St. George's University (SGU) is widely recognised as the largest provider of new doctors to the US healthcare system, with students and faculty from more than 150 countries. It offers a four-year Doctor of Medicine programme as well as five-, six- and seven-year Medical Degree Tracks, with entry points for students from any education system, and a network of more than 75 affiliated hospitals and health centres across the US and UK.
