Guy, don't mind that clown called eggplant.
People like him na ITK- I Too Know
Those are the kind of Nigerians you often meet abroad who fly solo and are not interested in helping other young upcoming Nigerians.
In fact they will snub you and horde information for themselves.
Meanwhile the indians and pakis share information and continue to succeed and move ahead.
Don't mind the chap jare.
Nobody has a monopoly over knowledge or information.

what is subjective about that opinion?!!

So, when job recruiters from abroad come to raise awareness about job opportunities in UAE or UK...Are they going to be talking to 100level med students...or to newly weds to bring up their children with the intent that they will go to med scholl and go abroad. I dunno about ife. When i was in U.i, you had your hands full from 100level.to be bothered about working abroad. Its not even sure he's gonna graduate as a doctor and you call my opinion subjective!!! smh*
#subjective.

But it's all fine...i perfectly understand your point.

Like I said, civility is an invaluable virtue. You will need it almost throughout your entire career, especially If you wont be practicing in Nigeria.

look i had a resit in final year,...when my mates were worrying about where to do internship. I had to worry about passing, not where i'd do house job. The fact is that medical career is in phases. He said he's in 100 or 200 level. No be person wey get motor go dey find mechanic...Anyway, it's okay...like i said...no offense, just an objective opinion.

The truth is that Angiography will benefit more from the students' thread. Oya boy report back to our thread. There's likelihood of derailment from the major themes of this thread if students increasingly contribute. I've been reading every page and I think that's enough for me for now and Angiography still get some years to reach where I dey

thanks for d enlightenment, scoring high in both step 1 and step 2 in usmle give u a great position to get residency irrespective of nationality? cos some people said dey aren't gettimg cos of citizenship permit and all, pls throw more light on dis

gmyguy:
by the time you graduate, things might be different. For example, 3 years ago after my internship, the UK job market was tight. So many people didn't bother doing PLAB. But now, they need doctors and ppl are hustling to go...What do you think will happen 5 years from now? Nigeria might even be a greenland by then!!! I think its good to know this info...i definitely didn't. But focus more on scaling thru school in good colors. It makes any choice you decide to make in future easy. Those who get all these foreign jobs and residency placements easily, were distinction students/ very applied students in school. Or at least, it made their attempts easy. Like i said earlier. You can start this research in 500level. That way, you can start preparing from 600level, and possibly attempt some of the exams after your finals, b4 housejob...OBJECTIVE OPINION...SEEN AND WORKED OUT FOR SOME SMART FOLKS IN MY SCHOOL.

angiography:

it's funny why you don't stick to focusing on why you on this forum than why I'm here!... I aiint a nonentity who doesn't know what he is doing!...and forget schooling me on what i need and don't need.


M sure all these bruhahah won't come up if I'd not included what level i am in med schl. And u know what??...u may actually benefit from my knowledge of getting position in the US and UK since mine two brothers are working respectively therein...but u guys are too bloated for a mature forum!. It surprises me u guys are bringing 'seniorism' unto a faceless forum. And like i said, just stick to ur reason of being on this forum while i stick to mine!

Waliyllahi:

To even stand a (slim) chance in Canada, you need to be a Citizen or Permanent Resident.

great group for medicos. kudos to all the contributors. please I need info on job opportunities for doctors in the middle-east

gmyguy:


That Australia runz though...don't use all your widow's might for it...cos i don't think it's easy to pass. I think the exam is written in Greece and Australia. I know some folks who went to Greece to fail and gave up. And another to Australia to fail, and got stuck there, with no $$$. So he got a teaching job and has been teaching since. But i heard the pay is good, if you can pass the AMC, but unfortunately, the number of Nigerians there is lower than UK and USA, and d place is fing far!...not to talk of the spiders, snakes and walking lizards!!!

angiography:

hmm....UK's conservative immigration stance is a disadvantage. Positions are only mostly guaranteed in non-training jobs. Training jobs (residency) is almost exclusive to citizens and EU nationals. I still think US gives more hope in getting residency positions...or what's ur opinion??

ElMatteo:
Is any one interested in residency in family medicine?

St. Mary's General Hospital Ibadan is presently accepting applications as they are about starting residency in family medicine.

The good thing is that u can apply even if you have not written your primaries yet. U only need to convince them that you will write it as soon as possible.

I just applied too.

naijadocs:
Right now the best place to go is UK through plab as they need a lot of doctors, US if you dont have work permit visa or residency its very hard getting into a residency system because no one will want to sponsor since competition is fierce. It is even worse in Canada even with your PR, canada is the most difficult country to get in an practise as a doctor so guys migrating there bear in mind so you dont go there and end up been lab scientist, cab drivers or street sweepers as some of my friends.
Right now UK is very much open and they need doctors all you have to do is pass the IELTS AND PLAB exams and if after passing them and you get your GMC licence and cant get a job just send me a message and email and i can assure you of one.
Now the exams are becoming tougher and more expensive and the gates wont be open forever and UK is very unstable with policies so the earlier you jump on the boat the better. Some guys on Locum earn as much as 10k pounds monthly which is quite incredible and also compared to the quality of life.
For more information on this and more kindly send me an email to naijadocsconsulting@gmail.com.
Why waste your time in Nigeria earning peanuts take the courageous step and no pain no gain.
