They are paid higher because the spend more years in school, coupled with the fact that their course is very demanding.

The Medical sector have been able to contain the spread of Ebola and lassa haemorrhagic fever. That enough thing to boast of

Dmls? Chia! chairman be truthful small abeg. I wonder why these med lab guys always like lying. una be Liar Muhammad? yoy always like comparing yourselves with the med Dr's and pharmacist's why in actual fact only God knows what you people are doing. In terms of everything you don't come close to these people you compare yourselves with. even in school you don't undergo the stress they go through. I blame the pharmacists for joining that illegal union called JOHESU. While medical and pharmacy students are always occupied with their studies in school, you guys are always busy chasing men and women or attending parties. student nurses do more work than you self. Dmls my foot.

chiefmidwife:
Am a nurse/midwife..I undertook more than 50 deliveries within 3months in my nysc..
I worked more than any corper doctor in my hospital ppa but received little while corper doctors earn the money 95k+
I think there is injustice/discrepancy in nigerian scheme of service..this is exactly what is going on now in nigerian hospitals..if you are nt a doctor you are nothing..it's nt like that abroad..
Even if doctors spend 10yrs in university they are serving nigeria and everybody serving nigeria should receive the same pay

cassie29:
its funny how you guys reason..on average doctors spend 7+years in school plus 1 year intership then service and are exposed to various hazards eg lassa fever ,Ebola and They are still expected to treat ...A corp member died in kaduna because of this same lassa fever.would you willing risk your life for 19,800?
Besides most doctors earn close to 200k before service so going for service to collect 50k is a serious sacrifice..its never too late to go back to school if it affects you 2 much

Then I suppose the military should be paid a million a month,going by this explaination... Listen,u cannot pay a corp doc 150k,nd pay an engineer 5k under the same system created for unification,equality and exposure... What msg r u passing to every other area of specialization?? That we r worthless,because we only spent 5yrs studying engineering?? Trying to better the dwindling fortunes of our existence in the 21st century? Fyi,we build basically gadgets and devices meant to AID the work of yol docs much better.. Am sure it wud hv been fair if you docs only had your hands and ur books to work wif,no stetoscope,no oxygen tanks,no anaesthetics,no nufin... I dey vex!

milky3:

not a medical student but a science laboratory student
thks u look good too

jubebaister:
The difference is much. See what Sokoto state now pays...

Corper doctors 50k (No wonder every science student wants to study med surge)
Pharmacists 25k (When d above fail, they resort to pharmacy or optometry)
Nurses/Medical Technicians 15k
Social sciences/Humanities 5k ( ) Chai!!

See gapppp.

Femmysneh:
I wonder why it goes that way. It shdnt be so. Others past through universities. And that is why we have some uncalled problems concerning our academic sector. Everybody wants to be called a university graduant thereby neglecting polytechnics,colleges of education and monopolys. Every kids want to be a doctor. I think its high time we cancelled the University Education.

drered:
What you have to understand is it takes a whole lot to become a Doctor /Pharmacist. A Doctor /Pharmacist spends an average of 6/5 years in school. Then they proceed to do their one year housemanship /internship during which their net salary is an average of 120-200k. Apart from the heavy responsibility they have the idea is the increased pay as relative to other Corp members is a way to cushion the sharp drop in earnings during the youth corps. That aside the government can do a whole lot more for Corp members from other discipline..

Drdonzeez:
you've only spoken out of point nigga.And what's your problem with Dmls?when pcn started the issue of pharmD,what did you do?And how dare you say pharmacists or doctors work more than the lab scientists,when ofcourse If you're mature enough, you should know there's always relativity.

croSStodds:
I don't get,how is it 1/20?yours is 6yrs while hers is 5yrs,A year difference doesn't make it one-twentieth of it nah.I totally agree with the fact it's kind of inferior to medicine,but that difference in relativity is just too much.

Querty:


Pharmacists are also paid higher than other corpers...but Doctors r paid more...im a Pharmacist so I wld know.

but why are lawyers ,pharmacists, med lab scientists who spent 6years , even Engineers who spent 5 years with tedious work are not paid like dat?

rotimileke:


right from the classroom to the hospital you know deep within you that they work more than you do. on relativity you should have known that you are not on the same scale.
If not in Naija have you ever seen a laboratory scientist comparing himself with a Dr or a pharmacist's?
I've seen a number of them boasting even with their defective knowledge of physiology and biochemistry that they can handle a patient when they know nothing about pathology, pharmacology, toxicology and therapeutics. A nurse is more clinically sound than you are.
I was reading in the common room and one of them approached me challenging my knowledge of pharmacology. I asked her a simple question on the first line drugs used in the management of malaria in Nigeria and she said ACT. I then asked what ACT was and she said tetracycline. I'm a pharmacist and because I want a greater responsibility and role as regards the patient, I got into medical school. Everyone is important in patient care but some comparison are baseless.

rotimileke:


When you say pharmacist's I understand but architects? are they saving life and do they run call? allow the medics to be please.

obynaDmob:
.

Please note that in sokoto, optometrists were being paid the 36k dey pay medical doctors and dentists. Meaning dey wud take home 50k with the new increment. Remain blessed.

nelszx:


You claim dey do nothing yet ur Pathologists want to do what dey are doing isn't that sheer hypocrisy? Besides DMLS has been running in neighbouring Ghana for years now even in the US and other countries so don't talk out of point. The curriculum is being reviewed by the NUC for starting up.

Querty:


ok!!

but why are lawyers ,pharmacists, med lab scientists who spent 6years , even Engineers who spent 5 years with tedious work are not paid like dat?

rotimileke:


keep on deceiving yourself. A pathologist is a specialist doctor not a laboratory scientist.
As for the Dmls, anything that will lead to improved patient care is welcome but not when you can't even run your bmls. you lack the facilities and personnel. Most of the universities running bmls now have their licence withdrawn by the NUC. Only your council is kicking so i don't know where you are coming from by saying that the curriculum is being reviewed for start up.

Doctors actually spend 8+x, years in school,..Uniben med/den school as case study...
