Medical school is perhaps the most sought-after field among students. Students writing entrance exam year after year, usually indicate medicine and surgery as their chosen academic option on their forms. For some, the lucrative nature of the medical field — medical physicians are, after all, among the highest paid professionals in the world – drives their decision, while for others, a real desire to save lives drives their decision.

The competitiveness of the course option, and also the specificity of the medical field, makes entrance to universities to study medicine and surgery extremely challenging. Although, those who want to take the course have not been discouraged by this.

What to do first and what to expect
Becoming a doctor, you must devote a significant amount of time and effort to your studies. This will take at least 5-6 years at the institute, followed by 2 years of residence to earn a narrow speciality. Academic load is significantly heavier than at traditional universities; you will be required to study a wide range of specialise areas.
Determine whether or not it is a good fit for you before diving in. One who wants to become a medical doctor needs a specific set of personal characteristics and abilities such as:

• Communication and listening skills: You’ll need to reach out to a large number of people. You must find a way to communicate with everyone. Not only must you be able to ask the right questions, but you must also be able to listen.

• Patience and stress resistance: Patients differ from one another, and their behavior might be harsh and inappropriate at times. In each situation, you must be able to maintain your composure.

• Bravery and indifference: Even if you do not intend to become a surgeon, you must learn about the anatomy of the human body. An tour to the morgue will be offered at the university; however, not everyone will be able to handle it. You should also not be terrified of blood, pus, or other bodily fluids.



• Excellent memory and data organization skills. There is a wealth of information available to you, and it is not limited to the university. Medicine is not a static field; you will be required to learn many thing on a regular basis, to be aware of regulations and directions, and to read specialized literature.

• Mindfulness and awareness will be required as you make judgments that will have an impact on someone’s life: To avoid missing key facts when developing a diagnosis, you’ll need to respond quickly and in a timely manner to any changes in the patient’s health.

Also, expect little salary at first, especially if you’re just starting out. Following graduation, you will most likely be required to work as a regular doctor at a clinic or hospital. The Ministry of Health is working on a bill that would prevent graduates from working in a private medical center for several years after graduation. As a result, they intend to address the issue of employee shortages in government organizations.

How do you get into medical school?
You must pass an exam in English language, mathematics, Physics, chemistry and biology to be admitted. However, these requirements vary base on university and country you are applying to. The particular collection of subjects is determined by the chosen path and can be seen on the university’s website. Additional entry exams are required at some schools. Some universities, for example, require computer testing in the subjects of “Pediatrics” and “Dentistry.”

It is not easy to get into medical school; you must have high enough test results, usually at least 280. The country’s leading universities, such as the University of Lagos, Obafemi Awolowo University, and others, hold the largest competitions among Nigerian universities.

“General Medicine,” “Anatomy,” “Dentistry,” and “Pharmacy” etc are the most popular departments.
Entering the target region is the simplest method. To do so, contact the health department at your registration location or a medical institution. To be considered for an application, you must submit your application at the exact dates which can be found on the university’s website. A competitive selection is carried out when there are a significant number of applicants. Will consider your academic success as well as your personal accomplishments.

I ran away from that path after 5 years as a doctor

You should think 100 times before you start your career as a doctor. It's an insane amount of work. Even during your internship, you can get a taste of all the pleasures of being a doctor, such as seeing patients every day, seeing people who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and after all of that, the night shift. Among other things, if you think you have a graduate certificate, all roads are open to you. This is not the case. Especially if you want to start working in another country. Doctor in Germany, for example, has to pass a lot of tests at the beginning of his career.
