afol4dam: Can a dentist after indution change over to a medical doctor?

Yes it's possible....

Dentists and doctors are one and the same.....

We exchanged courses, physicians don't treat oral diseases, while dentists don't treat women's diseases....

What I mean is, we all do all the medical in-courses and write nearly same exams, but dentists don't do O&G and physicians aren't taught tooth disorders.....

But we are all doctors, no discrimination about that....

To answer your question, a dentist would go for an 18mth course to become a physician/surgeon

Thanks

afol4dam: ........Dental students also use 6 years same as medical students

Six years I thought it was 5yrs faa!!!

Well, we are still doctors shaa, dentist or medic

9ce concept

afol4dam: Do dental and medical students follow the same trends on campus...i means stuff like exams,posting,practicals etc. Thanks for answering.

Yeah, I believe dental students go thru anatomy, physiology, pathology, maybe biochem and pharm shaaa...

They surely won't do O&G, paediatrics and others... They concentrate on dental surgery, dentistry, dental pathology and stuff like that...

Finally, its just 5yrs, not 6yrs like med school

erudite scholar: ABSUU is abia state university uturu. In 400L, we go to ABSUTH Aba for our clinicals.

Ok, just like us, but here, only 100L is done in unilorin, 200L and beyond is done at UITH, the college is just behind the teaching hospital

lathyph: ar u in d same level?

Well, we were once in the same level.....

lathyph: yeah is stil in lag,is he also failed his xam co he supposed 2 graduated dis yr

Hmmmm, I heard that too...

We all need prayers oooo

BTW I haven't seen any female medic here

ebsuguy: @tufe what do u understand by index....my course rep today came with the class list and ask us to make corrections in case our names and registration no was spelt wrongly because the faculty said they are sending it to the NMDCN for indexing....any1 here pls throw more light

Yeah, we also did that in our 200L....

I believe the indexing is to register medical and dental students into MDCN, so that screening at final year will be made easier...

tufe: Yessir they do, then proceed on to NYSC just like med docs. That's why they are both registered by the same council, Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).

@lagusta, I guess ur guys system is kinda different from ours then. Here in lasuth in 200L and 300L we do anatomy, biochem and physio wif a little of community health, then write out 1st MB in 300L.

We then begin junior posting in Med and surg, then anaesthesia. Pathology and pharmacology follows. After which we write our 2nd MB.

In 500L we do psychiatry, paediatrics and then O&G. After ward 3rd MB, then elective.

600L begins with intermediate posting comprising of all that. Then comm health posting and then senior posting. Finally 4th MB of med, surg and comm health.

Hmmmm, so which system is more stressful now?? ??

lathyph: pls do u knw ajani shakiru,he is also a finalist in college of medicin

Of course I kno him...... Haven't seen him in a while tho.....

Good lord!!! What could that be? Pin worms, bread crumbs, dust, or she pooped on her panties and it leaked....

Like someone else said, anybody that puts his key in her ignition must use not only acid, but even cyanide to wash his thingy, cos that is syphillo-gonno-HIV be dat ooooo.....

afol4dam: Is it true that dental students also do housemanship?

Yes they do, dental students do housemanship just like medical students after induction and graduation

snave007: I've always dreamt of studying mbbs, and I know it will surely come true.Amen

Amen, I pray 4 u too, and I pray God grants u your heart desire!!!

aliandro: Wat i was thinking is dat when a student gets 2 level 4,he or she wil choose his or her specialisation and proceed.but wit wot ave just read,its different

Yeah, u got it all wrong!!!

U specialize only when u finish and get registered into the MDCN, there are a lot of specialties to choose from...

aliandro: Lagusta,dats a gud explanation.wit d explanation u did,it means u would pass tru all d branches of mbbs b4 graduating.which exams have u repeat b4 and y was it so.

No exam has ever given me problem like pharmacology..... That subject turned me into an olodo meeehn.... Until I found out that the only way to pass it is to CRAM, omo I cram the katzung die, until I passed it by whiskers, one of my former coursemates, who was a B.sc comeback, was withdrawn cos of pharmacology...

tufe: Probably a mistake or something. ABSU is abia state Uni right?
@Lagusta, don't mind me saying he is d father of psychiatry. I am yet to domy posting in psychiatry I just spoke outta my own little knowledge being that his name seems to be mentioned often in psychiatry.if u guys do psychiatry in 600L, I'm guessing ur path and pharm is done in 300L, cause that's d system LUTH runs.
So @ebsuguy was lagusta's ansa good?

