Dr. Jasmine Riviere Marcelin

Dominican-born Dr. Jasmine Riviere Marcelin, MD migrated to Antigua in 1997 with her parents Asquith and Myrtle Riviere.

Dr. Riviere Marcelin recently graduated Summa Cum Laude (with highest honour) from American University of Antigua College of Medicine (AUA) having scored a double 99 percent on the USMLE exams, first  in October 2008 step one and again in June 2010 in the step two exams.

Jasmine’s academic journey progressed from the Convent Preparatory Primary School to the Convent High School in Dominica until 1997. It continued at the Christ the King High School from January 1998 and the Antigua State College, from which institutions she graduated in 2000 and 2002 respectively. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in 2006, graduating Magna Cum Laude from Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, with a double major in Biology and Chemistry, as well as a Diploma in Forensic Sciences.

Having been awarded a Scholarship by AUA College of Medicine in concurrence with the Government of Antigua/Barbuda, Jasmine commenced her Medical Studies at the Antigua Campus in September 2006 and never looked back.

Dr. Riviere Marcelin begins her residency in Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, USA, on July 1, 2011. She is married to Dr. Alberto Marcelin, son of Delivrance and Paulemie Daut of Florida USA.

Dr. Marcelin is himself a recent graduate of American University of Antigua College of Medicine. He begins his residency in family Medicine at AnMed Health Medical Centre in South Carolina, USA.

The families of both young doctors praise God for their successes and extend best wishes to them for continued success in their chosen careers.

    The field of medicine is not what it used to be. It is very controlled. They have to complete their residencies and then maybe they might think of returning to DA. But, you have to have a much improved hospital.

    I do not know how to express my excitement for the achievement of these young people. This adds to the positive names young people are to receive. Additionally, it motivates other youth to strive for the best and never look back. Even if a student is not straight A student, there is nothing that should keep you from being the best that you can be.

    I am pleased at their efforts and offer a double thumbs up to you both. Young lady, continue to play the fundamental role that you are playing in society. God is looking down at you and smiling right now. Great job. Keep it up

      You don’tt just come fresh out of med school and start practicing medicine They need to do their residency under the tutilage of other docors. They need to be exposed (hands on) to a very wide range of diseases which they might never encounter in Dominica.

      Be patient she might just do that in time.

      Why should one work in da for 5k a month when they can make 5k a week? It’s sometimes about giving back but why suffer if u don’t have to? Do the math.

    She is a “jeanne” Loubiere after all. Congratulations to Dr. Marcellin and her family who I am sure are all beamig with pride over such achievements. All of us from Lubier must also feel a sense of joy at her accomplishments as well. Loubiere is in the spotlight on a very positive note this time around.
