St. George’s University (SGU), Grenada, West Indies in association with the Ramaiah Group of Institutions is set to host a series of interactive sessions for prospective medical students with SGU Alumni Dr. Ninad Desai in multiple cities.

Dr. Ninad Desai is an Academic Chief Resident specializing in Emergency Medicine at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, Brooklyn, New York. He will speak with aspiring medical students and their parents about his experiences as a medical student, living on campus, SGU’s guidance to clinical rotations, residency placements, USMLE preparations and more. Following this, the floor will be open for students and parents to engage with Dr. Desai and ask questions regarding his career and time at SGU.

As the largest source of doctors for the entire US workforce*, St. George’s University provides an opportunity for medical aspirants to pursue their international medical education.

Ramaiah, in association with St. George’s University, Grenada offers a 5-Year Medical Degree Pathway where students can complete their first year of the pathway in India, the second year either at Northumbria University in the UK or at SGU’s True Blue campus in Grenada, the third year in Grenada, and the last two years doing their clinical rotations either in the US or in the UK.

“SGU provided me with the opportunity to follow my ambition of becoming a doctor in the US. SGU’s Office of Career Guidance (OCG) was with me every step of the way, providing the necessary support and guidance in my student journey. However, most importantly, I gained a unique perspective on global healthcare systems during my time at SGU, which is essential to providing quality medical care,” adds Dr. Desai.
