The Epidemiology Research Unit (ERU) in the Tropical Medicine Research Institute, UWI will launch the Clinical Epidemiology Unit on Thursday, February 19, 2009 at 9 am at the Mona Visitors’ Lodge and Conference Centre. The Launch signifies the admittance of UWI to the International Clinical Epidemiology Network (INCLEN) as a Clinical Epidemiology Unit (CEU) of the Canada/ USA International Clinical Epidemiology Network (CanUSACLEN), branch of INCLEN.  

The launch of the UWI-CEU places the UWI among seven regional networks and 82 Clinical Epidemiology Units in 24 countries. This will enhance opportunities for the Caribbean to advance the development of its human resources and increase capacity in health research and leadership training in the region.
