Stephaustin:
I don't have much information on Physiotherapy. I guess other distinguished colleagues here can help you with the information you need.

Nevertheless, if none of us has the information you need, then I think you'll need to search for students of Physiotherapy on different platforms.

Suggested Methods:
1) if you're on LinkedIn, type in Physiotherapy in the search bar and filter the result to people and Nigeria, then go through the filtered result to gather profiles that may possibly have the information you need. You can then contact these people for the needed information on Physiotherapy. You can also narrow down the search/filter the result to respective schools. Also do same with "medical rehabilitation".

If you're not on LinkedIn,

2) Create a topic/post, in the Education board of Nairaland, that may attract the people that have the information you need.

3) Google for schools in Nigeria that offer Physiotherapy. Then you can come back to Nairaland to look up for topics/threads created for those schools. Asking your questions in those threads may get you the information you need.

The summary of the whole thing is to do everything you can to source the information you need to make better choices that can boost your chances of being admitted this year.

Don't forget: admission in government-owned universities into medical/health-related courses today in Nigeria is the survival of the fittest.

Goodluck.

Thank you sir. I really appreciate

I need more enlightment on the course physiotherapy. I got 249 in my jamb and I choosed unilag as my aspiring school but I'm scared if I'll be considered to study physiotherapy. I need advice on what I can do just not to forfeit this year admission because this is my 5th times writing jamb. Which is the best school to study physiotherapy?
What are the prospects of physiotherapy in Nigeria.
Thank you.

Stephaustin:
Wow!
This is really a great score.
I really hope you don't waste this score out of preference for one school, only to regret your action tomorrow. Many persons I know are victims of this and still regret the effect(s) till date. I hope you don't be a victim.

I guess you know that admission into medicine these days is becoming as tough as you cannot imagine. As the number of applicants keep increasing with geometric progression every year, the number of medical schools in Nigeria remains constant and the quota for the available ones remains constant with no remarkable increase (if there's any at all).

As far as I know, undergraduate medical education is of very negligible (that's if there's any at all) or no difference at all in Nigerian medical schools. You can make your own enquiries/study and draw your conclusion(s) from there.

To me, the basic things I consider while selecting/suggesting a medical school include a school that:
1) has full accreditation by MDCN;
2) is able to retain the accreditation over time (not losing accreditation over a long period of time is my index for measuring this. It is not a perfect index though; so you can choose yours);
3) does not delay her students unnecessarily (imagine spending 8+ years studying the medicine your classmates in other schools spend 6+ years (with maximum of 7) to study;
4) has produced doctors who have proven their worth in the society.

Every other thing is secondary.

If you confirm you have better or even best chances in Unical than any other school, I think it's better you leave it there.

When you become a doctor, you can choose to go to Harvard Medical School and the like, if you have the money and make it into such schools, for your postgraduate studies.

Physiotherapy has many prospects in Nigeria. Lots of it. In clinic, radiology labs, sport teams etc. I heard the general cut off mark for jamb this year is 160 due to the corona virus. So you shd check as many University website as possible for the cut off for physiotherapy not Federal and states..

Do you have any idea of the best school to study physiotherapy in Nigeria

Oluromantic:
Nope. Pharmacy and pharmacology is like medicine and physiology. The dichotomy in Nigeria is too much. Let d person kunkun wait and take jamb again for pharmacy instead or go for biochemistry or microbiology.

I did physiology with d intension to cross to medicine in 200lvl. I couldn't due to lack of connection. Later I heard ppl who had poor result than mine got medicine thru very long leg. Such is life. I diverted to exercise physiology in my masters, now on my PhD.

Good luck
