Our Tips For This Role

• Make clear which experience route you meet: at least two years of post-registration cognate experience, or a Master’s degree in a relevant field — the advert accepts either.
• Include evidence of completion of NYSC in your application documents, as the portal listing requires it.
• Frame your clinical experience around the stated work of the post: outpatient clinics at the College clinic, management of common medical conditions, referrals, and responding to medical emergencies on campus, in general medicine.
• Apply online only through the College’s recruitment portal and submit on or before Tuesday, 22 December 2026; only shortlisted candidates will be invited for interview through their dashboard.

Scam Warning

Application is free. Do not pay anyone. The College’s advertisement names one route only — the online application on its official recruitment portal, fceobudurecruits.ng — and names no agent, consultant or payment. Anyone asking for money to register you, “process” your application or secure this appointment is running a scam.
