As the new Vice President of Academic Affairs and Executive Dean, it is my honor to serve with the distinguished administration of the American University of Antigua, one of the finest medical institutions in the Caribbean.
With our new campus now open, students and faculty have access to the most technologically modern medical education facilities. Campus-wide wireless internet access, Blackboard Learn and Connect, and our new lecture capture service, Echo360, are only a few of the amenities AUA provides to ensure that our students receive the most comprehensive educational experience possible.
Even though the new campus is much larger than our old one, we have not forgotten what matters most: our students. We have built every room at the new campus with small class sizes in mind, which allows for greater interaction between our students and our faculty. Our hospital-integrated curriculum is modeled after those of U.S. medical schools and allows our students to interact with patients from the first semester onward. Our faculty prepares every student to succeed on the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Shelf Exams and the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE).
Our illustrious faculty’s research has helped advance medical sciences throughout the world. Dr. Segun Dipeolu, the Chair of the Microbiology Department, is a Fulbright Scholar whose research on Dengue Fever has been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). Dr. Steven Glasser, the Chair of the Neuroscience Department, has won numerous teaching awards and helped AUA become the first international medical school to administer a web-based NBME exam.
Ultimately, AUA provides each of our students with the tools necessary to succeed in the evolving field of health care, and our success hinges on that of our students.
I look forward to seeing you on campus.
