Comprehensiveness rating: 4 see less

This beginning Yoruba textbook has all of the basic components I would expect: a focus on four skills and functions ranging from greetings and descriptions to planning, shopping, food, clothing, housing, and medical attention, starting with the student in the classroom and extending out to family, friends, celebrities and, in the final chapter, back to university studies.

The text contains ample exercises that can be performed in class or prepared at home, and has a solid introduction to Yoruba phonetics and grammatical structures, as well as an extensive appendix of phonetics exercises focusing on tonality (a particular difficulty for North American students of Yoruba) with audio recordings.

The text is well supported by a companion website, hosted by the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning (a National Language Resource Center). The audio files are easily accessed at this site using a mobile device and the QR codes in the text.

The approach of the textbook is highly immersive, which in early chapters precludes extensive discussion of culture. Later chapters have longer readings and dialogues (as well as monologues) revealing cultural concepts. The text does introduce and practice well cultural behavior norms. I would have liked to have more treatment, early on, of the influence of Yoruba in the world and particularly in the Americas, perhaps accompanying the introductory maps of Yoruba’s geographic heritage and influence, albeit this might conflict with the text’s focus on L2. I was also surprised to see no mention of Wole Soyinka, the 1986 Nobel Laureate for Literature.

Content Accuracy rating: 5

I have a B.A. in French and a Ph.D. in Spanish, and have studied a few other languages along the way, but am not familiar with Yoruba (I am reviewing other aspects of the text). Nonetheless, the number of professional, academic and native collaborators and consultants, within and without the University of Texas at Austin, suggests that the content of the text is very reliable.

Relevance/Longevity rating: 4

Generally speaking, curricula at this level of language study tend to be universal, and are not highly exposed to shifting cultural or political contexts. The text does include some references to celebrities which would necessarily date any textbook, but such references are generally necessary for students beginning to describe people in a new language. These activities are quickly identifiable and can easily be updated in time.

There are a couple of references to and a photo of the author’s school, the University of Texas at Austin, in the final chapter. From a traditional textbook perspective I would say this should be avoided, as it gives the book a sense of being homespun. However, it may be that in the new information sharing communities of Open Educational Resources, textbooks need not be as generic or anonymous as in traditional publishing and perhaps the references to UT give the text authenticity.

Clarity rating: 5

The organization is very clear and, as a beginning text, the language is necessarily simple. The grammar explanations (chapters 1-11 of 12) are given in simple English. The exercise instructions are in Yoruba and very clear English.

Consistency rating: 4

The chapters follow a clear framework, so after a couple of chapters the students (and instructors) will have clear expectations for the material and will be able to find a rhythm. Each chapter begins with a statement of objectives, then vocabulary taken from the chapter’s cultural readings and mono/dialogues, followed by grammar explanations and practice exercises, many of them incorporating the readings and/or monologues or dialogues.

Modularity rating: 4

Some of the chapters of this text would work very well for review or to bolster a non-traditional language program for which one did not want to adopt a complete text, such as a short term study abroad program or in Community Based Learning. Some chapters don’t have sufficient audio files to stand alone very well, but those that do would be easy to use because the book chapters contain all of the exercises and the audio files are free and are inked via QR codes—I found them very easy to use and generally of very good quality.

It is disappointing to see the textbook published with the Creative Commons NoDeriviativeWorks license, preventing others from remixing the text and its resources.

Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 5

The chapters build up in complexity pretty consistently as learners increase their abilities; the cultural readings, monologues and dialogues particularly become more extensive and, as far as I can tell, more revealing of culture. The introduction is excellent, and the final chapter brings students back to the topic of the first chapter (studying), but without presenting any new grammar, therefor it makes and excellent conclusion to the book and I believe gives students a sense of accomplishment as well as an opening to reflect on future academic plans in relation to their language and cultural studies.

The chapters are generally of about 24 pages each, sometimes as short as 16 and sometimes as long as 28, with length corresponding naturally to the type of content presented. I was somewhat disappointed with the irregular distribution of audio files. The introduction and the appendix have many, and the early chapters tend to have a few, but while some of the later chapters had six audio files, others had only one or none.

