Doclight: nice contribution!

What about on the student level, does it still defers?

YES and NO

YES cos the factors that are in favour of the federal schools will also translate to better training and teaching of doctors.

No, cos the state teaching hospitals too must have attained a MINIMUM standard needed to train doctors. If that is the case, than any MOTIVATED student can attain any height as obtainable in the federal hospitals.

It's statistics. For eg, it is possible any given student from a state hospital to better than another given student from the federal hospital, with both in the same class. But when you take the AVERAGE, it should be seen that the average federal student will have received more ''training and exposure'' than the average state-hospital trained doctor.

But note that being a ''good doctor'' transcends the institution where one was trained. It is the sum total of who and what the doctor is.

Carefully observn

omicron: RESOURCES - Federal government has more resources at its disposal. All othef things being equal, this makes the Federal Instititions more efficient. More resources, more equipment, more pay for workers, more research, more most things.

HUMAN CAPITAL - Federal Teaching hospitals attract more great professors, consultants and lecturers than the state-owned. Reason? Refer to 1 above

History: UCH, UNTH, LUTH, ABUTH, OAUTH, UBTH. You cannot compare the influence the histories of these schools/hospitals have in attracting the best manpower and the best students across the country. More History, more prestige, more pressure to be among the best.

You've said my mind. In addition to the above, moderate school fees in federal unis too. Ka Chineke mezizie okwu ya.

Ya. Federal school calender is also more trustworthy. State Uni can be frustrating when the governor is doing practically nothing except self agrandizement.

sainty2k3:
My experience so far, there is no doctor from federal or doctor from state university, all we have is good doctors and the bad ones. Any school accredited to train medical students definitely have what it takes to produce a Good doctor, be it federal university or state owned university

true.

you've said most of what needs to be said.

I think state teaching hospitals can meet whatever standards are required (at least the patients are there), but good management and administration are very necessary.
