Of course if that's what you want age is not a barrier. In my class then we had students over age 30.

have been reading the comments hear from the first page. am a student of Medical Laboratory Science. I really like the course and dont regret studying it. but have observed that Doctors and Medical Laboratory Scientists are always fighting each other over one thing or the other, though Pharmacist, Physiotherapist and Radiographers seems to be quiet or silent concerning their profession or is it because their Association is not as strong as MLS own(Mlscn) I really want to know??

To the gurus and ogas in the house...Is it possible to go and do intern in the US? If yes, please what is the process and requirements?

Answers from anyone who has passed or currently doing this will be highly appreciated.

This is very URGENT!

Of course that's the reason for the bill on the establishment of the National Postgraduate College of Medical Lab science almost actualising and the new bill for the National PG College of Physiotherapy. In the UK before u are appointed consultant you must have had/been a Fellow of the Royal college of pathology as a Medical Laboratory Scientist den dere are guidelines for such appointments. So being a Fellow of the National PG makes u qualified to fit in such appointments. It's not based on years of working except through honorary fellowship

dannytoe:
why would you want to do internship in the US? or do you want to practice in the US.

Because I need to travel & looking at the possibility of practicing there! Its been over 1year now that I've been inducted & still unable to do intern cos I don't know someone that know someone that know someone & its the only thing holding me here!

larrywax:
Thanks for your response.

How do I go about the ASCP mentioned and what are the other certifications?

Do I have to go through WES first or there's another way?

Thank you

In some schools YES and in others NO. The same way some schools offers Embryology as part of anatomy and some don't.
It's not uniform it's dependent on the school and curriculum (Gross anatomy practical).

Anatomy dissection in UNN is 4 credits dunno if it's same as those in other schools but in my time it wasn't even in the curriculum.

What do you guys think...I got admission in the states to study med lab but was denied the visa(felt so bad ..,still feeling depressed till now...never knew it was that difficult to obtain a US student visa) .now I have deferred the admission till august. Should I really go back for my visa or go purchase a direct entry for med lab here in Nigeria? am 25 and working in a pharmaceutical firm but my love for med lab keeps increasing

Jacktheripper:



Like here in Lautech, we don't perform dissection on Cadavers but offer embryology i.e ANA231

No my dear it's not possible in Nigeria.
The basic requirement for licensure anywhere and everywhere is a bachelors degree in medical lab sci (BMLS) not even Msc or PhD can fetch you that. If it was a bachelors in biomedical science (BMS as they call it in the UK) then you are qualified for licensing and internship.
The only thing you can do with the Msc is probably lecture in MLS department (if MLSCN doesn't change rule like MDCN) and hope you may be granted a "special fellowship" for your efforts.
Or you contact the council for more clarification, hopefully you get the needed response but just know you might be told what I just put up there sha.

Thanks for reply. My Bsc is in Applied Biology (no botany). My university offers the Msc Biomedical Science as a next step for those that did the Bsc. Does this make any difference and is there a way to ask the board directly. Thanks once again

SOB18:

I'm a fresh graduate medical laboratory science I need internship placement pls here is my number add me on WhatsApp 08101805337

nelszx:

Hahaha no one needs your number, you search and hustle for it yourself. Internship is not something you drop number for.
cc: Cowleg you have a candidate, please direct him or search for "prospective medical interns" on Facebook that's another place you can help yourself in getting latest placement.
