Your clinical education at Saba University School of Medicine takes place primarily in the second half of your academic program: Semesters 6 to 10—your final semesters before earning your M.D. and entering a residency program.
During your clinical years you will be called upon to absorb new material from lectures, books and notes while also applying and synthesizing what you have learned in a series of rotations on the wards of teaching hospitals in the U.S. and Canada that are affiliated with Saba University School of Medicine.
The Saba University Clinical Medicine program consists of 72 weeks of rotations:
- 42 weeks of required core rotations in Surgery, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Obstetrics and Gynecology.
- 30 weeks of elective clinical rotations that the student may select based upon their projected medical specialty.
During your clinical education, your success depends not only on what you know, but how quickly you are able to summon it and how much of a team player you are in working with other students, residents and attending physicians. Professionalism, reliability and humility combined with a superb execution of core clinical skills are the keys to success.
