There was a high success rate among 2025 graduating medical students at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona campus.
Some 134 medical students sat the examinations at Mona, of which 125 (93.3 per cent) were successful and only nine or 6.7 per cent unsuccessful and will be required to do a resit of the examinations.
The majority, 96 (71.6 per cent) of the medical students who sat the examinations at Mona are from
Jamaica, the remainder were from the Caribbean, with a few additional international students.
The results were announced last Thursday (June 19) at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Mona pledge ceremony for the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (BM. BS) class of 2025.
Students sat the MB.BS Final Examinations held in May/June 2025.
These were also regional examinations held at the Cave Hill, Mona, and St. Augustine campuses, as well as the Clinical School of Medicine & Research in The Bahamas.
On June 19, there was wild applause for Caymanian student Brianna Bodden, who took all three prizes awarded.
The prizes were the Professor Luois Grant Prize in Microbiology (for best performance in microbiology);
Professor S.E.H. Brooks Memorial Prize (for best performance in pathology); and the Pathology/Microbiology Medal (for best overall academic performance in pathology and microbiology
clerkship at the Mona campus).
The newly minted doctors were given the opportunity to recite the Hippocratic Oath—the pledge taken by physicians, outlining ethical principles for medical practice.
