The American University of Antigua College of Arts and Sciences (AUACAS) has launched a free bootcamp designed to guide aspiring doctors along a six-year pathway to a medical career — and a second programme is already in the works.
According to Antigua Observer, the dean of AUACAS, Dr. Jorge Moreno, confirmed that planning for a second bootcamp scheduled for July is already underway, even as the first programme officially got underway on Tuesday.
Dr. Moreno noted that more than 50 students — including a number of Antiguans — had signed on to participate in the inaugural initiative, reflecting strong local interest in the medical profession.
The bootcamp is being offered free of charge, lowering barriers for young people who aspire to enter medicine but may face financial constraints in accessing preparatory programmes.
