IMPORTANCE OF POST GRADUATE EDUCATION IN NIGERIA

We all seek, if not insist on, standards of excellence from a professional by the reassurance that such professional is well schooled in his or her profession by obtaining advance degree and certification.
Sometimes, when we talk about what it means to be a professional, we imply to the following traits, prestige and influence, high income, licensure, the idea of service, a high code of ethics and many other values of being a professional. A medical doctor in the health sector in Nigeria derives his/her respect and power from the ability to cure or correct any physical problem in others. The doctor advance acquired skills gives him the ability to recognize, diagnose and cure almost every treatable disease on the planet earth. But what makes doctors different from every professional health worker is the use of science or scientific tools or methods to maintain their professional credibility. A doctor depends on proven methods and ideology from research to guide their day to day practice skills. It is a successful application of knowledge and skills which entrenches the public confidence and earns doctor the respect they engender as a result, this they can only achieve by further studying and carrying out more research.
