I'm a level 200 physio student @ Bayero University Kano. it's a lovely course !

bennyflipy:

How is physiotherapy like in BUK?
Fees and all??

sexysage:


it's a five year degree here too. plans for DPT upgrade are underway. We were told in yr 1. i am about resuming year four by God's grace in October. School fee is under 50k.

bennyflipy:

Thinking about starting a second degree in either, physiotherapy, radiography or nursing.

But people are discouraging me about BUk.
I'm from Kaduna State anyway

sexysage:



Lots of kd people are here. The environment here is kinda hostile looking at how unnecessarily sanctimonious they can be but it's been a blessing in disguise for me. Also the system here kinda stresses you but once you can adapt, that's all.

bennyflipy:

Interesting, it's normal since they practice sharia law, the stress is not an issue.

I've narrowed my options to radiography and nursing, but prefer the former.
If you don't mind can I have your WhatsApp number

RoastedCorn:
physiotherapy is not like dentistry and optometry . . people over the years have always compared dentistry to optometry without knowing its full entirety.

1. Dentistry is a 6 year course, the only course that's a medical specialty(like doing the whole of medicine then specializing in teeth),Dentists are to be compared with opthalmologists not optometrists.

2. the salary scale for doctors(medicine and dentistry) in Nigeria is called CONMESS which is slightly higher than other health care professionals like optometrists, Physiotherapists,Radiographers,Medical lab scientists and the rest that operate on CONHESS.

3. optometrist are only confused with opthalmologists and dentist because they also answer the title "Dr." but optometrists only make glasses for people with eye defect,its is only an opthalmologist (a medical doctor that specializes in the eye) that can perform surgery on the eye.

4. you mentioned something about physiotherapists specializing in paediatrics,orthopeadics ,neurology e.t.c ,well that's not really true ,I get your point though but you would confuse an average Nigerian. Physiotherapists only specialize in a medical specialty's therapy. for example, a doctor will specialize in paediatrics but a physiotherapist would specialize in pediatric therapy, a physiotherapist can also specialize in dental therapy, a doctor will specialize in orthopaedics but a physiotherapist would specialize in orthopaedic therapy (the specialty that makes most Nigerians think that physiotherapy is just the massage of body parts not knowing there is more to it). specialization in medicine and dentistry takes up to 5-8 years but that of physiotherapy is 3-4 years(not very sure though).

5. DPT is doctor of physiotherapy, currently its only offered by few countries as a 6 year degree ,in Nigeria it is after the completion of your BPT that you can be given a DPT which is after you specialize in an aspect of physiotherapy.

6. there are also consultant physiotherapists too but they don't receive same range of salary as their medical and dental consultants.


i'm not trying to place any course above the other but making valid points and facts . . hope this helps
