Chartey: It's good you have this feeling now and not when you are already in. Some people are overconfident when they come in and they don't get to finish. Use your fear positively, be overcharged, prepare for jamb and waec like your life depends on it (well, it depends on it), get those high grades and you'll get admission. After that, get info from people ahead of you who've done it or are doing it. Proper orientation is more important than rugged studying. Finally,
the most beautiful part is that you don't need to be a genius to do it, you only need hard-work, discipline, and common-sense.
Good luck brother.

Joeself1: pls what does dentistry share with medicine

I want to study dentistry
but I want to know the process and what to expect if given admission

mentorandfriend: It is as the name goes. They are doctors that specialize in the study and care of the teeth. They can also perform surgeries in the maxillofacial surgery team, or alone in tooth extraction. Six years spent.

Joeself1:
thanks but is it as tedious as medicine?

hi. am a 200L DE student of MBBS unilorin. Pls i need notes and tips frm any unilorin 300level mbbs.

anonymousjbl:

I'm also a 200L MB;BS student, I also need such tips. However, I've made little research and have found out some info. (NB: there may be no study tips!!!!!)
1. Our MB;BS curriculum is divided into programmes: e.g in the first eight weeks of of 200L we'll do CBD(cell and body defence) and IBS ( Introduction to Body systems), in shaa Allah.
2. we'll write our first progressive assessment test as soon as we're done with the first 8weeks' programme, in shaa Allah.
3. we'll offer embryology(keith moore's developing human, Sadler's/Langman embryology are good texts), histology( basic or functional histology are good texts), gross anatomy ( Keith moore's COA, chaurasia's anatomy are good texts), biochemistry ( harper's, vasudevan's, etc. texts), physiology (ganong, guyton, semulingam physiology texts. note that the values in sembulingam are not acceptable in our school, however, it's a very simplified text to read) in the 200 Level, in shaa Allah.
4. I have the scheme of work, let me know if you need it!
P.S : there's still more to share.

Recently, the final MBBS results of my school was released. All of us approached the college's clinical building with fear to look at the notice board. You are never sure you've passed till you see the board.
Medicine is not for the chicken hearted. You need mental strength. It is a course you could spend years writing one exam after the other. Some give up on their own and change course.
I wish to share with you what I learnt from the medical school. Here we go.

1) SUCCESS IS GOALS.
On the night our final results were released, the Teaching Hospital environment changed. The city saw massive activities. Ladies and gentlemen gathered at cool joints to celebrate and be grateful for all the blessings life had bestowed upon them. In a certain joint, one cool guy, the wisest among us stood up in our midst and said, "Success is goals. All else is commentary"
We all nodded in agreement to his wisdom.
The exam that will take you by surprise is the one you didn't prepare for. Set goals for success.

4) NOT ALL PARAMEDICAL STUDENTS HATE MEDICAL STUDENTS; BUT THERE IS A HATE.
As a student, I enjoyed the friendship of nursing students, radiography students, medical labouratory students, and physiotherapy students. Those that like their course can give you so much fun. You can rub minds on any issue with them, from religion to romance. But there are bitter ones who wrote JAMB severally for medicine before they were offered something else. They refuse to like your pictures on facebook, and will never follow you back on twitter. When someone makes a snarl comment at you on facebook, they are the first to click like. How do you handle such people? Kill their power to hurt you by ignoring them. Get on only with the cheerful ones with healthy self esteem. They are extremely intelligent, and you can learn from them.
