Head of Department - Ahmed Kolade OLOYO
I would like to extend a warm welcome from the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, College of Medicine of the University of Lagos.
The Department of Anatomy, which began as the Department of Morphological Sciences, has been in existence since 1962. The Department started its operation, with four members of staff including one lecturer and one technologist under the headship of Prof. W. Haines.
Today, I am proud to say that our staff strength has increased to twenty-nine, among which are fourteen lecturers, nine technical staff, and five administrative staff. I make bold to say that our department continues to grow in leaps and bounds with continuous training and retraining of academic and technical staff and partners with other sister departments to provide quality training to our teeming medical and allied Medical students.
