Dr Andrew Carlos Liburd, who studies at the Faculty of Dentistry (Dentistry), University of Medical Sciences, comes from Nevis, where he completed his secondary education and is the youngest member of his family to follow the medical tradition. His father, Dr A Linton Liburd, is well known and his four siblings are also medical doctors. He has always had a passion for dentistry since his school days and worked at his private and public dental clinics, even during his summer vacation. His dream came true in 2014 when he received a scholarship to study in Cuba. He serves and thanks God for his success and looks forward to striving for the highest levels of oral hygiene and for a bright smile locally and regionally.
Dr Rhenez R. Thompson, who studied at the University of Medical Sciences, grew up in Sandy Point, where she completed her secondary education and later graduated from CFB College. She has always had a fascination for science and taught science and math at Verchild’s High School, then received a scholarship to study medicine in Cuba and began her studies in 2014. She expresses her gratitude to God, her family, the church and the former and offers ambassadors in Cuba for their support and encouragement.
