BOX 1410 MBARARA-UGANDA Tel: +256-485 660 584 Email: [email protected] Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) has distinguished herself as a higher education center of excellence in the region over the years through offering innovative programs that are administered by world-class professors and producing groundbreaking research. Our small student numbers allows for a closer interaction between the professors and the students. MUST has grown from a single faculty to five faculties and three institutes offering programs tailored for the market in the medical sciences, natural sciences with education, computing and informatics sciences, engineering, social sciences and business and management sciences at certificate, diploma bachelors, masters and PhD levels. The Community Based Education (CBE) approach, pioneered in Uganda by MUST, has helped MUST develop curricula which facilitates the interaction between the local communities, professors and students, to make them more directed towards the prevailing and emerging socioeconomic challenges within Uganda and beyond. This approach has enabled MUST gain global recognition as the best medical school in Uganda. MUST offers a multicultural environment that nurtures critical and progressive thinkers, intertwining learning and living together through various extracurricular activities such as sports and games, forums, professional students’ associations, cultural galas, etc that add to the unique tradition and experience of being a student at MUST .

  • High Prevalence of Tuberculosis Infection Among Medical Students In
    Mugerwa et al. Archives of Public Health 2013, 71:7 http://www.archpublichealth.com/content/71/1/7 ARCHIVES OF PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCH Open Access High Prevalence of tuberculosis infection among medical students in Makerere University, Kampala: results of a cross sectional study Henry Mugerwa1*, Denis K Byarugaba2, Simon Mpooya1, Penelope Miremba1, Joan N Kalyango1,3, Charles Karamagi1 and Achilles Katamba1 Abstract Background: Uganda’s Ministry of Health registered a 12% increase in new Tuberculosis (TB) cases between 2001 and 2005. Of these, 20% were from Kampala district and most from Mulago national referral hospital where the largest and the oldest medical school is found. Medical students are likely to have an increased exposure to TB infection due to their training in hospitals compared to other university students. The study compared the prevalence of TB infection and associated factors among undergraduate medical and veterinary students in Makerere University, Uganda. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with 232 medical and 250 veterinary undergraduate students. Socio-demographic and past medical history data was collected using questionnaires. A tuberculin skin test was performed on the volar aspect of the left forearm. An induration ≥10 mm in diameter after 48-72 hrs was considered positive. Logistic regression was used to determine association of independent variables with TB infection. Results: The prevalence of TB infection was higher in medical students (44.8%, 95% C.I= 38.4-51.3%) compared to veterinary students (35.2%, 95% C.I = 29.3-41.1%). The significant predictors of TB infection were: being a medical student (aOR=1.56, 95% CI = 1.05-2.31), male sex (aOR=1.75, 95% CI = 1.17-2.63), history of contact with a confirmed TB case (aOR=1.57, 95% CI = 1.06-2.31) and residing at home (aOR=2.08, 95% CI = 1.20-3.61).

George is a medical exchange student and Dr. Chagpar is a Professor of Surgery at the Yale School of Medicine. 00:41.500 --> 00:48.100 Chagpar So, George, maybe you can tell us the story of how exactly you came here to Yale. 00:48.100 --> 02:48.500 Ssenyange The story dates back 3 years ago when I was in Uganda at Makerere University during my medical school. In my fourth year, we usually have an exchange program with Yale due to collaboration with Mekerere University. I was in Mekerere University and that is the university I used to study in Uganda. During our fourth year, all students are given a chance to go to universities outside Uganda and we have a collaboration with many universities in America and Yale is among them. So, I happened to be interested in Yale because I think it is one of the best in the country, so I decided to apply for Yale.

  • Pediatrics: Makerere University/ Mulago Hospital: Kampala, Uganda
    1 Pediatrics: Makerere University/ Mulago Hospital: Kampala, Uganda When I reflect on my elective experience at Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda, the main things that come to mind are people: my new friends; Ugandan medical students, and other International students also on elective, but also the Ugandan patients, and ALL the people in Uganda! One of the medical students there told me that on average each Ugandan woman will have seven children – and I would be inclined to believe him! But I’m getting ahead of myself … I’ll start at the beginning, last August 2009. My friend and classmate, Aafiah Hamza and I were talking about Med IV and about doing an international elective together. We had both been to Tanzania with the International Health Office after our Med I year and were interested in learning more about International Health and also, admittedly, interested in a little travelling. In talking to other friends who were a year ahead of us in medical school and had been to Uganda, we thought this would be a good fit; we were both interested in infectious disease and tropical medicine, and were excited to return to East Africa! As we talked more about the elective, one of my other friends, Lauren O'Malley, expressed interest in joining us, and later still we discovered that a fourth classmate, Kaila Rudolph, would also be there at the same time, and so our group was set! To set up our elective, we found Makerere University online, and contacted Susan Nassaka Byekwaso, the Education Programme Support Officer for the Faculty of Medicine.