Interface rating: 3

The number of professional, academic and native collaborators and consultants suggests that the content of the text is very reliable. But there are some issues with the layout that detract from the user experience and lower the perceived value of the text. While these don’t make the text less usable, hopefully they will be addressed in time. Perhaps most notable is the footer identifying the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning and the University of Texas. This seems heavy-handed and gives the book the feel of a user manual. At the moment there isn’t really good control of the white space in the text, with many pages half empty and some totally blank. These are the spaces that a traditional development editor would fill with images and additional cultural notes. Currently the images feel like an odd mix of texture photos, photos, line art and clip art, there are no design elements to tie the visuals together. The photos would also benefit greatly from captions and credits. The text is laid out on 8.5x11” paper, an excellent choice for open resources, but they pages are not well laid out to allow for binding, either three-hole, spiral, or tape.

Grammatical Errors rating: 5

I did not see any grammar errors or errata in the English portions of the book.

Cultural Relevance rating: 4

Yorùbá Yé Mi appears to me to be a respectful and inclusive text, although I would have preferred to see more images of men in the chapter on fashion, and more images of women in the chapter on work. It might also have been nice to see an image of urban housing in the chapter on home.

One of the strengths of Yorùbá Yé Mi is that it is a product of a collaborative effort, under the direction of Dr. Mosadomi, of about twenty academic, student and professional participants, contributors, consultants, and assistants, with the support of the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning. Including the work of students and Fulbright FL Teaching Assistants embodies and important dimension of the Open Ed Resource movement. The accompanying website also curates some student videos that add to the textbook resources.

I believe this is an important addition to the resources available, free or otherwise, for the teaching of Yoruba. The Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition at the University of Minnesota indicates there are 31 college and universities in the U.S. that offer Yoruba courses, yet in search through Faculty Center (facultycenter.net) I was only able to find seven Yoruba textbooks, three of them being out of print and a couple of the remainder being difficult to acquire.

As a certified TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) instructor working professionally since 2016, I became all too familiar with the robotic and outdated methods used to teach foreign languages.

Instead, I'll share proven strategies I've learned that depart from conventional textbook systems. We'll cover actionable steps to get you from beginner to fluency in Yoruba . Best of all, these step-by-step strategies can be done on a self-study basis with excellent online learning resources like Italki .

In this guide, learn how to speak Yoruba like a native in Nigeria on your own schedule at your own pace, without excessive textbooks, school bells, or exams. While the language is completely unrelated to the English language family, you'll still be able to start speaking in no time.

8 Actionable Steps to Learn and Master Yoruba

At Monito, we've researched proven strategies used by modern-day polyglots to acquire languages fast. And after achieving conversational and written fluency in Japanese and passing the second-highest level exam for Japanese after 3 years of self-study, I have also identified common mistakes that you can fix to easily cut time to language fluency by fifty to eighty percent .

Together, these 8 steps will get you on the path to Yoruba fluency without an overreliance on textbooks, language schools, and even teachers:

1. Consider materials, not teachers, as your determining factor

When it comes to learning a foreign language, many students focus solely on finding the perfect teacher to guide them on their language-learning journey. However, it's equally important to consider the quality of teaching materials used at the school, if not more so.

While some may advocate for pure language immersion, we caution against this approach as instructors may fail to explain crucial grammatical and linguistic concepts. Materials in Yoruba that are solely explained in Yoruba by monolingual teachers can actually hinder the speed of your language acquisition.

By prioritizing effective materials, you can better equip yourself with the necessary language skills to navigate real-world situations. Just like having an average cook with a great recipe can still result in a delicious meal, having quality materials with clear and practical examples can lead to successful language acquisition. So, instead of solely relying on finding the perfect teacher, carefully scrutinize the teaching materials as your determining factor in choosing how to learn Yoruba.

2. Choose the right environment for fast progress

In a large class with disinterested students, you may not receive the individualized attention you need to progress effectively. In fact, classes often move as slowly as the slowest student. When choosing a language school, look for:

• low student-to-teacher ratios (less than 10 to 1);
• schools with multiple proficiency levels (15 or more);

These factors ensure that you receive the support and guidance you need to succeed. They also allow for much more tailored instruction.

