A young Jamaican scholar from Clarendon is beginning her journey towards becoming a neurologist after entering The University of the West Indies, Mona, with an impressive academic record spanning 33 subjects.<\/p>\n
Jamoya Seaton, from Four Paths, Clarendon, has been introduced as The UWI Mona\u2019s Top Matriculant for 2026 as she begins studies in Medicine.<\/p>\n
According to information shared by the university, Seaton accumulated 17 Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate subjects and 16 Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination units before entering university.<\/p>\n
Her academic performance extends beyond the number of examinations she completed.<\/p>\n
CXC records from 2024 list Jamoya Jameila Seaton among Jamaica\u2019s highest-performing candidates in Integrated Science, where she ranked third on the country\u2019s territorial merit list.<\/p>\n
She now enters one of the university\u2019s most demanding programmes as she works towards a career in medicine.<\/p>\n
UWI Mona\u2019s medical programme requires students to have a strong foundation in the sciences, including Biology and Chemistry at the advanced level, alongside Mathematics, English Language and the required sciences at CSEC level.<\/p>\n
For Seaton, however, entering medical school is another stage of a longer ambition.<\/p>\n
The Clarendon native hopes eventually to specialise in neurology, a branch of medicine focused on disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord and nervous system.<\/p>\n
Her progression from Four Paths to UWI Mona highlights a journey marked by academic achievement, determination and a clear professional goal.<\/p>\n
With 33 CSEC subjects and CAPE units behind her, Seaton now turns her attention to university and the demanding years of medical training ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
