omonnakoda: What does any of that have to do with Pharmacy
Did you miss out clinical pharmacology and therapeutics?
pharmacy, the science and art concerned with the preparation and standardization of drugs.
Pharmacists are responsible for the preparation of the dosage forms of drugs, such as tablets, capsules, and sterile solutions for injection. They compound physicians’, dentists’, and veterinarians’ prescriptions for drugs. The science that embraces knowledge of drugs with special reference to the mechanism of their action in the treatment of disease is pharmacology.

In other words they both deal with drugs while one formulates it the other places more emphasis on its effects or interactions in humans.

They are not workers they are apprentices. They cannot treat patients in their own name or independently but ONLY UNDER SUPERVISION. What is a permanent practising licence. Young man please be quiet and stop talking rubbish.
If we accept that they are training then the issue of strike should not come up.Why do they strike more than the consultants who are the REAL EMPLOYEES
A document that enables you practice as a professional in a field e.g medicine pharmacy etc independently.
In other words a doctor can decide to open a hospital and employ nurses, pharmacists, lab technicians etc.

you have just displayed how ignoramous and egocentric you can be,so for the mere. fact that you did 6months or so pharmacology makes you better than a pharmacist that did it for over four years,your shallow reasoning does not you allow reason that mere laboratort posting does not make equal to the scientist, you need to understand that you field is diagnosis,stick to it and stop sending our loved ones and friends who come to the hospital as patients to early grave with your shallow knowledge of other professions and your "i know it all" attitude bcecause you do not know it all
There you go again with sentimental misinformation and misquoting.
Pharmacology as a medical student runs for a minimum period of twelve months.
Residency as a doctor in clinical pharmacology / Therapeutics runs for 4 to 6 years.
Please i never said doctors are better than pharmacists at being pharmacists cause that is just ridiculous.

In Nigeria?, You are one of the most ignorant people I have encountered.Sadly you know not and know not that you know not
Any person, doctor or not, can open a hospital if they fulfil the requirements. Person is used in the legal sense and so can be an individual ,association,company etc this includes entities such as Church,Mosque, Bank, Tailor or Farmer or fisherman.

. He is a clown and knows very little. Truth is Nigerian doctors in their training have no clue how to work with pharmacists collaboratively. They do not know what hospital pharmacy is all about and how it can help them
It is an intrinsic part of Nigerian medical training to hear the phrase "doctors are the head of the medical team" creating an egoistic arrogant bunch.Often they come in for a huge culture shock when they travel abroad to find that thinking is outdated and the world has moved on.

Such ignorance.
Do pharmacist get any training in handling patients. The work of the pharmacist starts primarily in ur pharmaceutical companies and spills over to the hospital in as much as pertains to dispensing drugs.
The squables of pharmacist fighting over control of hospital and all the other paramedics does not come up because they all know there is more money in the pharmacutical companies than the hospital itself.
There is no where a pharmacist changes the write up of a patient and your so called 6 months training is all what the doctor needs to have an idea of the drugs he's prescribing.
A doctor doesn't claim to have a better idea of pharmacology than a pharmacist but the pharmacotherapy.
Nobody gets any training in handling poison.
A poisioned patient presents at the hospital to a Doctor not a pharmacist my son.
I have the highest respect for a pharmacist cos we're all professional colleagues.....
Read up the word paramedics and understand the meaning of the word medical laboratory technologist(called medical lab scientist in Nigeria)
All these other disciplines you're clamouring for we're brought up by Doctors to help them...Medical Lab Science dint arise by default....they were initally hospital assistants traind by Doctors to ASSIST.

do not abuse. doctors need knowledge of. pharmacology for them to prescribe. pharmacists prepare and dispense drugs. and in drug clinical trials pharmacists and doctors work as a team. pharmacists need doctors and vice versa. my only problem with pharmacists is that they do not allow pharmacologist to open pharmacy whereas in australia pharmacologist can open pharmacies.

but that does mean lab scientists should push pathologists out of laboratiries. in usa pathologists still direct laboratories. why lab scientists are arrogating lab to themselves? it is not fair. pathologists and scientists play dinstinct roles in laboratories.

