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 explained that, 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"
