The College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Rhema University, Aba, Abia State, has been given approval for pre-clinical accreditation by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria.
According to Rhema varsity’s Public Relations Officer, Earl Ugo Okezie, the news was conveyed in a letter signed by the Council’s Registrar, Dr. T.A.B. Sanusi following the report of the Council’s Accreditation Team to Rhema University Medical School on October 13, 2022.
With this approval, Okezie said, Rhema University College of Health Sciences can now proceed to conduct examinations in anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology, as well as conduct Part 1 professional -second MB examinations.
The varsity’s image-maker said the Vice Chancellor, Professor Ogbonnaya Onwudike, applauded the Council for the approval and accreditation. He noted that the milestone called for more work as the approval was just one of many accreditation visits to be embarked upon by the Council.
