Is the posting done by the doctor or by MDCN

MDCN does not post doctors on the portal. Rather it is the responsibility of interested and qualified doctors to visit the portal and select any center of their choice from the available ones. If no Centre is displayed, it means there are no vacancies in the institutions. The Doctor should wait for the next batch of vacancies to be declared by the MDCN.

Can I change my name on the portal?

No.

I want to change folio number

The folio number is a unique means of identification for doctors in the doctors’ Register. Hence, this cannot be changed.

Can a doctor undergoing the housemanship training programme resign from his current center?

The housemanship programme is designed to run uninterrupted for 12 months (1 year). To this end, resignation is not allowed. However, should any doctor resign, he/she will have to pay back all allowances he/she has received from the start of the programme till date or face disciplinary action.

I want to be reposted to another center.

The housemanship programme is designed to run uninterrupted for 12 months (1 year). To this end, resignation is not allowed.

I did not see my preferred center.

The names of institutions that appear in the drop down box for selection of center is based on availability of spaces in the various centers. That is, names of those institutions with spaces at their centers will appear for selection while names of those whose spaces have been fully occupied will not appear in the drop down selection. Doctors are expected to choose from the available centers or wait till when the choice center will be available for selection.

I did not see any center to select from.

All spaces in all the internship institutions have been fully occupied. Hence, the name of none of them is appearing. That is, none of them is available for selection at that material time.

I got the message that my posting has been rolled back/cancelled for failing to resume 14 days after date of receipt of posting letter.

This happens if a house officer failed to report/resume at their chosen centers within the period stipulated on their posting letter. The portal is design to automatically cancel/roll back the officer’s initial posting.

Some officers have resumed work in our center but we cannot find their names for clearance for payment of allowance(s)

It is possible that when the house officers resumed duty, the contact person for the center forgot to “mark them as resumed”. If that is the case, the centre contact person should go back to mark such house officers as “RESUMED”. However, if such posting is over two weeks there is possibility that the posting would have been automatically rolled back and such house officer’s posting is no longer valid. He/she will not be able to continue training with the institution. HE WILL NOW HAVE TO REAPPLY/SELECT ANOTHER POSTING WHEN NEXT VACANCIES ARE DECLARED/ AVAILABLE.

We saw the names of house officers posted to our center but we did not see their posting letter.

Once their names appear in the center, it means they have indeed legitimately and successfully posted themselves to that center through the portal. Such house officers should be accepted.

Our chosen center said they have not received their copy of our posting letters. Hence they rejected us.

The various designated housemanship centers have been informed to confirm/accept house officers whose names appear in their module on the portal. Any affected house officer not accepted should send complaints to housemanship@mdcn.gov.ng

I mistakenly chose a wrong center, I want my posting to be reset.

(1). Once a house officer has posted himself/herself to a center, the posting cannot be undone. On submitting, the portal will ask the officer to confirm the center he/she has decided to post himself/herself to, and to click the submit button if this is ok with him/her, otherwise, to click the cancel button if this is not ok with him/her. Hence, once an officer posted himself/herself to a center, the posting cannot be undone.

(2). The housemanship programme is designed to run uninterrupted. To this end, resetting/reposting/resignation/transfer is not allowed.

None payment of house officer’s salary

For house officers: Complaints on payment related issues, should be channel to the contact person of the center who will then forward same to: (i) The Registrar, MDCN (hard copy), (ii) houseofficersfinance@mdcn.gov.ng (softcopy).

For contact person: Payment related issues concerning your center’s house officers should be sent to: (i) The Registrar, MDCN (hard copy), (ii) houseofficersfinance@mdcn.gov.ng (softcopy). Please the following details should be included :- name of the center, name of affected  house officers, folio number, bvn, bank name, bank account number, the month for which the officers did not receive payment.

House officer only receive half salary

For house officers: payment related issues like this should be channeled to the contact person of the center who will then forward same to: (i) The Registrar, MDCN (hard copy), (ii) houseofficersfinance@mdcn.gov.ng (softcopy).

For contact person: Payment related issues concerning your center’s house officers should be sent to: (1) The Registrar, MDCN (hard copy), (2) houseofficersfinance@mdcn.gov.ng softcopy). Please the following details should be included :- name of the center, name of affected  house officers, folio number, bvn, bank name, bank account number, the month for which the officers did not receive payment.

