THE AGONY OF UNEMPLOYED MEDICAL GRADUATES IN NIGERIA©

It is no longer news to the world and especially to Nigerians, the rate and vigour with which corruption in its different forms has invaded every facet of Nigeria's institutions. It seems to have become part of the genetic composition of most Nigerians if not all.

An aspect that inevitably affect youth develepmont and empowerment is worth discussing taking the medical sector which plays a critical role in nation building and economic development:

1) Collection of mandatory levy from applicants --- this usually happens before the submission of applications for job interview, jobs that the applicant is not sure he/she will get.

While the present government is planning to alleviate poverty by paying the unemployed youth some token for their upkeep, these employers - so called government workers and heads of institutions - set up their own wicked strategies to impoverish these unemployed teeming number of medical and health graduates by collecting huge sums from them before allowing them to sit for job interviews.This is so common most especially among the teaching hospitals in the western and south-eastern part of the country.

Just last year(2015), UCTH and UPTH collected N5000 from newly graduated doctors for their interview. The same year UNILORIN Teaching Hospital collected the same amount for the same reason of job interview, LASUTH charged the same amount. Many other hospitals did the same. Currently, Ekiti State Teaching Hospital is collecting N5000 (being the price of the application form) from these newly graduated medical doctors. Bear in mind that these fresh doctors have to do their one year mandatory internship programme. They have temporary licences and must do this within a limited time. They are entirely on their own and must compete with one another and with doctors trained abroad for the few placements available in the qualified hospitals.

These graduates will not only pay the mandatory fee, but will also risk their lives transporting themselves to the various venues of these interviews, lodge in hotels and cater for themselves etc. Where will they get funds and supports from knowing fully well that they are yet to start work, implying that the burden stil falls back to their parents and guardians who must have spent enormously in seeing them through medical school. Why do these MDs and CMDs, want to further impoverish the already poor young graduates before giving them their rightful placements? Is it what the Federal Government asked them to do? These question demand urgent answers!

2) The epidemic of I.M (ima mmadu OR to know somebody) in Nigerian employment system:

Merit is no longer recognised in the Nigerian employment system. After paying a heavy application fee, working hard to pass an the interview, you still are not sure of getting the job unless you know somebody or somebody who know somebody within the institution who can secure the job for you. For example, how can the best graduating students of reputable colleges of medicine go for interview at institutions different from their alma mater & not even one of the best ten graduating students get placements. You have to know some body before you can get a job. Those that don't know any body are automatically hopeless.

How can you explain the fact that someone re-sitting his final exams (ie he has not yet graduated, has no license and can not apply for internship) nevertheless participates in the job interview organized by his alma mater and gets a placement ahead of those that have graduated.

The situation is really discouraging hard work among youths, since hard work is no longer recognised. NAUTH has been delaying the list of succesful candidates, presumably because of the same reasons.

3) Buying of placements:
Here, the employer will collect application fees, conduct interviews, cast all the result of the interview into the waste paper basket and then commence the phase of auctioning the placements. Huge sums are unofficially/covertly collected from the employees before employing them. In UNTH and ESUTH, many have had to pay at least N150,000 and above before they could get housemanship . Is this part of the Youth Empowerment Programme?

4) Ghost workers in Nigerian employment system:

This particularly refers to a situation where an institution accredited and financially equipped to employ for instance 200 workers, decides to employ about 150. It then takes appropriate measures to secure the salary of the other 50 for the boss' pocket.

Ghost workers exist almost everywhere in Nigerian institutions. Take the case of UNTH that is budgeted to employ/train 180 house officers, but only employs about 120-125, with about less than half of them being their own graduants while the rest are abroad-trained doctors who heavily lobbied themselves into the system.
This creates artificial scarcity of jobs, making it difficult and impossible for all the graduates to promptly do their mandatory one year internships. Just as happens during artificial fuel scarcity, these wicked MDs and CMDs enrich themselves grossly from these situations.

Another phenomenon probably unique to medical internships is the possibility of doing the internship more than once. The salary is attractive and there is lack of nationally centralized control over the internship programme. With the appropriate corrupt means at the individual's disposal, he/she can get a fresh placement in a different hospital and can do multiple internships. This obviously denies fresh graduates their rightful placements.

It is clear that our senior colleagues, our leaders, our fathers and our elders in privileged positions are the very ones frustrating the youths of this country.

What is happening in the medical sector is pitiable! The role of our CMDs is scandalous! The practice of young interns who block their unemployed colleagues from getting slots by doing internship over and over again to make more money is totally wicked and punishable by Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria(MDCN). The silence of MDCN on the ongoing mess is the height of negligence of duty to protect the profession from ridicule! Finally, the inability of young medical graduates to articulate their experiences and speak out to the authorities is an act of timidity. Evil thrives when good men fail to speak up! I just weep for our corrupt generation.

Let this serve as a clarion call to all individuals and agencies capable and responsible for looking into matters such as these to come to our rescue.

Thanks. God bless Nigeria

Demmocrats:



I understand your pain more than you know, its pathetic seeing others get juicy jobs because of IM.

phineas:
Unserious kid on a pity party tale expecting life to be served by mummy and daddy like the undergrad days.I may be wrong. But this is how it works.You hustle.In every profession the hustle its real,you don't sit at home and expect housejob placements or real jobs for that matter.

Medecine is the job with the most opportunities at home and abroad for Nigerian graduates of medicine and you are there lamenting, the course that no week passes without calls for CV's in the paper.I'll bet you dont buy the papers and you're searching for jobs,Like seriously.If you feel there's no hope in Naija it takes 5 months to pass plab, leave and get a decent job in the UK,other options abound Australia,west indies etc so what are you waiting for?This post is for someone out there willing to help themselves.

