The specialist MMED Emergency Medicine degree programme was started in July 2005 with the first specialist graduating in July 2009. The Division has grown from 4 registrars in 2005 to 25 registrars to date.
The programme caters to both local graduates as well as supernumerary registrars from Barbados to Libya.
The curriculum consists of a 4 year course where registrars rotate through the various hospitals in selected disciplines in order to gain the theoretical and practical knowledge, ability and interpersonal skills for independent Emergency Medicine specialist practice.
