uanenga:Are you saying they can be retained for ever even if they don't pass their exams? I don't see it as a sack at all. Their contract has run its course and they need to create room for new residents |

How I wish other states in Nigeria could enage these doctors! |

uanenga:Strictly speaking that is not the employers business. In this case they have been invited to apply for an extension which is fair but it is not an entitlement |
Re: 30 Benue Doctors Display Sack Letters, Seek Gov's Intervention (PHOTOS) by uanenga(m): 11:00pm On Apr 08, 2020 |
0m0nnakoda: That said, it needs to be done according to the law. Residency training is not done in 6 years and only the national postgraduate medical college of Nigeria is empowered by law to exit a resident doctor from their training. See the attached letter from the national postgraduate medical college of Nigeria to all CMDs of training institutions.

uanenga:There is a fundamental point you are missing It has to be paid for. The law cannot oblige an employer to continue paying trainees without an exit strategy The employer could be a private hospital though in Nigeria that is rare but all over the world once your residency or internship contract ends you can only beg for extension. It is not a right |

majamajic: U are right about 3 doctor, who's resident permit has expired since last year. And the dept that they are is not accredited by the hospital, so why keeping them @their cost. |
Re: 30 Benue Doctors Display Sack Letters, Seek Gov's Intervention (PHOTOS) by uanenga(m): 11:05pm On Apr 08, 2020 |
0m0nnakoda: The exam is written every six months and a junior resident has 12 months from the time of eligibility and the senior resident has 18 months from the time of eligibility to pass. Even when a senior resident passes, he/she has 6 months to spend with the training institution before leaving. This is what the Residency Training Act says. Residency is not regulated by individual hospitals. Read this letter from the NPMCN to all CMDs.

uanenga:There is nothing in the law obliging an employer to keep a resident for 8 years you can cut and paste your training Look for another centre |
Re: 30 Benue Doctors Display Sack Letters, Seek Gov's Intervention (PHOTOS) by 0m0nnakoda: 11:10pm On Apr 08, 2020 |
uanenga:If they are on firm legal ground they can go to court. My reading of the situation I s that there is no obligation to offer an extension it is a privilege |
Re: 30 Benue Doctors Display Sack Letters, Seek Gov's Intervention (PHOTOS) by uanenga(m): 11:12pm On Apr 08, 2020 |
0m0nnakoda: You obviously don't know what the Residency Training Act is all about. I'm not affected anyway, so no need to say I should look for another centre. Just telling you what the law says. The NPMCN writes to training institutions every six months, recommending residents that are due for exit. The training institution cannot unilaterally exit a resident using their own local hospital rules. Residency is not a local affair. |

Re: 30 Benue Doctors Display Sack Letters, Seek Gov's Intervention (PHOTOS) by uanenga(m): 11:14pm On Apr 08, 2020 |
Chiefolo: This is not the case. They are 32 doctors cut across all the departments of the hospital. |
Re: 30 Benue Doctors Display Sack Letters, Seek Gov's Intervention (PHOTOS) by 0m0nnakoda: 11:15pm On Apr 08, 2020 |
uanenga:You appear to misunderstand the letter you are posting Residents are expected to pass exams in 8 years but it could be less. That does not place ANY obligation whatsoever on employers. Infact an employer could offer a four year contract without breaching any law |
Re: 30 Benue Doctors Display Sack Letters, Seek Gov's Intervention (PHOTOS) by 0m0nnakoda: 11:16pm On Apr 08, 2020 |
uanenga:Tell me Give a citation from the Act I am all ears Sorry the " you " was just a rhetorical device it is not personal to you I have no idea what you do |

0m0nnakoda: The duration is Residency is by a time period from eligibility for exams. For instance, if you are to go for a mandatory posting and your institution doesn't release you for it until 6 years expire, will that mean your time is up? The answer is no. That is why the 2017 medical residency training act pegs the duration of Residency on a time period from when you are eligible to sit for an exam, 12 months for junior residents and 18 months for senior residents. Of you are a doctor or familiar with Residency Training, this should be very clear. And unlike your submission, a training institution cannot have it's own regulations for Residency outside the Residency Training Act of Nigeria. So they can't offer resident doctors 4 years like you said. |

okomile: There is nothing malicious here. Residency program is a specialization training leading to them becoming consultants. And like every training, it is time based which every resident doctor is aware of. For then to still be in training means they have failed some aspects of the course. The training is not free and is paid for by the government. The management even graciously gave the option for extension which there should have quietly taken. If you ask me, I would say these ones are been mischievous here. |

uanenga:There are two issues here Residency and employment Residency act is about training Employment is a different legal framework A residency act signed by Buhari can regulate training but not place any employment obligations on a state government Federal government cannot legislate minimum wage for state governments The state government is entitled to say we are offering you a 6 year contract which the doctors accepted long before Buhari was elected |

Re: 30 Benue Doctors Display Sack Letters, Seek Gov's Intervention (PHOTOS) by 0m0nnakoda: 11:31pm On Apr 08, 2020 |
uanenga:The institution is not having regulations about training Just offering a contract which could even be 1 year take it or leave it As long as the Post graduate college approves Did the College approve the contract at the onset? There is no law saying training must take place in only one centre. None. |
Re: 30 Benue Doctors Display Sack Letters, Seek Gov's Intervention (PHOTOS) by 0m0nnakoda: 11:32pm On Apr 08, 2020 |

0m0nnakoda:Your last sentence says a lot. The vacancy for residency training in Nigeria is becoming something else. Not passing the fellowship exams is also dependent on the examiners. Some of the old examiners tend to look at medical exams with the analogue knowledge they used during their days. For one to have undergone training for 6 years in an accredited institution, signed and presented for an exam by the institution shows he/she has the adequate knowledge in that speciality. There is no need to expect one to turn into a professor during residency training before passing the exam. The examiners should be lenient and focus their examination more on practical issues rather than theoretical. Because these days anybody can use Google for theory. |
