Congratulations to fourth-year student Jiddu Guart, who earned first author credit for his published study, Postoperative Quality of Life in Patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa Utilizing the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Burden of Disease Tool in the Cureus Journal of Medical Science.

Jiddu

Jiddu’s interest in surgery began as a child when his mother, a nurse, shared stories of the amazing feats surgeons accomplished at her hospital. However, it wasn’t until his surgical rotation that his desire to pursue surgery was solidified.

While at Mount Sinai in Chicago, Jiddu collaborated with plastic surgeons at the University of Illinois at Chicago to study the postoperative quality of life in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa, a dermatologic disease with high chronicity and recurrence rates.

“Patients with hidradenitis suffer, not only physically, but psychologically on a daily basis,” said Jiddu, “It’s hard for surgeons to make evidence-based recommendations when taking quality of life into account because data in this area is lacking.”

An aspiring surgeon, Jiddu hopes to continue quality of life research to bridge this gap and ease the daily burden that patients with hidradenitis experience.

Match 2021

Congratulations to Jiddu Guart, who matched into Brown University Rhode Island Hospital's general surgery program. Learn more about the National Resident Matching Program® (The MATCH ℠) process by visiting RUSM's Match Day webpage.

Ross University School of Medicine is accredited by the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and other Health Professions (CAAM-HP, www.caam-hp.org).

 

CAAM-HP is the legally constituted body established in 2003 under the aegis of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), empowered to determine and prescribe standards and to accredit programs of medical, dental, veterinary and other health professions education on behalf of the contracting parties in CARICOM.

Accreditation by CAAM-HP is a rigorous, peer review process which examines all aspects of a medical program. The CAAM-HP board, an independent and autonomous body of professionals, only certifies medical schools which are operating at the highest levels of industry standards.

Through this accreditation, the CAAM-HP provides assurance to medical students, graduates, the medical profession, healthcare institutions, and the public that programs leading to qualifications in medicine meet appropriate national and international standards for educational quality, and that the graduates have a sufficiently complete and valid educational experience.
