American University of Barbados School of Medicine

July 2019 Update The 2019 Progress Report from American University of Barbados School of Medicine was presented to the CAAM-HP at its meeting held July 25-27, 2019. The Authority considered and accepted the progress report but expressed concern that there was no mention of student representation on committees of the institution and further, there seemed to be a lack of control over the clinical programme. The school was cautioned about misrepresentations on its website. The Authority looks forward to receiving the documentation for the next full site visit in 2020.
