Medical students in Nigeria have been mandated by the National Universities Commission to spend eleven years in the university.
According
to the Punch, this mandate was made during the lecture “Development of
Medical Education: Prospects and Challenges”, presented by Professor Chiedu Mafiana on behalf of the commission’s Executive Secretary Professor Julius Okojie at the maiden matriculation and inauguration of the University of Medical Science, Ondo State.
He
explained that the first four years will be spent studying basic
sciences in the university while the next seven years will be spent at
the medical school. This, he maintained, would aid the students’
psychological growth and prepare them for the future.
The Governor of Ondo State Olusegun Mimiko was
also in attendance and while expressing his optimism about the school,
he stated that the university should make the most of the medical
complex around the institution in conducting medical research.
He
affirmed, “It is our hope and belief that it will provide sound
scientific, technological and professional training to address
identified health needs and problems, solve them within the context of
community and national needs and sustainable development.”
