laryom1: In UI, students of MLS offer all and even more than we do in MBBS esp in the 1st semester. It has become a principle here that once u are in a professional dept. Dream of other things order than switching your course. It will look demeaning to allow crossing... That is the mindset of the professional courses collossus. Vet med,pharm , MLS are greatly professional. |

AmbFitsaint:lolz. I was also a UIte. The crossing palava aint strictly that from a non-professional course to medicine( in UI, Students in Chemistry could cross) but you know why? It's not because it's a non professional course but it's because, they allow them to add courses equivalent to all courses being offered by students in Medicine.Last academic session*( d just concluded one), students in Chemistry willing to cross were not allow to add any more courses, the dean bluntly refused that no one is going out of that department. That has already doomed the hopes of crosding. And as you can see here, the ability for them to cross here is not due to non-professionalism of chemistry but due to the courses combo. And I hope you know that in UI, even BCH students have less chances of crossing compared to chemistry( when thwy were given the opportunity) and is BCH a professional course? 2 Likes 1 Share |

laryom1:dentistry, physiotherapy offer Same course as mbbs or even more yet no crossing, why? |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by DavidHunds(m): 11:18am On Feb 18, 2015 |
buzyguy:I guess ,these other departments don't want to be seen as a second choice course or temporary abode for those that couldn't make MBBS in the first instance.. It's understandable |

buzyguy:That's on the condition of being released. In fact, only 1% of people studying dentistry would want to cross to Medicine, which makes the crossing here practically impossible. 1 Like |

