34 students from the first group of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery classes graduated from Edo State University, marking another significant achievement for the faculty of medicine.
The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria’s Registrar, Dr. Tajudeen Sanusi, conducted the induction and oath-taking ceremony and urged the newly inducted doctors to take their profession seriously.
He noted that the doctors should exercise great compassion in their work and that their call to service was a call to humanity.
This career is like the paramilitary, according to Sanusi; there are many dos and don’ts, and the responsibility involved is greater than the excitement you are experiencing right now. You have to make sure we don’t hurt anyone because we’re dealing with human life.
The registrar, on the other hand, expressed gratitude to the state government for its assistance in establishing the university’s medical school and upgrading the Auchi General Hospital into the Edo State University Teaching Hospital, which the council accredited for housemanship for aspiring physicians.
The event, according to the university’s vice chancellor, Prof. Emmanuel Aluyor, marks a significant turning point in the development of education in Nigeria.
While congratulating the inductees, the VC noted that they were able to finish the demanding programme in record time because of their perseverance, resilience, dedication, unwavering commitment to studies, pursuit of knowledge, and determination to become medical professionals.
None of this would have been possible, he declared, if not for the outstanding professors and instructors who have trained and mentored these students. These students have become capable and caring medical professionals thanks to your enthusiasm for teaching, devotion to your profession, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
“The government’s unwavering commitment to healthcare and education has paved the way for the seamless graduation of these students, and the state-of-the-art facilities provided by the government have created an environment conducive to learning, research, and innovation.”
“The induction of the MBBS class of 2022 reminds us of the immense impact these newly trained doctors will have on society; their knowledge, compassion, and dedication to healing will undoubtedly improve health issues not only in Nigeria, but also around the world.”
