UG offered Shadrach Biological Sciences which could have led him into Medicine depending on his performance after the first year whilst UCC gave him Nursing.
"So I 'settled' for Nursing at UCC. But in Nursing School I made a resolution: to be the best nurse possible" Shadrach recalls.
Subsequently, Shadrach graduated top of his class and won a Commonwealth Scholarship to pursue a Master of Public Health at Glasgow after his national service.
Right after the master's degree, the young man who graduated top of his class again won another Commonwealth Scholarship for a PhD Public Health and graduated at age 28.
