Mdcn Full Registration Form PDF Details

For professionals joining the medical and dental fields in Nigeria, the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) Full Registration form is a crucial step in the process. This comprehensive document outlines various categories of registration and the associated fees for practitioners at different stages of their career, from provisional to full registration, and even includes provisions for alternative medicine registration. Fees range depending on the type and stage of registration — for instance, full registration costs N10,000 plus additional fees for development levy and practicing licences, with total costs escalating to N38,000 excluding penalties for late registration which vary by the period of delay after qualification. For foreign doctors seeking temporary registration, a detailed set of requirements including a letter of good standing, evidence of previous registration, and payment of fees aligning with a total of N61,100 for the initial process and specific documentation must be met. This form also specifies requirements for provisional registration and additional qualifications, setting a structured pathway for medical and dental practitioners to legitimize their practice within Nigeria. Furthermore, penalties for late payments underscore the council's emphasis on timely compliance, and the exhaustive list of requirements for various registrations ensures that every medical practitioner is well-informed of the prerequisites for legal practice in the region.
