the most expensive school I ever saw......haba, u ar not helping matters at all by saying low tuition fee.

There are those who aspire to study in the US to earn MD degree but cant afford the living expenses and exurbitant school fees in US but can still manage if they are offered something less costly. Also there is scholarship that covers part tuition in this school. This school is still affordable by some on this thread and outside of this thread.
It offers a great opportunity to enter the health system overseas.

Today(9/10/14),the 2006 EBSU set of medical students were inducted.Out of about 110 students in the class,69 passed the Final professional exam and were inducted today.what was shocking to me was that,the over best graduating student is a FEMALE.while I was still recovering from the cardiogenic shock this information caused,I discovered that out of the best 10 graduating students, 8 are females.
This brought back old memories.Recently we just finished our 2nd professional exam,out of 4 students that had distinctions,I was the only male.
This taught me a lesson.Never underestimate the power of a woman!


Congratulations to the newly inducted doctors.

Congrats dear
In your first year, your secondary school textbooks on Math(F/Math), Physics, Chemistry, Animal Environmental Biology and Botany(Both biology) should be enough to get you started for now. Although, books for these courses written by the School are also available but with your secondary school textbooks, you're good to go for now

GST books are available only at the school...

The 2006 set in my school just finished housemanship with all the strikes.
2007 set were inducted 4 months ago.

And in my opinion, they overstayed. So EBSU's case was on the extreme given the accreditation suspension.

I am an obvious victim of strikes in Nigerian University. When I began 400 level in August 2012, our Faculty slated our date of graduation for May 2015. But between then and now we've had an 8 month ASUU strike, a 2 month NMA strike which will prolong the calendar by almost a year.

I believe there is a management insensitivity in the administration of most Colleges of Medicine in this regard. We can't keep spending 8 to 10 years in school to study a 6 year course on the flippant excuse of strikes. When it comes to strikes, other students in other departments are barely affected - unless the strike is very long. In my school, the VC cut short all holidays to 2 weeks. What is the result of that? Folks that were admitted with me on 4-year courses have been shortlisted for nysc, those on 5 year courses are rounding up. And my brother that was admitted into the Faculty of Engineering when I was in 400 will be graduating with me.

My point is other departments have a way of getting their academic calendar back on track despite the strikes- but not medicine. We don't run semesters. We run stretches of sessions without holidays and our sessions lasts from 13 - 15 months on the average (18 months for preclinicals). So these strikes shouldn't be affecting us. There should be some kind of waiver. Or they should come up with strategies to avoid involvement in these strikes.

I have to mention that CMUL has made so much progress in this regard. I have friends in cmul. Between my 400 and 500, my 200l friends in cmul then are now in 400l. And all of us have had the same strikes. We keep spending 8 years in school and soon some people will get tired. The motivation factor is very important. Besides, there's more to life than spending endless years in med school.

When you are inducted, you are given a temporary license which is valid for two years. You should do your housemanship within this period or risk writing your final exams again.

After that, you go for nysc. Your permanent license comes after nysc. So I won't advise anyone who just graduated to run outside. Make sure your feet is stable in your home country before we start hearing stories that touch the lumbar spine.

In Nigerian medical schools, females stand at a more advantage than the males. This is a fact! Male medical students have to work harder. It's better experienced than explained - those that are already in clinicals understand this. Those that are not yet in clinicals, when you get there pay close attention to how your MALE consultants and the residents teach/treat your female classmates- contrast it to how you are taught/treated even when you're eager to learn.

Lets not even go there- don't you see how eager your seniors in school are eager to pass acada stuff, lecture materials, past questions to your female classmates?. When you go to meet them, they start talking about Man United and Goodluck Jonathan. It's already a male-dominated profession so you know the drill. It's not a level playing ground for everyone.

I can still remember my Pathology viva voce exam, my female classmates were telling me the questions they were asked. I was like wtf!! When it was my turn to tell them my own, they said I didn't pray. But we all passed the exam - some of us had to work harder.

At this point I rest my case. I'm not saying female medical students do not study - of course they do. But when it comes to the little things that make the big difference, they're more advantaged. Thank God for the internet and YouTube- it would have been worse.

Alutacontinua, how was your surgery? I mean your gender-swap surgery. Hope it was successful. You're showing signs of complications grin grin
