Evaluation the current role of Nigerian medical schools in the training of medical graduates.
Medical schools in Nigeria, called synonymously as College of Medicine, College of Health Sciences or simply Faculty of Medicine, are those institutions charged by law with the responsibility of training and graduating medical doctors. Since the early days of the establishment of the faculty of medicine in Ibadan as an arm of the University of London, in 1948, Nigeria has come a long way. This paper sought to examine the various stages medical education had gone through in the country, to highlight problems and prospects and to challenge medical educators to chart a way forward for the sector.
