jeremiah_ellis (Alumni) SGU's affiliated hospital network is one of the most extensive among Caribbean schools. They have long-standing relationships with hospitals in New York, New England, and several other regions.
lingh (Alumni) The quality of your training at an affiliated hospital depends heavily on the attending physicians at that specific site. A well-known hospital doesn't automatically mean great teaching.
jameelc (Student) lingh covered the main points well. ACGME accreditation of your rotation sites is what residency programs care about. All SGU's primary affiliates should meet that standard but it's worth confirming for any site you're placed at.
christopherm (Alumni) Echoing what lingh said above. The relationship SGU has built with affiliated hospitals over decades means the school's name is recognized at those sites in a way it isn't at hospitals with no prior relationship.
mjackson (Student) Evaluations from affiliated hospital attendings carry weight for your residency application partly because those programs have seen SGU students before and know what to expect.
donna.rodriguez (Student) Start thinking about which hospitals you want to request well before you finish basic sciences. The popular sites have limited spots and requests are taken on a first come basis.
