UMHS graduate
Dr. Rahul Gosain
completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University-Sinai Hospital and his fellowship in Hematology/Oncology at the University of Louisville.

Tell us why you initially decided to study at UMHS.
Being in Medicine has always been my dream. After finishing my undergraduate degree at McMaster University in Canada, I wanted to continue pursuing this goal. UMHS was a new name but the people behind it had a lot of experience, and I was convinced that it would provide me with the track that I was looking for. Looking back at where I started and where I am today, UMHS has played a big role.

What is a common misconception people have about students at Caribbean medical schools?
Some people that want to pursue this venue were under the impression that Caribbean graduates can only go in certain fields – not true. After rotating and coming across a lot of students from different schools during my rotations and residency, I believe at UMHS, we have done a pretty good job to mirror of what is expected from us (clinically and academically) in the real world.

What was your experience on the island like?
You for sure tend to miss the “good old days” once you leave the island and want to go back in time! I had a chance to do some island hopping during my time there and you soon realize that St. Kitts has a lot more to offer than other islands around.
