VisionTo improve the health care of the people of the Territory and wider Caribbean community and to address pressing national and international health issues in support of the global community. MissionTo educate students from the diverse communities of the USVI, the wider Caribbean and the Continental US as physicians dedicated to the health and well-being of their communities. These physicians will be prepared through innovative pedagogy that results in physicians who are life-long learners, solution finders, team players and leaders of the 21st Century.
UVI School of Medicine: Why?
• To Improve the healthcare of the people of the USVI• Hospitals will become teaching hospitals• Facilitate recruitment of physicians• Medical school brings new expertise in healthcare policy &
management• Simulation center: emphasize on patient safety and quality
• Train next generation of physicians for the USVI• USA: growing shortage of physicians
• Research: public health & Infectious disease• Economic impact• Approximately $60m per year• Bio-technology and medical device industries
• University of the Virgin Islands: Grow biomedical sciences• Train allied health professionals
USA: Supply vs. Demand
Why Liaison Committee on Medical
EducationAccredited Medical School?
• Quality of the education• Ability to enter residency program• Ability to practice in USA
Medical students graduating from LCME Accredited vs. Non-accredited schools

Development of the UVI School of Medicine Simulation Center
in St Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands: Market Demand Analysis Report
Prepared for University of the Virgin Islands
July 31, 2015

The Market: Key Findings
• The combined local and regional market for the UVI School of Medicine Simulation Center (“UVISOM Simulation Center”) is estimated to be approximately 9,700 users per year at full operation.
• There are strong market drivers locally and in the wider Caribbean for healthcare professionals to access to a UVISOM Simulation Center.
• The national mandates requiring healthcare professionals to obtain educational units to maintain licensing and certification for clinical practice will drive volume.
• Pairing training with a vacation in the Caribbean can be an attractive proposition for healthcare professionals on the US mainland.
• Establishing regular training programs with the National Guard and Emergency Medical Service units will provide support for the community plus an independent source of sustainable revenue.

Summary of Economic Impact
• The UVISOM Simulation Center Economic Impact Study conducted in May 2015 estimated the annual impact to be approximately $30M when fully operational
• This market analysis estimates that as a “destination training center” some 6,500 off island learners could generate an annual demand:• Assumption 1- 3 nights: 20,000 extra hotel rooms• Assumption 2 – 5 nights: 50,000 extra hotel rooms (if 50% bring their
families)
