So glad to see this thread progress as it used to be.
Greetings to all medics in the house.
I must confess that I greatly detest the rush this new curriculum has birthed.
I detest cramming for exams but how will I cover up an enormous region with a frame of two weeks and getting tested on it with 2 big regions instantaneously?
Gross in grossly time demanding to grasp but my lecturers seem not to grasp. Now it is all abt cramming d seemingly hot spots and discarding most part.
I hate this system.
Stabbing classes, dissection sections and even practicals have been the order of the day here for the confident guys. What a curriculum!
I had prefer learning the stuffs with no pressure bearing it in mind that medical school might go far beyond 6 years to just activating survival mode of reading style.

Sorry Vincent ehn..... I notice the way you guys occupy all spaces in our reading rooms these days.... By the way, when is the test?

omicron:
No hard and fast rules. It depends on you.

Omiiiiiiiicron!

Thank you boss! I don learn something today o

So in general, find what
works for you and
maximise it. That way,
med school will not be
too intimidating or
stressful to you

Lol , now you've reminded me that horrible physiology. I can't even remember whether I passed or it was mild-moderate failure .

Oh my bad, it is a typo. It's supposed to be HYPOglycemia.

My apologies for ruining a great question.

check d question again,all d info is dere.
Prevention of neonatal tetanus focuses on vaccinating women who are pregnant or may become pregnant with inactivated tetanus toxin (tetanus toxoid). Appropriately vaccinated women provide transplacental IgG to the fetus, which decreases the incidence of neonatal tetanus by approximately 95%.

got it.


pregnant women coming the US to give birth should be informed of appropriate prenatal practices though, offtopic.


btw, I'm on the thread as a visitor, not a med student.

Seniors in the house, is it in 500 level part 2 mmbs is written or 400 ending? Because in our school handbook, part2mbbs is said to be written 22months into clinical. Part3 6 months after and final mbbs 8 months after part3. I am confused. DrHesjay , lagusta , lomaxx ,

are u a medical doctor sir?

lomaxx:


Your post left out some important information.

what level are you?

what level of accreditation is your school?

what's the news about the accreditation according to your lecturers?

Pls, go through the post again.
I said, I'm in 100level.
Partial accreditation( first clinical).
Lecturers and Medics are still optimistic, Singing the same old song ''we will graduate our first set this year''. This Common mantra among medics is yet to materialize.
The Major problem is the Teaching hospital, it lacks facilities and other stuffs needed for full accreditation.
Medics are totally disillusioned.
I don't want to suffer delay and end up graduating from med school with grey hair. That's why I'm planning to make a move asap.

omicron:
No hard and fast rules. It depends on you.

My general rule was to try to cover the lectures of the day before the end of the day, and to do a weekly review by weekends plus 'mop-up' reading, whereby I read fresh topics that I was not able to read on their lecture days.

I also paid more attention to topics I found too large or more difficult, meaning I gave special attention to them at the expense of others. The amount of time and work I gave to a course was inversly related to how easy-to-understand-or-remember that course was to me.

Eg, because I found Biochemistry quite simple, I spent far less time on it, not out of neglect but just because I did not need to spend much time on it to pass it. Same with Public Health and Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 4th MB class, and somewhat, Medicine in Final MB.

You should also know which part of the day you read and understand most. Personally, I could not read at nights; the output was too little compared to the input. Thirty minutes of reading in the Mornings could give me the same output that a 4-hour studying session would give me in the afternoons and at nights.

I discovered this close to my 2nd MB exam, more than a year into med school. From then on, I changed my reading time. I would usually "go to class" or read in the room from around 3am to around 7am, having slept from around 8pm. When I needed more time, I would skip some lectures (usually those known not to have much benefit to me) and read all morning up to 11am.

So in general, find what works for you and maximise it. That way, med school will not be too intimidating or stressful to you

U just relieved me.... I felt despondent when some1 posted here, that he read for 12-15hrs everyday... And as a bizman and a medical aspirant I've been thinking how will I be able to map-out such time in my busy lifestyle. But, ur timetable seems too apt to my immediate business schedule. My passion for Medicine wont ever wane.

yea I know, that's what its called here. You haven't answered my question. What I am asking is that path and pharm is said to be written 22months after starting clinicals, that should be end of 500 level? But it ought to be at the end of 400 level.

as I have said.. it all depends on the skul..
path n pharm in unilorin is in 400lvl...
Some skuls write it in 500lvl..e.g. UI
.
in ilorin.. 400lvl is about 14-15months and they write MB after...

muta1996:

I didn't answer the question- lomaxx did.

My answer would actually have been wrong, since I might have gone with D, however, infants are not given tetanus toxoid at birth.

The question was pretty much self explanatory, I think, clearly showed tetanus, especially when you mentioned soil.

Good evening all!

Your junior brother (me) will be writting his post UTME on the 22nd of July 2015... LASU, pls always remember him in your prayers.

Thank you.

omicron:
This is very true, in the sense that such pass rate is possible with the current curriculum of med school in Nigeria where the load far exceeds the time to cover them. It is not entirely the lecturer's problem, neither does it mean that 93.6% of the students are olodos. Centje, how many people passed physiology 1st test in our class then? Lol

It is a test result, usually at the begining of the 1st professional exam, so the examiner might have been very strict regarding the marking scheme. Then, many med students are yet to understand how to pass and what to read. Many are still lost in the never-ending volumes of stuff to read.

In time the scores will improve, and by the end of the 1st professional exam, pass rate should be around 50%, partly because these scores might have stimulated the students more, and partly because the students get to mature and read more purposefully.

The result is a true reflection of med school, at that stage in many schools. This is the kind of things non medical students will never understand, even our closest neighbours in allied medical departments.

I really appreciate your thoughts.

Good morning sirs and ma's...I am a med student from Ekiti state Uni. will be writing ma 300Mbbs exam this coming sept.pls I desire past questions from Unilorin and other schools. And your advice will be appreciated. Thanks
