The National Postgraduate Medical Colleges of Nigeria (NPMCN) have lamented the low turnout of medical students in their 2022 fellowship programs.
The College issued a memo disclosing that only four centers across the country will be used for the computer-based postgraduate fellowship examinations scheduled for September.
The memo issued by Oyenike Ekekezie, the deputy registrar of the college blamed the shrinking of the examination centers on a “marked decline” in applications for the fellowship and advised candidates who had chosen centers aside from Lagos, Abuja, Enugu, and Kano to alternate it.
The memo reads;
“As a result of the marked decline in applications for the Primary and Part I Fellowship Examinations, ONLY ABUJA, KANO, LAGOS AND ENUGU centers will be used for the September 2022 CBT examinations,” the memo reads.
“Primary CBT Examinations: Wednesday 21st September 2022, Part I CBT Examinations: Thursday 22nd September 2022.
“Therefore, candidates who had selected other centers for the September 2022 CBT examinations are to send ALTERNATE Centers from the four (4) above by email to [email protected] copy [email protected], copy [email protected].
“Email to be sent before 12midday of Friday 2nd September 2022, clearly stating Name, Faculty, Part of examination and Alternate center.”
