People that put in for dentistry only want to get near to medicine and change later.They go through dentistry as a short cut so whats ur point....Many people who wanted medicine were given optometry....who is denying that....I told u before-but u probably have amnedia-that optometry starts from 400 level....so a 300 level student of optometry is not yet technically an optometry student...he doesnt even know majority of the lecturers...they are still at the level of pathology and pharmacology ...they dont even know what optometry entails...the dept is structured like that...so it is understandable that if the motivation is not there they leave...200 level is heavily optics oriented....not everyone has the aptitude for that....so it is understandable...but from 400 level they start clinicals and posting and then discover that optometry is not what they thought...they go on posting and see that its incomparable with dentistry in financial remuneration...the only exception are those that have elder siblings in the clinical classes....

This whole issue stems from your ignorance and bad comprehension.
Medical School does not follow School Calendar, so other students on holiday does not affect our program.
So during The solo practice and the other one, the session is still on? Do they receive classes? My brother always went by past 9 and came back before 4pm!


I used to think scientists were capable of logical analysis...u seem to be an exception
When you are stuck u start distracting from the points by making irrelevant analogies...
Are u sure u r even a dental student or are u just daft?
So clinical training in a hospital with instructions,reports ,vivres and sometimes written tests is not a continuation of the academic session...What is classes?What is the difference between a didactic and a clinical training?
Of course for an optometry student,the session is still on.Its even tougher.Go and find out how ophthalmology residency is run.Stop asking me childish questions.
Govt hospitals close by 4pm,privates close by 5 or 6.If your brother comes home before 4p.m,ask him the beer palour he went to...



Is it a holiday? Yes or No? besides who spends only 2 weeks at home?

You must be drunk...has any first semester break been more than 2 weeks...
Y should we not go on break...u spend 1 yr doing anatomy and physiology and biochem....we spend 6 months covering the same thing with the exception of some parts of anatomy....plus optics,psychology,ocular anatomy, biostatistics,computers and calculus(for 200 level)...and u begrudge them 2 weeks..which most optometry students even spend in school trying to cover ....Optometry gives lectures and materials even a day before exam...Everyobe in uniben knows that optometry starts exams first and finish last...sometimes exams take more than a week out of the 2 weeks holidays...
Go to health care centre tomorrow,pick up their register and check the department with the highest number of breakdowns....its optometry....



Really? Are they treating Lizards and rats? because students forms the bulk of the patients, and they are on holiday

Maybe your brother is one of those that arrange student patients because he is afraid of seeing a walk-in patient.Of course u wouldnt know that even the Vice Chancellor of uniben visits the clinic....no to talk of staff and their dependents and geriatric and paediatric cases from outside and referrals from the health centre for staff....ask ur brother how many times he has run away from paediatric cases....
And then u dont know that there is a second uniben optometry clinic at ekehuan withe 90% patronage from outside...but how would you know?

And in case you dont know,the dept which gives uniben the highest revenue is optometry...5-7 million naira every quarter....no other dept can try that...the next is Agric and engineering....forget abt dentistry wen we are talking lucrativeness....

One last joinder:If u hv the time lets physically survey and compare dental and optometry clinics in Benin as a case study...all expenses is on me...i hv amazed people before with the result we got....its your turn...
