Please do yhu know the states that currently pay MLS corpers?

I heard Delta state pay

Pricelessangel0:
Thanks to all those who responded but what am actually asking is "is there any course someone with MLT result can go for to study part time aside the profession."? Thanks

I don't really think of there is any apart from MLS

Graduating with Second Class Lower as a Medical Laboratory... How Bad is it?

It's not that bad. As a Medical Laboratory Scientist, your license is the most important. It may only affect you if you want to further your studies. Even at that, you won't have much issues, If you continue to improve in other areas of your professional life.

It will not have much effect. Try and improve in other areas like leadership, humanitarian services, research et al. This would help boast your overall profile as a Scientist.

National diploma from Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo State.

The process is long but worth it. U must reg jamb for DE, get ur transcript sent then await UNN's entry exam. To be on a safer side, u must score at least 250.

Hello 👋.. pls I need ur advice, I want to take this year DE, ND from Yabatech and a CGPA of 3.34, how visible is it for me to be admitted to UNN

Very possible especially now that UNN have stopped conducting post utme/de exams. Just apply and pray.

Thank you so much for the reply and info.. the only problem I hv with the 'no DE exam' case is that my Olevel result is not a strong one or won't they be using Olevel result?

As long as u have ur minimum credit pass on those important subjects and ur ND result is distinction or upper credit, u are good to go.

In clinical practice, it won't affect you, you need the license to practice.
If you have interest in Lecturing, you can do Masters and PhD in Medical Laboratory Science. I heard some federal Universities will want you to get a PhD degree before they can accept you as Lecturer 1 because of the 2.2. It's not really easy to graduate with 2.2 in MLS sef. Go for more post graduation trainings to compact your CV.

If UK is your interest, you do HCPC, it will cost you Money and work experience. What you graduated with, doesn't matter. If it's Canada or US, you write ASCPi exam, 2.2 write it. It will cost you Money and reading.

Nvm y’all

Can someone with a MLS or MLA certificate from Canada work in Nigeria? Is there a process to get the Nigerian license or do I have to graduate from a Nigerian MLS program to get the license?

MLSCN has a foreign educated scientist program, you will have to mail council, they usually spend a year in teaching hospital undergoing training before taking licensing exam. But wondering what will make anyone leave Canada to come do MLS in Niaja

People have their reasons for doing things. Nigeria is sweet if you have money.

Please what are the career choices in medical laboratory after nysc?

The field is wide and open depends on your interest.
MLS working in Hospital/ Diagnostic Facilities: The most common known to everyone
Academia : Good thing is with BMLS you are taken as Assistant Lecturer against MSc needed for most other courses.
Sales/Marketing : A lot of MLS work with companies like ISN marketing lab equipment, consumables and they make real cool cash with bonuses for meeting sales target.
Application Specialist: They are the ones that come to install new lab equipment, train users, service it and so on.
NGO: You have those working with the likes of IHVN, SFH, FHI360 among others were they are engaged in wide range of jobs and activities from epidemiology to Monitoring/Evaluation. Usually most have advance degree like MPH in addition to BMLS.
Research : You have organizations like XceneResearch, NIMR involved in clinical trials and other medical research.
Tech: you also have those that have branched into areas like software development building LIS softwares, Hospital data management etc.
so you have wide options to choose from. Working in the bench is just a small fraction of what MLS do.

Please, who can tell how someone can pay for ASCPi exam registration in Nigeria as it is stated on the website that payment should be made with Credit Card? Or anyone who had paid for this exam in Nigeria before should kindly assist. Thanks.
