Life in St. Kitts

The first seven semesters of pre-clinical training are completed on our St. Kitts campus. The 28 months you spend here will likely be one of the most intense and unforgettable experiences of your life, made even more so by the extraordinary environment of St. Kitts.  

St. Kitts is located in the Leeward Islands at the northern end of the Lesser Antilles, approximately 220 miles southeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Together with her sister island, Nevis, they constitute the Federation of St. Christopher and Nevis, an English-speaking member of the British Commonwealth of Nations that continues to recognize the British monarch as the head of state. The country's internal government is led by a prime minister. The name of the capital, Basseterre, reflects the French heritage of much of St. Kitts' history. Until recently, St. Kitts and Nevis were primarily agricultural, with sugar cane as the main crop; however, new road construction and economic growth are beginning to bring the islands into the mainstream of the tourism industry, and they are becoming known as pleasant and comfortable vacation destinations.
