The Federal Government has decried the poor performance of foreign trained medical and dental graduates at the assessment of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN). Prof. Isaac Adewole, Minister of Health, disclosed this in Abuja on Thursday at the induction of 243 successful medical doctors and six dental graduates that participated at the remedial course and assessment.
The examination was conducted at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH). It is aimed at ensuring that the standard of training obtained abroad by candidates measured up to the standard of training in Nigeria.
Adewole expressed worry that of the 686 medical and 10 dental candidates who took the examination, only 249 were successful.
He, however, urged parents to be mindful of the kind of institutions they send their children or wards for medical training, adding that majority of those institutions were not listed in the world directory of medical training.

GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

They should equip our own schooling system and see the best come out of us instead of sending student abroad to go relax and enjoy the white man's land instead of study.....
