Students of Family Health Medical School embark on elective rotation

The first badge of students from Family Health Medical School, Ghana’s Premier Private Medical School, who successfully completed their Final Part II examination, have proceeded on their Elective Rotation, which began on the 25th of November 2019.

Some of the students are placed in University Hospitals in the United States of America, United Kingdom, South Africa, Germany and Nigeria, whilst others are in some Regional and General Hospitals in Ghana.

Specifically, some of them are at the University of Michigan, one of Family Health Medical School collaborating Universities in the United States, and some too are attached to the Volta River Authority Hospital in Akosombo.

After their Elective Rotation, the students would be ushered into their final year of their medical training programme.

The President of the University College, Professor E. Y. Kwawukume hinted that, Management has earmarked some of them for their postgraduate studies at the Family Health University College on completion.

"This, indeed, would be a major feat in the history of the Institution, which progressively, is gaining recognition within the Sub-Sahara African region, for offering comprehensive medical training to students," he stated.

He revealed that, with the vision to be the prime centre for professional medical education and training in the advancement of human health, Family Health University College does not intend to leave any stone unturned in providing the necessary facilities and implementing the relevant policies that will aid in giving the best medical education to her students.
