Accra College of Medicine has become a pioneer private medical college in the region. How do you see your journey from since your inception in 2015?
So far it has been a glorious journey. At present, Accra College of Medicine is providing of world-class medical education and moving towards the realization of its mission to produce graduates who are committed to excellence and have “heart power”.
The quality of university education in Ghana is high, the availability of facilities to support students’ learning experience, well-educated Faculty, certifications from universities in Ghana are highly recognized in the world; which is necessary when seeking future postgraduate studies and employment.
Yes! This means of making a decision for pursing higher education may have worked for a few, it has not for most. Thus, to prospective students I would want to advise that you let the choice of a university and program of study be guided by your aspirations and dreams, for in this will you find fulfilment in life.
“Knowledge is power” and UNIAfrica.net is empowering young adults and other education stakeholders by providing them with key information which has to do with this major area of their lives (education) So far, I think they are doing well, thumbs up to the team.

We aim to contribute towards improving the doctor to patient ratio in Ghana and Africa by graduating 60 doctors per year. We are increasing Faculty and staff strength, embracing continually innovations to improve medical education, expanding our campus and facilities. These among others are some notable advances ACM will continue to see in the future.
Our pioneer class of students will graduate in 2020, a milestone we look forward to. The journey ahead is long but obviously a great one as we strive to be the lead provider of medical education in Ghana and Africa for the next century and beyond.
With more African students opting to pursue their university education within the continent, do you think that ACM is aptly placed as a truly pan African University? Can you share some interesting facts about your university which will excite our readers?

Absolutely! Our world-class facilities give our students first-hand experience in advanced medical practices necessary to deal with a broad diversity of patients and diseases. With over 60 preclinical and clinical sciences Faculty and counting; ACM Faculty members are talented and committed to educating the next generation of physicians.
Again, our Faculty are both local and international professors of repute. At ACM, our small class sizes coupled with our high Faculty-to-student ratio provides effective teaching and learning and lasting professional relationships. Our visionary curriculum prepares ACM students for the challenges of patient care.
Medical education at ACM also aims to produce medical doctors who are ethical, professional, and appreciative of humanity and the art and culture of people. Additional courses such as Health Care Management, Medical Entrepreneurship, Community Volunteering, Nursing and Heart Power empower these students to face whatever challenges the world will throw at them. So to all prospective medical students who seek a modern medical education, The Accra College of Medicine is truly the University for you.
Regional education hubs not only attract a share of the global population of mobile students but are becoming favored destinations for students within regions. What do you feel are some of the factors maintaining Ghana as a favoured destination for higher education in Africa?

Most alumni of Ghanaian universities have held or hold coveted positions in health care, industry, education and research around the world. Ghana as a country is peaceful for academic studies, the culture here is easy and welcoming of foreigners and it is easy for most people abroad to fit in. Students will get all the hands on experience needed here.
Do you agree that most often students choose universities and courses based upon other’s preferences, be it following the peers, accepting choices made by parents, influence by media or just following the current trends. What advice you would like to offer to students and the parents who wish to pursue their higher education in Ghana?

Dear supportive parents, recognize your wards’ potentials and direct them accordingly as they take this giant step. To both groups I would urge you or nay proxies living in Ghana to personally visit the campus at East Legon to see things for yourselves.
Students usually find it difficult to get information about universities for admission in other countries. How do you feel UniAfrica.net is helping to bridge this student university information gap?
