History
Saint James School of Medicine was established in Bonaire in 1999 and began instruction in 2000. In 2011, Saint James opened a second campus in Anguilla. In 2014, the School opened a third Caribbean medical school campus in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
At the conclusion of the Fall 2015 semester, Saint James Bonaire campus operations, students, and faculty were moved to the St. Vincent and the Grenadines campus.
Curriculum
The MD program at Saint James is a 10 semester course of study that consists of three semesters per calendar year, each semester lasting four months. Semesters 1-5 are basic sciences completed at one of the school's two Caribbean campuses (Anguilla and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines). Semester 5 (Advanced Introduction to Clinical Medicine) was completed at Jackson Park Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, but the location of completion of this semester has since been changed. Starting in September 2017, semester 5 will be completed in one of the two school campuses in either Saint Vincent or Anguilla. After completion, students are expected to complete the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Step 1, for which the school offers a pass guarantee
