This century-old medical school has stood the test of time. Let’s keep opening opportunities to recruit young faculty to take us through another century of excellence.

Yesterday, I had a chat with the MBChB qualifying graduates. We talked about their future and that despite what’s going on they should still dream big, look at what they’ll get out of internship and hate mediocrity. GoU, start them off well on a career they’ll enjoy.

@MwesigyeGuma1 @KagutaMuseveni @AndrewMwenda Perhaps we should invest in clinical trial data - a basic fundamental tenet of evidence-based medicine before we start building drug factories.

My first entrance to Makerere was filled with self doubt until I met Prof Robert Kalyesubula @rkalyes1. The first interaction revealed that hard work, a teachable posture, resilience would earn me a spot somewhere.
Today, I am among the top ten graduates in college!
