SGU Strategic Mentoring Sessions — Designed by highly successful SGU alumni

First and second year students benefit from partnering with senior students to better anticipate potential barriers to their progress. Your SGU mentor helps you identify what you need to do to be successful, not only at SGU but also in the Match.

Mentoring sessions are often spent:
• Assessing student progress and likelihood of success on upcoming exam(s)
• Administering advice and affirmation
• Creation of an individualized USMLE plan and suggestions on the best resources to use
• Identifying your weaknesses and priorities, and discussing solutions
• Recommendations specific to your circumstances, study methods, timeline, goals and preparation
• Time management, motivating & study/life balancing tips

The SGU Strategic Mentoring Sessions cost $199, with any additional time billable at the tutor’s hourly rate. The session is conducted online through our video conferencing and screen sharing platforms, GoToMeeting or Zoom. After the strategic mentoring session, your mentor will follow up with you via email to reiterate recommendations on how to take your preparations to the next level, whether through independent studying or regular 1:1 tutoring.

SGU ERAS Consulting

We understand that SGU students have different needs when applying to residency. SGU students cannot physically access the offices of guidance counselors. Class sizes are much larger. Moreover, general rules that apply to US medical graduates don’t necessarily apply to SGU students, for example, deciding on how many programs to apply to.

This is why we have a dedicated team of residency consultants (both residents and attendings) from SGU that can help coach you through your ERAS application. Not only can they share with you how they were successful in the match but they can offer tailored advice to your unique situation. Click here to learn more about the ERAS services we offer.

Our SGU Alum TUTORS

When Dr. Annette Gawron was at SGU, she was a DES tutor and spent most of her basic science years living off campus at the Kiki apartments in True Blue. Her favorite things to do in Grenada were to explore and go on day trips around the island. Her top recommendations: seeing the Welcome Rock (north side of the island), watching the leatherback turtles lay their eggs during the turtle season, checking out the abandoned airport, and taking a weekend trip to Carriacou. One thing she really misses are the Nachos and Frozen Mango Margaritas from Umbrellas.

"My fondest moment at SGU was sitting behind the back of Caribbean Hall with my friends,
looking over the cliffs and trying to predict our futures. Also, does subway still run out of bread
around 5pm? For all of your sakes, I hope Sugar Shack is still a thing on campus, I still have
dreams about the curry chicken Roti." ~ Dr. Samuel Azeze

"I think one thing we can agree on is that we all had a love/hate relationship with Modica Hill. If
you ever had to hike it on an exam or lab day, you most likely took your exam sweaty and
uncomfortable. That being said, it was also the way to get to one of the prettiest sunset spots on
campus. On those days when there was time to catch the sunset, that hike wasn’t so bad." ~ Dr. Ali Elsaadi
