Next up in our Meet the Class of 2031 series is Romae Stanley, born and raised in Montego Bay, Jamaica ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ
Romaeโ€™s dream of becoming a doctor started with a love for science and a desire to help others, but that purpose grew even stronger as she became more aware of the lives lost to road accidents, gunshot wounds and other emergencies when timely care is not available. She hopes to one day be on the frontline, delivering lifesaving care when every second counts. ๐Ÿš‘

Someone who thrives under pressure and loves the fast-paced nature of emergency care, Romae currently sees herself pursuing Trauma Surgery or Emergency Medicine. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฉบ
And no journey is complete without the people behind it โ€” a huge big up to her mom, Jacqueline Stanley, her family and relatives who have supported her lifelong dream, and a special shoutout to Gabriela King for always being by her side. ๐Ÿ’š

From Montego Bay to medicine, welcome to the School of Medicine, Romae! Weโ€™re excited to see where the journey takes you. โœจ

Next up in our Meet the Class of 2031 series is Sumehra Jardine, proudly representing Bartica, Region 7! โœจ

Sumehraโ€™s decision to pursue medicine was deeply inspired by her mother and her commitment to helping others. Watching that example of service made Sumehra want to build a life with the same sense of purpose โ€” one where she can offer hope, support and care to others when they need it most.

She is currently interested in General Surgery and Hematology, and weโ€™re excited to see how those interests develop throughout her medical journey. ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉบ
A special shoutout goes to her best friend, Nevaeh, for being part of the support system behind the journey. ๐Ÿ’•

Welcome to the School of Medicine, Sumehra! Hereโ€™s to the start of an exciting chapter with the Class of 2031. โœจ

Weโ€™re kicking off our Meet the Class of 2031 series with Wholanda Greenidgeโ€” a future cardiologist whose love for medicine started all the way back in Grade 4, when learning about human anatomy first sparked her curiosity. โค๏ธ

Originally from Georgetown and now a proud West Bank girlie, Wholanda says the circulatory and respiratory systems were some of the first things that made her fall in love with medicine. Today, sheโ€™s beginning the journey toward turning that childhood dream into reality.

For her, medicine is more than a career. Itโ€™s a chance to care for others, serve her community, save lives, and make the family and support system who have stood behind her proud.

And of course, she couldnโ€™t begin this chapter without a shoutout to the Greenidge, Beckles and Innis families, her close friends โ€” the girlies๐Ÿ’• โ€” and her partner in crime throughout her studies, Alyssa McDonald.

Welcome to the School of Medicine, Wholanda! ๐Ÿฉบโœจ
Hereโ€™s to the beginning of an exciting journey for the Class of 2031.

Our newly renovated Student Lounge offers just that, a welcoming space where our medical students can take a well deserved break, share a few moments together, and simply enjoy some downtime. ๐Ÿ’™โœจ
