Mandatory Medical Education Regulatory & Delivery Boundary Notice
- PAMCET delivers comprehensive online theoretical curricula, interactive video lectures, chapter quizzes, digitized cadaveric/histological atlases, simulated clinical reasoning modules, and evidence-based medicine case discussions.
- Formative assessment tools, question banks, and simulated OSCE stations are provided for academic mastery, classroom supplementation, and examination readiness.
- MBBS is a high-stakes clinical discipline requiring physical cadaveric dissection, direct human patient bedside contact, invasive procedural skill mastery, and continuous hospital ward clerkships.
- Online completion of PAMCET course modules does NOT confer a statutory license to practice medicine and surgery, nor does it replace the mandatory physical clinical clerkships required by accredited medical schools.
- Statutory registration, provisional housemanship licensure, and permanent medical practice in Nigeria are strictly governed by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) under the Medical and Dental Practitioners Act, requiring physical graduation from an accredited teaching hospital.
