Doctor of medicine?.. Medicine as a course in European countries is usually taken as a secondary degree meaning you are required to have a bachelor degree however some schools require IELTS,TOFEL, MCAT.

They offer M.D program there and not MBBS as here in Nigeria.
Medicine is usually offered as a second degree in European countries (especially US), but if you are studying Medicine as a first degree, you have to start as a Pre-med student and that's 5 or 5½ years but if you are studying Medicine as a secondary degree, that's 4 years.

congratulations on your admission bro. Regarding your first question...you might be able to get some answers on you tube. Some African folks studying there could have YouTube channels dedicated to documenting their experiences. Vlogs also could help get a better picture

Jakpa is the surest way now.. this incessant strike action won't cease this year. I'm sure there'll be series of others . ASUU will definitely conjure up something next year, the one after that etc.

I'm also looking for a way out of this corntree, if i could get some pointers from you... it'd be much appreciated

Was thinking of going for private University, but a friend of mine was like, what's the big difference, private is expensive, outside's also expensive. If i wan to spend, then just take the risk and spend on the real expensive afterward since the goal was to finish in Nigeria and travel out, i won't have to worry about that again since I'm already out. I'm pretty sure their system will make room for doing little jobs while schooling, not to mention the plethora of opportunities when one is done with schooling.
Anything but this corntree abeg

Thanks much for your advice. Just as you said, I have checked YouTube and I have listened to experience of people and Vlogs owned by Africans schooling there. There are fascinating so to say.

Their system give room to do menial jobs while schooling. Most Universities in the Caribbean admit during the September, January and May session. What we know as Pre-clinical in Nigeria, is done in the Caribbean while the Clinical rotations is done in the US. There are lot of Universities in the Caribbean that you can check out, if money is not an issue.

Congratulations on your admission bro.

Thank you

Good day medical students and medical doctors

I am a medical student in a Federal University in Nigeria, but due to the protracted ASUU strike and incessant strike actions embarked upon by ASUU yearly, I decide to source for other means abroad. I have been offered admission to study M.D program (Doctor of Medicine) in a University in the Caribbean (Barbados to be precise) and new session is to commence this September, but I don't know whether to go for it or not. So I have bothering questions to ask.

My questions are:
1. Is a Barbados a good country to study Medicine?


2. What can you say about studying Medicine in the Caribbean and studying Medicine in Nigeria? Which one is more preferable and better? Which one will you advise someone to go for?

Your advice will be much appreciated.

hello

pls whats the cutoff mark for Futa mbbs?

and whats the estimated school fees for 100lvl?

FUTA don't release cut off marks
But there is a rumour that the cut off mark for Medicine for the newly admitted is 83.875 (I don't know how true it is).

Just have a good UTME score and a very high Post UTME score (80+) and you are good to go

We don't know what the estimated school fees will be for Medicine since this is their first set of medical students.

But other courses pay #53,000 for school fees (in total).
First batch to get admission last year paid #45,000 for Acceptance fee while other batches paid #50,000 for Acceptance fee.

I am finally a medical student today. I have been admitted to study Medicine and Surgery in Federal University of Technology, Akure. After 4 years of pursuing Medicine. It finally come at the 4th attempt.

God is faithful...It has been God all the way. May His Name be highly exalted.

1. You don't need to cram the whole textbook.. Haba. Just solve a lot of P.Qs. That's where the onions lie

2. All the answers in the UI PQs are correct bro. Don't even think about it.

I agree with the rest of your post though. On point.

I don't think it is all the answers that are correct oo. They give some wrong answers intentionally

Hello Ay, I'd send you a message on WhatsApp.

Ok sir

Hello Deeemphasis01,

I want to share my experience with you as regards what you stated. I recently graduated from the University of Ibadan with a degree in Physiology and gained admission to study Dental Surgery at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

Here's what I did.
My project work in 400L didn't start until second semester so I wasn't really disturbed by the thoughts of it.

1. During the break between 300L and 400L, I did not go home. I stayed back in Ibadan to begin preparing for the UTME.

2. When we resumed, I made sure I always had data to check my class group on WhatsApp because some of our lecturers are wont to always rescheduling classes as they deem fit (some of the classes didn't eventually hold).

3. Again, I intentionally missed classes to stay back to read for the UTME. I always made sure I called my friends to help me sign against my name or write my name on the attendance list.

4. I always made sure I knew about tests early so I had ample time to read for the Physiology test, putting away UTME temporarily before picking it up again.

5. Some of my classmates thought I was unserious, now they know better. Don't take it to heart when you get those vibes and don't publicize your affairs or have someone publicize them on your behalf.

6. For lecturers whose classes had marks attached for attendance (meaning they counted the number of students present, as compared with the list), I made it a rule to always attend their classes.

7. When I was to go write the postutme at Zaria, I had a test in Ibadan clashing with my exam at Zaria. The course was taken by a consultant who has a joint appointment at the Department of Physiology, COM_UI and the Department of Oral Pathology, UCH. I couldn't take the risk of disappearing and coming back to give her reasons for my disappearance.

So, I wrote a her letter(with attached evidence) and I had a friend deliver it to her by proxy on the day of the test. Place your letter in an envelope and address it as appropriate. It makes a good impression. When I got back, the woman asked about my journey, the exam etc. And I eventually wrote my test in her office with aircon .

