New Year, Newcastle!


This past year has been a whirlwind of adventure, excitement, hard work and stress! After one year in the Grenada, forty science units in 9 months and a MCAT quickie, my lawyer/doctor-to-be husband, James, is now in his first year of medical school!

St. George's University provides a unique educational experience. One available option, upon acceptance to St. George's University, is the opportunity to take part in the Keith B. Taylor Global Scholars Program ("KBT"). This program allows students to complete their first year of medical school at Northumbria University in Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom. After a year in Newcastle, the KBT students then complete their second year of medical school in Grenada at St. George's University and last two clinical years at teaching hospitals in the United States. Since we already spent one year in Grenada, during James' post-baccalaureate program, we decided to switch it up and experience a year in England between our Grenadian adventures!

Considering my last blog was titled, O.M.Grenada, it didn't seem appropriate to keep it going during our UK stay. This blog is to keep everyone up to date on our latest and greatest quips, tips and tales! I hope you enjoy, OK in the UK! xo
