NUC- Medical Students Will spend 7 not 11 Years
Medical Students received some good news. The National Universities Commission (NUC) has discredited the reports that students of medicine 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.
This was earlier reported: Medical Students to Spend 11 years
“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, Bachelor of 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.”
