More information. 100 level is regarded as Pre-Medical School spent in the faculty of science learning Chemistry, Physics and Biology majorly. At 200L they move to the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences were they learn the basics, mechanisms and other scientific backgrounds that help them with the understanding of the Science of Medicine. At 400Level they migrate to the Faculty of clinical Sciences where the training from the scientific bases is translated to the Art of Medical practice. The week students are weeded at Basic Sciences. The problems I have identified is that many young doctors of our days want more of the Art of Medical practice than the Science behind it. The two are important but the science helps faster. The reason many Drs fail the primary exams is because it takes you back to the basics in which some don't like. We should as a country employ more consultants who will teach and impact students at the clinical sciences than fight for relevance at the basic sciences. Private practice should also be reduced such that these consultants can train their students well. The government should also invest in biotechnology to open up opportunities for researchers in the basic sciences asides their roles in NIMR, NAFDAC and other industries. As it stands, there is no single company producing as simple as ELISA kits is in Nigeria. You can imagine the market in hormonal assays on fertility alone, this will bring down the cost of importation. I also blame the NUC for schools that over admit students. This is common with state Universities who present different list of students to the accrediting committees. This can be monitored with the new JAMB registrars policies. Those courses are very relevant to the advancement of Science and Medical practice but like every other course or profession in Nigeria including Medicine, poor funding has been a great concern. I remember those days when people are asked to study Zoology and Botany how they feel very bad and dejected but today things are changing, the fields of parasitology and fisheries are very lucrative. Also i can tell you that UNILAG has produced 2 Vice Chancellors from the Department of Botany and you can also tell the course our immediate past president studied. The MIND IS VERY IMPORTANT THIS DAYS, how you translate the knowledge acquired into an efficient service that serves you well and bring money to your table is what is going on now. LETS PUSH FOR A BETTER FUNDING OF EDUCATION AND WE WILL SEE A BETTER NATION. monex: 2 Likes |

Acidosis: You just spoke my mind. Most graduates of basic medical sciences from Nigerian Universities do not have much options in the area of jobs/career. Most of them actually wanted to study medicine & surgery but could not and were given these courses. The only options they have is either to graduate with a second class upper and write the first MB into clinicals to become doctors or go further in the career path by becoming lecturers in the basic medical science field after obtaining masters degree. During my preclinical days, I had good lecturers both doctors and non doctors. I understand that doctors tend to lecturer these courses very well but they should not underestimate the roles played by these other lecturers that are not doctors before we start experiencing another controversial and unhealthy competition at university level just like the medical doctors and JUHESU issues at the hospital level. In other climes, graduates of basic medical sciences are integrated into the paramedics sections of health organizations. Just like you said, I think they should just scrap out these basic medical sciences degrees from the medical schools in Nigeria since their roles are becoming under threats and almost unrecognized here in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

Some persons were born to teach, others were not. it doesn't depend on who's a Medical Doctor or not. It all boils down on to the personality of the Lecturer. Dr Akpabio will teach you very well not withstanding if he is a P.hD doctor or medical doctor. it's his personality. Dr Mensah will would be a very bad teacher. he may be the best surgeon in his workplace or may have graduated with a first class in a B.Sc degree. He won't be able to pass any knowledge to his students because it's not his calling |
Re: Lecturers Who Are Not Doctors ‘should No Longer’ Teach Medical Students by anjilgreat(f): 11:26pm On Aug 22, 2018 |
Jman06: Wow! you just nailed it. Doctors should just focus on the clinical aspects of medicine and allow other non doctors to take care of the preclinical aspect of medicine. Any doctor that wants to lecture in the basic medical science field should go ahead if they have a passion for it and stop all these unnecessary comparisons for goodness sake. BTW, it is called basic medical sciences for a reason. I just don't understand doctors contention. l only see another form of contention between doctors and academicians at the university level just like their contention with JUHESU at hospital level. 2 Likes |

Jman06:Last anatomy, Keith Moore, Snell's anatomy and so on are written by medical doctors even frank netters atlas. The issue with you and some other Nigerians is we always want to take issues with people. I never said clinical pharmacology was only for MBBS what I said is there are MBBS doctors who specialize in clinical pharmacology and it's not the same as just doing a master and PhD in pharmacology. No one is saying anatomist with PhD shouldn't lecture but they should only lecture bsc students, because it is better for MBBS doctors with PhD to lecture anatomy to medical students, try and note the difference 1 Like |

