At these events, we provide prospective medical students with an idea of what to expect when they attend UMHS, life on St. Kitts & explain how we will support them through every step of their medical school journey. This San Juan event was a huge success bringing in many students & their families. UMHS is returning to San Juan September 30, 2023!

Going to medical school impacts more than just the individual who embarks on that journey. It is often a joint effort that affects their parents, their partners, & in some cases their children as well. In hopes of shedding light on a parent’s perspective of their student going to medical school, we interviewed a new UMHS student, Sarah Sandoval’s, father during student orientation to hear his thoughts on the campus & his daughter’s choice to attend UMHS. “She took a leap of faith in coming here and pursuing her goal, that speaks volumes… If this place comes knocking at your door, I say we’re not missing it.” Check out his interview & comment below if you are a #ProudParentAtUMHS! source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffHCPyxDQ0o
