St. George’s University (SGU), School of Medicine in the West Indies, Grenada, recently held two impactful Medical Workshops in June 2025, aimed at supporting future healthcare professionals across Africa. These workshops, which took place in Nairobi and Johannesburg, provided aspiring doctors with a valuable opportunity to gain practical medical skills, receive mentorship from experienced professionals, and explore the path to becoming a physician at SGU.

The workshop in Nairobi was held on Saturday, 28 June at the JW Marriott Hotel, while Johannesburg hosted participants on Tuesday, 24 June at the Protea Hotel Fire & Ice Melrose Arch. High school and pre-med students, parents, and educators attended both sessions, which featured hands-on training and academic exploration.

Participants had the chance to learn key clinical skills such as suturing and blood pressure assessments, along with a lecture on medical ethics. Interactive activities like a quiz were included to reinforce core concepts in an engaging format. In Johannesburg, SGU’s Provost, Professor Glen Jacobs, and Bradley Wade, Regional Director for Africa, provided insights into the SGU MD program and global healthcare opportunities. In Nairobi, the workshop was led by SGU Alumnus Dr. Thuto Victor, with active participation from students and parents.

Each attendee received a branded suture kit and blood pressure kit to continue practicing their skills outside the workshop. Following the hands-on training, SGU hosted an information session covering the MD program tracks, admission requirements, and residency opportunities.

Bradley Wade expressed pride in empowering the next generation of doctors through these workshops, stating that they not only provide a practical introduction to medicine but also open doors to a global medical education. SGU has been the largest provider of new doctors to the US healthcare system for the past eleven years, with over 23,000 graduates practicing in more than 50 countries. International students benefit from a high residency placement rate of 88% over the past five years.

These workshops serve as a stepping stone for future physicians in Africa, offering hands-on clinical training, mentorship from SGU faculty and alumni, and valuable insights into the admissions process.
