Commencement Ceremony Class of 2020-2023

On June 9, 2023, St. Matthew’s University held a joint commencement ceremony with Saba University School of Medicine and the Medical University of the Americas at The Vets in Providence, Rhode Island. This joint celebration was the first of its kind, signifying the close collaboration between the three institutions.

The keynote speaker at the ceremony was Dr. Dante Morra, Chief of Staff at Trillium Health Partners and President of THP Solutions, who gave a speech encouraging graduates to use their education and skills to improve healthcare for their communities.

"SMUSOM teachers and attendings have taught me so much and I could not be happier with the training and guidance I have received. The clinical coordinators really do work with you to give you the best experience possible and it shows."

"St. Matthew's small class sizes provided me the opportunity to work very closely with my classmates and professors. I do not believe I would have excelled in my studies in the manner I did had it not been for the support from my professors and colleagues along the way."

"The way that St. Matthew’s teaches medicine is perfect for me. They go over all concepts in detail, making sure you understand the material. The professors are always available and I was able to see them whenever I had a question. This wasn’t true in my other school, and the small class size, mentor based experience for me is just a much better way to learn medicine."
