You are highly welcome to this noble profession, first your 100 level courses depending on your institution will be basically advanced O level courses, physics,Chemistry, mathematics, botany and zoology then General studies ( content varies from one university to another )
Then in your 200level that is when you start the journey proper, you will be taking courses in anatomy, physiology and Biochemistry and introductory medlab courses, at this stage proper and adequate studies are required because anatomy courses (gross, embryology, histology ) plus numerous biochemistry pathways are not a child's play , physiology is quite easier to some extent. With proper and adequate planning you should scale through unscathed.

300 level is when you move to the department fully and also your clinical lab posting starts in the teaching hospital, 400 level you write your first professional exam end of the session which you must attain 50% cumulative score to move to final year , the professional exam consist of MCQ ( 600 and above in less than 1hr ), practical in all fields (histopath, clinical chem, Haematology, Parasitology, medmicro etc) and finally the Almighty Viva (oral exam) , students who attain the benchmark cross to the final year while those who are unable to repeat the level irrespective of all other courses passed.
500 level is the terminal year with project and final professional exam in 2nd semester which is same pattern with the 1st except the student will only take the exam for his or her specialty ( you are require to specialise either in histopath, chempath, haematology or Microbiology in final year and your posting will be to only your specialty in final year)..

I guess I have been able to give a concise breakdown of the department to you, by the way am still a student just crossed to penultimate year.

thanks a lot. I love just.

Truth is just read and strive to be the best. It's not easy, you won't have time for yourself as so many will be screened out and many dropped along the line but hey those courses are not child's play.

Just get past 100l without being screened out then you are good to go. From 200-500l the courses are very demanding. Get textbooks and read coupled with your lectures especially pathology, Anatomy, biochemistry, Medical Microbiology, physiology, pharmacology etc etc (These are really demanding cos you may have more than 4 lecturers taking dem).
Imagine ur first professional is all you have been doing from 100-400l with more than 500 MCQ, the practical aspects (all encompassing) and viva which you must pass or repeat dat year (regardless of whether you passed the semester exam).

All the best and if the curriculum doesn't change before you are through good luck.

they've said it all above....... All I'll say is just make sure you try to scale through 100level, alot of students would be dropped.......And SIMPLIFIED and nelsx, thanks for for making me understand what we expect from 300level to final year......Am a 200level MLS student, would be in 300level soon

sorry, you can't write post ume of any university with 174. The least is usually 180 for State Universities, prepare well and take JAMB again next year. And SLT is different from MLS incase you are not aware
