Abstract
The article examines various initiatives undertaken by the curriculum committee at an offshore Caribbean medical school to strengthen teaching-learning. The authors examined various initiatives undertaken by the committee since September 2017. They also searched the scientific literature for brief descriptions of similar initiatives at other medical schools in the Caribbean and other regions. A number of initiatives have been introduced to strengthen the curriculum and teaching-learning. Among the new initiatives were creating a structured outline for course syllabi, initiating online modules on nutrition in medicine and patient safety, introducing a health humanities module, starting a module on integrative medicine, system-wise sequencing of the fourth semester, conducting sessions on critical appraisal of scientific literature, and introducing a day long orientation programme. The impact of these initiatives can be assessed in the future.
