Education and the Ministry of Public Health Yaoundé.
St Louis University Institute of Health and Biomedical Sciences, also referred to as
St Louis Higher Institute of Health and Biomedical sciences in some documents or
simply ST LOUIS, is the reference for excellence and technological transfer in
Cameroon. That is what the Minister of Higher Education says.
St Louis is the path to making your dream a reality. At St Louis, we insist on quality
and character formation. We are strict. If you do not like military styled discipline,
do not come to us. We are particular about examinations ethics as we mold honest
Cameroonians.
We train you for jobs in Cameroon, America and Canada.

thus training job providers and not job seekers.
 Impacting our community and nation in several ways by giving

WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT?
St Louis is grounded in professional education. We teach and train our youths to become
useful and productive as nation builders. We believe that proper grounding in theory and
practical work are essential for the new Cameroonian of today. Vision 2035 starts today
with proper technological and skills training.
Attitude and customer service make all the difference and we pay a greater part of our
attention to building the characters of youth to reflect love, service, empathy and
altruism. Civility is the keyword.
Our products are creative, innovative, love to work in a team and fit into leadership
positions at all times, because working in a team and being tolerant and understanding
others is something they have mastered. They seek to understand others before making
their point. Dealing with others in a win-win arrangement is something they grow to
cherish, live and teach.
Our products are responsible and accountable. They develop a sound sense of
imagination, courage and are proactive. They make judgments based on informed
choices. They are problem solvers and are above all good planners with a keen sense of
time use.
This is what we do at St Louis to get the products that are cherished the world over.
Your son and daughter are in the right place and at the right time doing the right thing
for the right reasons when they study at St Louis. That is success in a package.

In the first year of existence, St Louis admitted 12 students in 2002/2003.
3
The number of females is slightly more than males. The ratio of Anglophones to
Francophones is close to 50:50. However, there are more Anglophones in Nursing and
Medical Laboratory Technology. Francophones are over represented in Dentistry and
Physiotherapy.
So far 3,620 students have registered in St Louis at the diploma level. 452 have
registered at the Bachelor level.
The Ministry of Higher Education and Public Health Yaounde as well as the University
of Buea give us a very high rating amongst our peers.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We help you walk the path that matches your purpose for living. We discover your
passion with you while helping you to trust yourself and others as we make you to
understand the value of work that is well done. We encourage honesty, self discipline,
prayer, the respect of our environment and the cherished win-win mentality in all human
deals.
In Cameroon, we have enough for every ones need but not enough for our collective
greed. St Louis is here to bless. We are the measure of professionalism and are thus
agents of change, growth and transformation. Character is of the essence.
We thank all those hospitals and clinics nationwide who have been helping us with
practical training on the field. We are also grateful to the Minister of Public Health ,
Higher Education and the University of Buea for their support as they monitor the
training and also employ our products.
MINDSET CHANGES:
The Success Principles expounded by Stephen Covey in ‘The 7 HABITS of HIGHLY
EFFECTIVE PEOPLE” and ‘FIRST THINGS FIRST” by the same author are
lessons we love to practice and teach.
PROGRAMS AT ST LOUIS
A) DIPLOMA PROGRAMS:
Higher Professional Diploma = HPD= DSEP. (PHASE ONE.)
We train ‘A’ Level or BACC holders for three years at diploma level in seven disciplines.
These are:
A) Nursing,
B) Midwifery,
C) Physiotherapy,
D) Pharmacy Technology,
E) Medical Lab Sciences,
F) Dental Therapy,
G) Radiology and Ultra-sonography.
4
We strongly recommend midwifery for many of you seeking a profession. There is a
huge shortage in Cameroon in this field and the opportunities to work with the
government in this area are enormous.
B) OUR DEGREE PROGRAMS: (PHASE TWO) B TECH. ( Bachelor
Technology).
You must have a diploma to be admitted in this course for one academic year. Admission
requirements are HPD, HND or DSEP. If you have the SRN or any other diploma from
the Ministry of Health, you will be admitted in the 3rd year of the HPD program. You will
get the HPD and then qualify to be admitted for the one year degree program.

