Call an MDCAN Meeting, Ph.D should not be a criterion for progression. NPMCN and WACP/WACS should award masters and Ph.D, not universities. We should call ours MD, not Ph.D.

I disagree with railroading Fellows to do PhDs because it adds no additional value to the clinical teachers teaching ability. It appears to simply be a way of downgrading the Fellowship.

I hereby sign this petition as it is consistent with my belief that PhD should be optional for a fellowship holder.

Medical Doctors should not be forced to acquire PhD for academic progression and /or as a condition to hold any position in the University.

I am completely opposed to the unholy attempt by the NUC and her co-travellers to lower the laid standard of medical education and CLINICAL practice in Nigeria.

The rigor of the fellowship exams prepares successful fellows well enough for lecturing and clinical work. It's well known that to succeed, fellows must deliver world class research. An attestation to this is that such research works are published almost without fail in top journals. The question now is, will this add anything apart from the PHD degree to what exists presently? Will the new sets of resident doctors be trained in a different way?
