Lexusgs430:


Medical officer does not necessarily refer to a medical doctor.
In this instance, did she perform a medical doctors role?

I'm a medic, a medical officer is a "DOCTOR" who has graduated from medical school (MBBS) but doesn't go into specialization/residency after graduation.

Lool.... Who Told u that Come, the way u re sounding cf... Am sure u just entering yr2.

1stly I would like you to be guided in your statements.

2ndly I would like you to mention schools you know that accepts people from other departments into medicine. I would love to learn before you start attacking persons who are way ahead of you in terms of accomplishments

IFEZINX1:
Pls does anybody knw hw change of department works in unizik.....from health sciences to medicine

I doubt you can change from any program to medicine.

I laff in spanish sha @op
Where PHARMACY dey

You don't have to cry, it's the OP's own opinion, if he doesn't see pharmacy fit then it's his believe. You don't have to beg to be relevant. If it is then people would say it. You don't have to praise yourself. Meanwhile, Medicine and Surgery: According to Wikipedia is the number preferred choice of study of parents for thier kids in the world. #THE DOCTORS

Wetin be UK, imagine? UK is dead already. Who wants to go there? People I know that are in UK, can't build a duplex house in Nigeria. I always feel sorry for people wey dey UK

Bros, have you ever left the shores of your village

Donpre:

I hoping that means medical student.

If so, I would love if you can help with the following questions

1. How would you rate unizik, as a med school? the lecturers, facilities, environs etc.

2. what was the supposed jamb cut off for 2015, I know 2016 was different.

3. How many students are admitted yearly for medicine.... Possibly a ratio of indigenes to non-indegenes would be deeply appreciated

Thanks you sir!

Unizik is accredited and it's a good school

2015: 292.5

The MDCN accredited quota for Medicine and Surgery is 100. There's no such ratio in any university in Nigeria. What we have is Merit: 60% Locality: 25% and Educationally Less Developed states: 15%

Please note that yearly thousands of people apply for medicine in a limited space of 100. Last year almost 7000 people applied for medicine in Unizik, aside the prescience thing other universities have higher numbers for fewer spaces some having as many as 12000 applicants. So you know only the very very best are picked. All over the world Medicine and Surgery remains the most noble profession and the competition for admission is very tight(forget those adverts that promises you 1st class admission into medicine in various countries, if you are not hardworking you'll end up in a science or allied health course. There medicine is a 2nd degree and u must 1st attain a very high CGPA in your 1st and a very high MCAT score afterwards so you see it's not as easy as it looks) Not everyone would be admitted, but people would be admitted. You can be among the few. so disabuse your mind from the so called : I wasn't given admission because I don't know anybody thing. It's a means people console themselves for their failures. STAY AWAY FROM SUCH PEOPLE. Work hard too.

I hope to see you doing resisdency under me someday. GOODLUCK FUTURE DOC

I dunno am new too..... Bt d fact still remains there were irregularities in d admission....I hav a friend dat scored 310 nd nt admitted into medicine nd 223 got admission....tho we all love to protect d image of our school bt truth b told d admission policy needs to b looked into.. Thanks

Told you earlier, I'm tired of my friend this, my sister that. I want someone to come out and say I SCORED THIS AND WAS NOT GIVEN" Also noted that Admission isn't based on JAMB Alone, how was his WAEC, post UTME if any. There's what we call MERIT, LOCALITY AND ELDS that also would be taken into account. As for the guy with 223 if truly there is, the supplementary thing is still there, or vc list as people call it. But it's very FEW. And trust me, almost all of them would eventually be flushed out if they don't situp. My friend study hard and stop lying to yourself and giving yourself fake hope. If medicine is what you want work hard you'll get it. I wrote JAMB twice so I could endup in Medicine. My 1st JAMB got me my 2nd choice. Medical Laboratory Science I had one of the best CGPA's in year 1. But that wasn't what i wanted so i had to putin again in year 1 workered harder, restratigized and prayed. We thank God it was successful. That was years back. The problem most people have is that instead of looking inwards and blaming themselves and then go back to the drawing board, find loopholes and restratigized and work harder. Instead the rather compensate themselves by going insearch of stories about a friend of a friend who scored 400 and wasn't given and 1 Proffessor son who had 190 and was given and all that trash. My 1st JAMB i missed medicine by 5marks but I never blamed anyone, I blame myself for not working hard enough couple with Secondary school mentality. Hope this helps

jemmiee:
That's true. Although anatomy and physiology graduates from Unical can go straight into Clinicals because they offer same courses with medicine students till year three.

Lies! Bro. Lies! Do Anatomy students in Unical offer: Clinical BCM, FORENSIC BCM, NEUROPHYSIOLOGY, AMINO ACID METAB, ETC Do PHYSIOLOGY Offer: NEUROANATOMY, CARB NETAB, LAPID METAB, ETC.

And please don't lie about ethnicity, UNICAL is very transparent in giving admission please

One is for medicine nd d other is for medrehab after it was changed.

I can't see a thing in that picture, how do i get it privately

If u schooled at unizik den u shuld knw abt dia prescience programme.....d best 5 is given medicine bt dis year after given us medicine which we merited via prescience nd paid acceptance fee,they changed our courses .

Whether it is a synonym or not both are different based on context (noun or verb). No doctor I repeat no doctor can order a MLS into doing what is good for the betterment of the patient. A doctor can order a fellow doctor but when the services of another professional is needed he requests for it cos he so desires of it.

Yes MLS only few years back blown into a degree just like every other course has its humble beginning as Medicine started as health attendant and now MBBS degree so it will only take a little time we'll get there.

