Students

Using "state of the art" technology, students can join the COMHS family from all continents, either as a full time preclinical student on the beautiful St. Lucia campus or as an Independent Studies student, especially from emerging countries and rural areas.  Your study partners may be several time zones away from you.

Independent Study students usually consist of healthcare professionals from anywhere, who spend at least 30% pre clinical time in St. Lucia. Independent study students take the entire pre clinical curriculum regardless of similar courses taken in previous training in order to be sure to meet registration requirements for licensure.

Medical schools all over the world are discovering the now-obvious advantage of having lectures always available to students . Students enter discussion, laboratory and clinical sessions having mastered the material usually mastered by traditional medical students. Then the group discussions take place.

In the COMHS teaching model, faculty-student discussions will take place on a regular basis after lectures have been viewed online, taking the "face to face" discussions to a high plane. One-hundred percent attendance of lectures is required for attendance in chat sessions. A significant portion of the students' grade is generated in the chat sessions.

Quizzes and assignments are completed online, using the latest tools in educational technology allowing multi level randomization as well as data collection so valuable to summative measurement of the curriculum.

Final examinations must be taken on campus, or at an agreed-on secure site(proctored environment) - usually a COMHS teaching hospital affiliate. .
