Dear reader, please allow me the honor to welcome you to our website. The Grenada Medical and Dental Council (GMDC) was established in 2010 by the Health Practitioner’s Act. Initially, the Council’s mandate was primarily to register and license medical and dental practitioners throughout the State of Grenada.
In 2019, via the Health Practitioner’s Amendment Act, the GMDC was given the authority to undertake a vital and exciting function: to accredit medical education programmes in Grenada.
GMDC’s stamp of accreditation affirms that graduates of a medical education programme that it accredits possess the skills, competencies, and knowledge needed to become competent medical practitioners in Grenada, the United States, or wherever they choose to practice medicine.
In September 2019, the NCFMEA determined that the standards being used by Grenada through the GMDC for medical education programme accreditation were comparable to those in the United States.
In July 2022, the WFME recognized GMDC’s accreditation programme for a full ten years until June 30, 2032.
Thank you and best wishes.
Dr. George Mitchell
Executive Director, GMDC
