Discovery sources

Limitations: The MDCN PDF table extracts in non-row order, so only name and city fragments that appear contiguously were quoted; ownership, quota and accreditation level per school were not assigned. Degree titles were verified from school pages only for OAU, UNIMED, UDUS and Bayelsa Medical University; other entries carry a generic qualification. University of Nigeria Nsukka's dentistry site was not readable (JavaScript). Bayelsa Medical University is recorded from its own page and is not on the MDCN list reached. 2026-10-14 follow-up: degree titles were additionally confirmed on faculty pages for University of Jos and Bayero University Kano; the remaining 12 regulator-list-only entries still lack a fetched school page (several university sites returned 403, no dental page, or an empty directory).
