I am a 200 lvl student of human physiology in a fed univ.I re applied for jamb again due to my dissatisfaction with job prospects as regards human physiology I chose mechanical engineering but I was offered anoda course materials and metallurgical engineering. Which also has little employment opportunities.. Should I go for it( since it's an engineering course) or I shd continue with my present course....
Pls reasonable advices only

Am also an anatomy graduate from unilorin, 3yrs now without job. I wanted to apply for chem path at MSc level only to be told that i cant pratice in a lab since i didnt study a lab course in my undergraduate. i feel this field should b wiped off as an undergraduate hons
I would seriously like to relate with you titi. I'm also a graduate of physiology from unilorin but even if I have lots of regrets, I still thank God for my life. I just had to move on and focus on a totally different field. Prior to graduation, I had so many things on my mind, e.g doing ICAN, going for another undergraduate course in fields like economics etc. I had to start up a small business just to make ends meet. Physiology, anatomy and courses tagged under BMS is practically a waste of time and finance I must say because the labour market doesn't need you (yes I said so) because the jobs that are meant for BMS graduates are already being taken over by the so called ''doctors''. Little wonder you were denied studying chem path at Msc level. Come to think of it, if an MBBS holder should apply for chem path at Msc level, I bet my life they won't hesitate to admit such fellow.
Its so painful that people who fail to get admission to study medicine are being disposed off into physiology and anatomy and left to suffer for nothing and I keep wondering how many of this category of graduates do we need to keep producing every year. This is total brutality because we practically do what the MBBS holders do. The only difference between us is that at the end, we are given a ''useless'' Bsc degree while they get a very ''useful'' MBBS degree. A few things they do in clinical science too also makes up the little difference.
My advice to those coming behind is never accept any offer to study physiology or anatomy. You will waste four years of your delicate life thinking the future is bright for you but at the end, you would be full of regrets ( I don't pray for such for anyone). Secondly, don't be carried away by that statement people make these days ''this is Nigeria, you can work anywhere with any certificate''. My dear brothers and sisters don't be deceived, don't let anyone come and tell you that ''i know of someone that studied yoruba and is working in the bank''. Come to think of it, will you just carry your certificate in yoruba and your C.V and apply for a bank job? (in fact, the receptionist will just fling your documents away) This is near impossible and the only way it can be possible and work out is having a very good connection (which is what Nigeria is all about today) and the special grace of God.
Also, winners72 talked about taking JAMB again for a second degree. I must say that isn't a bad idea at all. Before graduation, I was so desperate to get out of physiology and do something better that I wrote JAMB in 100L, 200L and even 300L all of which didn't work out. And this year, just like winners72, I might be writing UTME again with kids i'm old enough to give birth to but such is life, you just have to move on and don't be down casted. The beauty about education is that it doesn't have limit. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo who was in his 70's and went back to school sometimes last year isn't a fool. He knew what he wanted to achieve but however if you feel you don't want to take this step again, there are lots and lots of things you can venture into. You can take ICAN and within 1 1/2 years, if you do very well, you would be certified. The business and entrepreneurship world is also there for you.
Bottom line is bone your age, shun your status and look for something good to do. I seriously don't like it when people like titi or winners72 come here to say they've been looking for jobs for 3-5 years. If the jobs don't come to you then go to the jobs.... Oh did I ever tell you I once applied as a driver for a company here in lagos grin well thats another story for another day.

Nursing science is a very beautiful course. The thing is if you want to enjoy these things, just travel out overseas and you will be amazed. Let me give you a very good example. There are so many graduates of dentistry and dental surgery (BDS) that are so bitter about their lives here in Nigeria why? Because our mentality in this useless country is so much inclined towards the MBBS degree to the extent that MBBS holders do almost all the jobs of even BDS holders. Its here in Nigeria that you will find a surgeon who isn't a medical microbiologist or even a pathologist or a laboratory scientist performing test on the stool of a patient. In Nigeria, its the same doctor that will treat your eye that will still treat your skin, bones, attend to your sexual disfunction, work on your blood, heart and even your teeth that is meant to be checked by a dentist. There is no specialty at all and don't let those people deceive you by the so called residency training they do. 90% of them will not stick to it. So like I said earlier brother, if you have the money, travel out of the country. A BDS holder in Nigeria will not enjoy his life because how many people go to the dentist here? but in the USA for example, they are even more paid than the medical doctors. I have so many nurses (males for that matter) that are doing just fine. The medical field is so much appreciated there irrespective of the field. Oh wait a minute, imagine what a physiotherapist would be doing here in Nigeria ? grin Over there, they are making it big time. There are greener pastures off the shores of this country. Its left for you to exploit them.

shocked shocked shocked shocked You see thats always the costly mistake you kids make. Never allow any human to define your goals or have any influence on your career path. They'll lead you astray. Its advisable to do your own proper research and thorough enquiries before taking any step in life (all on your own and without the help of any fellow). If you feel industrial chemistry is best for you and you already have your future plans and aims arranged, then continue nut if you feel the course is not necessary, not professional and you deserve better than that, please kindly find a way out before its too late.

