International Students
Benefit from comprehensive veterinary medicine training and individualized support at St. Matthew’s University.
Pathway to Practice
Veterinary students begin their DVM education by studying the fundamental sciences for a period of 2+ years (seven semesters) at our Basic Science campus located on Grand Cayman. After this foundational period, students have the opportunity to transition into Clinical Medicine rotations at a veterinary school in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or another country.
In Their Own Words
At St. Matthew's, I've found the confidence to take on leadership roles through the Student Government, the Mentor Program, the Ambassador Program and being a Teaching Assistant.
Power in Diversity
Our global campus provides a supportive environment for students from diverse backgrounds to thrive as future medical leaders. One of the advantages of our diverse student body is the opportunity for students to learn from each other and the local community, gaining real-world experience that enhances their practical medical skills. Below are clubs where many of our students find community while away from home.
The Indian Student Association is committed to preserving and celebrating India’s rich culture and heritage. Through various activities, community services, and educational programs, this organization aims to promote Indian culture to both Indian and non-Indian students within our community and neighboring areas. In addition to preserving and promoting Indian culture, the Indian Student Association also assists new students in adapting to life at St. Matthew’s and their new home.
The Muslim Student Association (MSA) strives to foster unity among Muslim and non-Muslim students by educating the surrounding community about Islam, faith, and its intersection with medical practice. The MSA offers support and guidance to new students at St. Matthew’s by sharing effective learning strategies and course-specific tactics. Additionally, the MSA collaborates with local service groups to engage in community service activities and organize educational programs.
The Student Government Association of St. Matthew’s University School of Medicine democratically represents the student body. It plays a vital role in policy and decision-making processes that impact students’ interests. The SGA focuses on enhancing both the academic and non-academic aspects of student life and safeguarding students’ rights, both as students and as citizens.
