Section II
Recommendations:

1. There is a need for the one year internship/housemanship placement to be regulated just like the National Youth Service Corps, which therefore warrants a body to be set up and charged with the duty of posting medical graduates for the mandatory internship/housemanship program.

2. The said body above will work closely with the various governing council bodies/universities to ensure the universities adhere strictly to the regulation of the council bodies as regards intake of fresh students into the various disciplines, so as to control the output which will be a function of the number and available acredited hospitals.

3. All hospitals' form for internship/housemanship should be made free of charge as obtainable in some few hospitals, since as fresh graduates, we are not occupationally engaged yet. Financially the cost of purchasing a form for say for as high as N5000 may be difficult for some individuals judging by the status quo of our economy.

4. As a matter of urgency, Federal government need to upgrade and properly equip our hospitals to facilitate and enhance further training of medical graduates as this is one of the major setbacks in the entire process.

5. The examination is not neccessary when a medical graduate is qualified and provisionally licensed by their council body. However, should it be done, it has to be for only the few candidates posted to the particular hospital. And should a candidate fail, a resit exam may be considered since the hospital capacity is still not filled up yet. All these modalities will go a long way in curbing the unneccessary delays being experienced by prospective interns/house officers.

Go back to school.

A proposal for the proper regulation of Medical Internship/Housemanship

Section I
Critical Challenges been faced by Prospective Interns/House Officers
There is an ongoing crisis in the Nigerian Medical Internship/Housemanship placement which has plagued its prospective interns/house officers for years. The mandatory internship/housemanship program is an extension of our training, where we acquire more comprehensive clinical training as we are dealing with the most sacred form of life, the human life and as such there is the very need for us in the health sector to be efficient and competent in all ramifications. Having said that, this mandatory one year program has virtually become a stumbling block to prospective interns/house officers as there are no well structured and organised modalities put in place for securing placement. You can imagine a situation where a graduate from Medicine, Pharmarcy, Medical Laboratory Science, Radiography, Physiotherapy, Nutrition and Dietitrics, Optometry will graduate from the University after five or six years, then stay back at home for additional two to three years or more pending when him/her can secure placement in any of the accredited hospitals. This unneccessary delay caused by the irregularities in the process is uncalled for and grossly unacceptable. To worsen the situation, most hospitals are now in the habit of selecting just a few from the thousands of the crowd that put in for the application. In addition, most of them sell their forms for as high as N5000, N3000, and N2000, to all candidates only to take less than 30 applicants from the thousands that bought the form leaving the others helpless after the release of the interview results.

Prospective interns/house officers risk their lives nationwide in the bid to attend interview in various parts of the nation and at the end of the day, they are disappointed, and it is not a question of them not passing the interview exams but most often, this can be attributed to multiple factors such as not having the connection, not having the funds to probably pay for a slot, the politics that is inherent in the hospital management board, the small size capacity of the laboratory, for instance which may not be able to cater for or contain all the intern med lab scientists, and so many other unforeseen factors. The most grievous of all is the sales of forms to thousands of candidates and end up taking less than thirty (30) from the crowd, together with the politics been played in the entire process, which in most hospitals, the process is far from transparent and merit. From our own perspective, this appear to be tantamount to exploiting and taking undue advantage of the helpless candidates financially, who are in dire need of securing placement for the mandatory one year internship/housemanship program which precedes the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). Because of this delay in the process of securing placement, prospective interns/house officers are going through hard times, wasting at home, getting weary and are seen like people who never actually graduated from school since they are not going to service immediately as this is what is obtainable among fresh university graduates. Again, the cumbersome predicament will always result in a situation whereby a 200level or 300level student in another discipline outside the medical field in the university will graduate and go for service while a medical graduate who must have graduated some two to three years back will still be wasting time at home since no internship/housemanship, no service. This is grossly unacceptable. Prospective interns/house officers are therefore requesting the Federal Government, the National Assembly, National Universities Commission and the various regulatory bodies to urgently step into the situation and resolve this crisis by regulating internship/housemanship for the entire Medical graduates.
Having pointed out the enormous challenges been faced by prospective interns/house officers, below are some few recommendations to aid in the regulation of the entire process and bring a permanent halt to the worrisome challenges.