One of the best resources to solve these problems is the online one-on-one language classroom, Italki . When you select from a library of highly-rated tutors, you'll get the best student-teacher ratio possible: 1 to 1 . Language learning is a process unique to each learner. Some pick up grammatical patterns more easily. Others have better ears for quickly-spoken Yoruba. With online tutors from resources like Italki , you'll get one-on-one guidance that is fully customized to your proficiency level.

3. Find teachers that are descriptive rather than prescriptive

Progress will be faster when you find a teacher who practices vocabulary and grammar based on actual frequency of use, not esoteric grammar in a textbook. Teachers should be able and willing to explain, for example, greetings like "Bawo ni?" (How are you?) instead of “Bẹẹ ni?” (Hello), even though the former is technically informal.

If you made a list of the 100 most commonly written English words and a list of the most commonly spoken English words, the difference would be significant. Yoruba has a very similar distribution. If you want to become functionally fluent in listening and speaking, then you should study the most frequently spoken grammar, which might not be in a textbook.

4. Practice realistic conversation one-on-one

Conversation is learned, not taught.

This point is crucial. While grammar and vocabulary can be learned in a class with materials and teacher guidance, it's easy to get caught up in only studying and not actually practicing speaking. To achieve fluency, you need to make mistakes and speak regularly.

Using conversation rooms and partners on platforms like Italki can help you avoid spending too much time on unnecessary grammar. Instead, focus on learning these few essential verb conjugations :

• First-person singular in the past: Mò n ṣe àìmọ̀ (I was).
• First-person singular in the present: Mò ní (I am).
• First-person singular in the future: Mò n bèèrè (I will be).
• Second-person singular in the past: Ṣe òní (You were).
• Second-person singular in the present: Ṣe ní (You are).
• Second-person singular in the future: Ṣe bèèrè (You will be).

Yoruba language has complex grammatical rules, and the verb forms may change depending on tense, aspect, mood, and the presence of subject pronouns. When you start to build up a vocabulary of verbs, you'll be able to start testing these patterns (and the exceptions) in the real world. Take responsibility to leave the classroom and practice your Yoruba in real-life situations.

To speed up your learning process, start speaking as early as possible. Conversational skills can only be developed in a realistic one-on-one environment where your brain is challenged to keep up with normal speed communication.

5. Learn the correct pronunciation with media you enjoy

When you learn how to listen to the sounds of Yoruba, your listening comprehension will get an immediate boost. If you become familiar with how words should sound and how they should be spelled, you will retain them more easily during vocabulary training.

Grammar and vocabulary acquisition generally takes the most work because you can't expect to absorb words passively. However, if you understand how the language flows and where the sentence breaks are, it can be easier to differentiate between verbs, nouns, prepositions, and other parts of speech .

Personally, when I was learning Japanese, I watched a wide range of media to learn the flow of the language. I watched everything from popular talk shows to news to sumo matches. Don't watch Nigerian Nollywood films just because it's common advice for Yoruba learners. Understand the cadence of Yoruba with whichever media source gives you the most enjoyment.

6. Acquire vocabulary and grammar efficiently

Now it is time for vocabulary and grammar, everyone’s nightmare. We have three principles to actually make this step fun: interest, effectiveness, and efficiency. 

• Interest : Study Yoruba that you will use in the real world that you actually enjoy. If a textbook is teaching you how to understand a Yoruba weather broadcast, you may lose motivation because it is neither catered to your interests nor is it all-that applicable to daily life.
• Efficiency : If you can master just the 100 or 200 most commonly used words in Yoruba, your comprehension of native audio can increase by fifty to eighty percent. As I mentioned before, focus on just mastering the essential verb conjugations for first-person singular and second-person singular in the past, present, and future tenses. This makes up the vast majority of practical language use. While popular apps like Duolingo can help, self-made flashcards are critical tools for learning this content.
• Effective : While learning through Yoruba immersion can have benefits, it has been found that it is actually more effective to comprehend the meaning of the grammar in your own language. While confronting difficult native Yoruba is a good challenge for your brain, it's important to build a strong grammar foundation. Despite popular opinion, this is often best accomplished by having the patterns and mechanics of things explained to you in your mother tongue.

