Maybe NUC actually goofed by allowing them lecture and become Professors without PhD in the past but it seems they realized their error.

The consultants want to continue becoming Professors without PhD. I laugh! Do they actually know the rigors of becoming a PhD holder?
They are not bigger than NUC that regulates them so if NUC says they cant become Professors without PhD then they should either join their colleagues who go on to acquire PhD or get out.

Hello, I have been seeing your post for quite some time, how much would you register a private company for me?

Yohh:

U don't get it. PhD is mandatory for those lecturing preclinical courses like Physiology and all doctors know that.
What NUC is now saying is that consultants must poccess PhD before they can lecture clinical students in courses like surgery, Paediatrics etc.
They are saying that a surgeon, a fellow of national and/or West African postgraduate college who has spent close to a decade to specialise in surgery needs to go get PhD to lecture surgery.

CSTR2:
So their ordinary residency = Msc +PhD?

Doctors in Nigeria are mad. No wonder they don't know anything.

I support them when they are fighting for salary increase, but not for this.

Why earn salary without the required training?

Yohh:
NUC just wants to cause unnecessary discord.
The rigor involved in getting fellowship with the paper work and research is more demanding than getting a PhD. A 5 to 6 years residency program that some spend a decade to finish.

12inchess:

You're very ignorant is what I'd say. I don't even know how to reply you because what you're saying makes no sense. When a doctor undergoes residency in a particular field, he is already specializing in that field. The residency program is similar to a PhD program except that it's more hands on.

I tire o....My brother.

One of them have been ranting all over this thread.

Nobody is downgrading residency, but is it a PhD?

If its not who cares, its the policy.

What a bunch of illiterate medical doctors saying "PhD is cosmetics"

All over the world, a PhD or equivalent is required as a minimum qualification to join academic positions at lecturer level and above at any University.

A PhD exposes one to a narrower field but at greater depth and understanding.

Most medical doctors that are teaching our medical students are just holders of MBBS which is a Bachelors degree equivalent to having BTech or BSc in Engineering. However, with residency periods, we can subjectively agree/disagree its equivalent (but not) to Masters.

Irrespective of the aforementioned, to be a lecturer in a proper University you need to have a PhD, there is no shortcut about it.

We @[color=#006600][/color] know what Doctors go through first hand,
PhD certificate though relevant but “ it doesn’t add value to any kind of treatment”.
The NUC’s decision is punitive and acting in error,
We believe that having fellowship acquired through residency was more vigorous,
which could be equated with PhD certificate,
That is residency training is purposeful,
while PhD is cosmetics'.
Only Medical Doctors in the house can comprehend our posts.

This means that you must have a PhD to teach Laws, Engineering, Accountancy, Pharmacy, Dietary, Physiology and other Professions

CSTR2:

There is no way a medical doctor teaching community health knows better than a scientist with a doctorate in epidemiology on how disease is spread.

CSTR2:

I am a chemical engineer.

From 400 level -500 level, only lecturers with doctorate took us in school.
300 level is for lecturers with atleast a masters.
That is the policy.

How much more in medicine that deals with human life and need highly experienced teachers.

Give us another analogy for O&G, Orthopaedics or Paediatrics. What specific courses do lecturers in those fields have to get a 2.5 year Phd in, to 'know better' than a consultant with a 6 year residency please?

Doctors should get PhD before lecturing...This country and NUC is really mad...oya...academics should start doing residency nah...they don't even understand what medical residency or obtaining a fellowship is and some people talking trash don't know that my first degree(MBBS) is the equivalence of a Master's degree..why do Canada accept it so on its PR program...we just don't have sense in this country..like someone said...PhD is cosmetic���[color=#990000][/color]

Well, it can be streamlined.

Pure medical courses like Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Dentistry, opthamology, should be based on medical experience.
Which means consultant doctors should have the required professional experience to impact knowledge.

But applied scientific courses like community health, pathology and pharmacology, medical biochemistry e.t.c should be taught by specialists.
And those people should have a PhD.

The operative qualification is HIGHLY EXPERIENCED TRAINERS. And it's the Responsibilities of the University Authorities to maintain the operating Standards and Status.

Tell that to the NUC. I don't think they know the difference.
