From Last Year -1 • AMA data confirmed that about 950 alumni in the USA • Many are in Academia, Clinical Practice, Research in pharmaceuticals and medical devices, Clinical practiceand Administrators. • Of the 950 alumni, less than 100 have been involved in ICOMAA activities since inception. • General lackadaisical attitude to ICOMAA

Where We Want To Be • Enabling Environment for Alumni to Network, Collaborate and Co-operate with each other • Enabling Environment to help Alumni get directly involved in helping our Alma Mater • Harness the resources of Alumni as one entity to help other alumni and our Alma Mater • Increase membership participation in ICOMAA-NA activities

Potentially a Private Faculty Practice that Alumni can be involved and an Alternative to Oluyoro. • Clinical Stimulation Laboratory – similar to flight stimulator and needed in training medical students. • Contact was made with Johns Hopkins International health for collaboration but there was never a go-ahead from the college
Alumni Visiting Fellowship-1 • Didactic lectures • Clinics • Case Presentations • Bedside teaching • Grand Rounds • Memorandum of understanding yet to be signed by the college despite several attempts