7: Master one thing instead of consuming media widely

Choose media that is just above your level of comprehension to acquire the language effectively. Don't jump into watching a full movie in Yoruba too soon. Look for material that challenges your current level, also called your "zone of proximal development", at each stage of your learning journey. Even if it means mastering short, simple dialogues, this approach can be very effective.

Focus your reading on specific subjects rather than reading widely. Start with one piece of material and work through it systematically, seeking to understand as much as possible. If you come across something you don't understand, rewind or reread until you do. While it may seem counter-intuitive to limit the variety of media, by doing so, you can gain a deep understanding of the grammar and linguistic patterns present in the material.

This knowledge can then be applied to new materials, allowing for greater understanding and retention. Rushing through content to consume as much media as possible may cause you to miss important foundational patterns — leaving you with little substantial progress.

8: Embrace ambiguity and the willingness to make mistakes

When learning a foreign language, it's crucial to have a high tolerance for ambiguity. This means being okay with only understanding around 70-80% of what you hear. Recognize that the last 20-30% required for native fluency will take time and effort to grasp. Even fluent Yoruba speakers don't understand every word they hear on TV or in the newspaper all the time.

As I mentioned earlier, practicing one-on-one conversation is the key to becoming truly fluent after learning from books or tv shows. This is why Italki is one of the best resources to accelerate your learning exponentially.

For other great options to immerse yourself in the language, consider these organizations:

• World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF);
• TrustedHousesitters.

These platforms provide opportunities to live and volunteer in Nigeria in exchange for free rent , allowing you to fully engage with the language and culture.

8 Steps to Learn Yoruba in Summary

If you want to learn and master Yoruba, there are eight actionable steps that we have found to be very effective. While we understand the value of great educators, it is important not to rely solely on them at traditional language schools. Instead, find one-on-one classrooms with teachers who don't always stick to the textbook.

Practice conversing online with native speakers to get used to the intonation of Yoruba. Speaking the language regularly from the very beginning is a proven method for achieving rapid progress. Italki is a reliable platform for language learners who wish to practice their Yoruba skills effectively.

Practising and acquiring practical grammar and focusing on content that challenges your current level is also essential. Finally, don't be afraid to make mistakes, as they are a natural part of learning.

Italki offers 1-on-1 lessons through video chat with certified Yoruba tutors and conversation partners who can provide personalized guidance and feedback. These tutors can help identify areas of improvement, develop customized learning plans, and monitor progress closely.

With numerous tutors to choose from, you can easily find a tutor that matches your specific goals, schedule, and budget. Investing in a few sessions with an Italki tutor can significantly boost your confidence and reach your Yoruba learning goals more efficiently than with traditional language learning apps.

A Yoruba king from the kingdom of Ile-Ife; although last born, he was heir to Oduduwa. According to Yoruba history, he founded Oyo as its first Alaafin at around the year 1300 and one of his children, Eweka I, went on to become the first Oba of the Benin Empire.

The King of Ile-Ife, whose name is generally ascribed to the ancestral dynasties of Yorubaland because he is held by the Yoruba to have been the ancestor of their numerous crowned kings. Following his posthumous deification, he was admitted to the Yoruba pantheon as an aspect of a primordial divinity of the same name.

An ancient Yoruba city in southwestern Nigeria (located in the present-day Osun State) that turned into the first powerful Yoruba kingdom, one of the earliest in Africa south of the Sahara-Sahel. It is regarded as the cultural and spiritual homeland of the Yoruba nation.

Yorubaland: Introduction

Yorubaland is the cultural region of the Yoruba people in West Africa. It spans the modern-day countries of Nigeria, Togo, and Benin. Its pre-modern history is based largely on oral traditions and legends. According to Yoruba religion, Olodumare, the Supreme God, ordered Obatala to create the earth, but on Obatala’s way he found palm wine, which he drank and became intoxicated. Therefore, his younger brother, Oduduwa, took the three items of creation from him, climbed down from the heavens on a chain, and threw a handful of earth on the primordial ocean, then put a cockerel on it so that it would scatter the earth, thus creating the land on which Ile-Ife would be built. On account of his creation of the world, Oduduwa became the ancestor of the first divine king of the Yoruba, while Obatala is believed to have created the first Yoruba people out of clay. The meaning of the word “ ife ” in Yoruba is “expansion.” “Ile-Ife” is therefore in reference to the myth of origin, “The Land of Expansion.”

