To give qualitative medical education to youths, Xavier University, Bonaire in the Netherlands Antilles, Central America, has unveiled its Pre-Medical or Foundation programmes in Health Sciences, aimed at producing more Medical Doctors for the nation.
The university is partnering with the TAIDOB College, a post-primary school, located in Asero, a suburb of Abeokuta, capital of Ogun State for the establishment of the study centre for the programme in the country.
Expressing the preparedness of the university to deliver qualitative tuition, Mr. Xaju Bhaskar, the Vice President, International Affairs of the university said the academic curriculum of the institution would be in line with what is obtained in the United States of America (USA).
He said that the mission of the university was to train more Nigerians in Health Sciences education, saying this would enable the country to meet the challenge of shortage of medical personnels in the country.
His words: “The situation in the country today shows that many citizens of this country are interested in studying Medicine but the number of universities available could not meet their demands. That is why we have decided to create this opportunity for them to spend about two year Pre-Medical degree programme in the country.
“After their Pre-Medical degree programmes in the country, they would proceed to Philippine for their medical and clinical programmes. Those who are trained would add value to the nation’s health care delivery system.
On the choice of Philippine for their Medical and Clinical programmes, Bhaskar recalled that the country operates the same education curriculum like USA, saying Philippine remains the only country that was ruled by the Americans in history.
He said that recent statistics show that in the next five years, USA would have a shortage of about 1.2 million nurses, as he noted that developing countries like Indian, Argentina, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Sub-Sahara African countries are facing more challenges in their health care delivery.
“After 200 years of Spanish rule, Philippine was governed by the USA. It shares the same education curriculum with the USA. For those who complete their Pre-Medical degree programme, they would travel to Philippine where they would be trained in some of the best medical hospitals in the country for at least three years.”
On the preparedness of TAIDOB College facilities to meet the need of the students, Dr. Abayomi Oluwatosin Jibodu, the Chairman and Proprietor, TAIDOB College attested to the quality facilities, saying the school has equipped its Physics, Chemistry and Biology laboratories to the the challenges
He said that the school located in serene and congenial environment would afford medical students opportunity to begin their foundation programme without any detraction, saying the school also had a standard hospital with male and female wards under the supervision of Nurses and visiting Medical Doctors.
Jibodu said that the college has 1,000-seat Auditorium , noting that this would enable them to host seminars, conferences and workshops as well as give them opportunity to meet under one roof.
His words: “This college has been given provisional approval to operate a study centre for the Xavier University. We cannot afford to let our aspiring students down. Currently, our laboratories were equipped to meet the challenges posed by medical education at the pre-medical and foundation level.
“The first set of students that would be enroled for the programme would be admitted in January/February 2011. At the end of the day our goals to have more Nigerians being trained as Medical Doctors would be met.”
We are looking for agents who can partner with us and work as local coordinators to invite applications from Potential Colleges and Universities to partner with Xavier University to offer the above programs.