Jaideyone:It's pointless discussing with an illiterate. The essence of discussion is to make valid point not to insult each others. You never addressed any of the points I raised with a coherent point. Thanks for your opinion, no one is holding pharmacist or any other field down from demanding the same. I for one want total professionalism. I have seen schools who pharmacy students are been taught by people who studied other courses and did a masters in a pharmacy related course and it's wrong. Let nursing develop their own program and let nurses teach nurses, same with pharmacist etc. No big deal about this |

Cried:It's resolved, for nature pleads that he should only rule,who most resembles me. ARRESTDARRESTER,alone,my perfect image bears,mature in dullness from his tender years. ARRESTED ARRESTER alone,of all my sons, is he who stands confirmed in gargantuan stupidity. "HE never deviates into sense" He is submerged in stupidity.

Jaideyone: did anyone say doctors know drugs more than pharmacists? no.did anyone say doctors with PhD in anatomy know anatomy that anatomists? no.what we are saying is that mbbs with PhD in anatomy etc should teach medical students anatomy courses that are relevant for clinical practice. well, no matter the argument, eventually non-medics will no longer allowed to teach medical students. If you do not want that, you can hang yourself. I know you are frustrated because you are wasting your times pursing pg programme in anatomy with a view to teach medical students. I will advise you to pursue PhD in genetics or molecular anatomy in overseas. you can get fully funded schorlaship. 1 Like |

Jaideyone:look. pharmacists cannot prescribe prescription only medicine(pom). certain drugs can only be prescribed by even specialist doctors. you need to make diagnosis before you can make prescribe. we are not talking about malaria and common ailments here. try to read more about physcian order, otc and pom. for lecturers in anatomy etc, their jobs are secured, i can assure you that. But they will not teach medical students. I can bet on that. mdcn will start enforcing new curriculum for medical schools soon. |

Stop answering /replying like market women.. Anatomy PhD havnt seen blood as it is in livings, they havnt seen a life intestine once, hang seen life Omentum once.. the ones in the cadavers are collapsed ones, so how do u think they ll b able to give good detail to student who will b future surgeon, wen an PhD wana describe appendix, they give u straight as it is bluntly, no oil, but a Dr lecturer will tell u complications he encountered while he was perfming appendectomy, what am I saying, medical student need life anatomy and can only b given by Dr lecturer.. let PhD holders teach bsc anatomy and be fine... as per pharmacist drug , U said 5yrs make them know drug and should prescribe, see , they major in the production of drug, they can't diagnos , there pathology knowledge is peripheral, , stop deceiving urself with 5yrz bla bla bla, they studied pharmacognosy, pharmacology pharm tech and the likes so they van produce drug... people who produce car dosnt mean they are Drivers , good driver are those who went to driving school, get licences to ply the road,...Producing car dosnt makes u are driver.. pharmacist never did obstetric and gynaecology, pediatric, radio and the likes so how will they diagnose and prescribe to patient of such cases, they produces, we doctors diagnose, prescribe produce drug in good dosage coz doctors are trained to do so effectively.. mind u we aren't talking about malaria and typhoid here o.. then pharmacist been aware of the drug and brand dispense the prescribed drug..

Jaideyone: May be this will help and stop displaying your stupidity especially in front of your students. lecturer my foot. Separation of prescribing and dispensing, also called dispensing separation, is a practice in medicine and pharmacy in which the physician who provides a medical prescription is independent from the pharmacist who provides the prescription drug. In the Western world there are centuries of tradition for separating pharmacists from physicians. In Asian countries it is traditional for physicians to also provide drugs. In contemporary time researchers and health policy analysts have more deeply considered these traditions and their effects. Advocates for separation and advocates for combining make similar claims for each of their conflicting perspectives, saying that separating or combining reduces conflict of interest in the healthcare industry, unnecessary health care , and lowers costs, while the opposite causes those things. Research in various places reports mixed outcomes in different circumstances. Background In jurisdictions (such as the United States ), pharmacists are regulated separately from physicians. These jurisdictions also usually specify that only pharmacists may supply scheduled pharmaceuticals to the public, and that pharmacists cannot form business partnerships with physicians or give them "kickback" payments. However, the American Medical Association (AMA) Code of Ethics provides that physicians may dispense drugs within their office practices as long as there is no patient exploitation and patients have the right to a written prescription that can be filled elsewhere. 7 to 10 percent of American physicians practices reportedly dispense drugs on their own.[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_prescribing_and_dispensing |
