The Medical and Dental Council
of Nigeria (MDCN) recently
declared that no foreign trained
doctor will be allowed to practise
in Nigeria from October, 2012
except showing evidence that he
or she could have practised in
the country of study.
The Acting Registrar of MDCN,
Dr. Udugbai Ilevbare disclosed
this in Abuja yesterday during
the induction ceremony of 103
foreign trained medical and
dental graduates.
According to him, they must
show evidence from the health
regulatory bodies in their
countries of training that they are
registerable and could have
worked there.
He also said that such graduates
from October 2012 must sit for
and pass the MDCN Assessment
Examination to be eligible to
practise in Nigeria.
He said: “May I at this point
inform you all that beginning
from October 2012 Assessment
Examination, foreign medical
graduates must show evidence
from the heath regulatory
bodies of the countries where
they were trained that they are
registrable and could have
practised in those countries if
they had wanted to do so.
”What it means is that if those
who trained you as doctors
permit or allow you to treat
them as patients, we can also
allow you to treat us without
fear.”

there has always been assessment examination for foreign trained Drs before being allowed to practise in Nigeria.... So what evidence are dey askn for again
