Nursing Studies: UHAS Launches MPHIL Program

A Master of Philosophy (MPHIL) program in nursing studies has been introduced by the University for Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) for its School of Nursing and Midwifery (SONAM).

The nation’s premier health training institution has been in operation for ten years before launching the two-year program.

At the program’s introduction, Vice-Chancellor (V/C) Professor Lydia Aziato complimented the faculty and students on their accomplishment and noted that building the University’s research facade had taken a lot of work and effort.

She argued that research publishing should be taken into account as a means of increasing impact in the area and urged that it be strongly incorporated into the program framework.

Moreover, the vice chancellor also emphasized the importance of providing students with instruction in ICT use for research, data analysis, and other academic tasks and urged them to make good use of the internet for the program.

Also, Prof. Aziato advised students to seek collaboration in order to strengthen and widen their research bases, and he entrusted the School with working to give students placement possibilities both domestically and abroad.

The program will be given the necessary assistance to succeed, the VC promised the pioneering cohort, urging independent research and unique works to be the program’s defining characteristics.

It was a “momentous occasion” that marked a historic trip for the University, according to Prof. Ernestina Donkor, Ag. Dean of the School, and it was a prize for everyone who helped with the endeavor.

“This program was a labor of love for the SONAM faculty and me, who toiled assiduously to realize this vision.

Building a program to aid in the training of nursing and midwifery researchers and add to the corpus of knowledge in these professions was our aim. We are pleased to have accomplished this goal with the assistance of the University,” she said.
