my stand hasn't changed, study medicine in good federal school like UCH, LUTH... However, it is impressive they do clinical rotations in foreign countries where they will be exposed to rare clinical cases and astounding healthcare delivery. However, if they begin real clinical practice then we can judge in the next five years if Babcock has churned out good doctors. Good one anyway!

..To be a good doctor is basically a personal decision..The above federal schools are wonderful but I know colleagues who finished from them who are not what you expected and I also know about colleagues from the so called private universities who are excelling..Am talking from experience bro...Due to the harsh economy people are easily annoyed and envious towards anyone or association associated with wealth(in this case expensive Babcock university )

The person that posted that picture just finished the whole discussion... I mean,look at the reception! One thing is basic,I'm a medical student, i respect any doctor anywhere, anytime...but i cannot compare the graduates of MBBS from a federal school (like mine) to one from a private school...for one reason,STRESS!...The number of people in thay reception isn't even up to what we have on a boring day in Family medicine... They don't stress..no wahala...dey just ease through.. And it can't pay them in d real life...trust me...we've seen 'em...worked with 'em...and they ain't it

IssyGenius:

let us stop deceiving ourselves in public medical schools... who you told we are better of? Is it the high rate of failure in MB exams that will make us a good doctor? will the undue harshness of consultants make us empathic as healthcare professionals?

Yes it is called BUTH. Just come to the school and see for yourself, so you can stop saying things you don't know

But it still bores down to money....

I didn't say anything I didn't know. I simply asked a question.
I can see they have a teaching hospital now which is a step in the right direction.
There'll still be many problems.
1. They won't be able to afford as many consultants as there are in Govt hospitals.
2. There's no residency programme so there won't be residents available to do bedside teaching when the consultants are not there (students usually have more contact with residents than consultants)
3. This is a private hospital and patients will pay good money. They won't allow some medical students to touch them anyhow unlike in govt teaching hospitals where students have almost unlimited access to patients. You can't learn medicine well without interacting with patients.
These students will most likely end up like the ones who come back from Ukraine knowing very little and have so much catching-up to do in real practice.
This situation is however nobody's fault. We'll get things right with time.

No ma'am... I'd rather learn where i can fit in anywhere.. I assure you..after 4yrs in UITH that i can fit in anywhere,work with anyone and be a sucess..because i've learnt to make the best of myself when the conditions weren't the best,I've had to push myself beyond limits to learn pharmacology because i know my father's millions can't buy me promotion to the next level....abt the patient interaction.. We like in Nigeria, we don't have facilities... Imagine a farmer working with blunt tools...u think he's happy??

JustHere2Observ:


Well ok, I just believe stress is not a good factor when learning and you dont have to go through stress for you to be able to fit in anywhere in the world. I just hope things change for better for the younger generation.

Some private universities teaching hospitals do residency programs like BinghamUniversityTeachingHospital.

In Psychiatry? Ophthalmology? Neurosurgery? Medical/Surgical Oncology? All the arms of laboratory medicine? Neonatology? Infectious Diseases? What's the total population of residents? How many units in each dept?
Let's assume this one is even not a problem, what of the others?
The truth is that there's no way they'll have as much clinical exposure and confidence as those trained in govt teaching hospitals.

femi4:
Unnecessary info, not related to the question

nijanigga:

yeah, it's still a fact for public consumption.

At the end of the programme,one would not develop one head than the other.....Abi?
