WELCOME FROM THE GOVERNOR OF SABA
Lt. Governor Antoine J.M. Solagnier

Over the years, SABA University School of Medicine has undergone steady sustainable growth providing her strength like no other institution of higher learning in the region. We have been able to profit from a partnership stemming from mutual respect and aimed primarily at a higher level of healthcare for our community. The government of Saba has been able to observe the contribution to the island's economy proceeding from activities surrounding the Medical School.

SABA University School of Medicine's contributions are not confined to education and medical services. The existence of the medical school on Saba brings with it a human dimension, which can only be considered unique. Our island offers to the students and faculty the necessary environment for optimal pursuit of academic excellence. Our beautiful natural surroundings, our friendly community and the lowest rate of crime in the region are conducive to just that atmosphere required to provide students as well as researchers the opportunity to dedicate themselves toward their ideals and goals.

The community welcomes also the presence of those associated with the University, for we find in them characteristics we much value, such as dedication and community spirit. Allow me to welcome you to Saba on behalf of the government and community.

Sincerely,
Antoine Solagnier, Lt.Governor

WELCOME FROM SABA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
David L. Fredrick, President

The School began its operations with a vision that has now become a successful reality. Our primary educational outcome is to provide our graduates, regardless of specialty orientation, with a foundation in general medical concepts and problem solving that are based on an understanding of medical concerns as they relate to patients, families, health care systems and the community population in which they will practice. This foundation of training fosters the provisions of care that are considerate, compassionate, humanistic and of high quality. As a key part of our medical education curriculum, the faculty constantly reviews and assesses the program around the teaching learning concepts:

• Cultivating professional behaviors to promote life long learning
• Integrating basic science knowledge and educational reasoning through clinical experience

Such an extensive educational enterprise cannot be provided and obtained by classes alone. You are the important factor in sharing and comparing information amongst your faculty, your peers and your patients. At SABA, where students are our greatest assets, we will open the door of medical knowledge and take you through in order to prepare you for your future roles as health care providers.
