Our overarching objectives are to support, inspire and encourage succeeding generations of medical students to excel as doctors and maintain the college of medicine, university of Ibadan international reputation for excellence in teaching, clinical and academic medicine.
There is an urgent and greater need to support medical students because of post pandemic cost of living crisis. Currently we are funding annual scholarship programmes for 10 indigent medical students and hope to expand the number of scholarships, upgrading and furnishing IMSG pre-clinical library and are involved in other initiatives and infrastructure projects to support and improve the wellbeing and enhance the learning environment of medical students.
