Life at Lincoln American University 

 

The time that students spent in the University or college in which they are studying have a significant impact on shaping them for the rest of their life, both professionally as well as personally. 

 

In educational institutions, it’s not only the quality of education that matters but also the quality of life. For proper education, students’ brains need to be in good shape. That is possible only when they are provided with a friendly environment and facilities for a fulfilling life as they progress in their academics and career. 

 

At Lincoln American University, we foster an environment to provide a feeling of home away from home. In the campus, the life of students goes beyond education, and students get so much to experience!

 

Five years that students spend at the University are filled with moments of joy, thrill, learning and each moment takes them to one step closer towards their dream and goal of becoming a doctor. Student Life keeps changing and offered with different facets as student progress through different phases to become a doctor,

 

While it’s quite not possible for us to enlist all the things that Student Life at Lincoln American University offers or chronicle all the moments in the lives of our students, we have made an attempt to provide our current and prospective students an opportunity to have a glimpse into the Student Life at the University with a quick go through of a few things that our medical students experience during their journey with us and what wows their experience of medical education in America. 

 

This is for you - all the aspiring doctors! Feeling Excited? Okay! Without Further ado, let’s dive in:  

 

A Warm Welcome and Get Together 

 

The first thing, it is! While formally known as Induction, we call it “A Warm Welcome and Get Together.” Once you land at the University for the first time, you’re welcomed by our staff members and present students and a “Familiar Gathering” is arranged for you. 

 

 

In the gathering, your colleagues who have been in your shoes will help you get familiar with the University, class schedules, hostel and mess facility, and local atmosphere! And yeah… there is no such thing as junior-senior at Lincoln American University. Be it your first year or you are about to become a doctor, all the members maintain a behavior of respect and friendliness towards each other and study and live in a disciplined environment. 

 

Helping Hands of Friendly People

 

Be it getting help for your studies or go out to explore Guyana and buy some stuff in the foreign shops, our students —who have already been there— always extend their help to let you get familiar with the new country and make the most of your study time. 

 

 

Further, you will be overwhelmed by the over-friendly —in a good way— Guyanese whose welcoming nature is known all over the world. So, worry not! Be assured that at any point in time, you will not be alone. Take a sigh of relief!

 

Lectures: Sometimes Boring, Sometimes Exciting

 

Faculty members at Lincoln American University are veteran professors who know some hidden tactics to make education fun. For example, our professor of Anatomy & Physiology, Dr. Abdullah Yusuf teaches his students with his self-invented medical game while delivering lectures on Anatomy! 

 

Our innovative approach to providing education makes lectures more exciting and less boring for you and makes you easily grasp the hard medical concepts while pursuing medical education in Guyana Campus. 

 

 

At the same time, we are not guaranteeing that all lectures will be exciting. Indeed, there will be lectures on topics you are less interested in. Well, you have to bear them. After all, you are going to be a “complete doctor!”

 

Day-Outs and Picnics

 

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy and Jill a dull girl! We love to refer to this quote frequently and abide by it. At times, all of us at the University take time-off, arrange picnics and go out to rediscover ourselves, regain our energy and relax.

 

 

Our day-outs are made even more exciting by the pleasant climate of Guyana. The country has got beaches, mountains, beautiful rivers and parks and is a popular tourist destination as well. As a student at Lincoln American University, you get to enjoy all of it, for absolutely free – The Free Guyana Tourism, we call it! 

 

Giving Back to Community 

 

Togetherness and welfare of all are at the center of what we do at Lincoln American University. From your very first year at the University, you get the opportunity to be a part of our community and medical outreach programs and give back to the community. 

 

 

We keep arranging and participating in local medical programs, blood donation, and free health check-up camps, etc. We also arrange for seminars in schools to make students aware about medical career and opportunities where our students serve as speakers. Want to be a part of it? You’re most welcome!

New Connections for Lifetime

 

Meeting new people is always exciting. During your Student Life, you will meet new people, not only on day one but throughout the program. 

 

First, you meet students and colleagues and University members. Then, you meet new faces in seminars, outreach programs, and camps, and when you are on clinical training, you meet new doctors and new patients every day.

 

 

It’s the best time of the lifetime to build connections that last a lifetime, make new friends that you can count on, grow your personal as well as professional network, learn from others’ know-how and help others learn what you know. Throughout your Student Life, you will get the chance to build links with colleagues and veteran professionals alike that can get you a new job offer or give a recommendation whenever you need one. Same goes for them as well. It’s a win-win!

 

Clinical Experiences: Feel Like A Doctor

 

While occasional visits to hospitals and clinics are arranged in the initial years of the medical program, going to hospitals for clinical training becomes a regular affair during clinical rotations program which continues for a period of two years.

 

 

During clinical experiences, you will be visiting hospitals, learning under the guidance of medical practitioners and will also be treating patients under expert guidance. Clinical rotations are that phase of your medical journey when you will feel and work like a doctor even before you become one. That’s one of the life-changing things that will happen to you in your Student Life.
