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.
AUC hosted its first breast awareness and community screening event of 2019 this past Saturday, March 23. Nearly 30 women came out to Philipsburg’s Vineyard Building to receive a free breast exam and speak with AUC faculty and students about breast abnormalities, including cancer risk factors.
The universities are partnering to offer a new blended program, to enable students from the U.K. and across the world to study towards their accredited medical qualification, the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree.
AUC is pleased to welcome Mrs. Aruna Ullal to our Sint Maarten Academic Support Team as Academic Support Counselor. She will begin her new position on Monday, February 18, 2019 and will be stationed in Building 2, Office 127.
Through this partnership, AUC will collaborate with USM and NIPA in the areas of support in education and research, community service, the development of public policy, and voluntary sharing of resources in post-secondary, tertiary, and higher education for the benefit and well-being of Sint Maarten.
While many aspiring physicians take their spare time during high school and college to shadow local doctors in their community, Sydne Vogel McKechnie, MD ’15 spent her earlier years making the rounds of skating rinks across the United States.
AUC is pleased to announce the appointments of Dr. Erika Regalado and Dr. Kaleem Rizvon as incoming Clinical Chairs for Pediatrics and Internal Medicine effective January 29, 2019.
