Naijamericana:

Starting compensation for new anesthesiologist graduate - $250,000 - $300,000
Highest compensation that I know of - $5,000,000.00 (5 million)

Naijamericana:

Board Certified Anesthesiologist with 7 years of private practice experience...Bros

phuck_NL:

Kindly subtract the average student loan of 300, 000 or more from the starting salary of the fresh graduates too.
I think its the net income that matters. The first few years, you're still servicing your loan.

Mr Knowitall:

so pretty much Nigeria is in bad shape and no one should move there?

Mr Knowitall:

charity begins at home? am not interested in charity am only interested in making money my friend.

Mr Knowitall:

yes you are right...life is just too precious to be spent in Nigeria.

Mr Knowitall:

I know plenty about Nigeria my friend.

rudedough:

Really? That's nice but could you please list your titles in ascending order.

Thanks

kidike: Op i really do not comment much on here but this one caught my attention because I am also thinking about relocating. However I must say that some of your comments are a bit ignorant. So are your responses to some questions. When you say something like life is too precious to be spent in Nigeria...what is that supposed to mean precisely?

The true question is are you really tryng to relocate or just started this thread to stir up issues. The reason i say that is you should think about some of your comments before puttng them in print. Some of them are just downright offensive. PM me and i will be more than happy to further discuss over the phone. I live in a suburb of chicago , il. Thanks

Naijamericana:

My state college loans debt - $10,000
Medical School Debt - $100,000

Still worth it in the end

Naijamericana:

Titles? Not sure what you mean...I just have one title...M.D.

Allohrandy: YES. It is worth it but getting admission into medical school is very competitive. The acceptance rate for most top tier medical school is like 3%. you need a stellar GPA of 3.8-4 point to even consider applying and a good recommendation. Health care sector is like a good mine and you are guarantee a good salary after medical school.

rudedough:





You know i hate liars.

I'm a medical practitioner and my titles are (MBChB, ~MPharm). Every medical student must know this.

An M.D is a Doctorate degree in Medicine (PhD) and there's no way you can achieve that title without earning these first (MBBS, MS, MCh before M.D)

So please tell us again, what do you do for a living?

Naijamericana:

BS (Bachelor of Science Biology)
MD (Doctorate in Medicine)
Diplomate American Board of Anesthesiology
Subspecialty Certification in Interventional Pain Management

Go to www.gaswork.com. Its an online job site for American anesthesia graduates and job seekers. They list job descriptions with salaries. Sounds like you where trained in a British system.

rudedough:

Please stop embarrassing yourself on the internet. When i asked for your titles to earn $500,000/yr, you said and i quote.



A PhD holder in Medicine don't know what titles mean in his field. Later you said "I just have one title...M.D". That was very stu.pid bro.

Now you have a "BS (Bachelor of Science Biology)" Are you serious? Are you sure you attended college? Cos as far as i know there is nothing like a "Bachelor of Science Biology" you can either have a Bachelor of Science or a "Bachelor of Science" with a major in Biology, i haven't seen or heard of any degree called "Bachelor of Science Biology".

Dude you really need to get yourself a life before you regretI got your email. I will call you next week to discuss the next steps. it on your deathbed.

Naijamericana:

Bro, you really are funny. Well I will not argue with you. I am not sure how its dine in Naija or UK but you obviously dont know the difference between a PhD and MD in America. What the hell is an MBBS anyway?

All your degrees will not allow you to practice in America, so stay where you are!

Funny guy...you should be on TV...bad belle is a disease...get it checked out!

I'm going to stop this argument, it's not worth my time. But again you've contradicted yourself.

M.D - Doctor of Medicine which is a PhD degree.

MBBS/MBChB - Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery.

Just look at who has an M.D degree does not know that an M.D is a Doctorate degree? A SUPER-Specialty Degree.

Goodluck with your M.D degree and your $500,000/yr salary in the USA.

I'm an Engineer o so I May not know much about this but dont u think he's probably right?since d British medical syllabus is very very diffent from d American Medical course system..for example my cousin had to get a Bsc in Biochemistry before she could study medicine in d US and another friend was told he couldn't practise in d US despite having a Medical Degree from Nigeria...it makes us see they are just two courses with same name but practiced differently in some countries

myOGAonTOP: Before you come back FINALLY, i will advise you to take a month off and enter into the country. Keep a low profile and make your own deductions and conclusions. Moving back is such an important lifetime decision that MUST NOT be made based on hearsay. Come See for yourself . Thanks.

I don't want to argue with him anymore but since this is coming from someone else, I will clarify. This has nothing to do with degrees, he simply doesn't know the basics of a medical career/qualifications and that puts him under my radar.

I was impressed when he said he earns $500,000/yr as an Anesthesiology, but i wanted to be sure so i asked his 'titles in ascending order'. But he said 'he doesn't know what that means', but he has 'only one title M.D'.

Please note that an M.D is a Super-Specialty degree in Medicine and it's the same both in the US and the UK. You can google that up cos i just checked.

Now before you earn that degree in any Medical field, you must have acquired at least 2 other titles, which in his field is likely to be (MBBS, MCh, before D.O (Optional), M.D and if he chooses to go further he can get a DM). These titles are the same with the US accredited medical professional titles.

In his previous text, he got confused between an M.D and a PhD. He said "you obviously dont know the difference between a PhD and MD in America".

An M.D is a PhD degree. So how can someone who has an M.D not know that he acquired an M.D after his Doctorate degree?

Look at the facts yourself, i don't know what Engineers get for their specialty courses but a PhD holder in Engineering not knowing that he got his PhD after his Doctoral program is an embarrassment.

Naijamericana:

My state college loans debt - $10,000
Medical School Debt - $100,000

Still worth it in the end

phuck_NL:

The average debt is a lot higher than that (300k or more). I know it's worth it, i'm just saying that we shouldn't omit the fact that the first few years are used in paying off debt.

Naijamericana:

True...I have friends with higher levels of debt. Like the op I have investigated on relocating back to Naija myself, you know to give back a little. Who knows what's going to happen with obamacare. There's a surgery center in VI that I may want to work with, here is the link
