A site visit was made by external reviewers, Professor Renn Holness and Dr Rhonda SealeyThomas on October 7, 2011 to determine the suitability of the proposed site for development as a medical school.

Further monitoring on an annual basis will be carried out through reports and site visits. Vanguard University is expected to provide CAAM-HP with evidence of concrete arrangements for the clinical programme by May 2013.
