Student life
Students at SMU enjoy studying on the Grand Cayman Island in the Caribbean. The islands are a popular tourist destination, which has boosted the nation’s economy and contributed to its dynamic society. The islands have every modern convenience but still retain the charm and vibrancy of the Caribbean. People from more than 100 countries live and work in this British Overseas Territory, creating a lively and unique blend of cultures. Studying at SMU provides multiple opportunities for recreation against a beautiful, tropical beach background which can help students recharge during their studies. Students also enjoy exploring the island in their free time, benefitting from the restaurants, hotels and beach activities like diving and snorkelling that the Caymans has to offer.
During clinical rotations, students are exposed to different areas of medicine. The core clinical rotations include surgery, internal medicine, paediatrics, psychiatry and obstetrics, and Gynaecology.
The electives part of the program allows students to focus on their positioning for the residency process as well as which area they would like to specialise in. Throughout your clinical rotations, the staff at St. Matthew’s works closely with you to best position you for a competitive residency and boost your future career prospects.
