Medicine and Surgery is one of the most prestigious courses at the university, offering secured job opportunities in Nigeria and abroad after graduation.
In Nigeria, the course is regulated by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, which is in charge of accreditation of the course at various universities and the profession in general.
It is necessary that this body accredits any school you’re applying to, or you risk not getting a license to practice in Nigeria after your undergraduate studies.
To simplify things, I have compiled a list of all the universities accredited for Medicine and Surgery.
Let me know in the comment if you have any questions or need further assistance. I would love to assist you.
