So it’s that time of the year when medical doctors and dentists are gearing up to renew their practicing license.
From past years, this experience have not been a good one. Why?
Most practitioners complain of their inability to connect to the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria server. A notification stating – “The server is currently out of service”, have been reported.
The MDCN authorities have assured practitioners that the experience this year would be better, even as they advise doctors to register now, and avoid late hour rush. This is the major cause of delay witnessed when an attempt is being made to register.
While it is very possible for doctors to make a visit to the council offices, spread across the country, many doctors would never have the time to make this visit and some are constrained by distance to visit the office.
So, here are some proven steps that would guarantee success for your license renewal:
