Trinity Medical Sciences University School of Medicine, St Vincent
Accreditation for three years, 2019-2022
November 2020 Update
The 2020 Progress Report from Trinity Medical Sciences University School of Medicine was
presented to the CAAM-HP at its Annual General Meeting held November 18-19, 2020. The
Authority considered and accepted the progress report Board but expressed disappointment at the
absence of documentary evidence to support some of the claims made. The Authority was also
concerned about the financial viability of the School, given its dependence on tuition fees solely,
and requested audited financial statements for the past three years.
