The National Universities Commission (NUC) has
discredited the reports that medical students in
Nigerian universities would henceforth study for 11
years before obtaining an MBBS degree.
This was disclosed by the NUC Executive
Secretary, Prof. Julius Okojie, in Abuja,
According to him, the new Benchmark Minimum
Academic Standard (BMAS) for Medicine and
Dentistry, which had since been made public by
commission, only provides for a seven-year
training, leading to the award of MBBS/MDS.
“A seven year MBBS programme that encompass a
seamless four- year acquisition of the B.SC. Basic
Medical Science with interest in either Anatomy/
Physiology/Biochemistry."
“At the end of seven years, students would have
acquired the Bachelor of Medical Science,
Bachelorof Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery
degrees. In case of dental programmes, students
would have acquired a degree in Basic Dental
Sciences and Bachelor of Dental Surgery."
