Mr. Godfrey Martin Araujo B.Sc. MBBS, FRCS Ed, Glasg. is a classical trained scholar who studied languages (French, Spanish and Latin) and modern studies including Geography and Economics at secondary school (St. Mary’s College) before going on to switch disciplines to do a first degree at UWI St. Augustine in Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry.
He entered UWI Mona in 1982 and completed his MBBS in 1987, finishing his internship in 1989, following which he spent 5 years in the UK specializing in Orthopaedics and attaining the FRCS Ed. and FRCS Glasg. qualifications in 1993.
He returned to Trinidad in 1995 and joined the Government service at Port of Spain General Hospital where he served until 2007 when he went fully into private practice to allow him to develop his chosen sub-specialty interest of Hand and Upper Limb Surgery. He has attended many training courses, workshops including cadaveric practice labs and conferences in pursuing the improvement of his knowledge and skill base in the practice of this specialized area of orthopaedics.
He has established links with Hand Surgeons in other countries for collaboration in treatment of cases and for further referral for even more advanced treatment options where the local facilities are not available. He continues to maintain an active interest in the management of trauma and the management of arthritic conditions.
