In a groundbreaking collaboration, the University of the West Indies (UWI) Cave Hill campus and the University of Ghana have introduced a joint medical degree programme aimed at training doctors accredited to practise in both Barbados and Ghana. The initiative was announced by Professor Clive Landis, Principal of UWI Cave Hill, during a forum titled ‘Reclaiming Our Atlantic Destiny: Connect. Rebuild. Renew,’ attended by His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene of Ghana. The programme is structured to allow students to complete three years of preclinical studies at UWI Cave Hill, followed by three years of clinical training in Ghana. Graduates will receive a Bachelor of Science in Preclinical Sciences from UWI and an MBChB from the University of Ghana. The degree is fully accredited by the medical and dental councils of both countries, enabling graduates to practise medicine in either nation. Professor Landis highlighted the programme’s strategic alignment, noting that Barbados has surplus preclinical capacity while Ghana excels in clinical training. Two Ghanaian students, part of the inaugural cohort, were recognized during the event. The Asantehene’s visit to the campus is expected to enhance the programme’s visibility in Ghana. Additionally, a portrait honoring the Asantehene was unveiled at the UWI Cave Hill administration building, known informally as ‘The Golden Stool.’ The forum was part of the Asantehene’s historic visit to Barbados for the GUBA Awards and Investment Conference.
