One of the best kept secrets in Caribbean Medical Schools | Trinity School of Medicine

We are pleased to announce residency match results for 2021! Once again, Trinity graduates continue to represent our school in placements at top healthcare institutions across the U.S.

If becoming a doctor is your dream job, you'll spend a great deal of your time wondering if you can get into medical school. Considering how competitive medical school is, it's no surprise that you might wonder if you can even successfully get accepted into a program. This is especially true when you consider that more than half of students who apply to med school aren't accepted.

Rowell, GA: Trinity School of Medicine today announced a new partnership with South Georgia State College. This partnership will create a guaranteed pathway to an accredited medical school for South Georgia State College (SGSC) students seeking to become physicians and advance healthcare opportunities in Southeast Georgia.

Abdulai Bangura is a third year student at Trinity School of Medicine and the first Caribbean medical student to be selected as an Orthopedic Surgery Research Fellow at the University of Maryland where he is currently serving.

Abdulai stayed true to caring nature and his desire to serve others and followed his passion to become a doctor all the way down to the Caribbean. He was motivated to pursue medicine after he overcame a health complication that threatened life as he knew it during high school. The physician and experience “was so impactful that I was inspired to do the same for others.” Abdulai had the “why” part of pursuing medicine, but unfortunately, his grades during his undergraduate years prevented his acceptance into traditional US-based medical schools.   Determined to achieve his goal, he started investigating Caribbean schools and found Trinity. He saw Trinity was growing quickly and had the desired accreditation. The school peaked Abdulai’s interests, stating, “I gathered that the faculty was heavily invested in the growth of the school. I am glad to be a part of this growth. Trinity has continued to exceed their benchmarks… If I could go back in time, I’d choose Trinity again.”

Pursuing a career as a doctor is full of challenges that need to be met in order to realize your dream. One of these is being able to match into a residency program that is aligned with your goals and interests. 

Fortunately, Trinity School of Medicine provides its students with ample support and guidance including ways to get into the residency you want.
