Anesthesiology

UMHS stood out to me because they truly care about you as an individual and as a student, not to mention the great facilities and brand new anatomy lab on the island. When I was accepted, [UMHS VP of Enrollment Management] Michelle Peres personally called me to tell me the wonderful news. I wanted a more personalized experience during medical school and I liked the fact that UMHS offered small class sizes along with TA sessions, peer mentors and office hours catering to all learning styles. Everyone at UMHS was very supportive and the caring environment enabled you to reach your full potential.

The dedication and perseverance of Caribbean medical students shines through and I have thoroughly developed my strong work ethic by attending UMHS. Physicians require excellent communication and collaboration skills. These characteristics were reinforced from our first anatomy class right up until our clinical- skills sessions in Maine where we worked in groups regularly. Having participated in UMHS programs such as the mentor-mentee program and becoming a teaching assistant also enabled me to become a better mentor for others.