all these problems are caused by earlier doctors who lack vision. in legal profession,paralegal workers have no recognition. legal profession is not fragmented as medical. my advice to doctors this is competitive world. and doctors will soon loose the monopoly over the healthsector. allied health workers are growning worldwide and will soon overshadow doctors. doctors must learn not to be overdepedent on allied health workers( nurses and pharmacists exclusice). they should team up with pharmacists and nurses to reposition health sectors.

esidency programs for doctors
need funding
March 2, 2013|By Nina Radcliff
What is the point of providing health
insurance to all Americans if you do
not have doctors available to take care
of them? It is unclear if health care
reform "forgot" to fund physician
training due to poor planning, kicking
the can down the road, or political
prowess given the already huge price
tag that the American taxpayer must
bear. Without action now, we will face
a shortage of more than 90,000
doctors by 2020.
A doctor's training takes over a
decade. It includes attaining a four-
year undergraduate degree before
attending another four years of
medical school. Then, depending on
the specialty field of medicine, an
additional three to seven years of
training are required, known as
graduate medical education (GME), or
residency.
Medical schools have been able to
proactively develop an action plan to
increase admissions by 2016. This is
because the costs will be covered by
the student's tuition.
Increasing the number of residency
training spots, however, requires an
act of Congress both literally and
figuratively. These spots are paid by
The Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS), a taxpayer
funded entity. CMS pays an average of
$100,000 per resident per year and
has an annual price tag of $9.5 billion.
If Congress does not act fast, we will
have medical school graduates who
cannot finish their training. The
American Medical Association
describes this as a "bottleneck" that
will occur as early as 2015.
Residency positions need to be
strategically created. Doctors are more
likely to settle and practice in the
geographic area where they do their
residency training. Thus, regional and
state-specific needs should be
identified. Every state has a vested
interest in creating additional
positions or programs.
With the country's financial health in
critical condition, one may ask is this
really necessary? The answer is an
absolute "yes." Achieving equitable
access to quality health will require an
adequate supply of intelligent, hard-
working and highly trained physicians.
But it requires a capital investment.
Most physicians pay Uncle Sam six
figures a year. Within a few years, they
will have "paid off" what was invested
into their training. Doctors are also
frequently small business owners and
employ at least three to five
employees to run their clinic.
Physicians need to contract with
several businesses to provide services
(e.g. billing, information technology,
marketing).
By funding residency training
programs today, we will reap
dividends down the road.
Dr. Nina Radcliff is a member of the
American Medical Association and
American Society of Anesthesiologists
in New Jersey.

How residency programs are
funded
By Janet Lavelle 06:00p.m. Jul 9, 2011

Training doctors as a shortage looms
Physician compensation, by specialty
Paying primary care doctors
Since the 1960s, Medicare has paid
for a substantial portion of medical
residency programs. But in 1996, it
limited the number of residents that
would be funded to that year’s total,
preventing any significant expansion
of training programs since that time.
Today, there are 110,000 doctors in
residency training programs
nationwide.
About $12 billion a year is spent on
training, with Medicare covering about
$3 billion in direct costs. Other funds
comes from clinical revenues, grants
and other support.
As Medicare and Medicaid payments
continue to fall below the actual cost
of providing care, “that clinical
revenue stream, we think, will get
tighter and tighter, making it harder
for teaching hospitals to pay for more
trainees,”said Dr. Atul Grover, chief
advocacy officer for the Association of
American Medical Colleges.
Federal funding works this way:
•The Direct Graduate Medical
Education program uses a funding
formula based on expenses, number
of Medicare patients at a training
hospital and number of resident
trainees, all based on 1996 caps.
•The Indirect Medical Education
provides money to teaching hospitals
in recognition of the higher costs
involved in training doctors. The
formula calculates the number of
residents using 1996 caps, multiplied
by per-resident funding set by
Congress that has fluctuated over
time. Medicare pays $6.5 billion a year
through this program.
•Pediatric residencies at children’s
hospitals get funding from the
Children’s Hospital Graduate Medical
Training Program. The $300 million
program was cut by $48 million this
fiscal year as part of deficit reduction,
Grover said.

