Oma Sewhdat, SHU President, said: “We are ready. We have a great facility; an innovative programme underpinned by leading edge technology; and a very highly qualified and experienced team of faculty from the US, Canada, Africa and the Caribbean.
“We welcome our first cohort of students who come from the USA and the Caribbean, including four students from Guyana.”
Commenting on the students from Guyana, Sewhdat said, “It’s a great beginning for us. We have four excellent students from Guyana. This is the start of a long relationship with the medical students and fraternity.”
One of the students from Guyana received a full scholarship and the other three were rewarded partial scholarships for the first year. The application process carefully selected qualified students.