Ok, let me break it down for u.....

Here in unilorin, we do anatomy, physiology and biochemistry, with a bit of epidemiology, behavioural sciences, microbiology and a WHO program called COBES in 200L and 300L, pharmacology is introduced in 300L, there we write our 1st professional MBBS...

In 400L we do pathology and pharmacology. Pathology is made of anatomic pathology, chemical pathology, microbiology and haematology.... Then we do our junior medical and surgical postings (M1 and S1), then we write our part 1 final MBBS

In 500L, we do two postings of paediatrics and obstetrics and gynaecology each, with another surgical posting (S2) and community health, with 4weeks of COBES, then we write our part 2 final MBBS

In 600L, we do our special postings in anaesthesiology, radiology, ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology... with M2, then our final M3, S3 and psycho postings, finally we chill off at COBES for 4 weeks and write our part 3 final MBBS exam... If u pass, u r a doctor, if not u resit the exam in 3 months, then repeat if u fail again

We withdraw at 200L if u fail twice, 300L if u fail thrice and 400L if u fail 4 times (I didn't say repeat 4 times ooooo)

Well..........

What's this

erudite scholar: Hi fellow docs in making. Am a 200L medical student in ABSUU,though we call it PC1 here(pre clinicals 1). Any intending ABSUU medical student can just ask question any time. At poster, am happy for this thread.

Welcome, sorry but, where is ABSUU again....

The joke dey......

A pair of br.ea.sts.......

Ha ha ha ha ah, this one got me laffin all the way...

Hmmmm, these mods are very sensitive about what u post on the thread, maybe we should just keep it medical....

Now that is not possible, they must chat, gossip, abuse, curse, hug and say bye-bye, see u 2morro....

Then the cycle continues...

WOMEN..... SMH

Why were those posts hidden

Please, this thread is for ONLY MEDICAL STUDENTS!!!

We do not want any spammers, 419ers or adverts on this thread, please.... We can make do ourselves...

Thank you!

WHAT I DO WITH MY BLACKBERRY

Antimosquito: drives away mosquitoes within a one yard radius, useful when outside....

Mydoc2pdf converter: converts anything to pdf, I mean it, anything

Zipper: yeah, zip and unzip your files without using a PC, aint that wonderful??

OS7.1: that version can convert your blackberry into a hotspot, network dependent


Games: playtomo, combat ludo, pool, real football 2012.....


Who was that comparing a BB to a nokia E5, can an E5 act as a hotspot for free, can it convert docs to pdf, can it create word, ppt documents, is whatsapp encrypted

Please, gimme a blackberry and I show u a "small but mighty" phone....

Now that is gory and horrific, giving me goosebumps....

tufe: @lagusta looolz, but in my skool no one fails psychiatry. Infact d 500L guys that just did theirs were gisting in d hall from wot I hrd. Sha I know u r joking, for med skool everyone dey claim not knowing anything, but when results comes out u will just be seeing blasting up and down. God dey sha, when is ur exams?
@ebsuguy, that's d father of psychiatry noni. And I dare say, that guy musta been a case study himself

LOL, that's your school nah... We dey fail am wella 4 here, in fact we fail nearly all courses here... Our lecturers turn us into olodo. We do our psycho in 600L anyway.

Next week thursday nd friday na exam faa

ebsuguy: @ lagusta...what do u know about sigmund freud?.....

Sigmund freud? He was the greatest psychologist/psychiatrist of all time.... His model of the mind, psychosexual theory and even his interpretation of dreams don't have any rivals.... But I don't think he is the father of psychiatry

tufe: Sorry ke! Haba! U were well on point now. Was jst being specific. Those northern peeps are lucky, but how many medical personels wud be willing to go there to work, well at least those rom d south. #justsaying tho.
So which posting are you doing anyway?

No probs doc!!!

But some northern states are a bit peaceful, like some parts of sokoto, so maybe UDUTH won't be a bad idea. #jstsayingtho...


Anyways I will finish my psychiatric posting next week, and I don't kno anything... GOD HELEP ME OOOOO!!!!!

tufe: LASUTH HO's are paid N169K. I know dis cause I'm a 400L student here.

165-169, just 4000 difference....

Anyway sorry for the error shaa

Garri has survived through the ages....

Even our great great great great grandpapas don soak the tin one time or the other

Where was indomie then.... No be 1993 the worm-like tin enta naija


Abeg garri all the way jare.....
