What We Do...

The Heart Institute of the Caribbean has a faculty of cardiovascular specialists that are accomplished and internationally respected. Part of the HIC mission is to develop healthcare infrastructure in the Caribbean and build internal capacity that will be on par with the best international standards.

To this end, we offer training to Caribbean physicians in Cardiovascular Care to meet acceptable international standards. We are the only facility in the region with the right complement of infrastructure, equipment and staff to provide such training in cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment.

HIC Journal Club

If you are a physician, you should become a member of our Journal Club. HIC's Journal Club facilitates a forum of interaction among physicians enabling you to share information and benefit from each others experiences while enhancing your knowledge in areas of cardiovascular disease and cardiac risk factor management. In addition to sharing information and enhancing your knowledge, you will also be able to review your patient reports (including ECG's) with our cardiologists as well as earn CME credits for the year.

The Journal club meets on Thursdays at 6p.m. in the board room at the Heart Institute of the Caribbean.

HIC Innovators Project

As part of our education initiative the Heart Institute of The Caribbean sponsors the visit of highly respected specialists in the field of Cardiovascular Medicine from around the world to Jamaica. These week long visits normally include public lectures, where the visiting specialists share their wealth of experience as well as information on emerging trends in the field of Cardiovascular Medicine with local medical practitioners, medical students and the public in general.

These visits also facilitate consultations with local physicians on unusual or uncommon cases.

For further information on any of our education initiatives, please call us at (876) 906-2105-8 or (615) 866-5207 or email Rachel Mclaren at info@caribbeanheart.com.
