Due to issues of accreditation at the College of Medicine, University of Abuja, Dr. Dahiru Adamu Bara, 29, and his colleagues spent 12 years to study medicine. The process of getting a medical school accredited is quite tedious as it requires a lot of things from its academic staff. In 2007, I was named the best student in Medical Chemistry during the World Biochemistry Day celebration. He encouraged me to study medicine, and that was how I let go of my desire to study engineering. One major challenge some medical students face at the beginning is the fear of working on a cadaver.