The beginning of the trial. Medical student's superiority.

Cement plant!!!! At what cost per bag?

atbu1983:

SeverusSnape:

BabyDaddy20:
I will rather watch porn & beat my meat till i cum over & over again than read any news in Buhari's regime.
What happened in Amechi's trial will also happen in sariki's trial.
Their master Buhari will find him not guilty.

You better watch porn and spoil your eyes and mind than making such comment.
Sai Baba Buhari.

ozo13:
Please does anyone have an idea the distance

BishopMagic:

Hunger go kill u for there. $

LongPennis:
Since everybody is failing integrity test in Nigeria, let buhari be the president, minister and judge too naa.

What kind of nonsense is this sef? Are all Nigerians daft?

Saint buhari indeed.

See your name!!!!!
Laugh wan kill me.

themejiwalker:
But what does Baba mean by "Nigeria is not a rich country"

Think if you are a salary earner and you wait to earn every month ending.

Other means of generating revenue exist but Nigeria and Nigerians are always looking toward crude oil.
Natural resources exist but unutilise.

McKren:
Why not wait at the end of the financial year when all budget of this administration should have been implemented to judge

There is no point celebrating abstract figures that mean nothing to the common man when no roads have been built, no investment in electricity and the common is feeling nothing!

This figures can be dropped now and looted later. What difference does that make?

Appreciate transparency and fairness.

McKren:
Buhari keeps fooling himself

I don't blame him cos he is getting away with it

But World leaders will not be fooled!

ISIS leader will not attempt to flee to Nigeria if he does not believe he will be protected!

For your mind. Fool

PMB using their Son to intimidate them.

Shout sai Buhari!!!!!!!!

Mogidi:

Greyworld:
Dry bone shall rise again.......

Mogidi:
Only in the core North where you belong. It is live and well in the SE/SS, not forgetting Gombe or Ekiti or Ondo.

SE/SS for were? U no serious.

1toRtoiSe1:
How I wish southeast can have a leader like him.

They can have dat only wen they believe that nigeria is their country and not BIAFARA.

luvinhubby:
The more reason why Abdusalami's peace committee advice to Buhari is very appropriate, the veracity of such allegations needs to be investigated, parties involved questioned before any public statements on such matters.
I hope APC leaders like Oshiomhole is not pushing Buhari too hard to force him playing to the gallery.

See fool.
Project meant for rail were used for airport upgrade. See ur life.
Almost 1B dollars for upgrade. Wowowo.

ArodewilliamsT:
This gworo-chewing loudmouth quota system "Dr" junaid should shut his mouth for one, lest he swallows flies. i know he has almajiri slaves. If Igbos could survive all the neglect of fulani military junta for 40 years, i don't why they can't survive for 4 years in a democracy. Mr Junaid i say to you Go to hell!


**modified** yoruba will come here and praise the gworo chwewing junaid forgetting that he once threatened that yoruba will never take illorin away from the fulani, in the event of a break up. Guys, just sit back and watch yoruba slavery in 3D.

Let them try it and they see fire like BOKO BOYS.

laudate:
Aunty Susan, why are you taking panadol for this kind of headache? The Igbo people want their own country. It is called Biafra. Did anyone tell you, they are interested in Nigeria?? Haba! Don't turn back the clock for them, oh.

Please don't turn down the clock. Its the period of bombardment.
Igbos are just slaves dispersed all over nigeria. Their properties, not to mention.
Whether junaid came down to tell u guys the truth or not.
To hell with all igbos on Nairaland.

The tradition of the ancient babylonians.
