In addition to the donation of new equipment in the Ashcroft Teaching Lab, several departments were able to improve their readiness through the replacement of desktop computers, the acquisition of peripheral equipment such as webcams, and the improvement of digital infrastructure through the acquisition of internet switches. Support from the American Foundation for The UWI (AFUWI) The Faculty of Medical Sciences received further donations from the American Foundation for The UWI (AFUWI). Received were Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) consisting of approximately 18,047 masks (surgical, N95 & KN95), gowns, and face shields. The Dean’s Office worked in collaboration with the departments/programmes to ensure
proper distribution of the PPE to students in the various programmes who had clinical contact with patients. Effort was made to ensure that each student presenting to the clinical area was provided with a set of the items received. The Faculty had been vigilant in monitoring and implementing the various guidelines but sustaining PPE was a challenge, and students were encouraged to provide their own supply.

As part of the training, students rotate throughout the island at various clinics and hospitals (clinical sites). The FMS was responsible for transporting students to these clinical sites.
