Teaching Doctors in the World's Fastest-Growing Economy - Texila American University in Guyana

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, March 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As Guyana rockets to the top of the global economic charts—propelled by its substantial offshore oil reserves—Texila American University (TAU) College of Medicine – Guyana seizes this unprecedented moment to educate and empower the future game-changers of healthcare. At the heart of the world's fastest-growing economy, TAU is forging a new era of healthcare professionals, blending visionary programs with a hands-on approach to producing tomorrow's doctors.

 Guyana has emerged as a global frontrunner in GDP growth, with an average economic expansion rate of 27.14% over the last five years. Its soaring per capita income has sparked a groundswell of optimism—yet this meteoric rise demands a robust, future-focused, and meaningful development of a healthcare system to match. TAU's forward-thinking methodology meets that demand head-on through:

• Accredited Curriculum & Resources: Students hone their skills in advanced simulation labs and interactive digital platforms, cultivating quick-thinking, tech-savvy doctors primed to respond to today's most urgent medical challenges.
  • As a Caribbean medical school, TAU holds international accreditations from ACCM, BAC, and CAAM-HP. These accreditations allow TAU Graduates to explore opportunities around the world.

• World-Class Faculty & Research: A league of accomplished educators and scientists brings the latest breakthroughs to students, instilling a research-based mindset that fosters innovative problem-solving.
• Vibrant Community Involvement: Partnerships with local clinics and nonprofits enable students to deliver compassionate care where it is needed most, creating an immediate positive impact while refining their clinical skills.
• International Pathways: TAU's global affiliations and international rotations prepare graduates for licensure on multiple continents, ensuring they're ready to tackle healthcare hurdles anywhere in the world.

"Guyana's incredible economic trajectory is rewriting our program and the region's playbook," said TAU President Saju Bhaskar. "At Texila American University, we're harnessing this electrifying moment to nurture medical visionaries—healthcare leaders whose expertise will reverberate from our campus to communities worldwide."

While oil production continues to catapult Guyana's fortunes, experts warn of the imperative to diversify. TAU steps confidently into this gap, cultivating top-tier healthcare professionals who will bolster the nation's resilience amid rapid change.

"The remarkable association between the growing economy and our investment in graduate medical education will help Guyana shine on the global stage for decades to come," remarked Dr. Hugh Duckworth, Provost.
