Cardiovascular Research Program Begins in June through the VIDOH and University of Miami
Lt. Gov. Tregenza Roach, with administrators from the V.I. Health Department and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, announced Monday a new cardiovascular research program for Virgin Islands students starting in June.
“Today, we are proud to announce the partnership with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, which alongside the administration will rebuild and empower the territory’s healthcare workforce. This is a critical arena — cardiovascular research. We know heart disease, cardiovascular incidents, are the primary cause of death in the territory,” Roach said.
The University of Miami is a top school for research programs, Roach said. He pointed out that by providing education on the island via the new medical school of the Virgin Islands, students will be more likely to remain in the territory to live and work.
