  • The final two years focus on clinical sciences, with training at SGU’s clinical centers and affiliated hospitals in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.
    • Clinical training emphasizes responsibility, maturity, and compassion in the development of professional excellence. Students learn how to conduct themselves as physicians, take responsibility, work harmoniously with professional colleagues, and exhibit maturity.