One of our house officers resigned. What should we do

The housemanship programme is designed to run uninterrupted for 12 months (1 year). To this end, resignation is not allowed. However, Should this happen the affected house officer must refund all salaries he/she has received from the start of his/her programme till date. The housemanship institution should promptly write an official letter to the Registrar, MDCN, informing him of same.

I want to register on the portal what type of email should I use?

Some email systems with very poor and old configurations have been found to be incompatible with the portal, for instance, rocket mail, boxbe email, etc. Try using a more modern email systems like gmail.com, outlook.com, etc.

I registered on the portal on the housemanship portal successfully but I did not receive the login details in my email

(1). If the login details is not sent to your inbox, check your junk/spam folder.

 (2). If you are using an outdated/poorly configured email, (e.g. rocket mail, boxbe email), it is possible that the problem is there. Get a gmail or outlook email and send a request for replacement of your email on the portal to : housemanship@mdcn.gov.ng

I receive the error “officer with mdcn/r/xxxxx is undergoing training already”

It is likely you are typing the wrong folio number. Please confirm and type in the correct folio number.

Is it compulsory for me to do my housemanship in one of the centers on the housemanship portal

No. MDCN recognizes all housemanship training done in any MDCN approved federal, state and private housemanship institutions/centers. However, the Federal Government will only be responsible for payment of allowances/salaries to house officers undergoing their housemanship training through the posting on the MDCN Centralized Housemanship Portal.

Failure to resume within 2 weeks of posting, you will no longer be active and will be disabled on the portal. What does this mean?

This simply means that the portal will reclaim the slot/space reserved for the house officer in his/her choice center in the current batch. He/she will not be able to participate in the current training with the batch, and WILL NOW HAVE TO REAPPLY/SELECT ANOTHER POSTING WHEN NEXT VACANCIES ARE DECLARED/AVAILABLE.

If I am not able to secure a posting for my internship training within 2 years, what will happen to my provisional certificate?

The affected house officers will need to apply for re-validation of his/her provisional certificate.

How do I register on the housemanship portal for the first time

Visit the housemanship portal : https://housemanship.mdcn.gov.ng

Click on the “Register” button.

In the folio number box, type your folio number in this format MDCN/R/XXXXXXX (please replace XXXX with actual number).

To accept each of the house officers, look for the button named “Mark As Resumed” and click on it for the doctors. For more details, please see and download the manual titled “STEPS FOR ACCEPTING NEW HOUSE OFFICERS” from our DOWNLOAD PAGE.

What should I do if I am rejected in the center I posted myself to?

Housemanship centers are not expected to reject any house officer posted to them. In case this happens for any unforeseen reason, the concerned house officer is advised to formally write to the Registrar of Council informing him of such through housemanship@mdcn.gov.ng.

I did my posting to a center successfully but I did not receive posting letter in my email.

Sometimes due configuration settings by your email providers, some mails that are meant to go your inbox may end up in your spam or junk folder. Hence, check your spam/junk folder to be sure that the mail is not there. If you still did not see the posting letter, then send a complaint to housemanship@mdcn.gov.ng so that the letter can be resent.

My housemanship institution is short changing us on accommodation.

House officers are expected to sort out their accommodation issues themselves or optionally with their respective training institutions as the accommodation allowance is being paid directly to the house officers by the government.

Can house officers undergoing housemanship training participate in NARD strike.

House officers undergoing housemanship training are not expected to participate in such strike.

If I mistakenly posted myself to the wrong institution and I want a reset of that posting, is this possible?

(1). Once a house officer has posted himself/herself to a center, the posting cannot be undone. The submitting, the portal will ask the officer to confirm the center he/she has decided to post himself/herself to, and to click the submit button if this is ok with him/her, otherwise, to click the cancel button if this is not ok with him/her. Hence, once an officer posted himself/herself to a center, the posting cannot be undone.

(2). The housemanship programme is designed to run uninterrupted for 12 months (1 year). To this end, resetting/reposting/resignation/transfer is not allowed.

Any time MDCN want to declare vacancy/open the portal, Why did they not give prior notification

This is not true. MDCN always publishes notification on the mdcn.gov.ng prior to any declaration of vacancies on the housemanship portal. Note: Vacancies are declared based on availability of spaces at the various centers.

What is the next date when the portal will be opened?

All intending house officers/the general public will be notified through our website (www.mdcn.gov.ng) on the RECENT NEWS page, before any vacancy will be declared.

What is the last clearance date for the housemanship centres?

All housemanship training centres are to ensure that all house officers at their centers are cleared on or before 15th of every month.

