Mr. Richard Jones
Chairman Board of Governors’ Message
It gives me enormous pleasure and great pride to witness the growth of the Caribbean School of Medical Sciences Jamaica over the past year. The fruits of our hard work, sacrifice, teamwork and dedication to professionalism can be seen in the progress achieved.
We must continue to hold fast to our patient-centred approach to clinical care and multiply the innovations utilized in educating the next generation of medical professionals. We are encouraged at the strides made in expanding
access to financing which will allow more students to afford medical training from the school.
Our modest student body led by the Guild of Students must be commended for their initiatives and creative efforts, which have impacted the institution positively over the period. I congratulate those students who have studied hard and done well and encourage all to do their best and persevere as success is in your future.
I have every confidence that exciting times lie ahead as we seek to establish CSMSJ as the premier medical sciences training institution in the Caribbean Region.
