Details of Teaching Experience at University Level 

As a Senior House Officer/Registrar in the Department of Paediatrics, University College Hospital,  Ibadan, Nigeria, my duties included teaching of the University Medical Students both on the wards and the outpatient department.

As a Senior Registrar in the Department of Paediatrics, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, my duties included ward teachings and organising seminars for the University Medical Students.  During this period, I was in various specialised clinics (Nephrology, Neurology and Neonatology).  I also taught medical students in the clinics.

My duties as a Senior Registrar at the University College Hospital, Ibadan also included teaching of postgraduate students.

I currently lecture the University Medical Students in Paediatric Nephrology.  I also teach postgraduate students.  Since being appointed a lecturer in 1991, I have been giving four two-hour formal lectures to medical students almost every two months.  I conduct two 3-4 hour teaching clinics per week, one nephrology clinic and one general clinic.  I give two bedside teaching sessions to medical students per week.

Until recently, I was conducting ward rounds from time to time in the 28-bed Children’s Emergency Ward where undergraduate and postgraduate students are taught. Additionally  I conduct one and one-half hour Grand Rounds (undergraduate and postgraduate students) and two hour Social Paediatrics Seminars for medical students approximately every two months.

I also teach Paediatric Nephrology at the Update courses of the West African Postgraduate Medical College.
