Good day Medics, I would like to know the duration of a residency program in Community Health/Medicine in any teaching hospital in Nigeria. Also, I am usually confused about the difference between a specialist and a consultant, does one become a consultant on completion of a residency programme. Thank you.
Re: Medical Doctors' Forum: Let Us Know You! by olahandsome(m): 10:49pm On May 31, 2016
Good day docs. Currently a med student. I am thinking of specializing in cardiothoracic surgery or cardiology. Which one is more relevant these days and more lucrative. Please answers needed.

wow ......this thread still dey alive shocked grin grin grin cant remember when last i was here.
a lot of water has passed under these past 7years since i started this thread. the salary has improved since then but unfortunately, inflation and the general bad economy have wiped off any gains.

SRs now go home with 500+ but TODAY,that is equivalent to the 350+ in 2009. (refer to my earlier posts)

i didnt get to travel out. i got married and decided to do residency in the country partly because moving with my family was a task i was not willing to undertake( a decision i partly regret not taking).

i am currently in a radiology residency in southern nigeria and hopefully going for part 2 next year.i still think about travelling out BUT my pathway in 2016 would be different from my chosen pathway 7 years ago.
i will most likely be going for the FRCR(royal college of radiologists)postgraduate exams. this is the least path of resisitance for me AT MY CURRENT LEVEL.
the FRCR is in 3 steps and can be completed quite rapidly for a doctor who knows what hes doing.passing steps1 and 2 make you an SR(radiology) in the UK.

so my advice for residents IN NIGERIA who still want to leave,survey the option of writing foreign postgraduate professional exams in your current area of specialization. that may be easier. i hear pathology faculty(national postgrad college)has some arrangements with royal college of pathologists were an SR in pathology in nigeria is exempted from writing step 1 of the royal college of paths exam. Im not sure though.

For the medical students/fresh graduates, my advice is to decide what you want to do ON TIME. never be caught in one place. Always be on the move. you must have a strategy.
make up your mind fast. do you want to leave the country or do you want to stay back. while youre looking to write these foreign exams you must have a job that feeds you and can help you prepare for these exams. ALWAYS REMEMBER..... every decision has its pros and cons....moving to the UK or US does not mean all your problems in life are over. carefully weigh every decision(with prayer o!!).
I know our country is F.ucked(pardon the expression....couldnt find something MORE APT) BUT IT IS NOT ALL GLOOM AND DOOM..
i make up to 60% of my salary moonlighting in my current city of residence. i have friends who are SRs in anaesthesiology and are fully booked every weekend in town for surgeries netting about 35grand per surgery.these boys do not do less than 10surgeries in a month. Im not sure a doctor would have this kind of freedom in the US or UK(correct me if im wrong though).My guys(SRs) in O&G net about 50-100grand per month on performing C/Ss for GPs in town. my point?? our country is a useless place but that uselessness has created opportunities for youths to move in and provide solutions to problems.

i dont know what the carribean pathway is like these days. when i left school a decade ago, UNN.ABU.UI.IFE AND BENIN graduates were sought after in T&T. graduates of thses schools didnt have to write licensing exams in addition to to the tax free salaries they were to earn.(of course while attempting to nail either PLAB or USMLE).

so just survey all your options very well. cheers! wink wink

Sorry to quote the whole post.

I really would like to have a private chat with you as soon as possible on some points you raised especially on Radiology.

I am sending PM to you right away.

South Africa doesn't employ doctors from other African countries based on a somewhat signed treaty. However, most people I know who got jobs there had to become citizens first. You definitely know how they get it. If you get it, you can apply for registration, after which you can get locum jobs. There's the hpcsa exam which you need to pass. I must tell you that getting a residency outside of family medicine is a Herculean task. Pay is good. South African pathway generally depends on your nationality. The pathway for western doctors is different. So check the hpcsa website for more details.

I'm not from UNIBEN but ECFMG's process for verifying credentials can take as long as four months. Once your school has submitted your transcript and other stuff, you can relax.

Redcapchief. Thanks for your response. Mine has taken almost 6 months and that's a lot of concern for me. I'm beginning to think Uniben might be the cause of the delay. Reason why I mentioned Uniben Dr...to see if they can shed more light on the process based on their experience.
