Physicians associated with St. George’s University (SGU) have offered professional care to residents of Grenada for many years. The value of their service is incalculable, and the presence of SGU’s skilled physicians has meant the difference between life and death for several residents of Grenada. Full time faculty physicians and visiting professors in Grenada during Years 1 and 2 must observe the following regulations if they wish to practice medicine while in Grenada. They:
- must be licensed in Grenada and have obtained permission from the senior associate dean of basic sciences.
- must fulfill all requirements that are stipulated by the Grenada Medical & Dental Council.
- must receive written permission from the senior associate dean of basic sciences to practice outside of the University and must arrange their own medical indemnity insurance for such practice.

- may not engage in private practice on university premises or use any University facilities for this practice
- may, with prior permission from the senior associate dean of basic sciences provide medical care for students, faculty, staff and their immediate families within the facilities of the University. They may carry out procedures in which they are specifically qualified (e.g., placing cardiac pacemakers) if the referring physician is fully registered in Grenada.
- may provide emergency assistance in any situation where their specific training may be necessary to save life or limb.
- must provide and maintain an up-to-date certified copy of their license to practice on file in the University Business Office and a photocopy in their human resources file in the senior associate dean of Basic Science’s office.
