Degree Contents: (i ) United States Health Care Systems (Organization Theory/Behavior) (ii), Health Services Administration (Ethical and legal perspectives), (iii), Medical Sociology, (iv), Health Policy and Politics, (v), Research Methods, (vi), Human Resource Management (vii), Gerontology, (viii), Labor Relations, (ix), Strategic Management, (x), Health Care Financial Management, (xi), Medical Informatics, (xii), Rural Healthcare Delivery, (xiii), Applied Research Paper/Project.

(b) Employment Utilization: June 2010 - September 2010. Taught at Lakeland College. Taught the topic ' Survey of the United States Health Care System' to undergraduate students.

The courses I taught included, (i) An analysis of the US healthcare system as a distinctive system of healthcare delivery, (ii), Basic Concepts that include Beliefs, Values and Health,(iii), The evolution of health Services in the United States, (iv), System Resources, namely, description and input of various types of professionals that work in the healthcare industry, (v), Medical technology and Terminology, (vi), Health Services financing (Public and Private financing), (vii), Systems Processes, (viii), Inpatient Facilities and Services, (ix), Managed Cared and Integrated Organizations, (x), Long term Care, (xi), Health Services For Special populations, (xii), System Outcomes - Cost, Access and Quality, (xiii), Health Policy and (xiv), System Outlook - The Future Of Health Services Delivery.

I taught students face to face as well as via Internet blackboard

(2). Doctor of Medicine: (i). Pre- Clinical: Ross University School of Medicine, Dominica, South America and St. Matthew's University School of Medicine, Cayman Islands (1999 - 2002). (ii), Clinical: Clinical Clerkships in various hospitals in Chicago, Illinois (2003).

In order to maintain currency in the medical and health services content areas I am actively studying for the US Medical licensure examinations and currently have passed the Step I exaams.

(3) . Ph.D. Biochemical Toxicology, University of Ibadan, Nigeria(1974).

. Bachelor of Science, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria(1967).

. Work Experience.

. University of Wisconsin, Madison:

(a). 1994 - 1999: Associate Researcher, Department of Pharmacology and Center for Environmental Toxicology. I carried out a National Institute's of Health(NIH)- funded research on the regulation of the carcinogen-metabolizing enzyme, namely, CYP1B1 by Protein Ki nase C (PKC) in a breast carcinogenesis. I discovered a dual signaling pathway by which carcinogens are metabolized in prototypic breast cancer cells en route to cell division, a model for breast cancer. A paper concerning this issue was published in a scientific journal. I left this laboratory for the medical School.

(b). 1989 - 1994: Associate Researcher, McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research.

Before I came to this laboratory, a novel tumor-promoter; alcohol-induced metabolite, namely, phosphatidyl ethanol (PET) had been discovered in lymphocytes. My task was to uncover the influence of other biological factors that could modify this process. Accordingly, I researched into the effects of various steroids on the synthesis and metabolism of PET in lymphocytes. My research disclosed that a new modified metabolite was derived from PET under the influence of certain steroid hormones. This new metabolite (PETd),probably under genetic control, was significant to the revelation that alcoholism, as well as its effect on cancer may be controlled by genetic factors. A paper was published in a scientific journal.

. University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, MS.

(a). 1986 - 1988: Post doctoral Research Associate, Department of Microbiology and Virology.

In this setting, I employed leukemic cells to develop a translational that can be used to translate various forms of mRNA as a tool for the study of the molecular biology of cells.

(b). 1984 - 1986: John E. Fogarty Fellow, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology

I conducted research to unveil the biochemical mechanism by which the pesticide chlordecone(CH) interacts with the lipid peroxidation compound, Carbon Tetrachloride(CCl4) that results in enhanced toxicity in animal tissues. I discovered that both unscheduled and scheduled DNA synthesis form significant aspects of this mechanism.

. University of Ibadan, Nigeria:I was a Senior lecturer and a researcher as well in biochemistry in this University. I taught both the human medical biochemistry and veterinary biochemistry to the appropriate students.

Administrative Experience: As a Senior lecturer in Biochemistry, I administratively coordinated teaching and research between the Veterinary medical and human medical departments. I reconciled the different agendas, set up the course of study, sequence of courses and presented budget to the human medical department for approval. Ensuring collaboration between both departments.

(4). Honors and Awards:

(i): Minority Investigator Award from the Cancer Research Institute of the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (1994 - 1999). I was also administratively in charge of the financial disbursement of this grant.

(ii): John E. Fogarty Fellowship from the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda MD (1984 - 1985).

(iii): International Agency For Research On Cancer, Leon, France (1982 - 1984).

(iv): International Cancer Technology Transfer from the International Union Against

Cancer (UICC), based in Switzerland (1979 - 1980).

(5). Publications: Complete list available.

(6). Computer Literacy: Microsoft Office - Word Processing; Spreadsheet; Some Microsoft Excel 2007.

(6).Professional Societies:

. American Medical Association - Member.

. American Association for the advancement of Science (AAAS) - Member.
