Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science, Or Physiotherapy? by poyebad: 6:38am On Jul 06, 2017
Hello Nairalanders,

I have troubles advising my little brother on which course to choose in the health field. The family know that he likes both medicine and pharmacy, but we have two uncles who since graduating as medical doctors are having great problems getting a job. I want Nairalanders who have knowledge of the health field and their current job opportunities in Nigeria to advise us.

Which course should he choose?

Thank you Nairalanders.

For pride -MBBS
For job opportunities- Nursing
For immediate Self employment -Pharmacy.
I have all three in my family

Physiotherapy, very important but undervalued in naija and less chance of easily get job abroad.
I don't have any in my family.

I don't know what is MLS.

I appreciate your submission nextprince. It's just spot on. As a bright student, my brother believes medicine suits him, and especially because medicine is prestigious. However, he is (we all are) being forced to reconsider that, with so many doctors being unable to get job in the country. I don't know what the situation is for pharmacy... I don't know many pharmacists, except that some said pharmacy as a course is a lot tougher than medicine. That challenge is what is now making him consider pharmacy as a good, if not better option. But I'm concerned if he will be able to make a good life as a pharmacist.
MLS is medical laboratory science; i think the guys that carry faeces and urine. But if provides better living for him, why not?

Watch a secret CNN Documentary that was never releases for Nigerians view because it contains lots of bitter truths on the Nigerian civil crisis against the Igbo people in 1968.
See how the problem of dividing Nigeria started and how Major General Effiong surrendered to the Nigerian government.

No course of study guarantee immediate employment. You must start from somewhere and DONT under rate any course. My Cousin studied Igbo linguistic and he presently works with CBN.

Let him do whatever he wants because if you choose for him and he's not contended with it, he's going to have problem in school

If he ensures to be really good at whatever he does, he'll make a good living from it. He should study whatever course interests him most... The fact that there are unemployed doctors doesn't make him a potential one. There is no hospital that will refuse the free services of a doctor, with that he would get the required experience and if he's good, the hospital will do everything to retain him. That's if he finds it difficult getting a job on graduation. Most times we want things handed over to us on a platter... that rarely happens in real life.
But trust me, if he's determined and as brilliant as u say, he'll do just fine irrespective of what he studies.
