hmm, thank God i left med school over 10 years ago...bu then 10 years is too long, what of those that have resits or repeats in various classes, going at this rate most doctors won't go for NYSC ,most would have been well over 30 years by the time they graduate.
Our fathers and leaders are always taking 9ja backward. They are wicked. Did they study medicine for ten years that they want others to study it for ten years

[size=28pt]Which develop county are you talking about. The USA should remove that requirement because children in the USA dont need to do that, they already have the brain like most countries of the world to go straight to Medical school. It is a waste of time for children in the USA. The rest of the world go directly to medical school to spend 7 years. if you were a child, will you want to waste your time and go an study, a useless course first, borrowing money then go into medical school. After owning, No.. the USA system is not good, they need to change it.

The rest of the world go directly to medical school from high school. they dont waste their children times. just because someone want you to borrow money. why will anyone go and study an irrelevant course first. people send their children to europe living the USA because of this.

You've got a point there. But the student-loan industry will oppose such a move ferociously. Already, Americans over over $1 trillion in student loans (both from banks and the federal government). Any proposal that seeks to reduce the amount of time it takes to earn a degree would be krptonite to the loan processing companies and the government.

As it is in the medical field, so it is in the Legal field. Students in the US and Canada, who wish to study law, have to attend an undegrad school for 4/5 years before enrolling in a 3-4 year law program.

Later now, those nurses, lab scientists, cleaners, gatemen, etc, will be asking for same salary scale as doctors.. SmH!

Btw, is our educational system going forward or backward? How many years is spent in studying medicine outside Nigeria? SmH..

With all these forex palava? shocked shocked shocked
And you forgot that number of years spent in the university does not determine how much one earns? Oh! I forgot that this is naija where everything goes.

You mean 11 years even before doing residency which may be another 5+ years? This is poorly thought-out stand which will as a matter of fact will not be allowed to come into being by appropriate bodies of doctors.

Our educational system is so bane...so many unqualified sick brains, d facilities in med sch cud b improved and d syllabus fine tuned to tech based medicine,d world is spending money to save time, our mediocre strategists are spending time to save money...

This is absolutely unnecessary!

The problem with the Nigerian health sector is not about how long a doctor spends in the medical school but about greediness on the part of the doctors and generally lack of political will by the government to revamp our healthcare system.

9 years med school I.e 4 years basic med science and 5 years medicine is very sufficient to train a doctor of medicine.

However, to improve our healthcare system, other professionals should be allowed to thrive and grow in the health sector. The doctors should concern themselves with how to become experts in the various specialties of surgery and medicine and not want to become pharmacists, lab scientists and nurses at the same time.

Provision of medical care encompasses all medical professionals. That is how it is done in the developed countries where you all run to to get quality health care. Do same here in Nigeria instead of this unnecessary 11 years training for MBBS- MD not even inclusive!

I'm very sure this policy is proposed as it can never come to pass except if other bodies like mdcn, nma agrees. Infact i believe MDCN retain the legal rights for setting standards of medical training.I'm very sure this policy is proposed as it can never come to pass except if other bodies like mdcn, nma agrees.

Seeing people complaining in the US medical students spend up to 11 years in medical school, that's after leaving college/university oo.. Just 10 years you are shouting... If u can't do the time swerve go another course na.. It aint by force
Re: Medical Students To Spend 11 Years In Varsity − NUC by Lildoks(m): 1:21am On Mar 15, 2016
Even though you study medicine for USA or any top European country you won't still be as rich or relevant as those entertainers.. If you wanna study medicine it should be driven by passion not money... Before u start complaining go and check how long medical students spend in school in other countries

here in Asia, those who have bsc paramedic/biological science spend just 3 years, +1 year clerkship to become Dr,@ 11 years +, (+= unforeseen ASUU strike, which could be 0 to infinity) it's not all about the length of time, its all about the system, transparency, etc. spending 50 years in a Med school ,where your selection was not based on merit, but based on children of influential personalities, where you use the same antiquated equipment's as your lecturers during their undergrad days, (that is when PHCN epileptic power supply agrees), where parents generosity and public relations determines their wards passing grades, where every thing is done the other way round ...will not help matters. feel free to send me a PM if u wish to run away from Nigeria fr your studies. grin grin grin
