Community Action Day: Deepening Community Bonds and Fostering Future Health Care Leaders
American University of the Caribbean (AUC)’s long-standing Community Action Day is a celebration of service, learning, and community collaboration.
More than 16,000 psychiatrists and mental health professionals from around the world attended the 2018 American Psychiatric Association Annual Meeting in New York last month. And in the sea of 500 scientific sessions and workshops, fourth year students Nilesh Dialani and Varun Jain proudly presented their case presentation, Coprophagia – A Rare Psychiatric Symptoms and Possible Treatment Options.
Congratulations to the following students who were elected to sit on the Student Government Association as either E-board members or class representatives.
A five-day event on AUC's campus celebrates the diversity and cultures represented in our student body.
Fifth semester student, Chelsea Azevedo recently presented research at the 2018 International Health Congress at Oxford University. The project, “Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes in the Population of Sint Maarten” is headed by Clinical Medicine Professor Dr. Naira Chobanyan and includes a group of students led by third year student Mohamed Rafaat.
Are you interested in presenting original clinical research at a conference or meeting? AUC can help offset the costs of registration and travel.
Two years ago, AUC entered into a partnership with Danbury Hospital and the Western Connecticut Health Network (WCHN) to offer Global Health electives to clinical students. Through that collaboration, more than 30 students have gone to five different countries to experience medical care in a new environment. The opportunity has been described as eye opening and life changing, and one that influences students well into their careers as physicians.
