Studying medicine is one of the most expensive education streams in the world where the average cost to completionin the United States is more than 200 thousand USD. In most cases, this large price tag becomes a principal determining factor in whether a student chooses this profession or not.
This is particularly true for students who may not have significant disposable incomes. As far as the Caribbean is concerned, most accredited medical schools in the region charge prices that are at par with the United States, if not more.
However, Saint James School of Medicine is on a mission to change that. Since its inception in 1999, the college has served the singular purpose of providing medical education at affordable prices, and even now, the cost to get a medical degree is less than 100 thousand dollars. In fact, it is one of the few accreditedmedical schools in the Caribbean whose total cost is less than $ 100,000.
The institution was established by Dr. Kallol Guha after spending well over two decades teaching in some of the leading Caribbean medical colleges and saw firsthand how exorbitant tuition charges affected the students. It was in 1999 that he finally decided to act on the problem of affordability and came up with the Saint James School of Medicine.
Unlike the other Caribbean medical schools, Saint James is family owned and is not beholden to shareholders or corporate investors, so you know the school is working in the best interest of the students.