Evidence suggests that as of the 7th century BCE, the African peoples who lived in Yorubaland were not initially known as the Yoruba, though they shared a common ethnicity and language group. By the 8th century CE, Ile-Ife was already a powerful Yoruba kingdom, one of the earliest in Africa south of the Sahara-Sahel. Almost every Yoruba settlement traces its origin to princes of Ile-Ife. As such, Ife can be regarded as the cultural and spiritual homeland of the Yoruba nation. Archaeologically, the settlement at Ife can be dated to the 4th century BC, with urban structures appearing in the 12th century CE. Until today, the Oòni (or king) of Ife claims direct descent from Oduduwa.

The city was a settlement of substantial size between the 12th and 14th centuries, with houses featuring potsherd pavements. Ile-Ife is known worldwide for its ancient and naturalistic bronze as well as stone and terracotta sculptures, which reached their peak of artistic expression between 1200 and 1400. In the period around 1300 the artists at Ife developed a refined and naturalistic sculptural tradition in terracotta, stone, and copper alloy—copper, brass, and bronze—many of which appear to have been created under the patronage of King Obalufon II, the man who today is identified as the Yoruba patron deity of brass casting, weaving, and regalia. After this period, production declined as political and economic power shifted to the nearby kingdom of Benin, which, like the Yoruba kingdom of Oyo, developed into a major empire.

Bronze head from Ife, probably a king, dated around 1300. Ile-Ife is known worldwide for its ancient and naturalistic bronze, stone, and terracotta sculptures, which reached their peak of artistic expression between 1200 and 1400.

The Rise of the Oyo Empire

The mythical origins of the Oyo Empire lie with Oranyan (also known as Oranmiyan), the second prince of Ile-Ife, who made Oyo his new kingdom and became the first oba  with the title of Alaafin of Oyo (Alaafin means “owner of the palace” in Yoruba). The oral tradition holds that he left all his treasures in Ife and allowed another king, named Adimu, to rule there.

Oranyan was succeeded by Oba Ajaka, but he was deposed because he allowed his sub-chiefs too much independence. Leadership was then conferred upon Ajaka’s brother, Shango, who was later deified as the deity of thunder and lightning. Ajaka was restored after Shango’s death. His successor, Kori, managed to conquer the rest of what later historians would refer to as metropolitan Oyo. The heart of metropolitan Oyo was its capital at Oyo-Ile.

Oyo had grown into a formidable inland power by the end of the 14th century, but it suffered military defeats at the hands of the Nupe led by Tsoede. Sometime around 1535, the Nupe occupied Oyo and forced its ruling dynasty to take refuge in the kingdom of Borgu. The Yoruba of Oyo went through an interregnum of eighty years as an exiled dynasty. However, they re-established Oyo to be more centralized and expansive than ever. During the 17th century, Oyo began a long stretch of growth, becoming a major empire. It never encompassed all Yoruba-speaking people, but it was the most populous kingdom in Yoruba history.

Oyo Empire and surrounding states c. 1700. The Oyo Empire rose through the outstanding organizational skills of the Yoruba, gaining wealth from trade and its powerful cavalry. It was the most politically important state in the region from the mid-17th century to the late 18th century, holding sway not only over most of the other kingdoms in Yorubaland, but also over nearby African states, notably the Fon Kingdom of Dahomey in the modern Republic of Benin to the west.

