She added that the first months of the programme will facilitate core learning before the students move on to specialized training for their various professions.
The Deputy Director of the institution, Chandroutie Persaud, warned the students that the programme will not be easy but assured that with a positive attitude and the support of the institution they will be successful.
“You are here to excel and we at Health Sciences will offer all the support that you need,” Persaud said.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony, who gave the feature address, encouraged the students to keep learning.
“We don’t want you to be limited to just being an X-ray technician. You will come and you can start there but there are other opportunities for you to be trained in CT scans and ultrasound and echo-cardio graphs and so forth. You should think seriously about a career trajectory in the area of imaging,” the Health Minister said.

The minister also noted that the attitude of health care workers must be addressed in these training courses. Often times, the junior nurses are first to respond to persons who visit healthcare facilities. For this reason, foul attitude cannot be tolerated, he said.
“We want you to understand that when patients come to us, they are coming in their most vulnerable times. Your attitude can either help to enhance their experience and make them have trust in the health system or you can turn them away and they will have very adverse comments to make.
“We want whatever we are delivering must be the highest quality possible; we are not investing literally billions of dollars to build a world class healthcare system only to be let down by somebody’s foul attitude,” Dr Anthony said.
