FUOYE Medical Students Conduct Health Education Outreach in Igogo Community

The Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) College of Medicine's Community Based Learning, Experience and Service (COBLES) programme recently organized a health education outreach in the Igogo community.

The event, held on September 4, 2025, aimed to sensitize community members on key health issues, preventive practices, and lifestyle adjustments that promote overall well-being.

The outreach provided an opportunity for MBBS students to engage directly with community members, sharing knowledge and expertise on various health topics.

The programme offered students valuable practical experience, exposing them to real-life health challenges and enriching their medical training through experiential learning.

The COBLES programme is a flagship community engagement initiative of FUOYE's College of Medicine, designed to prepare medical students to become competent, compassionate, and socially responsible doctors.

The university's commitment to bridging the gap between medical education and the health needs of society is reaffirmed through initiatives like the COBLES programme. By engaging with the community and providing health education, FUOYE's medical students are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to make a positive impact in their future careers [1].
