MESSAGE from Dr. Owen James

The Pulse Volume III, Issue 11 April/May 2014

Follow us on Twitter Like us on FB

I am not sure just HOW the naming

of the AAIMS Student‘s Magazine-

―The PULSE‖- came about; however

I think that it was well chosen.

The ―Pulse‖ is essentially the tactical

assessment of the state of the heart,

measured, inter alia, by ―the nature of

the beat‖ - its frequency, rhythm and

strength. Traditional Chinese

medicine places great reliance on

measurement of the pulse(s), allowing a determination of

several aspects of the patients‘ state of health.

The first extensive scientific description of the pulse is ascribed

to the famous Greek Physician , Surgeon and Philosopher-

Galen, aka Aelius Galenus or Galen of Pergamon. He

lived between AD 129-216, and his descriptions and theories,

based on his comprehensive Anatomy dissections and study of

Medicine, were eventually published ay Andreas Vesalius

(in ―De humanis corporis fabrica‖) in 1543, These de-

scriptions and theories moulded medical and scientific views

about the heart and circulation until some 1300 years later,

when Sir William Harvey more extensively described

aspects of the circulation of the blood in 1628 (in ―De motu

cordis”).

So the very use of the word ―pulse‖ should evoke sentiments of

great scientific endeavour and application- such as would be

relevant for students of Medicine at AAIMS. Further, Webster‘s

Dictionary also includes in the definition of

―pulse‖:”discernible by skill in perception, rather than

by open enquiry....” This implies ―keeping one‘s ears to the

ground ―, observing and assimilating data for later use as

appropriate.

And how does YOUR “PULSE” rate as by the above

criteria?

The magazine has been published with reasonable frequency

(perhaps with the occasional ―dropped beat‖); the content

(―volume‖) is excellent, acceptance (low ―peripheral

resistance‖) good and circulation (distribution) satisfactory.

Improvement may come by way of more articles with a variety

of subjects, more feed-back from readers, dedicated funding

and a cadre of editorial staff ensuring accurate monitoring of

all associated activities, drumming up further support and so

on.

But in its short existence the Pulse has done very well, reflect-

ing the parallel progress of the parent institution. We recall that

―Rome was not built in a day”; neither can a medical

school achieve immediate prominence shortly after inaugura-

tion. But with time one expects progress and since the opening

of AAIMS in January 2011 there have been several notable

achievements- as recoded in Pulse.

These include formation of a Student Guild and several active

Clubs (e.g. ―FAME‖), participation in several Community

& Environmental activities (e.g. Health Fairs, Blood Donation

Drives); exposure to information and drills for Disaster

Preparedness & Emergency Management (fire, earthquake)

and visits by varied dignitaries (Ministry of Health

representatives, overseas Medical Consultants, Reception

for Custos Rotulorum of St Elizabeth ).

Since October 2013 students, staff and the community are

benefitting from the development and running of the AAIMS

Medical Centre, under the able management of Dr.

Stanhope Maxwell and his assistant Ms Roxanne Bent.

AAIMS has a Counsellor (Mrs Myrna Bailey) providing adviso-

ry service and other health promotion programs; indeed the

school received an award for health promotion from the St

Bess Foundation in November 20123. AAIMS held their first

(superb!) Sports day on March 7, 2014, courtesy of the Black

River high School. AAIMS has a board of Trustees of which it

can be deservedly proud!

On the academic side the school has well-qualified staff, with an

increasing number of full-time Lecturers; several cohort of

students have registered at/passed through the institution,

successfully completing the Pre-Med course and some finishing

off the didactic part of the MD course with good passes in the

USMLE. Indeed AAIMS now has students doing Clinical

Rotations- here in Jamaica and abroad!

Is there more work to be done, more medals to be won? You bet

there is!

Are there challenges to growth and success? You bet there are!

Can the Pulse help in these matters? Certainly!

Pulse can and should continue to operate as an instrument of

reporting, but also for collecting information from members of

the AAIMS Community, and distilling them into useful

proposals, bringing to Management‘s attention perceived diffi-

culties and possible solutions.

