(Health Science) from University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) in 1985 and later obtained his M.B.Ch.B. degree from the same Obafemi Awolowo University in 1989. He proceeded to have his residency trainig in general surgery (1992 - 1997) and Plastic Surgery (1997 - 1999). He obtained fellowship of the West African College of Surgeons in 1999 and won the Jide Ajayi Gold Medal awarded for the best result in the West African Subregion at the examination. He had additional training at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA on sponsorship of the American Society for Plastic Surgery, University of California , San Francisco and Shriners Hospital, Boston, Massachussets on sponsorship of American College of Surgeons, University of Chicago, Illinois on MacArthur foundation sponsorship and University of Stellenbosch, Cape Town, South Africa. He had a brief stint as a consultant at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile Ife before joining the University College Hospital /College of Medicine, University of Ibadan where he is currently a Reader. The majority of his research is on wounds, wound healing and the sequelae of wound healing. His clinical interest is on reconstruction of complex wounds and scar management. He has served as the director of Objective Structured Clinical Examination of the Surgery Department for several years, he has also been the President of Nigeria Burn Injuries Society and is currently on the international relations committee of the American College of Surgeon where he serves as a sub-committee chairman. He is a reviewer for many reputable journals and has published over 70 journal articles and book chapters . Completed 1. Trends in Burn Epidemiology in a Nigerian Hospital.- A manuscript of this work has been submitted for publication 2. Use of surgical simulation in medical student training and evaluation - There are two parts to this work. The first is a study evaluating the use of a model of a subcutaneous lump that I personally designed for training medical students and using the model for evaluating their knowledge at examination. It has been used by over 100 participants and the report is being written. A simulator model for another completely different surgical lesion have been designed based on analysis of previous results and have been used successfully for medical students evaluation. My colleagues and I have obtained a patent of this device. In Progress 1. Collaborative Study on Genetic Analysis of Human Disorders: Keloids Formation. - This study was premised on the high prevalence of keloids in Yoruba tribe and the challenges associated with current modalities of management. The aim was to localize a gene that confer susceptibility to keloid formation. So far, we have recruited patients from large Yoruba families with keloids and DNA have been extracted from samples taken from them. Two papers, one based on the process of recruitment and a second reporting the identification of susceptibility gene for familial keloids have been published in high impact international journals. Further analysis is still on-going on the extracts. 2. Evaluation of reliability of Levine swab for microbiological studies in wounds. - The objective of the study is to compare the reliability of Levine method of wound swabbing with that of wound biopsy (Gold Standard) in the identification of microorganisms causing wound infection. Recruited patients are requested to complete a proforma. Wound swab and wound biopsy specimens are taken from the patients and subjected to microbiological analysis. We have recruited about thirty five participants and analysed their specimens. A paper based on preliminary findings have been published. The preliminary findings have led to improvement in the design of the study and this improved design is currently being utilized. Analysis of some results is ongoing 3. Impact of Flap Transfer and Microsurgery Course on Specialist surgical training - My colleagues and I are carrying our a survey of participants at biennial Flap Transfer and Microsurgery Course in order to determine the impact of the course on their practice over the years. The responses received are being evaluated. Preliminary result of this survey was presented at the congress of the American College of Surgeons that held in Boston, Massachusetts in October 2023 SELECTED PUBLICATIONS 1. Ademola S.A. (2015).
