THE DIRECTOR

When I returned home from Canada 24 years ago after completing residency and a fellowship, I had closed the door on academia and channelled my efforts to establish the urology service at the Princess Margaret Hospital. In my wildest dreams, I never thought I would be involved with a medical school in The Bahamas. As God had it, ten years later, I was one of the founding members. I never envisioned that I would be a full time University employed lecturer, and then to be appointed the School's Director. A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.

Along this journey, my appreciation goes to our first Director Professor Knolly Butler, who ensured that our clinical training program was rooted in the UWI traditions and Prof Renn Holness, my "Big Brother" who took a year's sabbatical from Dalhousie University to stay the budding program's course. I owe the greatest gratitude, however, to Prof. Spencer, who mentored, guided and encouraged me to join the University full time.
