Outspan Medical College students have extensively engaged themselves in community activity. The purpose of this assignation is to interrelate and dole out the community in all welfares at large. This is based on the reality that, the College isn’t only based on the students’ interest but also the general community at large.

Through the students’ governance and the administration, they have created sky-crapping bustles which have made a difference in the community. They have widely participated in activities such as;