The Power Of Oyo

The key to Yoruba rebuilding Oyo was a stronger military and a more centralized government. Oba Ofinran succeeded in regaining Oyo’s original territory from the Nupe. A new capital, Oyo-Igboho, was constructed, and the original became known as Old Oyo. The next oba, Eguguojo, conquered nearly all of Yorubaland. Despite a failed attempt to conquer the Benin Empire sometime between 1578 and 1608, Oyo continued to expand. The Yoruba allowed autonomy to the southeast of metropolitan Oyo, where the non-Yoruba areas could act as a buffer between Oyo and Imperial Benin. By the end of the 16th century, the Ewe and Aja states of modern Benin were paying tribute to Oyo.

The reinvigorated Oyo Empire began raiding southward as early as 1682. By the end of its military expansion, its borders would reach to the coast some 200 miles southwest of its capital. At the beginning, the people were concentrated in metropolitan Oyo. With imperial expansion, Oyo reorganized to better manage its vast holdings within and outside Yorubaland. It was divided into four layers defined by relation to the core of the empire. These layers were Metropolitan Oyo, southern Yorubaland, the Egbado Corridor, and Ajaland.

The Oyo Empire developed a highly sophisticated political structure to govern its territorial domains. Scholars have not determined how much of this structure existed prior to the Nupe invasion. Some of Oyo’s institutions are clearly derivative of early accomplishments in Ife. The Oyo Empire was not a hereditary monarchy, nor an absolute one. While the Alaafin of Oyo was supreme overlord of the people, he was not without checks on his power. The Oyo Mesi (seven councilors of the states) and the Yoruba Earth cult known as Ogboni kept the Oba’s power in check. The Oyo Mesi spoke for the politicians while the Ogboni spoke for the people, backed by the power of religion. The power of the Alaafin of Oyo in relation to the Oyo Mesi and Ogboni depended on his personal character and political shrewdness.

Oyo became the southern emporium of the trans-Saharan trade. Exchanges were made in salt, leather, horses, kola nuts, ivory, cloth, and slaves. The Yoruba of metropolitan Oyo were also highly skilled in craft making and iron work. Aside from taxes on trade products coming in and out of the empire, Oyo also became wealthy off the taxes imposed on its tributaries. Oyo’s imperial success made Yoruba a lingua franca almost to the shores of the Volta. Toward the end of the 18th century, the empire acted as a go-between for both the trans-Saharan and trans-Atlantic slave trade. By 1680, the Oyo Empire spanned over 150,000 square kilometers.

In the second half of the 18th century, dynastic intrigues, palace coups, and failed military campaigns began to weaken the Oyo Empire. Recurrent power struggles and resulting periods of interregnum created a vacuum, in which the power of regional commanders rose. As Oyo tore itself apart via political intrigue, its vassals began taking advantage of the situation to press for independence. Some of them succeeded, and Oyo never regained its prominence in the region. It became a protectorate of Great Britain in 1888 before further fragmenting into warring factions. The Oyo state ceased to exist as any sort of power in 1896.

Ground Broken for Medical Education Building at UC Merced

University of California and campus leaders broke ground Tuesday evening on a building to be constructed of steel, glass and Earth-friendly electronics.

But the Medical Education Building at UC Merced is also fashioned from decades of dreams and dedication of those determined to improve health access in the Central Valley.

The building will house its B.S.-to M.D.-pathway, aimed at producing doctors who will serve the local community. It also will house the university’s departments of psychology and public health, the Health Sciences Research Institute and a range of general assignment learning environments.

Related story: Following the Mission to Improve Valley Health Care

Four stories tall and 203,500 square feet, the structure will house instructional, academic office, research and community-facing space and common areas.

“Medical education had long been part of the plan for UC Merced since before we opened our doors to undergraduates in 2005,” Chancellor Juan Sánchez Muñoz said at Tuesday’s event. “It was very much a dream, but one far too long deferred until now.”

The urgency for medical education was driven by the critical lack of health care professionals in the Central Valley, a problem that has only grown since.

“We know from the research literature that medical professionals are far more likely to establish practices in the places where they were educated and undertook their residencies,” Muñoz said. “That is why our new medical education program — known as SJV PRIME PLUS — in partnership with UCSF and USCF-Fresno, is so important to the people and communities of the Central Valley.”

Last fall, UC Merced welcomed its first cohort of SJV PRIME+ students, all recruited from the Valley and committed to their families and their communities. The next cohort will be announced shortly.

