SGU School of Medicine Hosts Education Agent Workshops in Kenya, Nigeria

The St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine recently hosted an ‘Education Agents Workshop’, bringing together over 62 key recruitment agents for a series of interactive sessions in Kenya and Nigeria.

The workshop was designed to strengthen SGU’s collaboration with recruitment partners in key African markets. 

These agents play a vital role in guiding prospective students through the application process and providing them with essential information about SGU’s Doctor of Medicine programme/tracks to practice medicine in the US or UK.

Interacting with journalists at the event in Lagos, SGU’s Executive Director of International Student Recruitment, David Anthonisz, stated that the workshop underscores the university’s dedication to international collaboration.

“Ensuring that our recruitment partners are well-equipped with in-depth knowledge of SGU’s programme/tracks to better support aspiring medical students in Africa and beyond,” stated Anthonisz. “Beyond building stronger relationships, the event served as a platform for agents and school counsellors to discuss students’ career aspirations, gain deeper insights into SGU, understand MD programme specifics, and explore the admissions process.”

The Chief Executive of LuGold EDC, Lucious Gab-Umoden, said the workshop had been “invaluable in deepening my understanding of SGU’s offerings.”

Gab-Umoden added, With the knowledge gained, I am better prepared to guide aspiring medical students toward a successful academic and professional future.SGU is a centre for academic excellence.
