Editorial-November 02

 

It has been over half a century since the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Mona, then called the University College of the West Indies, opened its doors to the first class of 33 medical students. Since then, this small medical college, originally a college of the University of London, has evolved into a full-fledged University comprising eight faculties, three campuses and an average student body of approximately 14,000.
The Faculty of Medical Sciences is proud of its seminal role in the establishment of the University of the West Indies and strives continuously to uphold the standards of excellence for which the Faculty and indeed the entire University are known internationally. As the principal institution for medical education in the English-speaking Caribbean, the Faculty trains most of the doctors in the region and hence plays a vital role in the provision of health care to its people...
