Currently, 169 Indian students are pursuing their medical education at SGU, further strengthening the university’s diverse and dynamic student community.
St. George’s University graduates will begin residency programs in several highly competitive specialties, ranging from neurology and surgery to emergency medicine and pediatrics. Many will be returning to their home states or cities to begin their careers in medicine.
“As someone born and raised in Chennai and the first doctor in my family, matching into my top-choice Internal Medicine residency in the U.S. felt like a dream realised. It was a powerful mix of joy, pride and deep gratitude for the years of hard work, for the sacrifices made and for the unwavering support of my family and mentors,” said Leonard Leo Visvaas, an Indian SGU graduate from the Class of 2025. He further added, “SGU played a pivotal role in shaping this journey, from a strong academic foundation in Grenada to hands-on clinical rotations in New York. More than just helping me become a doctor, SGU helped me grow into the kind of physician I always aspired to be. For me, this journey proves that with discipline, support and belief in yourself, even the most uncertain paths can lead to incredible destinations.”
“Each one of these matches marks the next step in a dream coming true, and we celebrate these students’ achievements, and their determination to make a real difference in the world as the next generation of new doctors,” said Dr. Loukas.
This new group of doctors will play a crucial role in addressing global physician shortages. SGU graduates have secured residencies in highly competitive specialties such as neurology, vascular surgery, diagnostic radiology, and more.
“We can’t wait to see all the great things that this newest class of SGU graduates will accomplish,” Dr. Loukas said.