Everyone is guilty of hasty generalisation so no qualms.

1stly, There's no big deal weda order or request. A doctor orders a test to be done, or he request a test result.
2ndly Medicine has always been medicine from the ancient times, they were only 3 learned professions; The Physician, The Scribe(Lawyer), The priest. Everyother profession was referred to as Phylosophy and grew from there. Please make good to check that up: the origin of the title Doctor (both Academic and medical). Medical laboratory science grew from medicine, in the past doctors carried out laboratory investigations themselves, but due to the fact that it was too stressful having to carry out a laboratory test, and inteprete it and come to a diagnosis and therapy. The brought in some groups of semi illiterates (what today we now have as MLS) to help them out with running of the test which they saw as having need less skill and was less noble for doctors to do. Hence the word ORDER for a test as the were working under doctors, but in the modern day Healthcare were there's harmony and to promote unity the word ORDER is becoming obsolete, and REQUEST is being preferred. Although some countries still uses that term. #Back to my story.
Over the years, This semi illetrates started acquring more and more training and went on more research and started gaining independence from the doctors who taught them this craft and inorder to meet with the ever unending modernization of healthcare care and advance medical practice. MLS was upgraded into a diploma and later a Degree as it is now and some countries Doctorate Degree. Or what we call MLS.D or D.MLS.

are you student of unizik?

I'm a medic

There's no where in the world a MLS is referred to as a technician (they are 2 different categories and they (MLT) do not possess a Bachelors degree in Medical laboratory science). A technician is a diploma holder from school of health technology.
No doctor can ORDER a MLS on a test to be done rather it's REQUESTED.

A doctor can order fellow doctors but but when a laboratory investigation is involved, he requests their services hence a REQUEST form for that analysis is filled not an ORDER form (Use of English)

Here is what Google and Wikipedia says about Medical laboratory science and technologist. In certain countries like Canada the Bachelor degree in Medical laboratory science is called a technologist and in most other countries it's used interchangeably eg USA

Be guided in your statements, "ORDER" is a synonym for "REQUEST." MLS was only but recently made into a full blown degree. The techician post was hasty generalization and I'm sorry for that.

Abt d pple dat got tru jamb its rily unfortunate dat d "I knw somebody" factor played out very well..someone wth 310 didn't gt admission nd u will see lower score lyk 209,232,223 getting medicine.....according to a friend dat scored very low nd actually paid(to d registrar) to b included in d vc list, he met d registrar today nd d man said jamb haven't approved d list cos of many low scores been placed into medicine ,pharmacy etc.

Stop peddling lies. Medicine admission is strictly on merit there's no way you beat the cutoff mark and won't get admitted. If you doubt me show proof of yours or anyone's once I verify it I would give you 30,000naira. Free money. Just proof me wrong. As for VC List, there's always going to be a FEW persons who would make it in through that but trust me if they don't sit up they'll be flushed out, just like they did in my time. Please I'm tired of seeing all this; my friend father this, my uncle's sister that. Show me proof that you actually beat the porn and make free money. Be guided in your statement please. Thank you

Please radiographers in the house I'm suggesting to put radiography as my course in JAMB this year, I want you all to tell me the basic things I need to know about it.
I hope the course is brain cracking too, because I love being busy to find solutions.

And also what is the difference between a radiographer and a radiologist?

The only university I found that does Medical Radiography And Radiological Science in Nigeria is Bayero University Kano, I need your advice.

Thanks.

A Radiologist is a medical doctor (MBBS) who has completed medical school and specializes in Radiology. He intepretes radiographic images and interacts with doctors on other treatments plan, he also carries out other duties of a medical doctor such as Writing prescriptions, death certificate, clerking of patients, etc.

A Radiographer is an imaging scientists he operates the Machines ( he is the master of his tools) , positions the patient and carries out the request of a doctor for a scan, runs the scan.

hey guys I'm dreaming to become a medical laboratory scientist is ma big dream but I want to ask is there n diff BTW a physician-scientist and a medical scientist (MLS)

A physician scientists is a medical doctor (MBBS) who after graduating from medical school specialises as a pathologist( a doctor) in laboratory medicine. A branch of medicine and surgery. He intepretes test results and interacts with others doctors for progressive management plan. While the Medical laboratory scientists or technician( in some cases) are Bsc holders in Medical laboratory science (B.mls) who carry out test results on the orders of a doctor. They both work together for the betterment of the patients.

dhevid:
Good day everyone

am a student of medical laboratory science, currently in 200L and I want to as this, in MlS we have sub specialties

like haematology, medical micro biology, chemical pathology and so on

but I have checked my handbook and I find out that doctors are usually the head of departments of the specialties in my sch teaching hospital





is dis not disparity?


and please can medical laboratory scientists be consultants in a hospital?

Anyone can be a consultant in any field, but in the hospital the consultant statues refers to the relationship between a Doctor and a patient. So only a Doctor can become a consultant. Please note not every doctor is a consultant

Hassanckg:
Pls. is it possible for medical lab. scientist to later change to medical doctor & what is the procedure?

Yes it is. You have to write JAMB Again and gain admission into Medicine or come back as a Direct Entry into Medicine as a 2nd degree. They're certain creteria you must meet in both

nelszx:


Degree in Medicine (MBBS/M.D) for Physician scientist
Degree in Medical Laboratory Science (BMLS) for Medical scientist. Both work together for Clinical and research purpose.
The title physician scientist is obsolete in a Nigerian setting

A physician scientists is a medical doctor (MBBS) who after graduating from medical school specialises as a pathologist( a doctor) in laboratory medicine. A branch of medicine and surgery.