Be a beacon of encouragement and inspiration to fellow

students, helping to shape not only attitudes to learning but also

to social issues, togetherness and loyalty. In the long run,

imperfections are expected to be corrected, ―better must come‖

and one‘s Alma Mater should be a place worthy of admiration

and lasting affection.

So things may be rough and tough sometimes, but can become

smooth and soft – with the right inputs.

And the start of the process is a seeing eye and a listening ear!

Vision and understanding...... “Ad astra, per aspera”.......

I wish you all (readers of ―the Pulse‖!!) well.

Shelley’s Testimonial

Interim Dean’s Message

It gives me immense pleasure to be part

of the AAIMS family. The flora of

Jamaica is alluring. It has fascinated me

beyond imagination. The best thing in

my life is to have coffee early in the

morning overlooking beautiful sea and

novel architecture and pristine setting of

our school. The People of Jamaica are so

charmingly friendly. What more is

required to be happy and relaxed!!!

When I reach my office, the office setting is again so exciting

and it beckons me to work. I realize the immensity of work

ahead only when I bend my head down. There is a lot to be

done. The first and foremost is to induce the feeling that we are

not working for others but for ourselves. How great if students

have inculcated the habit of believing that they are not working

for anybody else but for themselves and their future!!

The school is here to facilitate their ardent desire. Let them be

assured that I sit here in this chair to help their cause. I have a

lot of plans for them and their progress. I just do not want to be

theoretical but practical. ―Take one by one and complete them

successfully‖ is my motto.

I wish faculty, staff and students every best and let us all work

together for the success of our mission.

Professor Rayapati Sreenathan

(Interim Dean)

'Parting is such sweet sorrow that I

shall say goodnight till it be morrow.'

—Shakespeare

It was indeed a privilege to work with

such a dedicated and hardworking team,

to assist in fulfilling the AAIMS vision of

―form[ing] lifelong learners committed to

excellence, faith, leadership and service‖.

Though my tenure here was only eighteen

months, I bore witness to AAIMS achieving numerous

milestones, such as successful USMLE passes, local clinical

rotations being granted, the St. Bess Award for contribution to

Medicine, among many others. I‘m indeed proud of the strides

made and am positive that the previous successes have only

paved the way for many more achievements to come. In

addition, it was an honour to record these achievements in

‗The PULSE‘, as its coordinator for six editions.

It was also a pleasure to work in the capacity of Student

Services coordinator, to watch the student body come together

to form vibrant clubs and societies, as well as work with their

guild executive to make contributions to the extended AAIMS

community.

Thank you all for the impact you have made on my life and best wishes for the future.

Shelley McIntyre (Outgoing Student

Services Coordinator)

THE BASISCS FOR LIVING TOGETHER

SUCCESSFULLY AS COLLEGE ROOMMATES

The following are some basis rules for sharing space which will

guarantee you success in your living arrangements.

Establish guidelines

Share cleaning duties

Practice good hygiene

Respect each other‘s belongings

Be flexible

COMMUNICATE!

The lessons that derive from the experience of living together

are valuable throughout the rest of life. Believe it or not it can be

the prelude to sharing a home with a spouse or partner. One

important thing to be remembered is that you should always

RESPECT that your roommate lives there with you! Keep that in

mind and the following six rules will fall into place easily.

Rule 1: Acknowledge mutual and individual areas

Decide where in the cramped space that you have can be yours

to say ―decorate as you see fit.‖ Similarly, cluttering mutual

space with your belongings is a no, no.

Rule 2: Make do with less

Accumulate as few things as possible and avoid unnecessary

clutter.

Rule 3: Be efficient with storage

Hooks and hangers can be effective to clean up floor space.

Rule 4: Get “stuff” out of sight

Hooks and hangers and a few nails strategically placed can be

efficient for moving chargers and cords out of the way on a desk,

or storing belts etc. Drawer organizers for pens etc. are quite

useful.

Rule 5: Chore charts work

Decide from the ―get go‖ who will do what and when.

