Well, if it had been the University of Ibadan, I'd have known what to tell you...why do you want to cross anyways?
What are the steps one must take to cross frm BDS to MBBS in UI?

You can't cross from a professional course to another professional course in UI college of medicine. That is true fact.

As AnEsThAsiA has rightly stated, one simply cannot cross in between two professional courses. If you get in for Medicine, you'd stick to it till the very end. This same thing applies to Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy(although in a different Faculty) and Physiotherapy.

Now, again, you can cross from Physiology, especially, to Medicine...closest dude to Medicine. Physiology can also cross to Physiotherapy, Nursing and Medical Laboratory Science. Biochemistry has an upper hand at crossing to Pharmacy due to a similarity in the courses offered in 100L(although they cross to Medicine too). They, in most instances have to get their HOD to let them go, the man doesn't always feel obliged to let them go.

For Physiology to cross to Medicine or Dentistry, they don't have to add any other courses to what they'd be registering for the session. As the only courses which differ in what Medicine and Physiology guys do in 100L is Botany.

If one is looking to cross from Physiology to Physiotherapy(most stressful course in the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan), then they'd have to add courses like Statistics and Sociology when registering.

If one is looking to cross from Physiology to Pharmacy, then they'd have to add Mathematics to the courses they'd be registering for the session.

If one is looking to cross from Physiology to Medical Laboratory Science, then one has to add Mathematics as well.

If one is looking to cross from Physiology to Nursing, then one has to add Sociology to the courses they'd be registering for the session.

*All interdepartmental crosses have to be done on transit to 200L, beyond which the only things that may apply are deferrment(not beyond a session), withdrawal and voluntary withdrawal inter alia.

*Crossing from medical Laboratory Science to Physiology and vice versa is very possible.

*University of Ibadan doesn't give a Bachelor's degree in Human Anatomy, hence its absence in the above discourse. (Postgraduate Studies are however available)

*University of Ibadan doesn't give a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacology, hence its absence in the above discourse. (Postgraduate studies are however available)

*Crossing depends largely on general performance and a post determined crossing CGPA.

I feel you are wasting your time too hence you fail to make some findings before coming up with such argument. Take for instance university of medical science in on do state is fully accredited last year but it is not even on the list of partially accredited universities just like some private universities like Bingham university, Bowen university and Afe babarola all having full accreditation. You may be right in your thinking that hence they are not on the list of accredited universities on MDCN website but MDCN are to blame for not updating their website.
OK, I get your drift.

Thank you. Now, I'm not arguing about the risks of schools not fully accredited. Just trying to make a point. Summarily, I have two points, actually:
1. Quoting you: "Don't just throw words around, you can't take them back."
2. That particular page(which seems your forte) has been like that for as long as I can remember. I think the first time I saw it was early 2017. Surely, something, at least, should have changed since then.
My opinion though.
Like I said...your choice,your responsibility.
And thanks for the 1st point.

Choose EBSU. Also, take UTME in case DE fails.

Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Protein0: 3:36pm On Mar 24, 2019
On medical schools, any accredited medical school is ok.
Med is all about personal development. You can't be a good doc with just what you were given in training and to the best of my knowledge, no accredited med school has bad lecturers/instructors. They will give you the basic stuffs needed to improve upon.
On accredited med schools, it's beyond MDCN website. First hand info on such status are gotten from individual schools. To simplify it, any school admitting, promoting and graduating students seemlessly is accredited.
Lastly, practising license bears no institution names. Once you're licensed, you are certified to legally do what a doctor is allowed to do within the ambit of the law kiss

As for University of Ibadan, I haven't seen any school in the whole of this country that is as transparent as her...I tell you this in all sincerity. If you got what it takes, face UI. If you merit it, University of Ibadan would admit you without any issues.

University of Ilorin, if you are a Muslim and from Ilorin... Please go ahead.

Ebonyi state University, I know nothing about the school or her processes

OOU, do you have huge amount of cash to spend, studying Medicine at Ago Iwoye doesn’t come easy without enough financial backup

LASU, if you're not a lagosian and do not have a long leg, please, stay away. I know someone who had 324 in the UTME last year, chose LASU, if only LASU would offer him admission tomorrow.

Your question seems somehow,

Anyways in Medical school sometimes you'd have to draw. Your drawing doesn't have to be as beautiful as the one in the textbook, it should come close at least. The diagram, say for example: femoral triangle in Anatomy should show the boundaries, roof, floor and contents, you have your marks already.

You don't only get to draw the human body, you'd also draw charts, graphs(eg O2-Hb dissociation curve in Physiology), schemes and pathways(you have loads of them in Biochemistry)...you don't have to be Pablo Picasso to draw in Medical school.

Whatever you draw, ensure it has a semblance to the original thing.

Ps: If you get to draw the Pancreas ensure you draw a Pancreas and not a Pistol. grin

Yours!

I think UI and UNILORIN will be a good to try. I can say of them because I know of friends who did their DE to the schools after they have finished their first degree.
I wrote an article on it where I shared the success story of a friend who is now a medical doctor. He had 2.1 B.Sc. in Human Nutrition and did DE to UI to study medicine and surgery.
Medical related courses to study Medicine

University of Ibadan does not take DE in Microbiology. They even prefer guys with A Levels than those with first degrees, whatever the rationale behind that is, I do not know.

My advice be very tactful in how you go about actualizing the Medicine-dream, you don't want to be doing tombo-tombo.

Why don't you look up north? Unimaid, ABU, Unijos, Uniabuja, BUK, UDUSOK??

Udusok does not take DE for MBBS.

I know that UI loves A-level guys, as some of the students I thought at EAC are now studying medicine in UI. However, a graduate from a recognised university who study medical related course approved by UI with a good grade may be offered admission t study MBBS.
As I said above, I have friends who did DE to UI after graduation and were offered admission to study medicine.
