St. George's University School of Medicine (SGU) has concluded a series of recruitment events in Saudi Arabia. The events aimed to inspire and educate students about their aspirations in pursuing a medical degree. SGU representatives travelled to the main cities of Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam as well as the international schools within the region to speak with students, parents, and educators.
This recruitment tour was a step forward in the drive of SGU to spread its wings across the Kingdom. The events helped the attendees gain valuable insights into SGU's diverse medical programs, its 4-Year Doctor of Medicine (MD) track, and its five-, six-, and seven-year MD pathways. Information sessions within Dammam's ASD campus discussed study options available for prospective students at Grenada and the UK. SGU also exhibited at the MENA-IHE fairs in Jeddah and Riyadh, creating more opportunities to promote globally recognized curriculum and the very extensive global network of SGU. The tour organized in collaboration with leading educational agencies became an important platform for engaging the Saudi student community and promoting the world-class medical education from SGU.
The Saudi Arabia roadshow was met with enthusiasm from students and parents alike, as SGU highlighted its commitment to nurturing the next generation of global medical professionals. Attendees were given the opportunity to explore SGU’s admissions process, scholarship opportunities, and the unique educational tracks that SGU offers through Grenada, West Indies and Newcastle in the UK with multiple entry points.
"We were thrilled to bring our program and tracks directly to students and parents in Saudi Arabia," said David Anthonisz, Executive Director, International Student Recruitment at St. George’s University. "Our goal is to provide students with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in medicine, and the response from Saudi Arabia has been overwhelming".
SGU’s presence in Saudi Arabia is part of the university’s larger initiative to expand its outreach in the MENA region, offering students access to an international medical education without the need for national medical entrance exams. With a growing network of affiliated hospitals and clinical training centers, SGU is well-positioned to support the career ambitions of Saudi students.
