The Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme of Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has witnessed a substantial increase in its admission quota from one hundred (100) to two hundred (200), as approved by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).
This information was obtained in a press statement from the University’s Public Relations’ Officer, Ademola Adesoji, on Monday, 12th February, 2024.
Recall that the Council had previously increased the UNIOSUN admission quota for the medicine programme barely a year ago from fifty (50) to one hundred (100) after granting approval for its full accreditation.
In response to this quota increment, the Vice-Chancellor commended the MDCN for its transparency in the evaluation process during the accreditation of medical programmes. He also lauded the Federal government for what he described as a well-conceived policy to address the shortage of doctors in the country.
Expressing his appreciation, the Vice-Chancellor congratulated the University’s stakeholders on this unprecedented growth. He emphasized the institution’s commitment to providing high-quality medical education and contributing significantly to the development of the nation’s healthcare sector.
