NASSAU, BAHAMAS Doctors Hospital Bahamas (DHBL) and the Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institute (BTVI) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to explore opportunities for collaboration to their mutual benefit.

The MOU, valid for a period of five years initially, outlines a number of potential collaborations between the two organizations.

DHHS President and CEO Dr Charles Diggiss said:At DHHS (Doctors Hospital Health System), we believe in the concept of upskilling, certification and continuing education.

We see this as a mutually beneficial arrangement with the potential for a lasting impact on both parties.

We see great value in our students and faculty having the ability to intern in a fast-paced and ever-evolving institution such as DHHS.
