Premedical Programme

The Pre-Medical Program is tailored for students who have finished their Higher Secondary Education and aspire to pursue a medical career. This program is also known as the "Basic Foundation for Medical Sciences" and is commonly abbreviated as "Pre-Med Program" or "Pre-Med" for short. It is a one-year course and serves as the initial year of the 5-Year Program for MD in Barbados.

The Pre-Medical Program at our institution bridges the crucial knowledge gap between being a school student and entering undergraduate medical studies. This comprehensive program serves as a vital stepping stone, equipping students with the necessary foundation for a seamless transition into the field of medicine.

Through our Pre-Med Program, students are immersed in a wide range of essential disciplines that form the bedrock of medical education. This includes in-depth coverage of Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Neuroscience, English, Calculus, and other pertinent subjects. Our curriculum is meticulously designed to ensure students gain a thorough understanding of these disciplines, laying the groundwork for their future medical studies.

In addition to academic coursework, our Pre-Med Program places a strong emphasis on hands-on practical experiences. Students actively engage in laboratory sessions, providing them with valuable exposure to scientific experimentation and research methodologies. These practical experiences enhance their comprehension of scientific concepts and foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Furthermore, our program goes beyond the mere transmission of knowledge, fostering a holistic approach to medical education. We recognize the importance of developing well-rounded individuals, and as such, our curriculum integrates elements of communication skills, teamwork, and ethical considerations. Students are encouraged to cultivate effective communication strategies, collaborate in group projects, and navigate ethical dilemmas, preparing them for the multifaceted challenges they may encounter in their medical careers.

Our experienced faculty, comprising accomplished educators and medical professionals, provide expert guidance and mentorship throughout the Pre-Med Program. They are dedicated to nurturing students' intellectual growth, fostering a supportive learning environment, and helping each student reach their fullest potential.

By successfully completing our Pre-Medical Program, students are equipped with a strong academic foundation, laboratory experience, and the essential skills needed to excel as undergraduate medical students. This comprehensive preparation sets them on the path to becoming competent and compassionate healthcare professionals who are poised to make a significant impact in the medical field.
