MDCN Housemanship: How to Register and Apply for Federal Hospital Placements

The Housemanship opportunities under the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) are now open for interested medical and dental practitioners.

This is an important chance for those seeking placements in federal institutions, and all vacancies will be updated on the MDCN portal starting Monday, 7th October 2024.

This opportunity allows qualified practitioners to begin their professional training at federal training hospitals nationwide.

Registration on MDCN Housemanship Portal

Upon receiving a provisional registration certificate during the induction ceremony, it is necessary to create a profile on the Housemanship portal of the MDCN.

This profile gives access to apply for housemanship positions at any of the 43 federal training institutions managed by MDCN.

It is essential not to contact or send application letters to federal institutions or MDCN directly.

This includes communication through proxies, such as parents, as this violates the Centralized Housemanship Placement System.

Such actions may result in a denial of portal access.

Important Details About MDCN Housemanship Placements

This update is specific to the 43 federal hospitals approved for housemanship placements.

Each hospital has a certain number of approved slots for doctors based on training needs.

If the hospital of your choice does not appear on the portal, it means there are no vacancies available at that location.

There are also 70 non-federal hospitals that offer housemanship placements.

Applicants are advised to directly approach these institutions for any available slots.

List of Approved Hospitals for Housemanship

The list of hospitals approved for housemanship under the centralized scheme is available on the MDCN website with a detailed list of approved centres.
