24/7 CRISIS RESOURCES

https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/   

Our staff members are experienced in serving the specific needs of medical students from diverse backgrounds. We work together in a multidisciplinary approach and function as an independent clinical entity, distinct from the RUSM academic program. Counseling staff members have no involvement in the academic assessment or promotion of students, and our records are not part of any academic file. Information is not shared with faculty or administrators unless the student/client authorizes a specific written release of information.

Before a child can be considered for admission, the school must be provided with the following (this may vary depending on the school’s requirements):

• Valid student visa (obtained from the Barbados Immigration Department).

• A completed application form.

• An application fee. This fee ensures the processing of the application.

• All school records for the preceding three years, where the child has been in school for three years, as well as the results of any formal assessments, such as standardised tests and the findings of any psycho-educational assessments that may have been undertaken by the prospective students. (The school operates on the basis of transparency and it is the responsibility of the parents/guardians to bring to the school’s attention at this stage all pertinent information relating to the child’s prior educational history).

• A doctor’s report and student health record.

• A birth certificate or passport verifying the child’s date of birth and nationality.
