Q: What inspired you to pursue leadership of the AUC AMWA chapter?

Congratulations to our American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (AUC) students and graduates who earned residency placements! 

For Deyanna “Dee” Boston, MD, the path to becoming a physician was more one of “Ready… set…one day.” After graduating from college and getting her graduate degree, she spent more than a decade project managing for pharmaceutical companies, and as a fashion stylist, building a team of consultants

Growing up in East Meadow, NY, Athanasios “Tommy” Tzaras, MD, ’18 spent his childhood and much of his young adulthood at his father’s side laboring on construction sites throughout New York City and Long Island.

February is Black History Month, a time to honor achievements and celebrate excellence throughout the Black community.

Hosted in the Mitchell and Kenyon Cinema on the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) campus, the event commemorated new students’ official entrance into medical school and recognized continuing students’ outstanding academic achievements.

During the October 2021 White Coat Ceremony for American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (AUC)’s UK Track program, third-year student Dhir Gala shared this message of encouragement to his medical school peers: “You are the patient’s light at one of the darkest times. At that moment, you are the person when they reveal their innermost fears and worries, and it is your compassion, intelligence, and discipline that guides their care and their hope. My hope is you will hone those skills as you progress through medical school so that you will always bring compassionate care to your practice.”

American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (AUC) has been granted continued accreditation by the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM) for the maximum accreditation period of six years through 2027.

A Clinical Fellow in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School/Boston Children’s Hospital, Dr. Sharif has spent the last several months intimately working on the immigration crisis, helping to evaluate and support the children of families seeking asylum in the United States.
