The Department of Community Medicine is one of the founding Departments of the College of Health Sciences (CHS) since its inception in 2007. The goal of this Department is to contribute to the vision and mission of Osun State University through qualitative and excellent teaching, training and research in Public health.

The Department presently has Dr Adebimpe Wasiu Olalekan as the Acting Head. There are four other lecturers as well as other administrative staff. The Department was part of the good news of full accreditation obtained by the CHS by Nigerian Universities Commission, and the partial accreditation obtained from Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).

The Department gives Introductory Public Health lectures for 200 and 300 level medical students since inception. Students are taken through lectures, demonstrations and field visits. Our 300 level medical students are routinely taken to Ede water works, Osun sate school for the handicapped and abattoirs for visitations.

Each medical student has 3 logbooks for evaluation and teaching;

1. Attendance logbook or evaluation booklet
2. Museum manual
3. Laboratory manual

In 2014 January, the Department passed then NUC re4source verification of the BSc Public Health programme. It is expected that students of BSc Public Health would be admitted into 100 level through JAMB. The Department is also working on submitting a proposal for BSc Environmental Health Sciences to the Senate of the University with the hope of having the NUC resource verification of the programme before the end of June 2014 and subsequent admission of students this year.

Some of our Departmental resources include;

1. A well stocked Public Health museum (recently adjudged to be the best in Nigeria by MDCN accreditation team)
2. A Public Health teaching laboratory with all required accessories, microscopes, reagents among others. The MDCN team was surprised to see 20 new and functional binocular microscopes in a PH laboratory run by a medical school
3. Public Health research laboratory
4. A 30 seater bus to transport students
5. A 4 wheel drive (jeep) for movement to rural areas
6. A data analysis room
7. Seminar room
8. A Public Health demonstration room
9. Adequate and well furnished space for departmental and lecturers office
10. A Departmental side library including an electronic library
11. Multimedia projectors, Public address system and computer sets

The Department has 3 Public Health practising centers for now. These include the rural practice center at Alajue health center, and the urban practice centers at Isale Agbara and Atelewo comprehensive health centers. Our outreaches to Obokun local government, Alajue community and Ipetu-Ile to mention a few are some of the evidence to show that we are linked and in contact touch with communities in the Osun state, and not leaving out our immediate community. The Department also enjoys good working relationship with other departments under CHS.

We currently undertake some departmental level research (ongoing) with focus on

1. Female genital cuttings
2. Diabetes mellitus
3. Antimicrobial resistance

The future is bright. We are well positioned to commence clinical work soonest. The Department also proposes to commence diploma programmes in Public Health, Masters Degree in Public Health and Short tern training in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Management of Public Health programmes. The department is currently working on having a Center for Public Health Education and Research (CEPHER) and an Institute of Public Health under the College of Health Sciences.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Osun State University Advancement Webpage.

Osun State University Advancement Office is established to seek the support of stakeholders (Philanthropists, Alumni, Companies, Organizations, Foundations, Government Agencies, Royal Fathers, Community Leaders, Parents, Staff, Students and the general public) both within and outside the country to enhance the quality of academic and research works with a view to building stronger relationships and fruitful partnerships with donors/investors which would translate into a broad support base for the sustainable growth of the Osun State University.

There is no gainsaying the fact that Governments (both at the Federal and State levels) can no longer effectively fund education in Nigeria due to the dwindling national resources. The Advancement Office is therefore established to source additional funds from corporate and individual sources.

PROJECT AT HAND
The Advancement Board is currently handling the construction of the dualisation of the 1.2km access road to the University.

STRATEGIC PLAN

The Strategic Plans/Projections of the Advancement are to:

• create a dynamic content management system website solution for the Alumni and Advancement Office that can provide the necessary platform for alumni members to register, update their records with features such as: Social Stream, User Profile Management, Photo and Video Gallery, Events Manager, User Groups, Privacy Control, Private Messaging System and Facebook Connect as well as a platform for online donations from parents, staff, Alumni, private, public sectors and agencies both within and outside country.
• make frantic efforts to raise 200,000 friends who can support the institution, on yearly basis, with a minimum donation of five thousand naira (N5,000.00) that will yield one billion naira (N1 billion).
• promote staff giving, encourage students giving and parents giving
• regular publication and circulation of Alumni Newsletters, of e-bulletin

GIVING TO OSUN STATE UNIVERSITY

 Every gift matters, no matter its size. You giving could be in the form of Gifts, Alumni Giving, Special Annual Giving, endowment, capital giving, foundation giving, parents giving, staff giving, students giving and/or be a participant and join friends of the University fund scheme. Your gift, in the form and for the purpose you choose, will play a crucial role in the progress and continuing success of the University. Your donation(s) will help the University:

(a) to fulfil its core academic mission of teaching and research and in the spirit of making UNIOSUN globally relevant;
(b) to attract and retain top faculties and researchers;
(c) to expand its facilities and thereby providing access to youths;
(d) to upgrade infrastructural facilities, and
