Ibro4peak: 10q sir,m happy 2 b fortunate 2 join dis thread.wish 2 join u in d race 2 greatness

Thanx to u too, we shall all reach the pinnacle of greatness, by the grace of the Almighty....

Idyllic: @ Lagusta and others Thanks you for the answer. I asked the question because I saw someone's primary fellowship examination result and it reads: " I am pleased to inform you that you satisfied the examiners at the primary fellowship examinations of faculty of radiology of the west african college of surgeons...". They did not say west african college of surgery sub-speciality. So am I right if I call a person doing his residency in radiology a Surgeon?

The fact that radiology is a sub-specialty does not mean it is not part of surgery, and yes, a radiologist is still a surgeon, cos like I said, they help surgeons to diagnose and treat surgical disorders.....

A surgeon is not complete without an x-ray film of the patient beside him/her, just as he/she is not complete without an anaesthetist to monitor the patient's vital signs while on the operating table....

So...........

Superclem: would like to knw some of the common specializations available and wat ar d challenges we re likely to face in med sql?

There are many specialties in medicine and surgery, the core ones are pathology, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, medicine, surgery and community health

Pathology specialties include hematology, microbiology, histopathology, and chemical pathology

Medicine and paediatrics have the same specialties, only that paediatrics deal with children, while internal medicine deals with adults, the specialties include neurology, psychiatry, pulmonology, cardiology, gastroenterology, nephrology, and endocrinology

Obstetrics and gynecology is a major surgical specialty

Other surgical specialties include neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery, urology, orthopaedics, paediatric surgery, plastic surgery, and the sub-specialties I listed earlier..

Community health is a major branch of medicine....

Ibro4peak: happy noon,pls I am a die hard potential medical aspirant.hoping 2 gain admissn dis year into unilorin for anatomy.I overheard unilorin promotes 10 best overall students into medicne.is dat true?and if,how can 1 reach dat feat?pls doctors, a candid resposne is solemnly needed

Yes, like I said, I am a unilorin final year medical student, so I m the right doc 2 answer ur query.....

Yes, they promote the best 20 100L anatomy and physiology students into 200L medicine.... But I heard they want to stop it, m not sure shaaa.....

The only way u can make it is if u get As in all courses I.e physics, chemistry and biology, with the GNS courses.....

jnrremedy: is it compulsory i finish youth service before applying for direct entry.i am a graduate of biochemistry with strong 2.1. pls i need an ans asap.

Not compulsory, but some schools demand for an NYSC certificate e.g unilorin, so pls confirm

Idyllic: @Lagusta, please I want to understand what you mean by sub-specialities of surgery and how is radiology for example a sub-speciality of surgery. Please I will like a detailed and encompassing explanation. I really want to understand sub-specialities of surgery in general and how radiology is one of them. Thanks in advance.

The sub- specialties of surgery include anaesthetiology, radiology, otorhinolaryngology and ophthalmology. They are called sub-specialties cos they help the general surgeon to diagnose, treat, and manage various disorders. Radiology must be one of them, cos without the x-rays, ultrasound, CT, MRI, etc, we won't get a clear view of what's going on in the human body....

FMK: i need answer

Its the eyes, they never grow fat or slim, it is always constant....

tufe: @lagusta

We don't have the SAQ and LAQ system u mentioned. We just have MCQ and theory, but in surgery clinical exams, we have Short and Long case.I guess different skools run different systems as long as its in accordance with MDCN. Like I'm aware that in LUTH path and pharm class is done in 300L, in LASUTH it is done in 400L.

We also do clinical and practical exams too here... Practicals in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and pathology. All except biochemistry is steeplechase exam, while biochem is the real titration like WAEC chemistry...

