St. George's University School of Medicine St. George's University School of Medicine is the medical school of St. George's University located at St. George's. The school is the oldest private medical school in the Caribbean and founded by Charles R. Modica on July 23, 1976. In 1983, the United States invaded Grenada after a military coup ousted government leaders and led to the evacuation of St. Georgeâ€™s medical students, many of who were U.S. citizens.[1] As one of the largest medical schools in the Caribbean, the school placed more doctors into first-year US residency positions than any other medical school in the world between 2011 and 2012.[2] It was rated by The Princeton Review as one of the "Best 168 Medical Schools".[3]
