Danyl:
thanks alot....
pls which level and what university are u in....?

Just got admitted to 200L, UNN via DE.

tufe: Probably a mistake or something. ABSU is abia state Uni right?
@Lagusta, don't mind me saying he is d father of psychiatry. I am yet to domy posting in psychiatry I just spoke outta my own little knowledge being that his name seems to be mentioned often in psychiatry.if u guys do psychiatry in 600L, I'm guessing ur path and pharm is done in 300L, cause that's d system LUTH runs.
So @ebsuguy was lagusta's ansa good?

Ok, let me break it down for u.....

Here in unilorin, we do anatomy, physiology and biochemistry, with a bit of epidemiology, behavioural sciences, microbiology and a WHO program called COBES in 200L and 300L, pharmacology is introduced in 300L, there we write our 1st professional MBBS...

In 400L we do pathology and pharmacology. Pathology is made of anatomic pathology, chemical pathology, microbiology and haematology.... Then we do our junior medical and surgical postings (M1 and S1), then we write our part 1 final MBBS

In 500L, we do two postings of paediatrics and obstetrics and gynaecology each, with another surgical posting (S2) and community health, with 4weeks of COBES, then we write our part 2 final MBBS

In 600L, we do our special postings in anaesthesiology, radiology, ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology... with M2, then our final M3, S3 and psycho postings, finally we chill off at COBES for 4 weeks and write our part 3 final MBBS exam... If u pass, u r a doctor, if not u resit the exam in 3 months, then repeat if u fail again

We withdraw at 200L if u fail twice, 300L if u fail thrice and 400L if u fail 4 times (I didn't say repeat 4 times ooooo)

Well..........

yes he got it...

yes he got it...

Lagusta,dats a gud explanation.wit d explanation u did,it means u would pass tru all d branches of mbbs b4 graduating.which exams have u repeat b4 and y was it so.

Wat i was thinking is dat when a student gets 2 level 4,he or she wil choose his or her specialisation and proceed.but wit wot ave just read,its different

@aliandro....yes ur former view is wrong....lagusta got the right explanation...specialty is only done after passing ur primaries...that is when u av been licensed into the NMDCN...good morning alll....any 200L pls identify lets share info's

I've always dreamt of studying mbbs, and I know it will surely come true.Amen

Is it true that dental students also do housemanship?

aliandro: Lagusta,dats a gud explanation.wit d explanation u did,it means u would pass tru all d branches of mbbs b4 graduating.which exams have u repeat b4 and y was it so.

No exam has ever given me problem like pharmacology..... That subject turned me into an olodo meeehn.... Until I found out that the only way to pass it is to CRAM, omo I cram the katzung die, until I passed it by whiskers, one of my former coursemates, who was a B.sc comeback, was withdrawn cos of pharmacology...

aliandro: Wat i was thinking is dat when a student gets 2 level 4,he or she wil choose his or her specialisation and proceed.but wit wot ave just read,its different

Yeah, u got it all wrong!!!

U specialize only when u finish and get registered into the MDCN, there are a lot of specialties to choose from...

snave007: I've always dreamt of studying mbbs, and I know it will surely come true.Amen

Amen, I pray 4 u too, and I pray God grants u your heart desire!!!

afol4dam: Is it true that dental students also do housemanship?

I am not sure

afol4dam: Is it true that dental students also do housemanship?

Yessir they do, then proceed on to NYSC just like med docs. That's why they are both registered by the same council, Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).

@lagusta, I guess ur guys system is kinda different from ours then. Here in lasuth in 200L and 300L we do anatomy, biochem and physio wif a little of community health, then write out 1st MB in 300L.

We then begin junior posting in Med and surg, then anaesthesia. Pathology and pharmacology follows. After which we write our 2nd MB.

In 500L we do psychiatry, paediatrics and then O&G. After ward 3rd MB, then elective.

600L begins with intermediate posting comprising of all that. Then comm health posting and then senior posting. Finally 4th MB of med, surg and comm health.

lathyph: pls do u knw ajani shakiru,he is also a finalist in college of medicin

Of course I kno him...... Haven't seen him in a while tho.....

Jeffbaba: @phoenix u should know a certain 'kehinde jinadu' in ur class. Meehhn no wonder evrybody wants to read med! That amount for housemanship is enough to buy a brand new car if saved prudently after the one year. Chai......we are bigger boys ooo!!! UNDISPUTED CHAMPS

Nah, I don't know him/her, but the person is definitely part of our class ( name is on the admission list). Maybe when the class gets smaller, we will get to know one another. @Lagusta Thanks

Hmmmm, so which system is more stressful now?? ??

@tufe what do u understand by index....my course rep today came with the class list and ask us to make corrections in case our names and registration no was spelt wrongly because the faculty said they are sending it to the NMDCN for indexing....any1 here pls throw more light

Lagusta:

yeah is stil in lag,is he also failed his xam co he supposed 2 graduated dis yr

ebsuguy: @tufe what do u understand by index....my course rep today came with the class list and ask us to make corrections in case our names and registration no was spelt wrongly because the faculty said they are sending it to the NMDCN for indexing....any1 here pls throw more light

Yeah, we also did that in our 200L....

I believe the indexing is to register medical and dental students into MDCN, so that screening at final year will be made easier...

lathyph: yeah is stil in lag,is he also failed his xam co he supposed 2 graduated dis yr

Hmmmm, I heard that too...

We all need prayers oooo

BTW I haven't seen any female medic here

ar u in d same level?

Do dental and medical students follow the same trends on campus...i means stuff like exams,posting,practicals etc. Thanks for answering.

Lagusta:

Welcome, sorry but, where is ABSUU again....

Don't worry about the hidden posts, I think I kno what is going on

ABSUU is abia state university uturu. In 400L, we go to ABSUTH Aba for our clinicals.

lathyph: ar u in d same level?

Well, we were once in the same level.....

erudite scholar: ABSUU is abia state university uturu. In 400L, we go to ABSUTH Aba for our clinicals.

Ok, just like us, but here, only 100L is done in unilorin, 200L and beyond is done at UITH, the college is just behind the teaching hospital

afol4dam: Do dental and medical students follow the same trends on campus...i means stuff like exams,posting,practicals etc. Thanks for answering.

Yeah, I believe dental students go thru anatomy, physiology, pathology, maybe biochem and pharm shaaa...

They surely won't do O&G, paediatrics and others... They concentrate on dental surgery, dentistry, dental pathology and stuff like that...

Finally, its just 5yrs, not 6yrs like med school

........Dental students also use 6 years same as medical students

afol4dam: ........Dental students also use 6 years same as medical students

Six years I thought it was 5yrs faa!!!

Well, we are still doctors shaa, dentist or medic

Can a dentist after indution change over to a medical doctor?

afol4dam: Can a dentist after indution change over to a medical doctor?

Can a civil engineer change over to an electrical engineer after graduation?

Can a CARpenter repair my CAR??

Can bruce willis act in a yoruba film

If the answer to the above questions is YES... Then try using a dental drill to do an exploratory laparotomy!!!!
