IMR begins partnership in the Barbados

IMR fostered an agreement last week with the University of West Indies (UWI) Campus in Cave Hill, Barbados to provide training in Ultrasound and Simulation for the Department of Accident and Emergency Medicine (A&E).  Hosted by Drs. Lynn-Marie Lovell and Reginald King, IMR brought a team of Emergency Medicine physicians from the US to discuss the institution of parallel training programs starting in the Spring, 2026 on an on-going basis. 

UWI—Cave Hill’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital provides the only tertiary care on the island, serving a catchment population of approximately 300,000 patients.  IMR will support UWI’s A&E residents and faculty training, as well as senior medical student clinical education.  We are excited to expand UWI’s teaching capacity, and look forward to working with our partners in Barbados into the future!
