In line with the NUC's approval, we still need to work on our education sector so we can move it to the next level.

Instead of increasing d quality of training dey are busy increasing d duration of study.....no matter d number of hours u use take cook food food wey no go sweet no go sweet....mtchewww

Ok, they are going to approve Pharm D programme. That will give them the disparity they wanted. Politics and human lives.

Imagine o ,anyway am happy dt someone understand their shenanigans.Even to operate a faculty of a distinctive profession ; Medical Laboratory Science where D.MLS would be given,they (ducks) felt intimidated and dt flat head Okojie under the telepathic control of d ducks would be quick to issue ban.One thing dt is certain is dt d God that controls the season and time will surely deal with all of them at the appropriate time.

Hmm hee ho....a medical training thread....and they did not call me? Shocking!

1.)I spent over 6 years in medical school (no thanks to strikes)...so I think that if the seven year show was around during my time......

2) Well, I hope the extra year is to allow us spend more time in departments like ENT, Ophthalmology, Psychiatry, Public Health , and it ought to include two months rural posting. If not.....waste of time.

3) The major issue affecting medicos is the outdated syllabus and lack of facilities.Plus...they ought to train us on how to communicate better with patients (Not how to interview patients, how to communicate with them).We also need more medical schools....like five in each state with teaching hospitals (I have a dream! ).

4.)All in all...we need details of this seven year stuff. IMO.....they should spend more time on facilites and syllabus and less time on extending our stay in medical school. (Like sitting down and forming student, while your mates who read Painting are working in big banks, earning big kudi is not funny!)>

7 Years in Medical school Only to graduate as Native Doctors..



Meanwhile in UNIBEN, they spend 6 months and graduate as 'Witch Doctors'..

werey!

in Imo State, they stay for up to 11 years, i dont understand. calabar is tryingg at least u'll gradge with federal cert there. when imo state medical students went for peaceful protest what did they get- TEAR GAS!!!

Why are this people even wasting our time, knowing fully well that most of those that will graduate will still graduate as half baked medical personnels after spending those years

Our leaders misplace priorities. Extending years of medical training isn't the solution to the claimed problem. The quality of training and schemes of exposure is what should be worked upon. Extension of years in training unveils weekness if trainers. Not all those that repeated years in medical school automatically got better than those who finished ahead of them. The NUC should work on strategic training and mentorship of students into specialist training into postgraduate years. A lot of students spend more than this already.

Except hands-on experience is introduced into this 1year extension, I see it as unnecessary.

This guy, you and your beef with Uniben na real wa. Where you denied admission there or something?

Unnecessary exaggeration. How then about dentistry? It will amount to a catastrophe to spend 7years just to know how to take care of teeth. Upon graduating after seven years what will then be their title? OK prof. Goodluck to them

This pple juz wan fraustrate d youths by all means.... D half baked doctors wey manage graduate neva see work...dem still dey increase d years, useless country

You never hala.. Wait til year 2031 when I become President under APGA, I will close UNIBEN down in my first 48hours in office..

After I take my oath of office finish for Eagle Square, na UNIBEN matter I go table.

This is complete nonsense! If they like let them make it 20yrs it dosn't guarrantee quality doctors. Let them provide good facilites, 4yrs is enough to produce good and competent doctors. We travel to india for treatment, what is the duration of their medical students? 4yrs! Yet we do 6yrs and still travel to india for medical treatment. Who is fooling who? The problem here in nigeria is that we spend 6yrs doing theoritical aspect of medicine instead of practical aspect to perfect it well. So increasing the years will still have no affect.

Somebody need to tell dis pple dat is nt the number of years in school that mk u proficient but d quality of training. Medical education(including postgraduate) is mostly theory based wic is nt good for d system. Most medical stdents graduate and d only tin day know is stuff bt practical is zero. We can acheive four years of med skull if we incoperate more practical based courses and more postings. This also goes with med lab(5yrs), Nursing(5yrs),pharmacy(5yrs).

You must really be a mad cow

But why the extra year when already they spend almost 2years due to lecturer strike actions and other non academic variables.This is not a smart decision if you ask me.

"Doctors" we've today are bunch of quacks! They've killed thousands in Nigeria.

Go ahead and study medicine (if you fit pass JAMB) here or anywhere .... maybe you will be able to correct the system. Don't bad mouth what you might not be able to achieve.

Pls, define this your "half baked".

People like you are the ones that come here to run mouth like you have cerebral palsy...You were obviously delivered by an unskilled midwife and I know you will take your wife there to deliver your children! No wonder your IQ is low

Pls, learn how to spew your trash on Social Media because the very genuine ones will feel slighted by your comments.

students of Imo State Uni spend nothing less than 10yrs.

ask them

This is too bad.

Why are our leaders always clueless like this? They decided to do something clueless because it doesn't cost them any money. What they are meant to do, they left it because it will cost them money. Selfish and inconsiderate leaders

Facilities and equipments are what we need not extra years you dumbwits!!!

All medical students should be on full government scholarship and should spend one year before graduation at a world class hospital in the UK, US, Canada, Israel, Cuba, Japan and Luxembourg.
