hello, I didn't know where to start my own message so I had to use reply. thank you.
I'm a student of medical laboratory science, I just finished 400level and I'm about to enter final year but I'm confused on what major to choose. I like both hematology and medical microbiology and I'm really good at both to. I really don't know which one to choose that will not limit my opportunities and career options and also I also need to choose one that I can easily further abroad.

Also, what if I want to study medicine abroad after school? can my MLS degree get me a direct entry? will my choice of major affect this direct entry?

I'll really appreciate anyone's advice and opinion.
thank you very much.

Good day to you all. Please is it possible for a direct entry student in MLS, who had done some courses similar to the ones offered in 200L to be considered for a wavier in such courses? while i'm asking is because I had done Renal Physiology,GIT Physiology and Endocrinology and Reproduction in the past which i performed very well, Now the same courses are reflecting in my 200L courses with same syllabus. Please I earnestly await your responses. Thanks.

nelszx:

Nah it can't be waived, you're been considered as a 200l student and you'd be treated as one (you'd take all the courses a 200l student would take + exam). But your course advisor will/should tell you more.

Was in ur shoes some weeks ago..mine was Btw heam and Chem pth....
I finally choosed haem.

I have a feeling the person asking this question is from Uniben here. Anyway the elders will come and contribute with their wealth of experience but from my own little knowledge. You can get to the peak of your career no matter the specialty, MMB is more common per say than haema, you have those in pure microbiology, SLT microbiology option etc but Haema is reserved for medicine/medlab. And Yes I think a first degree in health science course can get you direct to med school instead of going through pre med in US if you feel that is the career path you want.

If I might ask why hematology??

Here is a General breakdown

First year:Basic Sciences i.e.Bio,Chem,Phy and Maths,General studies and others.

2nd year: Anatomy, Physiology,Biochemistry and introductory MedLab Courses.These courses are not easy.You just have to keep reading and By the Grace of God you will scale through.

3rd year:You will go into the Department proper and Clinical Posting Starts in the Teaching Hospital.you will be posted to the different branches in MLS(Haematology, Histopathology,Med.Microbiology,Chem.Pathology and Immunology)

4th year:you will Sit for your First professional exam and Must attain a culmulative of 50%.The exam consist of MCQs, Practicals in the Different branches of MLS,and also ViVa(Oral Exam).
If a Student doesn't attain 50%,he/she will repeat the Year.

Davbravo and co will enlighten you more on how UNILAG run theirs.

Greatest Scientists

i want to ask, are science lab technicians,microbiologists and other related personnels who are not Medical Laboratory Scientist be able to open a laboratory? I mean laboratory for conducting tests such as malaria, typhoid, blood test, widal, etc or is it restricted to just mls graduates?

Thank you!

latonyn:
Please house, I'm a graduate of biochemistry and did my IT at chemical pathology lab, UCH. I want to apply to work in a chemical pathology lab of a private hospital, do I have a chance to be employed?