Pls don't come and deceive people here that you know of people that studied physiology and are working in pharmaceutical companies or people that studied physiology and are working with WEMA bank or Dangote or chevron. From the information I've harnessed from this thread so far, that person you know of working with a pharmaceutical company is you. That's not to say I should get you wrong, if you know of physiology graduates that are now working with pharmaceutical companies, kindly share how they did it so that others can benefit. Thanks.

I've been following this thread for a while and I feel its high time I commented. Physiology and Anatomy I must confess is a total waste of time and finance. Its just like someone seeking a degree in mathematics and another seeking a degree in algebra. Why would an employee attend to a graduate of algebra when he has a mathematician at his disposal? That's the case with BMS. The jobs that are meant for you guys are already occupied by the doctors. The way the discrimination is growing by the day is so alarming. I used to tell people then that its pays to study an easy course like French or human kinetics and come out with a first class and your life will be better than study anything as hard as BMS and remain frustrated for years. The best thing to do is to just branch out totally or go for a second degree. Even if you manage to get a job in a pharm firm like liverpoolfc, I'm sorry to say, how much will they be paying you. Anytime I remember the money I spent those days on my final year project as a physiology undergraduate , I always wanna cry because BMS in general is one of those courses where you spend a whole lot of money just to do final year project alone before you are being released to graduate.
BMS courses are not professional courses, rather they are study courses which are highly unrecognized and unfamiliar when I was in the university, anytime someone ask me about what I'm studying, I tell them physiology and they be like "Sorry did you mean psychology ?" and the next question that usually follow is "Alright then where can you work?
Dear brethren, let's not deceive ourselves, physiology and anatomy ain't worth it. It will bring nothing but frustration to your lives and in the present state of the Nigerian economy, you will just die for nothing and the birds of the air will joyfully feed on your carcass.

Only if you want to truly deceive your lives, BMS is a huge joke. The labour market doesn't need you. What you ought to be doing are already being taken over by the doctors (MBBS holders). My advice for you is just to find your way out and branch out entirely. Only someone that doesn't want to see you succeed will tell you that there is hope in physiology or anatomy. These course are a total waste of time and its so ridiculous that those who failed to get admission into Medicine end up being dumped into physiology or anatomy where their fate is already sealed. If you want the best for your self in life, never study these things, its not worth the stress. Its a total waste of time and finance. I'm a living testimony, graduated with a good grade in physiology from one of the top universities in Nigeria but I just had to branch out entirely after lots of frustration. If you think BMS is your path to success, then sorry is your name.

Its just so sad because thousands and thousands of graduates in these field are being churned out every year hence, leaving them to their fate. Many of them will eventually want to come back for MBBS in which they will eventually not get. The only reasonable thing you can do with it is venturing into the academic realm. Going for your masters, PhD and then accepting your fate as a lecturer or get a MSc in pharmacology and be ready to receive peanuts as salary. Even getting a masters in Public health these days is something else because people are extremely much there. Asides those, the discrimination you would face in the labour market is mind blowing.
Another solution I think is rather than DE students (Physioligy and Anatomy specifically)starting all over from 200L, they should be given the opportunity to start from the clinical sciences since they practically did what the MBBS also did during the BMS stage.
All in all, BMS is a total waste of time and money. You will just waste 4 years of your life for nothing. Many usually end up regretting.

May God bless us all.

