With 130 trained medical graduates from Botswana and 64 students from the country currently enrolled, the Caribbean Medical School seeks to nurture the next generation of medical professionals across the continent. Students from the academy who are accepted into SGU’s four-year MD programme, as well as its 5-, 6-, or 7-year MD tracks, will benefit from various offerings provided by the medical school.
Bradley Wade, the regional director of recruitment at SGU, commented, "This partnership with Legae Academy reaffirms SGU’s longstanding commitment to empowering future healthcare professionals in Botswana. Students from Legae Academy who gain admission to SGU will enjoy benefits from the affiliation, such as partial scholarships for self-funded students, guaranteed interview scheme, and access to SGU’s Global Medic Club, an online learning platform featuring exclusive content from SGU."
