CAAM-HP status for The University of the West Indies School of Medicine (Jamaica, The Bahamas, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago): accreditation with conditions for 5 years, 2023-2028. The Bahamas clinical school (SCMR) became part of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Mona, in 2007 and provides the clinical years of the MBBS; recorded as a campus (Princess Margaret Hospital is in Nassau; the handbook does not name the city).

The Faculty of Medical Sciences at The University of the West Indies, Mona, began in 1948 as an overseas college of the University of London. Its MBBS is a five-year full-time programme with competitive entry based on CAPE/A-level or equivalent examinations, followed by a one-year hospital internship. The UWI School of Clinical Medicine & Research in the Bahamas provides clinical training after the first three MBBS years.