Ill call it Phineas verses of wisdom for the brotherhood of the snake and cross.Sounds spooky,I know.

1-Be polite to your senior colleagues in school and stay in touch.
you senior colleagues are the key to opportunities in the medical world,that is students 3 yrs and above in school,they go ahead and by the time you are finshing NYSC they tell you of openings at their facilities,organizations and that of their collegues.

2-House job matter.
If you cant get into the federal system,stalk your state.Go to your state of origin,take a letter from your chairman, LGA Councillor,senator,grandfather,anybody just convince them repeatedly you're from your state,and have your family talk to everyone chances are you;ll get consideration above other applicants,If that fails,lots of private facilities offer housemanship,Baptist Hospitals,Catholic Hospitals,Eko Hospital,Not sure of ST Nicholas,etc.Arm yourself with that information and confirm their application periods,be willing to travel keep applying.You definitely cant be complaining about the 5k registration,if you're serious considering your speed of advancement and escape depends on this rate limiting step.

3-Decide if you're for Naija or "the Abroad",If Naija,For Clinical or Non Clinical Specialty
Decide and start your preparations in NYSC year with money saved from housejob.

4-If you're "the abroad" gang,
From start to finish it takes an average of 6 months to finish plab and start scouting for job placements which should take like 2 months thereabout for locum, after which you can then have good money to sort which of the abroad hustle you want. You can do PLAB from Naija travelling to and fro,during NYSC.
Save your housejob money for this purpose dont dash any relative eager to eat the fruit of their labour,save your parents though and even they should understand theres a bigger purpose to the picture.

5-If you're for Naija core Clinical,"the I want to serve my country and my people"(And you guyz deserve awards and acolades......)
(they eventually get disillusioned and join "the abroad gang" last last,or stay and grumble about everything whilst going on incessant strikes,or start Private practice)

Write primaries ASAP and start the search for residency ASAP,Consider same techniques as it was for Housejob Placements.
Don't waste time in PP except you own it,It is a waste of destinies.

6-If youre for Non core Clinical consider;
-Occupational Health-Company Dr
-Epidemiology-Disease surveillance etc
-Public Health-Program administration,project management
-dumping the stethoscope completely and starting farming for instance or politics,or work in the bank

If you've decided for Non Clinical,then Start gaining relevant experience Like ASAP in required field so you rise up the rank.
to find medical opportunities,read the dallies,apply and reapply,stay in touch with senior colleagues,volunteer.

Lastly Don't be afraid to travel all over Nigeria for opportunities,Now is the time to leave home in order to grow.Just be sure its the right kind of experience,that you are gathering,the kind you really want,and when you have sufficient experience don't sit and let life happen to you,apply and keep reapplying.Buy the papers ,use medical job sites for Nigeria and abroad.

Medcine in Nigeria is where some people earn 150k per month till midlife whilst some earn over 2m a month for years even in Naija.Ultimately,the choice is yours and how you choose to plan your life.

Its certainly wont happen by whining about how unfair life is to you.

Summary is Medcine is a brotherhood,"don't be a lone wolf"

I hope this helps someone.

U are trying to cover up what is obviously a bad situation.

abumeinben:


Doctors or all graduates...

Everywia una like preferential treatment...

The medical student wey welcome me to school during ma matric, na hin bid me bye bye when I do ma convocation.


But I pity them sha...but but must they do house job in teaching hospitals? What happens to other hospitals?

It's like when we dey find IT placement, every Engineering student wanted Chevron, total, MTN, Interswitch, GTBank, NNPC, SPDC, NPDC.....

At the end of 6 months, na only one month IT I did

On a seriou note, I don't really want this monthly 5k approved by the govt for us graduates. I just hope this money can be put into our nigerian industries so as to create more employment for us.
Its better to show how to teach a man how to fish than to be giving him fish everytime he needs it... Just look at the rate of unemployment in Nigeria now and see what am talking about...

So unemployment also now affects medical practitioners? Am surprised to hear dis

you say 'root cause' ? What is the root cause other than the unfortunate sharp divisions along ethno-religious lines?

Do you ever think igbo, yoruba and Hausa youths will ever rise for a common purpose?

Against who? Doesn't the enemy have an Ethnic group?

Nzeogwu tried the uprising and it immediately became an 'Igbo coup' an led to a civil war.

It was not, is not, and will never be possible.

My dear there is no headway. Nigeria's situation is pathetic.

No nation develops when it spends a large chunk of its earnings trying to force its people to be united when in other clime pple themselves drive development

One thing about truth is that it keeps bringing up its stubborn head. Only the truth can save us.

MIKOLOWISKA:
you know how many of una seniors don be part of these successive govt. what are you doing to change it

DBestDoc:


Read your comment well, then come back and tell us who is talking trash, you or the Op..
Which certificate are they verifying when they already have temporary practice licence issued by the MDCN?

IMO, if MDCN is a competent body, then all verification done by them before issuing temporary licences is good enough.

Lets say verification is needed, what does it take for the Hospital to contact various schools and verify candidates' info. from them in this internet era? The hospitals have departments structured for this purpose with paid staff.

5k sounds small but that is just to apply to one Hospital. For someone applying to four different hospitals, it amounts to 20k, excluding transportation, accommodation and feeding cost. Do the maths bearing in mind that this person is an applicant without a steady source of income.

The more we make excuses for stuffs like this, the more the country goes from bad to worse.
