SJSM Campuses

St. James's School of Medicine Bonaire Campus offers a focused curriculum primarily centered on medical education for aspiring physicians. The campus is dedicated to providing high-quality training in a small, supportive environment, ideal for students seeking personalized attention. The primary program offered is the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree, which is designed to prepare students for medical licensure and practice in the United States, Canada, and beyond.

• Basic Sciences Program: This forms the foundation of the MD degree, covering essential medical sciences such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, and microbiology. Students engage in lectures, labs, and small group discussions to build a strong theoretical and practical base.
• Clinical Sciences Program: Following the Basic Sciences, students transition to clinical rotations, often conducted at affiliated hospitals in the United States. This phase includes hands-on training in internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, and family medicine.
• Pre-Medical Program: For students who need to strengthen their academic foundation before entering the MD program, the campus offers a pre-medical course that covers prerequisite sciences and prepares them for the rigors of medical school.

The curriculum adheres to international standards, ensuring graduates are well-equipped to pass licensing exams like the USMLE. The Bonaire Campus emphasizes a student-centered approach, fostering critical thinking and clinical skills in a tropical, distraction-free setting. With small class sizes, students benefit from close interaction with faculty, many of whom are experienced medical professionals. This campus serves as the main hub for foundational medical education within the St. James's network, providing a unique blend of rigorous academics and a serene learning environment.
