MDCN Sets Deadline For Housemanship
The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria has directed newly qualified medical graduates to complete their compulsory housemanship within two years of registration.
The move is aimed at tightening professional standards and ensuring timely training.
The council said any graduate who fails to meet the deadline will be required to undergo a compulsory competency assessment before being allowed to continue in practice.
This step is intended to confirm their readiness and clinical ability.
Housemanship is a key stage in medical training, where fresh graduates gain practical experience under supervision.
The directive places more responsibility on young doctors to complete the process without delay.
The decision is expected to affect many new graduates across the country, as authorities seek to improve the quality of medical practice and maintain discipline within the profession.
