The Jerome Alexander award was established in 2025, to honor the memory of Jerome Alexander, a medical student from Mayaro, who tragically passed away. This award is presented to one medical student from each annual intake in recognition of outstanding achievements, and in honor of Jerome’s life. It serves as a lasting tribute to his contributions and spirit, celebrating those who exemplify the qualities he demonstrated in their academic or personal endeavors.