Rule 6: Talk to each other

If a roommate situation develops don‘t stew about it and let it

get out of hand. Ask your roommate for a chance to talk, and go

to a neutral location where you away from the problem. Use ―I‖

statements instead of ―Your‖ statements. Try to figure out what

caused the problem and be honest about your expectations. If

you are not able to resolve your differences, use your guidance

counsellor, for example.

Follow the above and you could conceivably end up

with a lifelong friend!

Student Guild Association Banquet 2014

SAYGNG FAREWEHH!!!

On Friday, April 4, 2014, the SGA‘s Entertainment

Committee through the vision of MD 8 student, Yanica

Campbell, transformed the AAIMS dining room into ―A

Secret Garden‘‘, for the Student Guild Association Banquet.

The Banquet followed the same theme and symbolized the

ending of the Spring 2014 Semester. It allowed for all in

attendance to reflect on the successes made by the Student

Guild over that period. It also served has a farewell ceremony,

to honour the MD 5 students who are currently engaged in

KAPLAN for their USMLE preparations. The night also

functioned as a handing over ceremony for the new guild

executive body.

The event started one hour later than schedule, due to unexpected showers, however this did not dampen the moods of those in attendance. Mr. Andre-Rue ―Starboy‖ Robertson effectively hosted the programme, which started with a prayer by Mr Donald Jones.

After the proceedings was blessed, reports were given by each guild executive member. After which the new guild was installed which was facilitated by Registrar & Student Services Director, Dr. Randolph Watson. The awards ceremony later followed, where students were rewarded for their contributions to the guild and to the various clubs and societies. Top students who participated in AAIMS first sports day were also rewarded and the winning house (Yellow) was presented with a trophy. Dinner of Rosemary chicken and assorted sides was later served, buffet style. While we dined a MD 5 video presentation was shown after which Yanica Campbell led a tribute to MD 5 where they were presented with a cake and those in attendance where given the chance to give their testimonies. Before closing, raffle winners were selected and a dessert of fruit cocktail and ice cream was served. The banquet officially ended with the vote of thanks given by immediate past guild president, Alaine Ainsley. However, the after party followed with students dancing into the night to sounds of soca, hip hop and dancehall.

On April 16, 2014, both students and members of the AAIMS

Administration gathered in the dining room to say goodbye to the first

Dean, Dr. Owen James & Support Services Manager, Mrs. Eugenie Baker.

MD5 Students pose for a picture at the banquet.

The new student guild executive all smile for a picture at the banquet.

Meet the Guild Executive

I am Moya McLeod and I am the

Guild President. I grew up in

Kingston and started my education

at Vaz Preparatory School. I

continued at Campion College

where I did my CSEC and CAPE

examinations. After this, I went to

the University of the West Indies

where I got a degree in Medical

Physics, Bioengineering and

Electronics.

After pursuing my degree, I was interested in taking my Physics and Mathematics career further but my love for medicine was greater. This brought me to AAIMS. I spend most of my time studying in my room and eating. I live in room 43 with my roommate Nysie Bennett.

I am a very family oriented person and I grew up with my five brothers. I am also really into movies and prefer horror movies. I read a lot of Shakespeare because deep down I am a poet at heart. I also enjoy supporting my brother at their various sport-ing events. I also like long walks on the beach, candlelit dinners and romantic novels.

I am Donniece Henry, an articulate, confident individual who relishes challenges and works enthusiastically under pressure. I hail from the Brown‘s Town in the parish of Saint Ann the largest parish in Jamaica. An old girl of the St. Hilda‘s Diocesan High School who is driven by the motto ‗Res severa verum guadium‘- hard work brings true joy. Seeking and striving to achieve the highest standard possible at any given task is always my main objective. While in university, I want my educa-

tion to bring me face to face with the awesome power of the hu-man spirit and the human mind working together to achieve greatness. I believe success in life takes determination, perse-verance and believing in yourself. In my capacity as second vice present, in charge of clubs, socie-ties and outreach, I want to be a part of a university life that pro-vides a balance of extracurricular activities that foster relation-ships and fellowships with persons of various backgrounds that students will want to identify with, commit to, and be loyal to for the rest of their lives. I endeavour to work to my fullest potential with the hope that the All American Institute of Medical Sciences will help me achieve my goal of becoming an acclaimed doctor.

