DEAN’S OVERVIEW
Accreditation The MBBS programme completed an accreditation review by the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and other Health Professions (CAAM-HP). The visit took place November 27 th to December 6, 2022. The Annual Student Questionnaire and the Annual Progress report were prepared in collabo- ration with the other Campuses and submitted to CAAM-HP. The UWI, FMS was successful in the review by CAAM-HP and received Accred- itation for five years 2023 to 2028 at the July 2023 General meeting. UWI SCHOOL OF NURSING (UWISON) Despite the repairs being completed to the Mary J Seivwright Building which housed The UWI School of Nursing, the relocation of the members to the Building didn’t begin until April 2022 and was completed at the end of the academic year. The Projects Office, Estate Management Division, certified the air quality and the completion of the repairs, however, the Nursing Council of Jamaica cited the School as not being compliant and did not index the new students who entered the School in September 2022/2023 until the second semester. This lead to the courses done by these students in the first semester of the academic year 2022/2023 being null and void. Therefore, the students had to repeat these courses in the summer of 2023 to fulfil their requirement to progress. This matter had to be carefully managed by the Senior Management team of the Mona Campus so as to not have significant fall out and adverse outcomes.