Another Professor, I didn't hear about his assignment until the evening preceding the day of deadline. Can I kill myself? The following day, I went to his office, explained myself and asked if I could submit mine at a later date, baba asked me "Listen to yourself, does what you're saying make sense, please leave my office". Thank God I didn't waste my time. Grumpy old man.

Another lecturer I missed her test, an impromptu one. After explaining myself (I just told her I travelled), she told me and a classmate who was also absent to pick a day among ourselves for our make up test. We even moved it by a day again, very awesome woman.


My point, don't expect all your lecturers to be thesame, write letters (to the ones you might be missing their test or exam) informing them formally.

8. On the days I attended classes, immediately classes were dismissed, I went straight to my house. No waiting for friends for gists as we sauntered home, I faced the task with a singleness of purpose.

9. Pray and commit it all to God. He's not coming last on this list because he's the least. It's because he's the ultimate. Nothing happens outside of the creator. His grace is all that's needed. If you're a Muslim, don't miss your Salat and do it with the whole of your mind.


As regards preparing for the exams,
1. Get your JAMB recommended texts(and those recommended by other persons preparing for the UTME). I can't really remember the names of most of those texts so I wouldn't dabble into that.

2. Master calculating without a Calculator because even JAMB's yeye calculator won't do you any good. Although you should have a calculator to help you review your accuracy.

3. Know the square-root of numbers from 2 to 10. Excluding perfect squares including 1 since it's a perfect square. Special angles and Conversions.

4. Draft up a syllabus of English of your own. Don't depend on JAMB's English syllabus, it's an eyesore.

5. Pay attention to diagrams, charts and their labellings. Know and distinguish properly between things that can mess you up before you enter the exam Hall, imagine confusing Mixed Salts and Complex Salts. The different approaches to calculating relative density. All those things matter.

6. Don't take any subject with levity. They all carry 100 marks.

7. On the days of the UTME and PUTME, go with the notes you have formed from the different books you have amassed. You know the Nigerian Factor affects everything in this country. I was supposed to write my exam by 9am, I entered into the Hall by 1:30Pm.

8. Preferably take a soda just before going in to raise you Blood-Glucose levels. Your brain really needs it. When you get into the exam Hall, calm down first. You don't have to start when you're asked to, it's CBT remember. Make sure you're calm before logging in.

9. Start from the subjects that aren't time consuming: Biology, English, Chemistry and Physics, in that order. When you encounter a question you don't have an answer to or you're unsure, skip immediately and come back later, chances are that you would get it right at the second attempt.

And don't leave any question unanswered, even if you don't know the answer, always pick something eventually, there's no negative marking.

There are instances where questions and answers are out of sync, usually go with the most logical of options.

10. Past questions go a long way too. Try to solve questions from 10-15 years ago. You don't have to solve every question. Just endeavor to understand the concept behind the topic.

11. You might make some mistakes, we all do. Don't beat yourself up for it.

I wish you the very best my friend.

Kindest regards.

The bolded is rare in my school.

Please sir, can you give tips in passing UI post UTME ?

horpeyemmi66:
Hi, I believe Smartmed is reasoning from the angle of the ease of getting out of the country. It's relatively easier to leave Nigeria as a Medical Doctor than as a Dental Surgeon. This is perhaps the reason why he considers switching not necessarily because of a perceived dichotomy.

There's actually a huge difference in the cost of exams as a summarized below:
Medical Doctor
PLAB 1: £237

PLAB 2: £875

Total: £1,112 (N530,320) ; as compared with

Dentist/Dental Surgeon
ORE 1/ LDS 1: £806/ £850

ORE 2/ LDS 2: £2,929/ £2, 940

Total: £3,735 (N 1,781,250)/ £3,790 (N1,804, 480)

Where £1= N476.907

Another thing, venue for the exams. PLAB1 can be written in Nigeria (Lagos, Abuja and Enugu) and even Ghana (if you don't get a seat in Nigeria or register late). PLAB2 is written at Manchester, United Kingdom.

For ORE1, the exam's venue is the King's College, London. While ORE2 is written at the Eastman's Dental Institute, the Dental School affiliated to the University College London. Both parts of the LDS exams are written in London.

However submissions made by you and Aquilapriscilla were very pertinent.

PS: Fees covering Tickets, Visas, Hotel Bookings, Yellow fever card, NARIC statements etc were not considered.

Hi sir.
This is Ayobami.
How have you been sir?

awokunlet:
thanks bro, its EKSU...ekiti state university

Yes it is very possible to cross from Physiology or Anatomy than from Microbiology. HOD for Microbiology might not want to release his best student. It just require high GP but note that, it is only few people they do cross.

Thanks To God and Everybody that ever posted positive and Encouraging comments on here, I have Benefited From it and it has propelled me to be better ! Thank Y'all

Congrats Chief! Is it UNIMAID

iaamxavier:
They did last year but it was just screening no exams

And yes they do accept 2nd choice but you'll have to change them to first choice when the admission comes

Can I have your whatsapp number? Have some things to ask concerning EBSU

iaamxavier:
She should try ebsu MLS the cut off is 210

They don't write post ume exam as well

So if she just score 220 at least next year then I guarantee that she will gain admission
Ebsu medical school is one of the top notch in all State University I mean their facilities is actually better than some fed university

Do they allow 2nd choice candidates to partake in their screening? Do they also admit 2nd choice?

No, they haven't uploaded the schedules and there is something wrong with the portal. Let just keep checking. Hopefully it will be out tomorrow.
