Summary

  • I completed my medical training at the College of Medicine, University of Nigeria. I continue to explore my interests in Clinical Medicine, Research, Leadership, Teaching, and Community service. I have completed projects with research teams like the Spinal Cord Research Center at the University of Manitoba, the Consortium for Advocacy and Research, and the Health Promotion, Molecular Therapy and Rehabilitation Initiative both at the University of Nigeria. I also taught human physiology to medical students at the University of Nigeria and earned a Master of Science degree with a major in Medicine from the University of Manitoba, Canada. I am happy to be a part of several humanitarian projects. I remain passionate about patient care and research; have been honored with numerous awards and I am presently a medical resident at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York, United States.
