A Brief History of the Creation, Past and Current Leadership of the Department
The idea of establishing a College of Medicine at the University was mooted right from the take-off of the University in 1981. Indeed, not only was its suggested location and phasing spelt out in line with the then multi-campus philosophy of the University then in vogue, its primary objectives, curricular development, enrolment structure, manpower scenario and cost implication was all outlined even at that stage. As things later turned out, while the faculties of Arts, Social, Education, Social Sciences, Engineering, Law, Management Sciences and Agricultural Sciences took off, the College of Medicine took-off about two decades after the idea of setting it up was mooted.
