WELCOME TO DA CLUB!!!!! I promise u will hav an unforgettable experience as u start ur journey....

Since u r a fresher, u will resume 100L studying the basic sciences I.e physics, chemistry and biology, maybe maths (we don't do maths in unilorin). Then u spend the next two years (the preclinical years) studying the basic medical sciences I.e anatomy, physiology and biochenistry. In unilorin, we also do a bit of behavioural sciences, microbiology, epidemiology and a WHO program called COBES.

Now, when u get to 400L, you will do harder basic sciences: pathology and pharmacology, but u will also be introduced to the clinical sciences: medicine surgery, paediatrics and obstetrics and gynaecology. Finally in your last two years, yow will deal with only clinical sciences, including the surgical specialties, community health and psychiatry. Making a total of 6yrs.


After graduation, u will be pre-registered into the MDCN (medical and dental council of nigeria) and start your housemanship for one full year (don't worry, u will be paid salary), then you will go for service, but be preparing to write your primaries exam, in order for u to specialize in your place of interest I.e surgery, am I correct

Well, that's that for now...

Hi....by Jehovah's undeserved kindness i will be a 300L EBSU medical student cos am about writing my last exam in 200L

Where's the logic in doing ND, Pharm Tech and then going on to do Biochemistry?

It's advisable for you to either write the UTME and apply for Pharmacy or you go on to do your HND in Pharm Tech.

Both options are better than doing Biochemistry as far as Nigeria is concerned.

It depends on the school like UNN money is everything there so far you can buy 1 big AC and 1 Gen for the faculty or if you have your 500k your GP Doesn’t matter

Good day medical students and medical doctors

I am a medical student in a Federal University in Nigeria, but due to the protracted ASUU strike and incessant strike actions embarked upon by ASUU yearly, I decide to source for other means abroad. I have been offered admission to study M.D program (Doctor of Medicine) in a University in the Caribbean (Barbados to be precise) and new session is to commence this September, but I don't know whether to go for it or not. So I have bothering questions to ask.

My questions are:
1. Is a Barbados a good country to study Medicine?


2. What can you say about studying Medicine in the Caribbean and studying Medicine in Nigeria? Which one is more preferable and better? Which one will you advise someone to go for?

Your advice will be much appreciated.

Kedro:
Admission is now regulated with JAMB CAPS, even if your father owns the school, if you don't meet the cutoff for your department and the school sends your name to Jamb caps, it will be rejected. The only thing your aunt can do is to influence the cutoff to accommodate your score, which is very unlikely depending on general performance.

Thanks
I appreciate

Good morning house. I want to ask if 289 score in utme is good to study medicine at UI. If not which University should I change to.

Ruggedfighter:
Personally, I won't advise you to use 289 for UI. 289 is a nice score but for UI, it's not too much for medicine. Uniport, Unical are top federal schools that such score can suffice. If you have the funds, I'll recommend NDU, ANSU, Unimed(Ondo), RSU for you too. All the best!

SF123:
Congratulations on your admission bro.

TonyStark2:


Help me, please.

FUOYE's admission portal will soon be closed, please help.

TonyStark2:


If I do understand. In the absence of strike, UI's admission would've been concluded before the closure of FUOYE's admission portal. But now, due to the strike, the pace of admission between the two have been switched and thus unstable to predict, right?

Hmmm, this is really serious. I really don't want to put all my eggs in one basket, but with the way things are, I guess I'm going to stick with UI and forget about FUOYE for now, hopefully ...

Thanks for your response, much appreciated.

Lagusta:



Refer to my post above, thanx!

Gemineye:
congratulations on your admission bro. Regarding your first question...you might be able to get some answers on you tube. Some African folks studying there could have YouTube channels dedicated to documenting their experiences. Vlogs also could help get a better picture

Jakpa is the surest way now.. this incessant strike action won't cease this year. I'm sure there'll be series of others . ASUU will definitely conjure up something next year, the one after that etc.

I'm also looking for a way out of this corntree, if i could get some pointers from you... it'd be much appreciated

Was thinking of going for private University, but a friend of mine was like, what's the big difference, private is expensive, outside's also expensive. If i wan to spend, then just take the risk and spend on the real expensive afterward since the goal was to finish in Nigeria and travel out, i won't have to worry about that again since I'm already out. I'm pretty sure their system will make room for doing little jobs while schooling, not to mention the plethora of opportunities when one is done with schooling.
Anything but this corntree abeg

DrBonat:


Doctor of medicine?.. Medicine as a course in European countries is usually taken as a secondary degree meaning you are required to have a bachelor degree however some schools require IELTS,TOFEL, MCAT.

Brother, Does it require borrowing of course in 100level and 200level respectively in UNIZIK? How is it done in UNN in regards to seeming issues borrowing of courses?

Wilson500:



Please what's the current level of the first set of medical students in RSU
A friend told me it hasn't been long they started medicine

Dvd4:
Are you still confused about UNIZIK?

DrOptimistic:


Thanks much for your advice. Just as you said, I have checked YouTube and I have listened to experience of people and Vlogs owned by Africans schooling there. There are fascinating so to say.

Their system give room to do menial jobs while schooling. Most Universities in the Caribbean admit during the September, January and May session. What we know as Pre-clinical in Nigeria, is done in the Caribbean while the Clinical rotations is done in the US. There are lot of Universities in the Caribbean that you can check out, if money is not an issue.
