Upon graduation, students earn an MBBS degree and must complete a one-year housemanship before registering with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), the statutory body regulating medical practice.

Nigeria's healthcare sector continues to demand qualified, skilled doctors across both public and private institutions nationwide.
