Saint James School of Medicine

Accreditation & recognition

What does the recorded accreditor evidence say?

ACCM: Accredited to December 31, 2028. Separate CAAM-HP record: Voluntarily withdrawn.

St. Vincent WDOMS F0001852 lists ECFMG graduation years 2000–Current and a Canada Sponsor Note. Anguilla F0002407 separately displays a Canada Sponsor Note and limits ECFMG coverage to 2010–2025, explicitly citing campus closure despite the page’s operational header.

This status is one layer of the decision. Applicants should also inspect the school’s World Directory Sponsor Notes, current ECFMG eligibility, and every state or provincial licensing rule that applies to their intended career path.

Admissions

What should an applicant confirm?

The school identifies its current campus in St. Vincent and posts an application process there. Applicants should use the St. Vincent campus when confirming intake, tuition and credential details.

Progression and examination gates

The published four-year fee schedule lists five basic science semesters and five clinical semesters. Confirm current exam and promotion policies with the school.

Confirm prerequisite credits, MCAT policy, transfer-credit limits, language requirements, start dates, interview process and any preparatory or extended track attached to an offer. MDCaribbean does not infer an “acceptance rate” when a school does not publish an auditable denominator.

• Ask whether acceptance is direct to the MD program or conditional on a pre-matriculation course.
• Request written progression and dismissal standards before paying a non-refundable deposit.
• For Canadians, verify provincial student-aid and bank medical-line-of-credit treatment separately.

Tuition & financial aid

The published price is not the total cost.

Recorded published figure: US$140,195 in published four-year MD tuition and fees, before housing, living costs and variable charges.

Build a term-by-term model that adds mandatory fees, health and evacuation insurance, books, housing, flights, clinical relocation, exam charges and financing interest. A repeated term or delayed rotation can materially change the final debt.

Financing: distinguish eligibility from availability

The school describes Ontario and Alberta aid options for eligible residents. Current public aid eligibility for an individual intake and U.S. Title IV participation were not independently verified.

Clinical rotations

Where and how are clerkships delivered?

The tuition page describes five 16-week clinical semesters. Hospital surcharges may vary. Verify core placements and the sequence in writing.

Ask for the current core-site list, whether the school schedules every core rotation, typical wait time, expected relocations, housing responsibility, supervision model and any site surcharge.

Residency outcomes

What does the reported result actually measure?

The school reports 672 of 738 Match applicants matched in 2018–2026 (91.1%). It reports 96.1% for 2025/26 graduates applying for the first time in the 2026 Match. Neither figure uses an entering-cohort denominator.

Placement counts, first-time attainment and multi-year placement rates answer different questions. The most useful disclosure includes the entering cohort, attrition, on-time graduation, applicants to residency, matched applicants, timing, specialty and whether SOAP or post-Match placements are included.