NOTE: For students under the Ministry of Health ticket, all fees and money dues must be
paid in by the 10th of March.
Students who come in under the Ministry of Health do so via a ‘concour’ or
competitive examination.
Their fees ( tuition) are three hundred thousand francs a year (300.000frs/yr).
However, they pay a 50.000frs equipment maintenance fee yearly. The other financial
requirements and obligations are the same like for the others in the diploma course.
Money paid in, is not refundable.
GRADUATION FEES.
This will be a shared cost between the school and students who wish to participate in
such a graduation which is not obligatory. The rentals for the graduation gowns are
separate. The caution money for the gown is usually refunded when the material is
returned intact without blemish.
WHAT IS ON OUR INTRANET?
We are putting up some ebooks, lecture notes, power-point, practical illustrations
and a lot more on this facility.
There would be some journals, research papers, YouTube material Ted Talks and
some video lectures of some capital relevance for the growth of the students.
There would also be material that would beef up the student’s extra curricula
activities, mindset building, business, leadership, management, spiritual growth and
counseling info at the press of a button.
7
GAINING ADMISSION INTO ST LOUIS WITH ‘A’ LEVELS OR BACC.
Take note that you can be admitted directly without a ‘concour’ or through a
‘concour’ as you wish. A ‘concour’ gives you no particular advantage.
ADMISSION CRITERIA FOR FIRST YEAR STUDENTS
All arts students can only study NURSING or MIDWIFERY.
Science students can enroll in any of the seven fields and would be admitted even if
they have just 2 points at the GCE ‘A’ Level.
All ‘Arts’ students must have a minimum of 4 points at the ‘A’ Levels.
We would consider those with 3 points if these include Economics and Geography (social
sciences).
Students who do not pass our examinations as required at the end of the year would be
advised to discontinue.
All transferred cases into higher classes are considered on individual basis.
REQUIREMENTS AT ADMISSION:
Photocopies of ‘A’ Levels or BACC certificates; birth certificate, 2 passport sized
photographs, 5000frs, fill our form.
SPECIAL POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND:
Transcripts and attestations (TO SCHOOLS ONLY). When necessary are sent directly
via express mail services Students and their families at no time are allowed to have
access to transcripts and attestations. These services are paid for. Preparation of HPD
transcript costs 5,000frs. Postage in Cameroon costs 3000frs). Postage abroad costs
40,000frs.
There have been lots of attempts at people producing fake papers and claiming to be
from St Louis. These measures have been put in place to overcome some of these
human difficulties.
We would rather you do not come into St Louis or even withdraw if handing the
transcript to you is of prime importance to you. All these measures are to ensure we
stop fraud.

All students are expected to dress properly just as when they are in St Louis in the event
that they are on field work. This is our corporate branding and the image MUST be
maintained at all times.
All students must be well kempt. The hair must be low and well groomed for boys,
should be neat and well done for all the ladies. We expect low clean finger nails
especially for boys. Ladies know what to do to be neat and smart.

Votre vie, votre avenir, aller à la lune, être efficace et utile pour votre communauté est un

domaine qui les mette en valeur, nous allons atteindre le sommet de ce domaine.» (Ben
Carson)
« La question de savoir d’où nous venons et ce à quoi nous ressemblons est inappropriée.
Si nous reconnaissons nos capacités, si nous sommes prêts à apprendre et à utiliser ce
que nous savons pour aider les autres, nous aurons toujours une place dans le monde.»

ST LOUIS, UN ENDROIT A PART.
NOS FORCES
Notre établissement est construit et géré selon la parole de Dieu. L’amour est notre
maître mot. Nous sommes enracinés comme un arbre sur la parole de Dieu. Nous
craignons Dieu et demeurons en sa présence. C’est la source de notre force, notre
croissance, notre confiance ; notre courage et notre audace s’abreuvent dans la parole et
l’action. Nous vivons simplement la parole.

