hello nairalanders,, i have being thinking of this for a long period of time and think that it will be wise to share with u.. the question is that, medicine and surgery as a course has a lot of specialties such as: gynaecology/obstetrics, internal medicine, paediatrics, psychiatry, community medicine, pathology and many more... pls which of this speciality is marketable in nigeria, has a lot of monetary rewards(LMAO no blame me, cos am an igbo guy.. we love money oooo ) and of cos not stressful..please my fellow nairalanders pls reply my post urgently... will be glad u did..

Internal medicine like in other countries is supposed to be the most well paid because it's broad like it covers a bit of every other field and u also have to specialise e.g in endocrinology etc after your part 1 exams if and when you pass. N/B: internal medicine is the most stressful but it's truly worth it. You will have this satisfaction in you,that you're able to heal a patient who has exhausted every other option and labelled an 'emergency'. Also,there's a big room for research and development. So many untapped fields waiting for who's interested and passionate enough.

For me,follow your heart and what really interests you as a doctor. The money flows whatever field you are in as a consultant, but you have to trust me that it's not an easy route to get there.

But community medicine,its a no no for me. Personally,i dont fancy it in this country for doctors.
