Go To Aua

Genossa asked

Didn't Windsor just completed the building of new facilities?

Yes Windsor has moved its operaions from in that barn like structure near the Bsaseterre docks to Cayon after what? Almost 10 years?

However, whereas it is nice that they now have more salubrious environs, as they ought to have had from the beginning, and whereas I believe that proper infrastructure facilitates learning, the point I was making is that AUA has a better medical program and is developing at a faster rate than most Caribbean offshore schools including Windsor.

UHSA has had fairly good facilities from its inception in 1982, but remains one of the most poorly run, as well as the worst school in the islands. Improving the infrastructure is welcomed, but much more is needed—as at ROSS, SGU, SABA, AUC.

The word of St Kitts, from those who ought to know, is that both St Theresa and Windsor are having serious problems about which they are doing a good job of keeping well hidden.

I gathered from a former colleague that Windsor has a staffing problem and have been issuing contracts in which they are asking prospective faculty to sign to ridiculous conditions such as teaching all subjects, signing that they can not teach at any school in the federation of St Kitts & Nevis within 5 years of leaving or being fired from Windsor. Someone who received such a contract has circulated it.

To answer the question posed by the instigation of this thread Windsor or AUA, I again give my opinion GO TO AUA. They have the financial backing and the expertise of how to run a medical school