My name is Yolanda Alecia Beckford.

I am a fun loving Sagittarian who

hails from the quiet countryside of

the small district of Mc Field in West-

moreland Jamaica. Being a country

girl I have always prided myself on

being a nature lover and one who

g r e a t l y a p p r e c i a t e s a n d

values humble beginnings.

I am a past student of The Mannings'

School located in Savanna-La-Mar

Westmoreland, which has helped to mould me into the

ambitious and determined woman I am today.

In my capacity as Entertainment and Cultural Affairs Chairper-

son, it is my desire to put aside my more reserved nature and

exude more openly my vivacious and exuberant personality. I

would like to take on this journey my fellow students as we ex-

plore, interact and make beautiful memories together.

I am Rowan Newman, a first year

medical student here at AAIMS. I was

born and raised in Mandeville, Man-

chester where I started my academic

journey at El Instituto de Mandevilla

Preparatory School then continued

on to Manchester High School and

later to the U.W.I. Mona where I

completed a B.Sc. in Food Chemistry

and Zoology.

Medicine has always been my love from childhood days (the area of spe-cialization is yet to be decided). Along with being a medical doctor, I

would also like to be an entrepreneur. I am a proud Christian and a firm believer in the words of God. My hobbies mainly include watching movies (preferably comedies and action-films), cooking, hanging with friends, listening to music and spending time with family, as I am a typical 'family-girl.' Teamwork makes the dream work and since a chain is as strong as its weakest link, let us all work together to not only become great doctors but become great humanitarians. We are our brother's keepers.

My name is Theodore Collin Hayden and I‘m currently a Premed student, cohort 4 at AAIMS. I consider myself a very active person who loves to interact with children. Because of these attributes I hope someday, by God‘s grace to become a pediatrician.

I was born at the St. Joseph‘s Hospital

in St. Andrew on that great day July 6,

1994. My parents considered me to be a

gift from God, hence they gave me the

name Theodore. I strive to live up to

my name.

I developed the habit of making friends easily because I had to at-tend various schools. After attending Grade 3 at the Children‘s learning Centre, I went on to Jessie Rippoll primary school. After successfully passing my GSAT exams, I was accepted into Glenmuir High School where I completed seven years. During my spare time I like to play cricket, and represented my high school cricket team for three years. I also play football and other sports on a whole. My favourite colour is yellow. As a Seventh-day Adventist Christian I believe and put my faith in Christ who has been the main support and reason why I am still in school. My motivation comes from Proverbs 3:5-8.

My name is Carey Crooks and I was born in the parish of Clarendon, where I attended the Alley primary and later on the Glenmuir High School. I stem from humble beginnings, in a little community called Lionel Town, Clarendon, where I live with my father and younger brother. I am a hard worker who is high in selflessness. I'm considered to be a very jovial and fun person to be around. During my tenure at Glenmuir, I participated widely in Track and Field as I was not only captain of the team but it was one of my beloved hobbies,

besides socializing with persons. I was also involved in the chess club where I was P.R.O.

I particularly like to tinker around puzzles and mysteries and I very passionate about music and can be found with my earphones in 24/7. I also love fitness and not to mention cooking. If I could describe myself, I would not know where to begin but rather in-vite you to have a chat with me to see how friendly and interactive I can be. I hope with the help of God to become a successful cardiothoracic surgeon.

Immunization Requirements

―Clinical rotations here in Jamaica

are spectacular!!! The teachers

are definitely a Godsend and we

are getting some real hands on

training. I really am learning and

pushing through and they really

encourage you to learn, our clinical skills have

definitely sharpened up and we are

continuously improving. I see good things

ahead of us.‖

- Gavin Tyndale

The Clinical Rotation Experience

Immunizations and Immunity Requirements for all

AAIMS MD Students

The following is a description of

immunizations that are required and the

type of documentation that a student

would have to provide to verify the

requirements have been met. If there is a

communicable disease outbreak, addition-

al vaccinations may be required as speci-

fied by the local public health agency. Proof of all immunizations

and tuberculin skin tests should be copied and attached to the

Student Immunization Tracking Form.

