I hope you won't mind asking a couple of more questions.
How often do you go for clinics and where are the clinics located?
From which trimester do you start case-based study and how often the classes are held for case-study?
Thanks in advance.

Clinics are done once a week - the class is broken down into groups and sent to different clinic sites each week. On top of that - the entire school holds clinic sessions on certain weekends through out the year where they go to towns in St. Lucia and provide screenings for Diabetes and Hypertension as well as other health problems.
The weekday clinics are held in two locations - Laborie and Vieux Fort. They are done with the help of Dr.'s on the island and students work with the staff at each clinics to practice basic patient care.
Classes for case study are held approximately 3 times a week - although it does vary from semester to semester based on the number of students that are in each class. Each semester has its own case study sessions and you start case study from Semester 1.
