One major challenge facing the Nigerian health sector has been intense inter-professional rivalry among the different professionals, leading to frequent strikes and lock-outs. This is now believed to be due to the silo-ed nature of training of health professionals, where each profession develops and applies its training separately, without an attempt to cross fertilize training modules between the different health professions. It is now considered that an integrated approach that brings the training of health professional under one philosophy and strategic vision will largely enable health professionals to focus on the core mission of providing services for the attainment of good health. Through its collaborative approach to program development, planning and implementation, UNIMED will be designed to integrate the training of health professionals, producing graduates that see the health profession as an integral part rather than as antagonistic parts. This indeed, will be a major innovative contribution to human resource development and the fostering of inter-professional harmony in the Nigerian health sector. In summary, UNIMED will be a major tertiary institution in Nigeria that would correct the deficiencies in human resource development for health in Nigeria. It will set a good example for our educational and health care systems to attain the best outcomes and successes comparable to those in more developed parts of the world. The project would be a major legacy of the government and people of Ondo State and a crucial sustainable contribution to social change on youth development and knowledge transfer on health in the region.