level playing field for all
Re: Resident Doctors Begin Nationwide Strike Action Today by Nobody: 3:04pm On Jul 02, 2013

level playing field for all

there is level playing field for all. the only problem is many are not satified with their position in life. complaints never solve problems. most people have low self-esteem that is why they feel they are not appreciated. there would always be inter and intraprofessional harmony in nigeria not only in health but in all fields of life. why? lord lugard wrote in his book dual mandate page 78 about nigerias and africans.
" in character and temperament, the typical African
of this race-type is a happy, thriftless,
excitable person, lacking in self-
control, discipline, and foresight.
Naturally courageous, and naturally
courteous and polite, full of personal
vanity, with little sense of veracity,
fond of music and loving weapons as
an oriental loves jewellery. His
thoughts are concentrated on the
events and feelings of the moment,
and he suffers little from the
apprehension for the future or grief
for the past. His mind is far nearer to
the animal world than that of the
European or Asiatic, and exhibits
something of the animals' placidity
and want of desire to rise beyond the
state he has reached.
"Through the ages, the African
appears to have evolved no organised
religious creed, and though some
tribes appear to believe in a deity, the
religious sense seldom rises above
pantheistic animalism and seems
more often to take the form of a
vague dread of the supernatural. He
lacks the power of organisation, and
is conspicuously deficient in the
management and control alike of men
or business. He loves the display of
power, but fails to realize its
responsibility - he will work hard with
a less incentive than most races. He
has the courage of the fighting
animal, an instinct rather than a
moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and
defects of his race -type are those of
attractive children, whose confidence
when it is won is given ungrudgingly
as to an older and wiser superior and
without envy. Perhaps, the two traits
which have impressed me as those
most characteristic of the African
native are his lack of apprehension
and his lack of ability to visualize the
future"

there is level playing field for all. the only problem is many are not satified with their position in life. complaints never solve problems. most people have low self-esteem that is why they feel they are not appreciated. there would always be inter and intraprofessional harmony in nigeria not only in health but in all fields of life. why? lord lugard wrote in his book dual mandate page 78 about nigerias and africans.
" in character and temperament, the typical African
of this race-type is a happy, thriftless,
excitable person, lacking in self-
control, discipline, and foresight.
Naturally courageous, and naturally
courteous and polite, full of personal
vanity, with little sense of veracity,
fond of music and loving weapons as
an oriental loves jewellery. His
thoughts are concentrated on the
events and feelings of the moment,
and he suffers little from the
apprehension for the future or grief
for the past. His mind is far nearer to
the animal world than that of the
European or Asiatic, and exhibits
something of the animals' placidity
and want of desire to rise beyond the
state he has reached.
"Through the ages, the African
appears to have evolved no organised
religious creed, and though some
tribes appear to believe in a deity, the
religious sense seldom rises above
pantheistic animalism and seems
more often to take the form of a
vague dread of the supernatural. He
lacks the power of organisation, and
is conspicuously deficient in the
management and control alike of men
or business. He loves the display of
power, but fails to realize its
responsibility - he will work hard with
a less incentive than most races. He
has the courage of the fighting
animal, an instinct rather than a
moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and
defects of his race -type are those of
attractive children, whose confidence
when it is won is given ungrudgingly
as to an older and wiser superior and
without envy. Perhaps, the two traits
which have impressed me as those
most characteristic of the African
native are his lack of apprehension
and his lack of ability to visualize the
future"
The bolded is the major problem we face with all the allied health workers.
You clearly provided a link that shows the need for funding of doctors' training.
I clearly tried to point out the peculiarities of residency training.
However prejudice because of the bolded has blinded any reasoning.

many people are not satisfied with position in life, becuase that is not their REAL position.

many have have low self esteem and feel they are not appreciated, low self esteem is an individual thing,feel not appreciated becos if they were appreciated they wont feel not appreciated,they felt so because governance of health under medical drs. has a mission to keep them down while they reap the glory of thir hard work both in cash and otherwise
