Hello senior colleagues in the house, please I need guidance. I crossed over to Unilag, college of medicine and we started lectures today. I am in Dentistry. We are together with mbbs. I tell you, everything is looking like chinese. We haven't met senior colleagues yet but I want to start reading - no piling up. I need soft copies of recommended Anatomy and Physiology textbooks. my email is dimejikel@yahoo.com

Thank you.

Congratulations on the crossing over, very few make it that far. U already on the right path just keep up the hard work, be consistent, never go a day without going through your class notes backed up with textbooks. All the best dont worry with time "Chinese" will be ur normal lingo
.. Meaning you would be using all those big big words to play... Oh and remember to always relate all you do to real life... The biochemical activities, normal physiologu, anatomy etc..

Cheers bro, see you at the top.. Was in ur shoes few weeks ago..

Been a while I dropped by, keep it up guys cheers

pdjohnson:
yes sir i have considered that, well i have visited UI college of medicine and undergradute admissions office for enquiries and they have given.
me a positive go ahead to apply as its a bioscience course.
also the past provost college of health science of my alma matter has also given me the go ahead to apply in uniport

nonetheless i'm still curious so wanted to take advice from you medics who better understands

over the years some universities have accepted botany candidates as a de into mbbs, just hope things havent changed

If they said its OK good but to be honest dont put your hopes in what they said, try all avenues take jamb so you have plenty choices and aren't limited.

Nahdeh:
i also got a B2 in agriculture i heard some universities accept it in place of biology is this true?
If its not are there any other strategies to get the medical course?

Olevels is still required.

Good day house. I am a 200 level student of unical studying physiology. Physiology is not my passion. Not that I hate it but I don't wanna do it. I am thinking of taking jamb next year to another school to study medsurg or related cousins like dentistry, obstetrics and gynaecology, orthopaedic surgery or any professional medical course, pls advise me on what to do. Also, what's your take on University of medical sciences, ondo?. Thanks.

U can try nursing, physiotherapy, dentistry, med lab, etc the others like surg,or tho,gyne,etc are medical specialties that require a MBBS.

Unimed is OK new school but OK, hopefully the accreditation should come on time as they are really working to meet mdcn criteria
Good luck in ur journey

I know how it feels to want something so so bad. For years I had been trying to get med, got zoology, did unilag diploma didn't get it then I gave up nd continued my degree made the best out of it and finished with a good 2:1. Went for service applied DE to unilag nd Lasu service year no avail. At a point i just gave up nd started applying to banks nd stuff till at and interview one of the interviewed roasted me, when I told her it was actually med I wanted to do but didn't get it. There and then I got a new sense of view reapplied DE ndnjamb had closed for utme. Chose Lasu but along the line heard about unimed, trued my luck and I got admitted into unimed. Lasu I didn't get.

To cut the long story short, everything really happens for a reason and its all according to Gods plan for you so you can get to ur expected end. If med is your expected end dont be dismayed if you don't get it at first. People called me foolish, misguided, selfish, friends laughed at me, but friend God bless his soul encouraged me on. Just kept chasing that rejection might be a way for God to tell you you aren't ready yet or he has something better in stock for you.

All the best to all aspirants may ur status change soon.

Guys pls help. I just graduated from uni. with microbiology. But I'm still nursing the dream to study medicine. being trying jamb since my hundred level days I got closest in my 200 but I didn't gain as den. I did again dis year my result WS very poor 245 and was way off the cutoff mark. Medicine is my dream and age is no longer on my side I don't know wat to do shd I move on from medicine or keep trying.

If its really what's meant for you age shouldn't be a deterrent, keep chasing you dream what's the point living a life that's full of regrets and what its? Scroll up and be inspired don't let age be the excuse for not chasing ur dreams.

Congrats thewhizzkid1 more grace nd grease, y'all giving me hope even though the mountain looking helps scary. Please who can help with lasts anatomy, thanks .

The SCAPLES
[The Dead teaching the Living]
.
His name is Chijioke, average in height... With his thick dread locked long hairs and well carved bears..... Looking very young
I guessed him to be in his late 20s or early 30s.... he had a chocolate skin now black due to the manifestation of the preservatives....
Lying in the Supine position, adjacent to him is Okechukwu, he looks like a giant, with his fine low black hair cut and bears.... smiling at the uncertainty, the mouth half covered, some upper path of his teeth showing....
On the tags placed on their wrist and ankle, the former Died on the 26th day of August 2016, while the later Died on 16th of september 2016....
That's the two cadavers that really caught my attention aside many others that were lying in supine position, some cut beyond recognition while others are yet uncut, all littered as We all entered the Gross Anatomy Laboratory, Dept of Anatomy, College of Medicine..... for one of the preclinical practicals..... DISSECTION
.

I have been hearing about this cadaveric experiences, but I never expected it to be like this, at least not so soon.....
I wasn't really scared at first but when reality dawns, I was a bit shaken when the instructions for us to dissect the cadaver came.....
I refused to swallow my saliva throughout the section, I vomited once and spitted many times....The smell of the formalin and the cadavers wasn't funny, I refused to dissect because I want to make sure that those cadavers won't wake up and tell us that we are hurting them....
As the lab attendant will say, "find the cephalic vein and appreciate it" I began to ask myself what kind of anatomical terminology was that....what are we appreciating please
.

It was really nice seeing and feeling the cutaneous nerves and the cephalic veins from the deltopectoral groove running through the arm...
Indeed, the road to been a doctor is not easy, somehow, I wish its the last day to that Anatomy practicals, but only for my mind to bring me back to reality that it is actually the first time and I will be there for 1yr and 4 months.
.
I imagined this people when they are alive, when they were energetic.....full of life....
How Chijioke will be flaunting his manliness and dread locks..... How he will have a nickname like everyone else, probably his friends nick naming him "Dada"
I imagined where he is now.....if his spirit will be somewhere around the corner watching people dressed on cooperate wears, with white lab coats to match, wearing surgical/Dissecting gloves and mask, with scaples in their hands, using him to practicalize how to become Surgeons....
Honestly, getting medsurg/dentalsurg sounded so sweet and mighty, but passing through the college is where the work lies.....
More respects to all the MBBS/BDS graduates......u really passed through acid tests.....
A welcome to Medical/Dental school....where the Dead teaches the Living

Nice that preclinical experience..... Yet to start dissections but seen the cadavers, still coming to terms that they were once alive.... But then we learn from them so we can improve the quality of life of our future patients even if we can't treat them to wellness

Surely this year has been a good year ... Looking forward to greater heights...

Sorry this is coming late... Anyway
better late than never


Congratulations!! oga millex... Gonna join you soon(in med school)

Thanks bro, in due course

CnCstore:
Which university?

University of Medical sciences, Ondo state.

Med school gradually kicking in, so is the fear but the motivation from men before me here is helping with God helping me I will scale through.

Saw my first cadaver in person during intro to anatomy lab.... I can't unsee what i saw, but in that moment I felt inspired and whispered quietly to the cadaver, " thank you for your service" especially remembering where we have come from. From the grave robberies to the illegal dissections, to the freedom to learn from them.

I guess its still rookie motivation but that's how I feel.
#Privilegedtobeamedic,

Wow first few days in med school and I am supposed to be so excited to be learning anatomy as it helps my appreciate the normal structures and histo even though its all pink let's not forget the developing human, physiology and biochemistry. Right now I am a little too tired to be joyous, with the barrage of assignments, notes and stuff we expected to learn.
In all still love every single second of it.....
