\u201dAs always, our university is committed to partnering with the Medical Dental Council of Nigeria, MDCN, in its current drive to expand access to medical training as a response to mitigating some of those challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201dThere is no gainsaying that the field of medicine is dynamic and ever-evolving. I therefore urge you to embrace the opportunity for continuous learning and growth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
