Four-Year MD Program

Basic Sciences in the Caribbean and U.S.-Based Clinical Training

Trinity School of Medicine’s four-year MD program prepares students to practice medicine in the U.S., Canada, and globally, while reflecting the academic standards of U.S. medical schools.Our curriculum follows an integrated spiral approach, allowing students to revisit core scientific concepts with increasing depth and clinical relevance. This structure reinforces long-term mastery and supports stronger performance as students progress from basic sciences to clinical training.

Trinity’s four-year MD program starts in the Caribbean. At our beautiful campus on St. Vincent, you’ll benefit from small class sizes that promote individualized support, early clinical experiences, and the cutting-edge education you’d expect from an accredited Caribbean medical school.

Following basic science coursework in the Caribbean, our four-year MD program will bring you to the U.S. for robust USMLE Step 1 preparation and clinical rotations at a single location.
