Slimdan360:
is it true that AAU has lost their medicine accreditation?

tomiwaaa:


oh that's great. I'm planning to go on Monday too. but pls are you sure the office will open? because of all this pandemic brouhaha.
Also, not writing the UTME will not be a problem to conversion right?

drvt:

Hello house! does UNILORIN offer Dentistry and Dental Surgery?
by the way,is it possible for one to cross from 200L Pharm to 200L BDS/MBBS via D.E

Pls guys with this pandemic issue rising everyday is it possible for any school to admit at all or conduct any post utme this year or any screening cox most has not even attended to their admitted 100level students.

Because I chose UI if they decided to use jamb and Olevel I might not stand a good chance.

Maybe switching to UDUSOk or any university that make use of jamb score. My jamb score is good.

Decisions?

Please, treat as Urgent.

I am considering studying for another bachelor's degree in Dentistry. I would be applying for DMD programs in Europe, most likely, Romania, Hungary or similar EU countries due to Degree recognition in other EU/Western/Nothern European countries.

I was initially interested in medical school and pursuing a Plastic Surgery Residency. But I don't really like medicine. I don't want to practice as a General Practitioner and the odour from the Vaginas of the average ~Nigeria~ girl (read girls ) would make anything OnG related hard for me. More over, everywhere I look, Getting into a Plastic Surgery Residency is very hard. If I don't get a spot, I am sure I won't enjoy medicine.

I choose dentistry after carefully researching the field. I wouldn't mind practising as a General dentist, but I would prefer specializing. I tried research the Residency requirement for ORAL AND MAXILLOFAXIAL SURGERY in Nigeria and I could not get any information.

Could someone please help?? Do I need just a Dental degree to become an omfs in Nigeria as it is done in Northern Europe and in some US programs??

Or would I also need a medical + dental degree like in the UK and everywhere else.

Thanks for your time.

MrEgghead:
A degree is required for Direct entry...You can only transfer..I don't know how it works in Ilorin but you can always transfer from one program to another...You must have completed your Pharmacy program before D.E.

Hi, currently in Nigeria you only require a degree in Dental Surgery (BDS/BChD) to be able to enter residency(NPMCN or WACS or both) in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

* NPMCN: National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria grants the FMCDS,

* WACS: West African College of Surgeons grants the FWACS

However, striving towards double qualifications does no harm, as this is fast becoming the standard.

In the UK, Oral Surgeons are ≠ Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Hence, one requires only a Dental Degree to become an Oral Surgeon in the UK while one requires dual qualifications to become an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon.

DharmieDhrey:



Alright but does a fresh dental graduate get dual degrees to become an OMF??

DharmieDhrey:


So does that imply one has to finish with Pharm and crossing to MBBS? would one be in 200L? Sorry if my questions are too much. lastly,would the degree be "retracted" after doing so?

Thank you. Do you know how competitive it is?? Is it easier to match into omfs compared to Plastics??

MrEgghead:
Your Pharmacy certificate will still be valid.
you'll start from 200L as a Direct entry candidate.

DharmieDhrey:


Thanks Boss. Last question, I don't think one would be able to practise Pharm while in Med school. Is this true?

MrEgghead:

Xandre:
I doubt if The Pharmacy Cert can be used as gateway for DE into Medicine.

MrEgghead:
it can be used.
