Well...if you want something so bad, you should want it badly enough.

the reason why i said that is that i'm experiencing the problem buh i've only written jamb once and i'm trying the next one.... Not only that friends of mine that are aspirant are experiencing the same problem.

Hello room
I've got a lot of people around me doinng dentistry
I would love to. Ask what process it takes to move to medicine after completing dentistry

lomaxx:

Good.

I'm aspiring for the position of the President of University of Uyo Medical Students Association(UUMSA) next year.

I will need a campaign manager for your class when the time comes

You have immense potential.

Btw, I've sent the mail.

Chisos! I'm actually speechless now. I don't believe this. Here was I thinking you should be a medical student from one of these prestigious Nigerian medical Luminaries. I feel Prouder(Permit my English) now with what you just told me. Thanks once again.

I'll do just that.

lomaxx: PART 1

Today was a typical Pediatrics day. I wake up by 3.00am, study till 7am and prepare for the day ahead. I snuggled in some study time between 8.15am and 10am waiting for the team of residents to arrive at the Children Emergency Ward for the rounds to begin. They began to arrive and in no time the rounds began.

Wow, what time do you go to bed really?

You didn't answer my questions. There's nothing like "average" or "smarties" in this place. Everyone here sits down to read. There's no one who is guaranteed success before attempting an exam. He who wields the most correct answers to exam questions is given priority- average or not.

Ahmadjr:

My cumulative sleep time is 5 - 7 hours daily. I take napping seriously.

bethedoski: Hi all. I really admire the matured contribution of most of the guys on this thread(Drhesjay,Doclight, fatima amongst others). Though i'm an introvertive and reserved fellow but this thread has encouraged me to spill my bitter guts.
I applied for medicine and surgery in the university of ilorin and i had 254 and 80% in my jamb and post-utme respectively. My single sitting waec result was also good with 2 A1s, 1 C5, and the rest Bs. But when the list was released, I was offered physiology. No one can imagine how i felt that day. I was so downcast and almost went shizophrenic. And far disheartening was my research on this course. I learnt that most graduates(physiologists and anatomists) are hardly employable and their services are hardly required in any establishment including hospitals. Am yet to come to a reasonable conclusion on what to do. I've seen some who were given the course with far lower scores i am not trying to show off or demean them but i'm just confused and utterly perplexed right now. I have not even paid the clearance fee because am considering opting for IJMB or Remedial. I wonder how a school of that stance would be so discriminating in awarding such a course. I sincerely need the candid advice of my bosses here cos the clearance is supposed to close on the 21st.

lol.... scores..
my broda had 250...86...5As n 4Bs has no even bn admitted at all...
Lomaxx said it all dha...

I dnt have it at hand sir.
and by syllabus.. do u mean d topics or what.

Unilorin operates a kinda integrated stuff n they use postings in preclinicals.
its not like its posting perse..... but they call them postings... n each posting had duration.

O God, Thats incredible. 1 of my sec. Sch pals was offered medicine with Jamb-229 and Putme-72%. I was told that my being a non-indigene(not even in catchment area) was the reason. I really feel for ur brother ooo. Well God knows the best!!!. U told me in unilorin thread that the best 10 or so migrate to medicine in 200level. Am gonna give it a shot. Thanks so much once again.
If you don't mind, i would like to have ur whatsapp no. Mine is 08138888030

Our anatomy is divided into gross anatomy...histology n embryolohy
and we have postings... cbd/ibs...CVS/RS ..etc...
when its CVS/RS(8weeks).. we ll do histo.. embryo..physio.. everything on CVS and RS sha..
in cbd/IBS.. we ll treat general embryo.. general histo.. cell physoology then blood n body fluids..
so its integrated.. they follow like that sha.. don't rili knw how to put it...
.
all schools use d same syllabus... but different pattern of instruction....
.
A systemic approach is used for histology n embryology....( u learn by systems... Cardiovascular ...respiratory.... Gastrointestinal etc)
.
a regional approach is used for gross( u learn region by region.... d extremities.. thorax.. abdomen...pelvis... head. neck etc)
.
I ll try to see if I can get a file that explains better.

lomaxx:

Adopt the dual approach to getting admitted.

Go for A levels. Cambridge preferably if you have the wherewithal. IJMB can suffice as well.

Then sneak in some study time for UTME. Studying for UTME on its own is enough. Having an A level background makes you a boss.

If Medicine is what you want, don't do Physiology for a long term goal. You can do Physiology now and Medicine later - which means you'll need to do the clearance. It's just gonna take longer. But if can afford the risk, try the first option.

It's very painful to work hard and not see results. It's very painful. I'm talking from experience. Some years ago, I scored 273 in UME and 328 in Post-UME and University of Uyo refused to give me admission on merit. It was the highest UME and Post-UTME score that year for MBBS(as I learnt later on). I'm an indigene of the state as well. I had mbbs admission elsewhere(you can imagine) but I wanted to school at home. I had to beg them to give me admission which they later heeded to.

However, this is life and bad things happen. Bad things do not happen to break us but to make us and help us discover abilities we never thought were possible. Life would always go on and failure isn't final. It maybe one year gone, but it's for a reason.

Good luck.

Thanks so much Dr lomaxx, u really are a spotlight to future doctors and other medical fields. I read ur earlier posts and they were really rejuvenating.
Well, I adopted the dual approach. I wrote kwasu's post ume and had 94% and i was offered biochemistry(they don't offer medicine there yet) which i turned down instantly.
In unilorin here, i heard the best 20 students in BMS(anatomy and physiology) transit to MBBS. So the qstn i wanna ask is: can i go for this course and aim for the best, write 2015 jamb and still undergo IJMB to widen my chances?.

codedmelvin: gudevenin potential docs n d house,av been following dis thread for quite a long time Buh on a low key.........I jus gained admission into MBBS,university of Ibadan.....though av already gotten a B.Sc in microbiology(UNN)2-1,would av tried entering via d.e Buh I sensed dat ma chances are slim owing to nuc quota(at most admitting10) to fed unis....so I tried jamb.am so greatful to God dat am finally admitted into dis noble course nd I look upto u guys for advice nd guidance....will b tru with nysc nxt month,tnx

same here bro; grad from LASU mcb. Still waiting for admission list in my case tho

Is d anatomy also systemic or it's regional? M very sorry 4 disturbing u sir.

Thewhizzkid1: Is d anatomy also systemic or it's regional? M very sorry 4 disturbing u sir.

ah.. na u b my boss na.
.
what m saying is.
anatomy is divided into 3....histology,embryology and gross anatomy..
anatomy is not just one course... its a wide field with branches...as I said... gross anatomy is a regional stuff... while others r systemic..
there's also neuroanatomy. In unilorin.. its d last posting...(neuro posting) ...then they teach everything on d nervous system.

DrHesjay: lmao....

Pls, tell us why u laffed?

oh..I get now..
check dat post again... I modified it . but seems u commented before I modified.
