UG Medical School on course for reaccreditation -Cummings

The University of Guyana Medical School (UGMS) is “on stream” to being reaccredited, according to Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences Dr. Emmanuel Cummings.

Cummings told Stabroek News that a recently submitted self-study as well as plans to construct a clinical instruction facility are expected to significantly impact the decision to reaccredit the Medical School.

He explained that Cabinet has appointed a task force to oversee the construction of the building, which is being funded in part by a US$1M donation from Yesu Persaud, of Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL).
