Saint James School of Medicine (SJSM) is a private, for-profit medical school headquartered in Park Ridge, Illinois with basic science campuses in British Overseas Territory of Anguilla and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.[1] Saint James confers upon its graduates the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree.[2]
History
Saint James School of Medicine was established in Bonaire in 1999 and began instruction in 2000.[2] In 2011, Saint James opened a second campus in Anguilla.[3] In 2014, the School opened a third Caribbean medical school campus in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.[2]
Curriculum
The MD program at Saint James is a 10 semester course of study that consists of three semesters per calendar year. Semesters 1-4 are basic sciences semesters that are completed at one of the school's three Caribbean campuses (Anguilla, Bonaire, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines). Semester 5 (Advanced Introduction to Clinical Medicine) is completed at Jackson Park Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. Semesters 6-10 consist of 96 weeks of clinical study that are completed at affiliated hospitals and clinical facilities in the United States.[4]
Accreditation
Saint James School of Medicine is listed in the FAIMER International Medical Education Directory (IMED)[2] and in the AVICENNA Directory for medicine.[5]
In June 2011, the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and other Health Professions (CAAM-HP) granted initial accreditation as a developing school to the university's Anguilla campus.[5]
In 2015, St. James lost their accreditation on the island of Bonaire by authority of the Dutch government, due to academic standards not being met.