a) MMR (measles, mumps and rubella): students born in 1957 or

later must provide proof of one of the following: written proof of

two MMR immunizations OR proof of a positive titer for each of

these diseases. According to CDC recommendations, students born

before 1957 are generally felt to be immune, but one dose of MMR

vaccine should be given to anyone born before 1957 who does not

have proof of positive titers to each of the three diseases. (From

Recommendations of the Immunization Action Coalition with

technical content reviewed by CDC March 2007)

b) Varicella (chickenpox): two varicella vaccinations OR

documented proof of previous disease completed by a licensed/

certified healthcare practitioner (M.D., D.O., N.P., P.A., MB.BS)

OR a positive IgG titer OR if the titer is NEGATIVE obtain the first

varicella vaccination and attach documentation to the

Immunization Documentation form. The second varicella

vaccination must be obtained 4 to 8 weeks later and proof

submitted to the AAIMS Registry/Clinical Rotations Program

Director.

c) Hepatitis B: The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has

recommended that hepatitis B vaccine be considered for a number

of groups including healthcare personnel at high risk for blood or

needle stick exposure. Students will be provided with information

on protective and standard precautions as part of their Program

curriculum, but students are advised to consult with their personal

physician about the advisability of receiving the hepatitis B

Vaccine.

To meet the requirements for Hepatitis B vaccination, students must either submit proof of completion of three Hepatitis B injections OR copy of proof of a positive HbsAB antibody titer OR a signed vaccination declination form (see Exhibit B). If a student has not received injections in the past, and has not signed the declination form, he/she should receive an initial dose of hepatitis B with second and third vaccinations administered in 1 month and 6 month intervals. (Recommendations from Immunization Action Coalition with technical content reviewed by the CDC March 2007.

d) Influenza: Health care providers who are clinically or

sub-clinically infected with influenza virus can transmit the virus to other persons including patients whose immune systems are compromised. As such, many clinical facilities are requiring that all staff, students, and volunteers show proof of an annual influenza vaccination OR a signed vaccination declination form (Exhibit B). If a student declines this immunization, and a clinical agency requires such a vaccination, there is the possibility that the student may not be permitted to participate in the clinical experience at that agency. (Recommendations of the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee, CDC February 24, 2006)

e) Tdap : Tetanus, diphtheria and cellular pertussis (Tdap): Proof

of a one-time adult booster vaccination since 2005.

PPD Tuberculin Skin Testing

A two-step test* may be required by the AAIMS Registry/Clinical

Rotations Teaching Hospitals, depending on the requirements of

clinical facilities. *Two-step testing is used to reduce the

likelihood that a boosted reaction will be misinterpreted as a

recent infection.

a) All Clinical Rotations MD students must be screened annually

for TB. The typical screening test includes a single PPD skin test.

Students must provide documented proof of a negative TB status

every year while in the MD Program. Vaccination with live viruses

may interfere with TST reactions. For persons scheduled to receive

a TST, testing should be done as follows:

Either on the same day as vaccination with live-virus vaccine or

4-6 weeks after the administration of the live-virus vaccine

At least one month after smallpox vaccination. (CDC, Division

of Tuberculosis Elimination, June 2009).

Students with a history of a positive reaction to TB skin tests

must provide a report of a negative chest x-ray. Annual TB

screenings thereafter for symptomatology will be required by a

health care provider and must be submitted. (CDC, Division of

Tuberculosis Elimination, June 2009).

b) Some facilities require use of the Two-Step TB Test, in which if

the reaction to the first test is classified as negative, a second test

is to be done 1-3 weeks later.

c) A positive reaction to the second test probably represents a

boosted reaction (past infection or prior BCG vaccination). On the

basis of this second test result, the person should be classified as

previously infected and cared for by a health care provider. This

would not be considered a skin test conversion. If the second test

result is negative, the person should be classified as uninfected. In

these persons, a positive reaction to any subsequent test is likely to

represent new infection with M tuberculosis (skin test conversion).

Two-step testing is increasingly used for the initial skin testing of

adults who will be retested periodically, such as health care

workers.
