Canadian, Jamaica universities partners in easing Caribbean nursing shortage - Associated Press
Nursing students in the Caribbean can pursue their studies via a new distance learning program with a Canadian university that aims to reduce the region's nursing shortage, officials said Saturday. The program, a collaboration between Toronto's Ryerson University and the University of the West Indies' Mona campus in Jamaica, hopes to combat a nursing shortage aggravated by emigration and a lack of access to education, said Ryerson chancellor Raymond Chang. Chang, who is Jamaican, donated about C$750,000 to cover the first three years of the program. About 67 students at UWI - from Jamaica, St. Lucia and Belize - will pursue the program that will initially last three years and four months.
