The Primary Medical Qualification (PMQ) awarded by the Gregory University Uturu (GUU), College of Medicine and Health Sciences is now said to meet the General Medical Council’s (GMC) criteria for an acceptable overseas qualification.
A statement from the University and signed by its public relations officer (PRO), Ekemini Udoh said the development was confirmed following a thorough assessment of evidence by the GMC, UK, regarding the acceptability of the PMQ awarded by GUU.
The statement quoting the General Medical Council (GMC), UK said: “We have completed our assessment, and I am pleased to inform you that the PMQ awarded by your institution currently meets the GMC’s criteria for an acceptable overseas qualification.
“This means that any doctor awarded a Primary Medical Qualification from Gregory University Uturu will be able to apply to sit the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) Test and for GMC registration without having their qualification individually assessed.”
The statement equally quoted the Provost of Gregory University Uturu College of Medicine as saying the feat was an addition to the earlier privilege granted to GUU by Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates ECFMG (US and Canada) to write United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) in the school.
The Provost expressed his gratitude to the founder, Professor Gregory Ibe, the university administration, and the college staff for their support and dedication.
