2. IN WHICH TEACHING HOSPITAL IN NIGERIA IS THE Associate of medical laboratory science of Nigeria Internship programme conducted?

pls i need urgent replys pls

BERNARD CAN I GET UR PHONE NUMBER PLS

Uyiwem,
Your best bet is to visit the Medical Laboratory Council Of Nigeria at No 8 Harvey Road, Yaba, Lagos. It is right behind the psychiatric hospital. You'll get enough authentic guide and answers to your querry.

Cheers.
You can reach me through 08058534772(text only pls)

Dayleke, how u dey my guy? Longest time!!! How are things with you? Really, i saw your posts along with Aturaka's but i experienced an "EXCITEMENT-INDUCED OVER SIGHT" when i was sending my post. More so, i wanted to be sure that the identity is that of my guy. Pardon the lapse anyway. Where you dey now, within or outside Naija? Your Easy Man dey for Lagos o. I'm always in touch with Ayo. He visited Naija briefly last month. I've lost contact with FM, Oyeee and others. Anyway, "i know say one day, the person wey miss and the person wey dey look for am go jam''. Seriously speaking, it's a great pleasure for reunion to have happened in this forum. Kudos to Benard08 for his foresight. Have a great day. God bless

Gud morn All,Hapi to be with you again,I,ve been away for a few days.Sorry to have kept you waiting.Easy,where are you hiding all this while,am so hapi to hear from you guys again.Am still in Lagos but I,ve change my job.You can contact me on this mobile line-08025956625 and email-otunbaturaka1964@gmail.com.My office is at Tisco Plaza,Alausa ikeja.
My greetings to all and Great Ifes expecially.

Thanks Benard08,
But am not residing in lagos.
I understand that graduates of Medical laboratory science undergo a one year intenship programme in some teaching hospitals, do any one know of any such hospitals?pls.

Hi Uyimen,if i can get you clear,you,re Microbiology graduate that want to become Med.Lab.Scientist.I feel the programme you,re talking about is about being concel if not stopped by now.I feel the council is saying that anyone that want to be part of us should go back to the university and enrol either thru prelim or direct entry like Medicine or Pharmacy ,even at the teaching hospital you are refering to it about 3 years intensive programme.Med.Lab.Science had gone a long way to be treated like a 'just' Profession.
Uyimen,if you have the love for the profession the number of year should not be a problem but a challenge.I wish you all the best.

Nice contribution there segunatu. That's why he was asked to contact the Med.Lab.Council Directly because the policy has been reviewed.

Uyiwem,
you can also contact school of medical lab. science, VOM, JOS

cheers

Thanks guys i appricate your wonderful and informative comments. Thanks

@ dayleke thanks for the comment. Happy reunion to u guys.
@ Benard Perhaps everyone has forgotten abt the query on the possibility of a woman to give birth to a set of twins from diff fathers. Well i need the blood samples of the babies, the mother and the fathers in question. A blood grouping test for the various blood groups such as the ABO blood groups, MNSs groups, the Rhesus grp, the Duffy bld grps, the Kidd bld grp, the Lewis bld grp, etc, and tests for secretor Genes will give me a lead on the next batch of tests to carry out. I can't say a yes or a no to that without running some tests. Abi wetin u think?

@chynenye,
thanx!it's really a reunion.you can never imagine the longest time i've seen or heard from these guys,they were ahead of me when we were in school of med.lab. and despite that they took us younger ones under their wings then.
where in naija r u practicing?

@Victor2009,
Easyman,it was nice hearing from u at long last.
last time i saw u was when i was still working @ fountain labs. for agege b4 my service(long time ago),how's d family now?i dey outside naija and so also a whole bunch of ex-students of smls ife.hit me at paracoli44@hotmail.com or dayleke@yahoo.com.

@segunatuu,
na wa for una o.
is it not that plaza that u see when u going on the bridge to the airport?
shall definitely call u,but i shall send a text 1st.

@uyimen,
don't despair,the journey of a thousand yrs starts with the first step.
when i went into the program some yrs back,only 2 or 3 universities were offering the program at BSc level and some pple used to make fun of us back then that we were not in a proper university but some of those pple still came back for their intership program at the teaching hospitals then to get their assoc. membership of the inst.
the program has gotten a face-lift now and it has come a long way from what i hear from pple unlike back in the days.like segunatuu said,if u really love the profession,those yrs shouldn't bother u.Good luck.

@benard08,
u r the man of the hour.
we on this forum owe u a lot.
why r u only taking txts on ur cell/mobile?
will like to communicate.
if i remember correctly while reading from one of ur sites,u mentioned going to school at UCH,is that right?
do u have ties to kwara state too?unilorin teach. hosp. to be specific?

Hi,
If you are reading this post and you are a medical laboratory scientist/technologist,why don't you join us by giving a shout out or leaving a comment and/or if you know somebody who is one,why don't you tell them about this forum?
There is a greatness in numbers.
Thanks.

dayleke, thanks for your text message. It is highly inspiring and I am humbled by the adulation. Never mind, I'll soon make myself available to hear your voice. Meanwhile, you can add me to your address book for instant messaging. My email is megastock14@yahoo.com

Yes. I graduated from U.C.H. in 1996 and presently a SNR. MLS at the pathology department, Unilorin Teaching Hospital.

@chynenye, thanks for minding the post on the unusual twins. Are those tests really enough for paternity testing?