My center could not clear house officers due to network/power challenge And the expiration date has passed what do we do?

Centers with such challenges should forward details of the house officers with covering letters duly signed by the CMD/MD to the Registrar via: houseofficersfinance@mdcn.gov.ng or housemanship@mdcn.gov.ng.

Can the two (2) weeks for resumption be extended

No. if a house officer refused/failed to report within the stipulated 2 weeks as contained in the posting letter, the portal system will automatically roll back/cancel the posting and releases the slot for other intending house officers.

After entering my folio number and date of issue of provisional certificate, while registering on the housemanship site, my system keeps showing “processing”

This problem is usually connected with an issue from your mobile device (phone). Try registering on a laptop/desktop.

A doctor undergoing his training in a state hospital secured posting to a new center through the portal. Can he/she proceed to his new posting center?

No. Housemanship training is to be done uninterruptedly for a 12 months period .Hence, resignation is not allowed and officers found in such practices will be sanctioned by MDCN.

I am having payment issues through the portal.

The doctor needs to be specific on the type of payment issue he/she is having and the type of service he is paying for.

I Paid for my Annual practicing license with NMA Building levy but the license is still not approved.

This could be due to the reasons stated below:

-The doctor did not make full payment for his Annual license renewal.

-He/she did not pay for NMA building levy or payment made was not complete.

- The doctor did not upload his/her MBBS, Certificate.

-The passport photograph is not in the right format.

-The doctor’s file is not accessible.        

I am unable to change my birth certificate

The doctor can send mail to support@mdcn.gov.ng , registration@mdcn.gov.ng, any of the official mails or calls this line. 08160445777, stating their complaints and it would be resolved.

I paid for professional indemnity insurance for MDCN registration but it’s not been confirmed still showing pending.

This can be  resolved following the steps below:

*Go to the doctor’s dashboard,

*Click on Insurance Indemnity,

*Scroll to the end of the page and  

*Click re-query all transaction

Note: If the doctor was actually debited the issue would be resolved.

I am not able to log in to the MDCN portal, after receiving Account creation approval.

The problem might be from the login procedure.

To login to your profile page,

Click on sign in,

Click  here under doctors access,

Input MDCN/R/Folio Number

Then input password.

And click log in.

I cannot login to the portal as it keeps bringing up the message: “validation complete! Folio number is in use already, contact MDCN for resolution “

This is because the Folio number is already in use which might be because, an account had been previously created using the same folio number and the account is active. So trying to create another account with the same details will bring up the message “Folio Number already in use”. The doctor should contact MDCN for advice via support@mdcn.gov.ng , registration@mdcn.gov.ng, any of the official mails or calls this line. 08160445777, stating his/her complaints and it would be resolved.

I registered on the MDCN portal was told to wait for 48 hours to receive a validatory message before going on with the registration. This is more than 48 hours but yet to receive the message to access my login.

Official working days for MDCN is from Monday to Friday. Hence if a Doctor signed up on a weekend for instance after official closing hour on Friday, he may need to wait till Monday for his/her account to be verified and activated.

It has been more than 48 hours that I signed up and my account is still not activated

-This delay might be due to several request for account activation .Folio numbers and full names need to be verified before granting account activation.

-Also Doctors who applied after official closing hours on Friday may need to wait till Monday for their account to be verified and activated.

I have completed my application process how do I do access my certificate?

To access your certificate, login to your dashboard and click on “My Certificate”.

I am finding it difficult to access my MDCN profile. Each time I try to log in, I receive the message “Your account cannot be found”, please what do I need to do?

The message “Account cannot be found”  is due to the fact that the doctor is yet to create an account on  the MDCN portal and he/she is trying to login. When you receive this message,

*Click on register

*Click under the New Doctor Account

*Fill your details on the registration form and submit.

Your Account will be activated within 48 hrs.

If I have completed my change of name registration with MDCN, how do I reflect the new name on my profile page on the MDCN portal?

Change is reflected by MDCN and not the Doctor.

I am having problems with adding previous payment on my profile

The doctor should send his/her complaint to support@mdcn.gov.ng , registration@mdcn.gov.ng, attaching all the said RRR.MDCN designated staff will assist him with adding the RRR from the backend and he would be communicated.

How do I know the status of my online applications?

Kindly check your dashboard on the portal

I made payment via the portal, I was deducted but did not get a receipt of payment in my email box.

On the doctor’s dashboard he/she should click on payment, scroll to the end of the page to know if the application was submitted then click on print receipt.
