How much does it cost n how do i go about it. Please an experienced answer will be appreciated. Explain thoroughly

@Guddy,
Welcome to the forum. If you had actually gone through previous posts, you'll find that I had already given enough info about myself and where I practice plus other vital info.
Nevertheless, to serve as a bonus for you, I currently practice at Unilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin. My area of specialization is histopathology.
Cheers.

@Olly256,
Your question has already been treated in an earlier post in this forum.
Nevertheless, you will need to go to the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria to register for a graduate internship program which takes two years.
I am aware that School Of Medical Laboratory Sciences, O.A.U.T.H.C., Ife and Federal School of Medical Laboratory Sciences Jos still admit graduates for this purpose. You'll decide where to go once you  register with the council.
The MLSCN is situated at No 8, Harvey Rd. Yaba, Lagos behind Yaba Orthopaedic Hospital.

Cheers.

Hello to everybody once again.

Hello everyone! Feels good to be back to our great forum after such a long time. Thanks to you all for keeping the ball rolling.

Please i need info on something really important. How can one test for the DNA of Hepatitis B virus in serum using either dot blot hybridization or PCR technique. I will like to know where i can access the reagents or kits here in Nig.

hi, can anyone plz tel me what d internship year is like in Nigeria. I graduated from a uni in SA and over there the internship year comes after graduation and is when u ar basically trained in all lab departments, after which u get licensed and then specialise.

I want to know how it works in Nigeria. Are interns given more trainings like how to read plates, slides etc as well or are they now left to do things by themselves with minimum supervision during intern year?

tnx!

@ Zingy, Its about the same thing here in Nigeria. The interns are given a provissional lisence to practise for one year after which a full lisence will be given to them during their registration with the Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN) at the completion of internship .

They will be trained by the Scientists in the various departments of the laboratory and are expected to carry out certain laboratory procedures under their supervision. This means you will be expected to read plates, slides and so on after you must have been trained. You will also take calls in the different departments but will have another scientist on call as a supervisor.

In essence you are expected to perfect in carrying out all laboratory procedures on completion of internship after which you can specialize in your area.

@chynenye,
Lahor laboratories in Benin and Winners Medical diagnostic/research institute in Abuja are popuplar service providers in those areas you are looking for. Check www.winnieaidscure.com
I hope those will be of help.
Cheers

@ Zingy and Otitor

First degree on clinical biochemistry (IMSU to UCLA), just want to say Hi to Med-Lab fellows.

hello every body just came in  i am a mdical lab scientist with emphasis in chemical pathology ,  please does anyone know where is taking interns at the momment

This is wonderful information. It’s great having my own people to interact with in Nairaland. I call on my colleagues in the academia to collaborate with our council and University administrations to ensure that Medical Laboratory Science is offered by all the Universities in the country. This will increase the awareness for this noble profession of ours in Nigeria.

I just discovered a molecular diagnostic cenre that can offer a wide range of molecular assays using DNA hybridization, PCR techniques, etc. It is located at the Medical Laboratory Science Department, University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus. I attended a workshop there last week and the standard is excellent. Visit their site to find out more www.safetybiomedical.org
Happy Independence day!
