BOSTON and TRUE BLUE,
Grenada, Dec. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, St. George's
University announced a new direct admission partnership with
Fisher College in Boston. The partnership establishes three
pipelines for qualified Fisher College
graduates to gain immediate entry to St.
George's Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine with a
guaranteed scholarship.
"We are delighted to partner with Fisher
College to help its most talented students pursue their
dreams of becoming doctors," said Dr. G. Richard Olds, President of St. George's University.
Students who wish to pursue a career in medicine or veterinary
medicine can take advantage of the "4+4" program, which will allow
them to advance to four-year M.D. or D.V.M. programs at
St. George's after completing all
prerequisites and their Bachelor's degree in Biology at Fisher. The
program will also grant them a $10,000 scholarship.
Under the "3+4 program," pre-med students who demonstrate
academic excellence will have the option to advance to the St.
George's M.D. program at the end of their third year at Fisher,
also with a $10,000 scholarship.
A "2+5" program will allow international students pursuing an
Associate's degree in Health Sciences at Fisher to proceed to
St. George's five-year M.D.
program with a $5,000 scholarship
upon graduation.
Students who wish to pursue the direct admissions programs at
St. George's must express interest
upon applying to Fisher College.
St. George's will waive
application fees for accepted students and grant priority status
for interviews and decisions.
In order to proceed to the St. George's
School of Medicine, students must maintain a 3.4 grade point
average at Fisher and obtain a competitive score on the MCAT. A 3.2
grade point average and competitive score on the GRE are required
for entry into the St. George's School of
Veterinary Medicine.
"We are excited to offer our students a seamless pathway to a
career in medicine," said Steve
Rich, President of Fisher
