Dean's Message

A warm welcome to the Commonwealth University College of Medicine (CUCOM). Choosing medicine is more than selecting a profession—it is committing yourself to a life of learning, discipline, compassion, and service. I congratulate you on taking this important first step toward becoming a confident and competent physician.

At CUCOM, we believe that every student can achieve excellence when supported by strong academic foundations, modern teaching methods, and a truly student-centered learning environment. Our aim is to guide you through a structured medical curriculum that strengthens your core concepts, develops clinical reasoning, and prepares you for the demands of global medical practice.

My academic journey in medical education has been shaped by years of teaching, assessment, and curriculum responsibilities across diverse student groups and international learning environments, including long-term experience in preclinical sciences at the University of the West Indies. With recognition for teaching excellence and continued commitment to quality education, I strongly believe that students succeed best when learning is interactive, practical, and supported with mentorship.

As you begin your journey at CUCOM, remember that success in medicine is built step-by-step—through consistent effort, curiosity, professionalism, and teamwork. Our faculty and academic leadership are here to support you throughout your studies, helping you build a strong base for licensing examinations and future career opportunities across the U.S., U.K., Canada, India, and beyond.

Once again, welcome to CUCOM. I wish you a rewarding, transformative, and successful medical journey.