Life in UI’s Alexander Brown Hall Alexander Brown Hall (ABH) at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, a 10 minutes drive from the main campus of the University of Ibadan, serves as home to UI medical, dental and physiotherapy students. While physiotherapy students spend two years in the hostel, medical and dental students spend at least 40 months with just two weeks holiday which comes about seven months to graduation. The students spend the first three years of their training inside the UI main campus. Medical students are found in all undergraduates’ halls of residence but the prayer point of every pre-clinical student is to pass the second MB examination and "cross over" to ABH. Inhabitants of the hall are called ‘Brownites’ and the most junior would be in 400 level. ABH is like the Promised Land to an average UI medical student. Movement into the hall is usually associated with fanfare and excitement. The hall is quite unique and life there is different from what is obtainable in other halls. In ABH, DSTV, HiTV and CTL are connected to all rooms unlike in other halls where they are only connected in the TV Room. There are six blocks, three each for the males and females. There is no restriction of movement for Brownites within the hall at any time of the day (and there is no unusual coupling too!) Two students live in a room. Within the hall, there is a five-aside football pitch, basketball, volleyball as well as badminton courts. There are also two table tennis boards, a snooker and computer game playing centre known as Arema. Brownites play the games, including chess and scrabble. During weekdays, most Brownites are busy. Everyone goes to the hospital for their daily activities and most are fagged out by the time they are back. Clinical students rotate through the departments in the hospital and their schedule is determined by the department in which one is at any particular time. However, Surgery and Paediatrics are usually the most tasking. In the evenings, various organisations or fellowships usually have their meetings. However, weekends are more interesting, especially for the sport-loving Brownites. Friday evenings and Saturday mornings are usually for the ABH 5-aside Football League where seven students-owned clubs compete for trophies in basketball and volleyball. Saturday afternoons/ evenings and Sundays are for the English Premiership and Spanish La Liga matches. English Premiership has more fans than other world leagues. The Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea fans always engage themselves in hot arguments, depending on the performance of their teams in the premiership, FA Cup and Champions League. The local ABH clubs also have their fans. FC Lazario has the highest number of fans. The others are FC Hupernikao, True Blues, Leon FC, FC Shining, Bendel Insurance and FC Maximum. Equally in ABH, there are many students’ organisations focused on areas of interest. They include Hamstrings Club for socials and philanthropy, The Forum for development of leadership and public speaking skills; Sport Aficionados for the sports enthusiasts; 7Q7 for the poets; Sinfonia Choir for the singers and Play House for drama. There is also Action Group on Adolescent Health (AGAH) for advocacy against diseases affecting the reproductive tract. Each of these organisations holds programmes at least once in a year. This is besides the bigger organisations, such as the University of Ibadan Medical Students’ Association (UIMSA), UNIBADAN Association of Dental Students (UADS) and the Association of Physiotherapy Students (APS). Meanwhile, only about 20 per cent of Brownites are actively involved in organising the activities of the organisations. Same set of people run the organisations as one could belong to any three of them and be an executive member in two or even three. Socially, ABH is a "dull" hall compared to others in UI. Brownites leave the hall on Friday nights to clubs or joints because UI banned the sale of alcoholic drinks in its halls of residence. Usually, variety nights during hall or departmental weeks are the only opportunities for those who don’t like to go out to relax. Each of the clubs holds a variety night once a year. Politically, ABH can boast of student- politicians who are active locally, nationally and internationally. Brownites hold executive posts in the Students Transition Caretaker, NiMSA, FAMSA, JCI, ANUNSA, Rotaract Club, HAPPY Club, UCJ, etc. However, majority have little or no interest in politics. Seniority, religious affiliation and relationship with others usually influence the outcome of elections in ABH. Politics of "beef" and character assassination is also very pronounced and usually used against the more popular candidates. On the other hand, there are many religious leaders in ABH. Each class boasts of not less than five pastors of major fellowships in UI/UCH. There also exists the Prince of Dawa, alfas and students’ imams in the hall. Academically, Brownites are very sound. No doubt, with due respect to other universities, UI has the best medical college in Nigeria (but this does not in any way suggest that our colleagues in other schools are inferior). Brownites have won the first four editions of the Emeritus Professor Akinkugbe’s Biennial Quiz competition in which at least 16 medical schools participate. UNN would host the next edition. The driest and dullest moments in the hall are during examinations. Every Brownite writes an end-of-posting examination at least once in every two months but the major MBBS examination comes once a year. During such periods, "all man de humble". What about relationships? An average male Brownite prefers to date a non- medical student. This is probably because the female medics are usually as busy as the males and may not be free when the guy would need her. Same also goes for the lady Brownites. There are just few couples in ABH. You can also get lots of male and female virgins just as there are sexually active ones. UI girls do feel proud to have a boyfriend in ABH and some Brownites take advantage of that to have as many as possible. Don’t ask me if "yawah dey gas" when the ladies find out. On cultism, there are no identifiable cult members in ABH, besides there is zero cult activity among Brownites. To put it mildly, ABH is the most comfortable undergraduate hostel to live in Nigeria. Two-man room, no squatters, complete with DSTV? That’s unbeatable. Sports wise? Unbeatable. Politics wise? Vibrant. Ah ah … socially? We call for help! www.twitter.com/ishow_dot 14 Likes 4 Shares |

Good afternoon Docs and Docs to be. I need a little help. Sometimes I feel pain in my neck whenever i wake up from sleep or after reading for long hours. Recently whenever I experience this I'll pour cold water on my neck. It works like magic. The pain will subside immediately. Pls is there any side effect to it (the use of cold water on the neck). If yes what other way can be used to stop the pain. Thanks! Happy Sunday all. |

Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Chartey(m): 11:20pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
DrHesjay:As for the average marks, its the usual thing. The reason is thats they don't want students to compensate for poor results with good results from another exam in cases where they have to add everything up. They want graduating doctors to be all-rounded. I don't think there's any medical school where people get 70s and 80s on a regular. |

smartdave1: The position with which you sleep is a considerable cause of your neck pain and ( probably your reading style too may contribute to it). Normally, when you rotate or massage your neck, you perceive knuckling sounds, which may lessen your pain... But to be frank, i'll advice a Healthier sleeping style and a better reading posture, The water magic!, Its up to you... God bless. |
