About MBTT

The Medical Board of Trinidad and Tobago (MBTT) plays a pivotal role in regulating the medical profession in the country. Established to ensure the highest standards of medical practice, MBTT oversees the registration, licensing, and conduct of medical practitioners. This regulation helps maintain trust between the public and the healthcare community, ensuring that patients receive care from qualified professionals.

In addition to registration, MBTT enforces strict ethical guidelines. It monitors practitioners’ adherence to professional standards, and any misconduct or breach of ethical practices can lead to investigations or disciplinary action. MBTT is committed to safeguarding public health by ensuring that all registered doctors meet the necessary qualifications and ongoing education requirements.

MBTT also focuses on continuing professional development (CPD) to ensure that healthcare professionals stay updated with advancements in medical science and technology. The board encourages and mandates ongoing learning to ensure that doctors continue providing top-quality care. This approach benefits both practitioners and patients by fostering a culture of lifelong learning.

The MBTT provides guidance on medical certifications, such as sick leave and death certificates, ensuring their issuance follows proper procedures. It also engages with the medical community through updates and revisions of regulations, helping practitioners stay compliant with the latest medical and legal standards. Through these efforts, MBTT remains a cornerstone of healthcare regulation in Trinidad and Tobago, promoting accountability and professionalism in medicine.