Clinical exams are done in all the clinical fields except community health, where we do only steeplechase and picture tests. In the other fields, we also do long and short case except at MB level, where we do OSCEs... For surgery and paediatrics, we do picture tests too, with the osces, while
in medicine and O&G, the pictures are integrated into the OSCEs...

tufe: Oga me I'm in medicine because of the pay jor don't tell me that one of service jare. I'm killing my *ss now for d money ☇(˘̯˘ )--Ψ .hehe

We are in medicine cos of one reason or the other, but I am here to save lives... There are better ways of making millions, like networking, programming, web designing, etc

erudite scholar: Lagusta, i can see that u are on line. Thanks for your contribution in keeping this thread lively. Kudos

[quote author=~vicky~]Akpors thought that LOL means'LOTS OF LOVE' So he wrote an SMS To his girlfriend.Saying'My dear,i'm sorry about the death of your sister.,LOL. [/quote]Now this is a very very very funny akpors story, LOL

Me I will touch the ground to feel the snake's body, cos most snakes are blind......

And if I touch the snake's body, I grab it and kill it my bare hands....

GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Nigeria we hail thee....

Please, don't let us discriminate among ourselves, a dentist is still a doctor, in fact, there are a lot of diseases that are related to our oral cavities, which even a general surgeon knows nothing about...

I remember when a consultant maxillo-facial surgeon came to our class once, we all laughed that "what does this dentist want to teach us, abeg our teeth white like close up jare"
But he asked us what dental caries mean, we all failed the question, cos we told him it means decay of the teeth, now HE laughed!!! He told us it means HOLES in the teeth... There were some other stuff he was just yarning that nearly broke our cranial vaults!

Since then, I always respected dentists!!!!

Superclem: @youngsage am a medical student, MBBS. MCQ is multiple choice question or obj, SAQ, is em... maybe straight or simple answer question wat we call theory

Well, u missed that SAQ part....

The essay part of exams are usually divided into two, SAQ and LAQ....

SAQ means "SHORT answer questions" therefore your answers should be short BUT concise...

LAQ means long answer questions, your answers should be long and detailed, but please don't waste time ooo, cos there is always no time!!!

TAKIA!!!

Youngsage: @Lagusta pls expantiate on the above, i don't understand wat u mean by MCQs, SAQs?
@superclem are u a dentist or a med. doctor?

MCQs like someonew said means multiple choice questions, just like the objective in WAEC..... BUT!!!! There is negative marking: I will explain later...

MCQS are made of one-in-five, true or false, matching and causal relationships...

One-in-five is the usual option A, B, C, D, and E, if u get it, that's +1, if u fail it u get -1/5 as negative marking, but if u don't attempt it, u get 0 as usual

True or false gives u a statement and u have to state whether it is true (T) or false (F) if u get it, +1 if u fail it -1/2 if u don't attempt it 0

Matching is just like primary school quantitative where u match a statement with the correct answer, more common in pharmacology, same scoring with true or false

Causal relationships give u two statements where u have to state whether they are related, not related but still true, or one statement is false or both are false, also common in pharmacology, same scoring as true or false

The bottom line is, DO NOT ATTEMPT A QUESTION THAT YOU ARE NOT SURE OF!!!!! That's what makes u a good doctor....

[quote author=tufe][/quote]Don't mind me jare, I m always in the jokes section too...

Never knew dentistry is a 6yr course.... We don't hav it in unilorin shaa

There are some medical specialties that can still guarantee a formidable social life: community health, psychiatry, all pathology specialties and some of the surgical sub-specialties I.e radiology, ophthalmology, and ENT...

And yep, u got it right, our courses are harder, imagine writing all pathology in a single day: 800 MCQs and 17 SAQs

But, I can't see anything

afol4dam: ...i meant maybe by undergoing some courses...he could turn a medic

I don't think so ooooo, I believe he has to start all over again, its the same anyway, a medic that wants to be a dentist has to start again in dental school.... Remember, a nurse can never be a doctor until he gets his MBBS!!!


Don't worry, dentists are also competitive, DR. Sid is a dentist, he just loves music, he also consults, and u can travel out to SA, australia, canada, etc
