the Grenadines is in the Lesser Antilles Island arc, in the southern portion of the Windward Islands, which lie at the southern end of the eastern border of the Caribbean Sea where the latter meets the Atlantic Ocean.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a hidden gem of the Caribbean, taking the number one spot in 2021’s “Top 25 Islands in the Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Bahamas” survey, part of the World’s Best Travel Awards program by Travel + Leisure magazine. The archipelago of 32 islands outranked places such as Bermuda, Turks and Caicos, Aruba, Barbados, and the British Virgin Islands, to name a few.

How long do students live on the island?

Students in Trinity’s MD Program spend their first 4 terms (16 months) at our Basic Science Campus on St. Vincent in the Carribbean. 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.

Is Trinity accredited?

Yes! Trinity is an accredited Caribbean medical school. Accreddited 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.

Do I have to schedule my own rotations?

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.

Can I match if I graduate from Trinity?

Contrary to internet myths, students who graduate from Caribbean medical schools do match in a wide range of specialties. Trinity students, for example, have a cumulative residency placement rate of 96%, with many graduates advancing to become chief residents within their programs.

Can I practice in Canada?

Yes. Trinity has students in residency and/or practicing in provinces across Canada. Trinity is recognized by the government of Canada as a Designated Educational Institution and students can obtain Canadian Student Loans (federal and provincial) to cover the cost of tuition.

Can I speak to an alum?

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.
