To cross to MBBS, there are two things that you can do.
1.) You continue with the physiology and you write Jamb next year, then pick another school for medicine. The method gives better performance as you will be well versed in Advanced level Physics ,Chemistry and Biology since that is what you will be taught in 100level.
2.) You study hard so that you can be able to cross to 200level MBBS. Each school has a criteria that you must meet for you to cross to MBBS. In Unilorin for example, when a physiology student in 100level makes top 10 students in the class, he gets an automatic transfer to MBBS.
In UI, I think what they do is that you get 6.0 out of the 7points, although it still doesn't mean you have an automatic transfer.

Don't really know much about that aspect in UI, but Oluafolabi should be able to do justice to it.

Congrats on your admission !!

Hello there, Crossing is very possible.
You just have to work very hard and make a CGPA of between 6.0 -7.0.

You have to work extremely hard though.
Congrats on your admission

Mehn!! This is 9c. Thanks a lot. Did you just go straight to upper limbs or u read the introductory part of anatomy first?

from ur que, m guessin u are planning on usin keith moore. Well, i did both concurrently cos i learnt from senior colleagues dat both r done at d same tym in my school cos we use d regional approach. So my advice is get to ur campus nd meet ur seniors for advices. Also u wi need to ask wat textbuks ur lects prefer. For example i was told dat lects in my skul prefer Sembulingam over oda physio texts. Afta d first incourse, most pple who used gannong and guyton had low grades comparably. So moral of my long story is contact ur senior colleagues, dr experiences will help tremendously.

Top 10 Important Things Nigerian
Medical Schools Do Not Teach Our Future Doctors-

Medical school is crazy! The expectations and demands placed on all admitted to medical school is daunting, and the path which must
be thread by all who seek to be certified as medical doctors is arduous. The sacrifice demanded by the training is one untold and it could even be worse if you are in a developing country like Nigeria. Yet it is a system proven over the years to efficiently transform naive high school graduates into members of
the noble profession of medicine.
However, there are certain important things that this training system has consistently failed to prepare its new doctors for. The medical training is so difficult many claim it is the most difficult course in the world to study yet with key deficiencies in the tools handed over to the new doctor. Let’s take a look at the 10 topmost important
things Nigerian medical schools do
not prepare their doctors for.

1. Your health is important:

You might think this will be emphasized to your doctors but alas it is not so.
The training lays emphasis on sacrifice in all forms especially self-sacrifice as
long as it is for patient care. Many medical students over time learn to think of their patients first rather
than themselves. They tell their patients to exercise regularly but are too busy
taking care of patients to even exercise once a month. When they are ill,
they are too busy to seek care from their colleagues as long as they still have
enough energy in them to work even if with considerate pain. Somewhere in the training, it gradually dawns on
medical students that they are supermen; they can work for 72hrs at a stretch, they do not need to exercise to keep fit, they do not even need to adhere strictly to medications to get
better when ill.

2. Health care is also a business and it must make profit. Now don’t get me wrong. Your doctors care about
you but every hospital which does not make profit will eventually run down
except it is externally financed. This is not hard to figure out. You would
think that medical training in Nigeria includes some management courses to
help prepare your doctors for this; it doesn’t. How do you price your hospital
services? How do you obtain financing for your hospital? They do not teach
them whether it is better to buy a Fresenius or Phillips equipment or whether getting it all from China is
the best. Your average medical student has no idea about any of these questions. He/she will have to figure it out over the years. Many give up
learning these as medical training doesn’t involve much of such non-
academic thinking.

3. Health laws:

Don’t be surprised. Medical training in Nigeria includes only occasional references to laws of the land that
affect their practice. For example, ask the average new doctor what laws
guide his roles as a passerby stopping to provide emergencies to victims of road traffic accidents and I bet you will
not get an informed response.. Medical students are not taught or made fully aware of the laws of the land that relate to their practice until they graduate
and they have to get used to the reality that there are laws that they must adhere to and so, they cannot take
decisions based only on their professional or moral discretion.

