Medics urged to register with governing council

The call for newly minted medics to secure their practicing licenses before stepping into the job market took center stage as 754 students graduated from Mayanja Memorial Medical Institute in Mbarara on Saturday, November 15, 2025. Even amid the jubilation, institute leaders underscored that without formal recognition from their professional councils, graduates risk missing out on crucial employment opportunities and stalling the careers they have worked tirelessly to launch. Reinforcing this message, the institute’s leadership encouraged the graduates to enter the medical field with pride, humility, and a strong sense of purpose. They were reminded that midwifery, nursing, laboratory science, and clinical medicine are not merely professions but a calling—one that demands integrity, empathy, and excellence from the moment they begin serving the communities that await their expertise.
