BAMP celebrates five decades with first Doctors’ Week

The Barbados Association of Medical Practitioners (BAMP) is celebrating its first-ever Doctors’ Week after 50 years of existence, as the practice of medicine continues to change, association president Dr Lynda Williams said.

Giving remarks at James Street Methodist Church on Sunday, Dr Williams said the week was an opportunity to celebrate doctors and the sacrifices they make throughout their careers.

“The practice of medicine is changing. There are new ways of studying medicine. There are new medical schools. There’s the integration of artificial intelligence. The internet is a source of medical information for many people who turn to Google but fail to realise that the practice of medicine is an intricate and difficult practice,” she said.