3 THINGS THAT WILL SHOCK YOU ABOUT THE NEW POLICY DIRECTION OF MEDICAL EDUCATION IN NIGERIA. October 22, 2015 / admin / 2 Comments The news was a pleasant one. It came as a surprise, more of a pleasant shock!!! The bearer of this piece of news came prepared, knowing him as an astute intellectual. He timing was perfect and precise; since he delivered his lecture at a time and place that everybody considers appropriate. Enough of this description, don’t you agree? Professor Joshua Ogbonnaya, Renowned surgeon and currently the Provost, College of Medicine and Surgery, Gregory University Uturu, was the bearer of the good news. It was at the medical induction ceremony of students in the College of Medicine And Surgery Madonna University, Elele Rivers State. The medical induction happened on the 20th, October 2015. Recall that Prof Ogbonnaya was at a time the Dean, Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, Madonna University. He announced that from March 2016, there would be major changes to the curriculum and activities with respect to the award of MBBS in all medical schools in Nigeria. He stressed that this was the latest development coming from the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN). Most Nigerian universities offering Medicine and surgery, as an undergraduate course, peg the course duration between 6 – 9 years. However this is to be made uniform. The 3 major changes expected to be in effect from next year are; 1. The era of moving directly from secondary school into medical school will be a thing of the past, because from next year, it becomes compulsory for students to first acquire a Bachelors degree from any Basic Medical course, Bsc Anatomy or Bsc Physiology, for 4 years. 2. After which you can proceed to a College of Medicine for a 3-year clinical exposure, before the award of the MBBS degree. This would add up to be 7 years of training, with the result that candidates graduates with two degrees added to their portfolio. 3. This privilege have also been extended to other para-medical/ health science courses, like Nursing Science, Optometry, Public Health, Medical Laboratory Science and others. Rather than staying 3 years as described in the 2nd point, these groups of persons will stay 4 years, for clinical exposure, before they would be awarded of the MBBS degree. Prof Joshua Ogbonnaya also stressed that this development is coming at this time considering that the Doctor-to-patient ratio, in Nigeria, is still a far cry from the standard, as prescribed by UNESCO. What is your take on this? Do you see any good in this new policy shift? Or would you rather we continued and maintained the status quo?

Prior to graduation, I had so many things on my mind, e.g doing ICAN, going for another undergraduate course in fields like economics etc. I had to start up a small business just to make ends meet. Physiology, anatomy and courses tagged under BMS is practically a waste of time and finance I must say because the labour market doesn't need you (yes I said so) because the jobs that are meant for BMS graduates are already being taken over by the so called ''doctors''. Little wonder you were denied studying chem path at Msc level. Come to think of it, if an MBBS holder should apply for chem path at Msc level, I bet my life they won't hesitate to admit such fellow.
Its so painful that people who fail to get admission to study medicine are being disposed off into physiology and anatomy and left to suffer for nothing and I keep wondering how many of this category of graduates do we need to keep producing every year. This is total brutality because we practically do what the MBBS holders do. The only difference between us is that at the end, we are given a ''useless'' Bsc degree while they get a very ''useful'' MBBS degree. A few things they do in clinical science too also makes up the little difference.
My advice to those coming behind is never accept any offer to study physiology or anatomy. You will waste four years of your delicate life thinking the future is bright for you but at the end, you would be full of regrets ( I don't pray for such for anyone). Secondly, don't be carried away by that statement people make these days ''this is Nigeria, you can work anywhere with any certificate''. My dear brothers and sisters don't be deceived, don't let anyone come and tell you that ''i know of someone that studied yoruba and is working in the bank''. Come to think of it, will you just carry your certificate in yoruba and your C.V and apply for a bank job? (in fact, the receptionist will just fling your documents away) This is near impossible and the only way it can be possible and work out is having a very good connection (which is what Nigeria is all about today) and the special grace of God.
Also, winners72 talked about taking JAMB again for a second degree. I must say that isn't a bad idea at all. Before graduation, I was so desperate to get out of physiology and do something better that I wrote JAMB in 100L, 200L and even 300L all of which didn't work out. And this year, just like winners72, I might be writing UTME again with kids i'm old enough to give birth to but such is life, you just have to move on and don't be down casted. The beauty about education is that it doesn't have limit. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo who was in his 70's and went back to school sometimes last year isn't a fool. He knew what he wanted to achieve but however if you feel you don't want to take this step again, there are lots and lots of things you can venture into. You can take ICAN and within 1 1/2 years, if you do very well, you would be certified. The business and entrepreneurship world is also there for you.
Bottom line is bone your age, shun your status and look for something good to do. I seriously don't like it when people like titi or winners72 come here to say they've been looking for jobs for 3-5 years. If the jobs don't come to you then go to the jobs.... Oh did I ever tell you I once applied as a driver for a company here in lagos grin well thats another story for another day.

I must confess dat I lyk dat sentence of urs "if work doesn't come for u, go for it".. but at dsame tym, u highlighted obasanjo returning to school. I don't tink returning to skul is a prob wen u have the finance and ur life is progressing. Obasanjo surely didn't return to skul for money. Yes, opportunist for graduate of physiology in their field is limited but I still bliv a graduate in any course will make it either by delving out of the field to oda field or by bringing revolution to it.Just lyk u said, businesses, entrepreneur and ICAN ain't left out. Going back 4 medicine is also an option for dose u want it.
