The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) conducted the induction of 74 medical doctors from the Ben Carson College of Health and Medical Sciences at Babcock University in Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State.
Among the newly inducted doctors, 16 achieved distinctions, while two, Dr. Victoria Ibukunoluwa Ishola and Christiana Yewande Maconi, were honored with certificates of excellence for outstanding performance in courses such as Anatomy, Biochemistry, Pathology, Pharmacology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Internal Medicine and Surgery, as well as Physiology. Additionally, they each received a cash prize of N200,000.
Addressing the 8th induction ceremony held at the College of Health and Medical Sciences Auditorium, the President/Vice Chancellor of Babcock University, Prof. Ademola Tayo, reminded the doctors of the challenging yet rewarding nature of their profession, urging them to approach their future endeavors with a sense of accountability to God in serving humanity. He emphasized the importance of building trust with patients through diligent and professional conduct, highlighting the significant impact they can have on lives through their expertise and judgment.
Prof. Tayo also encouraged the new doctors to prioritize Nigeria’s interests and contribute to the country’s development, cautioning against the mass emigration of medical professionals. He stressed the value of the challenges faced by developed nations in achieving their healthcare standards and reminded them to consider the sacrifices made by those nations in attaining their enviable healthcare systems.
“While I may not preach to you that you don’t go for greener pastures, I want to remind you that the nationals of those developed countries went through huge challenges to get their health and other related services into an enviable standard,” he said.
In his remarks, the Provost of the College, Prof. John Sotunsa, urged the doctors to strive for excellence and embrace a life of purposeful contribution, emphasizing the importance of receiving from others and cultivating a strong social network.
He mentioned the significance of diligence and accountability in their professional and personal lives, emphasizing the need to uphold the rules and ethics of the medical profession to ensure success and maintain their licenses.
In his words:
“Life is not only about giving. No one has anything that has not been given to him. No man is an island; the greatest you can be is a peninsula. If you continue to give without receiving, you will become dry, and may burn out. Develop a good social network and your network will sky-rocket. Dwell with diligence and accountability will be your pre-fix and integrity will be your post-fix.”
Furthermore, Dr. Akintomiwa Obisanya, a medical Missionary, emphasized the ministry aspect of their profession, urging the doctors to view their calling as a means to save lives. He commended Babcock University for its preparation of the doctors, advising them to approach their work with dedication and a commitment to service.
The provost, acting on behalf of the MDCN registrar, advised the doctors to adhere strictly to the regulations and ethical standards of the medical field, emphasizing that such compliance would ultimately lead to their exoneration in the face of challenges.
He cautioned that failure to abide by these standards could result in the revocation of their medical licenses if complaints are brought before the council.
“If you stand by the rules, you will succeed, but if anyone feels aggrieved and you are brought before the council for any negative issues, you may lose your licence to practice”
Furthermore, Dr. Akintomiwa Obisanya, a medical missionary, urged the doctors to view their profession as a calling to save lives, noting that Babcock University provides unparalleled preparation for their roles.
