“Dr. Beckles joined the Peace Corps and served in Gabon and Niger before returning to the United States where he pursued psychiatry studies at the University of Maryland’s Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour.
In 1997 he returned to Guyana and set up a Psychiatry practice at Lot 302 Church Street, Queenstown, Georgetown.”
