Community Action Day: Deepening Community Bonds and Fostering Future Health Care Leaders
<p>American University of the Caribbean (AUC)’s long-standing Community Action Day is so much more than just a fun event; it is a testament to our deep commitment to engaging holistically with the development of our medical students.
Read about the January 2018 recipients of AUC’s Canadian Scholarship, awarded to qualified incoming students who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada.
New students capped their first day of medical school by gathering in the school’s auditorium to participate in the traditional White Coat Ceremony.
Four months after Hurricane Irma caused AUC to evacuate students and faculty from Sint Maarten, AUC has resumed classes on its Sint Maarten campus.
When Jawed Safi began shadowing physicians at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, TN, he knew he would gain valuable experience for his medical school applications. Little did he know that he would also forge a remarkable connection with AUC graduate Ravi Madasu, MD ‘99 and earn a competitive scholarship to AUC with Dr. Madasu’s recommendation.
The initiative, which connects hundreds of students, colleagues, and extended family members to volunteer opportunities throughout Sint Maarten, regularly results in more than 600 hours of community service a semester.
Their new white coats may be short but for 204 first semester students, the journey to receive them has been anything but.
