The College sponsors continuing medical education programs, such as the Annual meeting of Fellows to help surgeons keep abreast of the latest information on surgical subjects, including the ethical and legal aspects of practice.

The College encourages the development of trainees through the award of prizes for scientific and clinical presentations. It maintains a fund to assist trainees and medical students to broaden their experiences with fellows in smaller communities in the Caribbean.

Through its committees in Ethics and Law, and on Standards the College provides advice to its members, and to any other organization or government that seeks advice.
