Typically, cancellations occur automatically within 2 to 4 weeks after submission.
However, the processing time depends on several factors — especially the type of center you selected.
MDCN often does not immediately believe claims of accidental selection, so you should:
Wait for 2 weeks after submission.
Send an email request to housemanship@mdcn.gov.ng.
Wait for another 2 weeks for possible cancellation.
For highly competitive centers (those with limited slots), cancellations usually occur faster, since many applicants are waiting to take those spaces.
If your selected center is non-competitive, you may need to wait 2 weeks or longer before MDCN processes your cancellation.

As outlined in our recent MDCN update , every House Officer must train in an accredited center.