4. Don’t bury your talent:

I have met medical students/doctors who would do equally well or
even better if they were music artists, actors/actresses, writers, footballers or business analysts but do you know
what happened to them? Medical school. These talents got so unutilized
that they became rusty old tales. Chimamanda Adichie, author of ‘Half a Yellow Sun’ and now arguably Nigeria’s
most popular author in her generation, left medical schooI to focus on other
passions. Dr. Sid, popular Nigerian hip-hop artist, graduated from medical
school and Wale Okediran, author, politician and former member of the
federal House of Representatives, remains a medical practitioner. I have
heard doctors narrate how they were on the way to breakthrough with their
talents only to get caught up in the demands of medical school. Medical
school never told them talents need not be buried to survive medical school.

5. You will not remember many of what you read or knew in medical school in
years to come:

Medical school curriculum could be bewildering with courses ranging from the small details of organ-specific embryology and histology to the full clinical spectrum of organ-specific
diseases with emphasis on certain rare diseases. Medical schools emphasize
that you know everything but alas few years after, you are going to be left with
only hazy memories of many things you could spontaneously recall back
in medschool. I know some countries have realized this folly and are now making attempts to restructure the
curriculum but this remains partly controversial. Thank goodness for the Medical and Dental Council of
Nigeria (MDCN)’s now- mandatory attendance of medical update courses by practicing doctors in Nigeria as requirement for renewal of practicing licenses though. Doctors’ knowledge can now be regularly consolidated and
updated.

6. How not to marry a
none-health worker:

Don’t get me wrong. There is nothing bad in a doctor getting married to a doctor or a nurse or pharmacist or
lab scientist or any other health worker. All through medical school you are
constantly reminded you are most likely going to add up to the statistics and end up marrying a fellow health
worker. For those who do not desire this, don’t you think there should be some kind of elective course/coaching on how to go about this? You might not
agree but this definitelymakes my list of top 10.

7. Getting into medical school was tough? Getting into residency placement is more difficult:

All through medical school, medical students in Nigeria day dream of themselves as specialists – a good dream. What they are not told is
that there are so few training spots for
specialists’ training that it makes entering medical school looks like ‘butter and bread’. They are not taught
how to prepare for this bottle neck competition and many are dazed when they face the harsh realities of securing a training position especially in a society like ours where merit is relegated and most of the time ‘you have to have leg’.

8. How do you deal with pharmaceutical
representatives?

These are friends of all doctors but their
unrelenting marketing could be tiring. Do you decline their ‘gifts’ and lunch offers and prescribe medications as you please or do you cut personal
deals with them? Or do you just shut them out? Is there an established code
of conduct in this regard? Many final year students are not even aware they
ever have to make such decision. They learn that on the job.

9. You are not normal:

You gist while dissecting cadavers; you certify a patient dead and move on
straight to the next without even thinking about it; you see blood and don’t get nauseated; you reside in
the hostel with your non-medical friend and wonder why he is shocked to see a
human skull in your hands while you claim to be studying anatomy; and you
don’t see anything abnormal about yourself! One other thing medical
training fails to tell its students is that they are no longer normal like the
general populace.

10.
And lastly, I will leave number 10 open to you my reader; what important
thing do you think medical school failed to teach its students that should make this list?

DrHesjay and oda unilorin ogaz x madams in d ause.. pls is dere a way i cn get 200L PQs... especially Anatomy... and oga Hesjay... i finally did dt stuff we talked abt oo... met with d HOD and there's no wahala... just waiting fr d Form to come out... ps: it's deola... thanks in anticipation

Pls Sirs and Mas, to anyone hu could provide some enlightenment on diz issue, I would like to choose UNILORIN at JAMB for d next year registration, but wah baffles me is dah hw well do UNILORIN admit students hu ar not 4rm thr catchment area cos wat I hrd is dah it is smwat difficult for a non-muslim nd som1 nt frm thr catchment area to gain admission into the sch as d sch admits mostly Muslims?

PLS, WHAT ABOUT PHYSIOLOGY TO MEDICINE IN 'ZIK

FredBloggs:
from the bolded, I can assume that you still want MBBS. After getting into d "18months" programme, your BDS will be withdrawn from -yes, you can't eat your cake and have it-you and you will be given MBBS. best thing is, get a Jamb form now and leave the course for those who really desire it!

thanks for your answer . .but next time don't attack people based on a dumb conclusion you drew from an innocent post,thanks

this is an outgoin hot debate in my school. My view (may be biased) is that from d plain thoretical angle, Singh is more trustworthy (easier to crash-read 4 exams. Difiore is also a gud text bt I see it more useful as a guide durin practical sessions. As I said, I may b biased (I mainly use Singh).
