History

The Medical School started as the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Ilorin in 1977 with the appointment of Professor E. H. O. Parry as the foundation Dean under the Vice-Chancellorship of Professor O. O. Akinkugbe, himself a distinguished scholar and an eminent Physician.
The Faculty was, however, upgraded to College of Health Sciences on 1stApril,2004 and this process birthed the current Faculty of Clinical Sciences as one of the two Faculties under the College. Certain fundamental issues were taken into careful consideration in the exercise and a number of guidelines thought to be of great significance and relevance were adopted in preparing the Ilorin Curriculum. The Faculty of Clinical Sciences now has 13 clinical departments and is involved in the Bachelor of Medicine; Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) and Bachelor of Nursing Sciences Programmes. There are postgraduate programmes at Master and PhD levels in the Departments of Epidemiology and Community Health, Paediatrics and Child Health, and Nursing Sciences. The Faculty has grown progressively and now has over 100 academic staff across all clinical departments and Nursing Sciences.