POURQUOI SOMMES-NOUS DIFFERENTS ?
Professionnalisme, éducation de qualité, formation du caractère, responsabilité et
renforcement des capacités sont les qualités que votre fils ou fille obtiendra à ST LOUIS.
Nous vous remercions de nous faire confiance et de faire partie de l’équipe gagnante.
A ST LOUIS les enseignements sont de haute facture. C’est pourquoi nos produits
défient toute concurrence. Nous sommes bien équipés et nos laboratoires sont parmi les
meilleurs du pays. Notre personnel est hautement qualifié, engagé, dévoué et motivé.
Nous utilisons la sonorisation et les projecteurs dans les amphithéâtres et les cours sont
dispensés sous forme de présentation grâce à Power Point.
Nos programmes d’étude sont construits suivant le système de crédit et reflètent ce qui se
passe sur la scène internationale. Dans nos programmes de soins infirmiers, nous
mettons un accent particulier sur la psychologie, la psychiatrie, la thérapeutique, les
sciences de base et les travaux pratiques. Nous insistons sur le code de bonne conduite,
l’éthique et la déontologie. Les étudiants reçoivent les informations sur la vie et l’état
d’esprit d’entreprise.
Les étudiants de ST LOUIS savent que l’indépendance ou la liberté sont fille d’un travail
acharné qui se décline en discipline, honnêteté intellectuelle, prière, respect de la nature
et responsabilité. Ils savent dire «oui» ou « non » quand c’est nécessaire. N’essayez
surtout pas de les pousser à faire du mal car ils sont pro-vie.
Ils se fixent des objectifs simples, réalistes et réalisables. Ils puisent habituellement au
tréfonds d’eux-mêmes pour rendre service aux autres.
Donner et servir est essentiel à leur bonheur et à leur existence. Ce qu’ils font est
mesurable et limité dans le temps. Le temps est quelque chose que nous devons
apprendre à gérer au Cameroun. Nos étudiants savent comment utiliser l’analyse SWOT
dans la compréhension des problèmes et la recherche des solutions utiles.
Nous les aidons à utiliser le SYSTÈME DE LA PENSEE dans la vie.
ST-LOUIS est ancré dans l’enseignement professionnel dans lequel nous préparons et
formons les jeunes à devenir utiles, productifs et bâtisseurs de la nation.

APPENDIX A
CGFNS, NCLEX-RN.
ARE YOU A FOREIGN NURSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO WORK IN THE
UNITED STATES?
1. I am a nurse. Will I be able to work in the United States?
3. Can I work in the United States if I am not from Canada or Mexico?
4. If I do not fit within any of these classifications, is there any other way to work in
the United States?
2. How can I immigrate as a nurse to the United States?
3. What are the academic or licensure requirements to immigrate to the United
States?
5. How do I begin the permanent residence process?
MESSAGE FROM ST LOUIS TO STUDENTS WHO WANT TO GO TO
AMERICA.
 We are working to create many partnerships and bridges which will allow our St
Louis students to follow this path easily to the USA and work or study.



This opportunity is available ONLY to students who have studied and finished the
fourth year at St Louis. It is the only way we can guarantee the quality, aptitude
and attitudes of the nurses we send abroad. They have to be true ambassadors of
our institution and of Cameroon.
It is our wish that we can train and send many qualified nurses to the USA, as we
take advantage of the many youths we have on our streets. The growing lack of
nurses in the USA, the desire of the youths to train and the understanding that
God makes a way where there is no way for those who trust in HIM.
St Louis cares about youths and their problems. Getting jobs for them, getting
them responsible and starting families is our pride and greatest concerns.
APPENDIX B
From
the
Subject: [Africanhero] The Six Keys to Success" - ADVICE
I
encourage
you
to
by using the word ADVICE to do so.
memorize
these
internet
six
keys
15
1. Attitude
Bloom where you are planted. You have a choice to get back up after temporary setbacks. Attitude is a small thing that makes a big difference!
2. Direction
If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Write your short term
goals down on paper. I have discovered and continue to discover that putting your dreams
and goals down on paper lock in or focus your belief that they can be achieved--even if
you have to take a course correction in achieving your goals. Success comes in cans,
failure comes in can'ts.
3. Values
Explore what is important to you. Maybe it is family, friends, your spirituality or working
hard at any given task. I can assure you that your priorities will change as you grow
older. Very important that you value yourself and treat yourself like the valuable gift
from God that you are.
4. Interests
Birds of a feather flock together. This is to say that if you are hanging around winners or
others with a "can do" mind-set, you'll likely adapt to this same kind of thinking.
Remember--"SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES!
5. Commitment
Feelings may change, commitments do not. "Success is getting up one more time than
you fall." I have often wanted to give up, and then I must think to myself about what the
consequences of giving up will be. Generally, this is more than enough of a motivation to
make us stick to the task at hand even if we don't feel like it. When the task is achieved,
Whow!--IT FEELS GREAT!
6. Encouragement
Be an encourager and comforter to friends that are feeling discouraged. I promise
that you will not regret this as you will be encouraged by one, if not many, when
you are feeling down. Encouragement and love are contagious qualities that can
change the minds of the most stubborn and "hard-to-get-along-with" people you
know. I have seen it happen over and over again.
