National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria May-June 2020 Fellowship Examination: An Update


Posted on: Tue 23-06-2020

The lockdown that followed the Corona virus pandemic forced the postponement of the May-June 2020 examination. As the country gradually opens up for business, the college has also started orienting itself to carry out its core functions. Faculty trainings and board meetings have started virtually as have college ad-hoc and statutory committees meetings. The question we have received from our numerous fellows and associate fellows is “When are we scheduling he postponed Fellowship Examinations”? the answer to this question is not just to satisfy curiosity but to get the residents writing the examinations and the faculties prepare. 

New examination dates really depends on the virus and the guidelines from the relevant government committees. Four weeks after the following conditionalities are met the examinations will take place:

  1. Reopening of interstate travel
  2. Reopening of airports 
  3. Derestriction of congregation of up to 50 people

Even when these conditions are met, the college will ensure the basic public health requirements like basic hygiene, social distancing and masks are enforced in the CBT and other examination centers.
