What Our Clients Say About
Our Leaders
“It was a wonderful experience teaching the future anaesthesiologists. As a teacher, you also need to update your knowledge, read, stay with the new doctors and put them through, as well as correct them. You also want to be careful not to be discouraging. It is great to see those who came with zero knowledge of anaesthesia become confident providers and working independently within 6 months. Our program is immersive. Sometimes in our morning reviews, they ask interesting questions that challenge us to go back and read! Our knowledge base keeps increasing, and our interactions are great. I am challenged to do more because various stakeholders are interested in our programme. It is amazing what we can achieve in few months. Work-based, brain-based learning is worthwhile.
“Anaesthesia has been really interesting. The knowledge of anaesthesia is broad; it makes you know a little about everything. And then your confidence level as a doctor definitely comes up and you are not like when you are just a medical officer. Our trainers were interested in us beyond the training…They were more like big brothers; they infused teaching with jokes in between and that made everybody to relax. Concerning the community spirit, everybody (the whole team at FMC, Abuja) was following you up and making sure you study.
