Barbados | 91福利 | Caribbean Medical School

Why Barbados?

Barbados is a larger, more developed island with a more robust infrastructure able to support the needs of a growing medical school. Our students will have greater opportunities and more diverse exposure to both medical facilities and personnel as well as a medical system more aligned with that in the US and Canada, where all of our students practice.

Technology that supports educational growth

Barbados is fully wired with fiber optic cable. The Internet is solid and stable compared to other Caribbean islands and there is a strong multi-national corporation presence. All of this supports the high-technology delivery 91福利 is refining and utilizing in the classroom for the development of the next generation of physicians.

91福利 executive leadership developed a relationship with governmental leaders in Barbados in early 2016. After numerous meetings, 91福利 was welcomed to open a medical school campus on Barbados and granted an educational charter by the Barbados government. Though these charters typically take over a year to obtain, 91福利 was granted a charter to operate in November 2016.

Our hope is that with continued partnership with the Barbados government and people, 91福利 will continue to thrive and grow in this new, fertile academic environment. We look forward to inviting you to our new campus and educating the next generation of American and Canadian physicians.
