CABINET NOTES: Two principals of the Metropolitan University College of Medicine informed the Cabinet that the school has finally received its accreditation, allowing for many new students from the United States and elsewhere to become accredited students at the University.
It is currently located at Newgate Street and can accommodate up to 150 students in that space. Since growth is anticipated in the student enrollment, Metropolitan University is seeking an even bigger space to meet its growth ambitions.
It markets itself as the most affordable medical school in CARICOM, with a 5-year programme and a 4-year programme for those who have already earned a Bachelor of Science Degree.
Although enrollment in offshore medical schools in the Caribbean has declined in the coming year, Metropolitan University believes that it can cause enrollment to increase by its course offerings and the very high qualifications of its faculty.
