The council also told the doctors that medical practice was a service to humanity, hence the need for them to think of how to contribute to the Nigerian medical system.
“Don’t you think you should give something back to this country? Yes, we don’t have enough doctors, but the ones we have, we should be able to utilise them to the benefit of society. In the Western world, their children are no longer going to school, and they don’t even have the money to train, that’s why they are looking up to the third world to poach, let us be patriotic and think of what we can give to this system.
The MDCN registrar lauded the medical university for the quality training offered the students, saying the UNIMED had the best phantom head laboratory for dental training in Nigeria In his remarks, the Vice Chancellor of the UNIMED, Prof. Adesegun Fatusi said the induction ceremony had a special place not only in the annals of the evolving history of UNIMED but also in the history of health profession education in Nigeria.
“No government-owned university in the history of Nigeria in the last two-to-three decades has produced a set of medical doctors as fast as we have now done in UNIMED even though the COVID-19 pandemic occurred during their studentship and disrupted their clinical posting significantly, although we were able to deploy technology to overcome teaching in non-clinical areas in our university.
“The experiences around us show clearly that we have achieved a feat in producing our first set of inductees in our first eight years. For example, both Osun State and Ekiti State had to close down their medical schools at the initial attempt and only started again many years later. Others like Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso and the University of Abuja took over 10 years of being in school for their first set to finish their training and be inducted.
