Looking beyond the pictures of UNCOMAA- USA HALL

Pictures are worth more than a thousand words indeed and this is because most pictures holds greater explanation than what just meets the eyes.

Taking pictures isn't an easy task for me, maybe it's because I am not that much of the camera type , but then, for this prompt, I've got to get something up there.

I thought deep about what exactly to snap and there were a lot of options but then, I needed to get a picture of what connects immensely to my daily activities and that's no other picture other than this:

Yep, it's as you thought...
This is the picture of my classroom, the citadel of learning and the citadel where we are formed.

About The Picture

Following the relocation of the final year medical students to University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku-Ozalla, Nigeria, there was no class at all and even the only available one that was used by the Resident doctors could not contain the final year medical students.

This brought about the constant clash of schedule between the Resident doctors and students' leading to the plea by the University administration to the Alumninaries of the faculty to come to the aid of their Junior colleagues, they answered and then that brought about the building you see in the picture and was commissioned in March, 2013.

This is the reason why the classroom is named after them, UNCOMAA-USA which means University of Nigeria College of Medicine Alumni Association, USA branch.

It's decorated with pillar to pillar speakers and projectors with projector screens to make learning easier by audiovisual means.

More importantly, it's a classroom that has a quality Inverter battery helping us study even amidst shortage of power supplies by providing us with electricity.

It's also the venue for all our written examinations, lol.

What UNCOMAA-USA Hall Means To Me

Just as what the hoe means to a farmer, so does this class mean to me.
It's a place I have to visit almost all year round as everything dealing with my formative stage in my chosen career gets more intense from there.

This classroom isn't just a classroom to us but then, it signifies a rank in our school. This is a classroom you could only use when you've entered the clinical classes so to say that you can be a medical student and yet can't access this class until you reach a certain level in your training and that's the clinical classes.

The good thing about reaching the clinical classes is that it's a point in your training where you can't be withdrawn again from your medical training... It's just a matter of time before you become the doctor you so much desire.

How Important Could UNCOMAA-USA Hall Be To Me

At the end, it's the last place I'll also bid farewell signifying the end of my undergraduate training; this is because this same classroom is also the venue for our induction and oath taking into the medical profession.
It's the last place we long to visit last for this purpose.

What do you think about the classroom?
