About the Faculty
Bayelsa Medical University's Faculty of Health Sciences delivers cutting-edge education in Nursing Science, Medical Laboratory Science, and Public Health through innovative, technology-driven programmes. We pioneer immersive learning with Nigeria's first VR nursing simulations, AI diagnostics training, and drone-assisted public health mapping – equipping students with both foundational expertise and future-ready skills in digital healthcare solutions. Our curriculum emphasizes hands-on experience, dedicating 72% of training to practical sessions using advanced equipment like molecular testing tools and robotic patient care simulators.
Beyond technical mastery, we cultivate healthcare innovators through unique industry partnerships and an entrepreneurship incubator. Students gain real-world experience via guaranteed hospital placements while developing solutions for Nigeria's pressing health challenges. Our graduates stand out with dual qualifications – their professional degrees plus certified training in emerging health technologies like blockchain applications and AI diagnostics.
We're redefining health sciences education by merging academic rigor with technological innovation. From tropical disease research to community health interventions, our programmes produce professionals who don't just join the healthcare sector – but transform it with their expertise in both traditional practice and digital advancements. This is where Nigeria's next generation of healthcare leaders begins their journey.