One member of the first cohort, Sanmeet Deol, spoke at the groundbreaking.

“On behalf of my fellow classmates in the inaugural B.S.-M.D. pathway, we want you to know how excited we are to be the future doctors of the San Joaquin Valley,” she said. “We are all from the Valley and for the Valley and committed to serving those in need of quality health care in our respective communities throughout the San Joaquin Valley for generations to come.”

We are all from the Valley and for the Valley and committed to serving those in need of quality health care in our respective communities throughout the San Joaquin Valley for generations to come.

UC President Michael Drake said the program for students such as Doel has been “many, many decades in the making.”

Drake said the PRIME program began 20 years ago to train students with special expertise to provide medical care to people from challenging backgrounds. He said these programs have immediate and lasting effects on the campuses and surrounding areas.

“This kind of an impact will last for years.”

Other guests at the groundbreaking included local and state elected officials, donors, members of the medical community and UC representatives. The UC Board of Regents is in the middle of a three-day meeting at UC Merced, the first one held on the Merced campus. Attendees watched a video describing the program, examined a 3D rendering of the building, played health-related games and listened to speakers describe how momentous the event is.

“We are thrilled to see the groundbreaking begin at the new medical education facility at UC Merced,” said Dr. David Rubin, executive vice president of University of California Health. “Today’s groundbreaking ceremony is just the beginning of the opportunities that await future health professionals as they use the pathway programs spanning UC Merced, UCSF, UCSF-Fresno and Central Valley community colleges.

"UC Health is thankful for the years of collaboration with local and state leaders that led to this point, and we look forward to seeing the future physicians that will come through these doors and go on to provide high-quality care in their communities.”

Assemblywoman Esmeralda Soria, who represents the region, said she is the latest in a long line of public officials to support the effort to bring medical education to UC Merced.

“We know this region is one of the fastest-growing, poorest and least healthy,” she said. “We know our area has a longstanding shortage of physicians and other health care professionals. We know that what we are doing today is ensuring to have a better and brighter and healthier future for our entire region.”

The Medical Education Building is the latest advance at a university campus that has grown remarkably in size and stature since its own groundbreaking in October 2002.

“We make history in Merced every day — with every student whose success we propel, with every research project that pushes the bounds of knowledge, with every community engagement project that improves life in the Central Valley and California,” Muñoz said. “Today, we are writing more history — a history of greater education, broader research and more lives improved in the Valley and beyond.”

Department of Labor plans to restructure workplace safety, health regional operations strategically to protect workers

Osha national news release.

May 8, 2024

OSHA creates two regions to reflect changing demographics, population, areas of need

WASHINGTON – The Department of Labor today announced strategic changes to the structure of its Occupational Safety and Health Administration's regional operations designed to direct its resources effectively and make the agency more resilient.

The changes include the creation of a new OSHA regional office in Birmingham, Alabama, overseeing agency operations in the state, and those in Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee as well as the Florida Panhandle. The Birmingham Region will address the area's growing worker population and the hazardous work done by people employed in food processing, construction, heavy manufacturing and chemical processing.

OSHA is also planning to merge Regions 9 and 10 into a new San Francisco Region to improve operations and reduce operating costs.

As part of the changes, the agency will also rename its regions to associate them by geography, rather than its current practice of assigning numbers to regions. As such, the area OSHA calls Region 4 will be renamed the Atlanta Region with jurisdiction over Florida, excluding the Panhandle; Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The current Region 6 will be renamed the Dallas Region and have jurisdiction over workplace safety issues in New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

The composition of OSHA's other regions will remain the same. When completed, the agency's regions will be renamed as follows:

"The changes reflect the nation's demographic and industrial changes since the passage of the OSH Act and will allow our professionals to better respond to the needs of all workers, including those historically underserved," explained Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health Doug Parker. "With a stronger enforcement presence in the South and more consolidated state oversight and whistleblower presence in the West — an area dominated by states that operate their OSHA programs — we can direct our resources where they're needed most."

OSHA plans to fully transition to its new regional structure later in fiscal year 2024. Once implemented, the agency's regional maps and contact information online will be updated publicly.
