Bush2013:
please somebody should highlight what the unibadan new curriculum is all about and its implications.

it's not a new curriculum, it's the way it's being structured.
The last curriculum was revised six years ago I think so but I am not sure.

The way mb examinations is structured, the no of mb examination and the interval between each mb examination in UI is a bit different from what you have in most medical schools in Nigeria.

Profcamsey:
Are you saying it only affects 400 levstudents in clinicals?

path and pharm runs till 500 level before the third mb examination in the University of ibadan.

Profcamsey:
Hello house, its been a long time. Pls does ASUU strike affect clinical students?

it does not affect but in the real sense it does because you will be offering pathology and pharmacology in clinical years.
Path&pharm are basic medical courses being offered in clinical years.

[quote author=Vcojuro post=42970342][/quote]

Are you comparing oau college of health Sciences that increased its tuition fee to 83000 for stallites to ui college of Medicine.
Ui has been producing medical graduates as far back as 1950s.
During the colloquium of college of health Sciences OAU the provost was asked why the increments in school fees from 33000 to 83000 his reply was that they needed it for accreditation purpose, that MDCN and mrb which is regulatory body for medicine and physiotherapy are threatening to seize their accreditation because they lack some facilities and equipments.
Imagine a college of health Sciences having accreditation issue.
I don't need to start explaining about uch Ibadan.
The first neurosurgery and neurology department in Nigeria was established as far back as 1962.
Even an illiterate in Nigeria knows about uch Ibadan.
I strongly believe that a standard teaching hospital is the basis and foundation of modern medical education since medicine is more of practical and clinical course than cramming or reading.

IS MEDICINE A CHOICE OR A CALLING.
Over the last couple months, I have often been asked
what I plan to do as a recent college graduate. My
response has been that I will be attending medical school
in Chicago.
“Oh! Medical school!” many exclaim as their eyes light up,
“So you’re going to be a rich doctor.”
This response as well as most others I have received
seemed to imply that medicine is an ideal profession if
one is gifted enough to pursue it. Medicine has had the
luxury of being one of the great professions within
societies throughout history, along with practitioners in
areas such as law and religion. Though some may argue
that modernism has significantly transformed these
historic societal roles, there is still a great deal of respect
and prestige commanded by these positions. Perhaps my
view is a bit romanticized, but I think there is value in
viewing our future physicians as being called to the
medical field to share their talents and abilities rather than
being gifted enough to pursue professional prestige and a
high salary.
This distinction seems particularly important for
professions which deal in the treatment of people. To heal
a person, whether it be his body or soul, requires both
additional humility and more carefully defined goals. The
former is well reflected in the old adage, “With great
power comes great responsibility.” Work which affects the
lives of other human beings carries with it additional
moral and ethical weight.
The second requirement is a result of the former. If a car
is broken, for example, it is usually easy to identify one’s
options and the implications of such decisions. This is not
the case for a human being with a diverse array of needs
from physiological to psycho-social. Thus these
professions require careful deliberations to determine
appropriate goals and limits, and without those goals and
limits, there is a greater risk for a lack of congruency,
leading to disagreements about the correct place of such
professions in a given society.
Approaching a field such as medicine as a simple choice
may undermine the humility it requires and further
complicate our attempts to define its goals and limits.
Studies continue to suggest that a substantial percent of
physicians are dissatisfied with their profession due to
pay and a growing gap between professional and personal
expectations. I think physicians and their patients may be
expecting infallible medical professionals who operate
independently and achieve financial benefits, whereas
modern medical practice continues to demand
collaboration and greater humility.
If I felt that I chose medicine to achieve some personal
gain, I would be more likely to expect personal benefits
which outweigh my sacrifices. Approaching the medical
field as a calling shifts one’s focus to the positive impact
one can make in his/her community, which may add both
to the satisfaction of medical practitioners as well as their
patients.
Before the remarkable technological growth of the last
century, the medical field was limited in its power. Today
nearly every known condition has a course of treatment,
many with high rates of success. This newly obtained
power has sparked a number of debates over the last few
decades about the proper limits and goals of medicine. It
is curious to me that conversations surrounding
healthcare reform seem primarily concerned with money.
It seems that for many economic concerns define the
proper place of medicine and we must simply balance
affordability and access with innovation.
This cannot be right. Surely we would like to believe that
our physicians sincerely care about our well-being and
are not simply trying to maximize their profits by
balancing our demand for ‘caring’ with their supply. For
this and many other reasons, medicine is unique and
economics alone will not provide us with the insight we
desire. Rather than struggling to answer each ethical
dilemma facing modern medicine individually when they
arise, I think significant insight can be gained by
attempting to trace these dilemmas back to their source
and then posing more global questions.
To do so, let us compare the field of medicine to religious
institutions. When a young man decides to become a
priest, for example, we expect that he felt called to such a
life. Yes, he likely could have pursued different
professions, but he felt a pull, perhaps even a duty, to
become a priest. When his parishioners seek his counsel,
we would expect him to be humble to the power of his
position and to provide guidance which would best serve
the souls of those individuals, according to their common
beliefs. The limits and goals of his profession are clearly
defined by the doctrines of his religious institution.
Although he serves his parishioners, he is not expected to
tell these individuals what they want to hear so much as
what they need to hear according to the teachings of their
church. Medicine shares similar requirements for humility
and clearly defined goals, yet we tend to approach this
field quite differently.
Perhaps there is something to be gained by asking
ourselves to what set of rules and principles should our
future physicians answer? I would suggest that
physicians should be servants of health and that health be
the goal and limit of medicine. Of course defining health in
a given society is no easy task; but if such a definition
was achieved and universally accepted, I believe patients’
and physicians’ expectations may converge through this
understanding, facilitating better patient-physician
relationships and overall healthcare.
Much like the priest and his parishioners, patients may
instead trust their physicians as servants of their health
rather than prestigious professionals hoping to make a lot
of money or powerful crusaders against death.

I end this with a quote which says thus "for many are called but few are chosen".

Over 40 years in business, at Virgin we’ve have learned that the road to success is paved with challenges. As we launch into a new year – a time when most entrepreneurs start thinking about all they’d like to see come from the year ahead – I’d like to shine a light on how embracing failure is crucial for driving a business forward. And in doing so, I answer Rob Thijs’s #ChallengeRichard to relive three of my toughest start-up days.


When Virgin expanded from the music industry into the airline industry, we did so with a dream to disrupt the market and offer travellers a better product and service than what was currently on offer. Back then the industry was a very dull, dry, corporate world, where you were more likely to get service with cold chicken than service with a smile.

Wanting to provide a fun and exciting new alternative, and bring a sense of celebration to the air, we launched Virgin Atlantic with great determination and passion. But despite our enthusiasm and desire to make a real difference, we realised very quickly that we were total novices, facing very large and established competitors.

Threatened by our underdog ways and desire to shake up the industry, one major airline (OK, British Airways!) went after us with a no-bars-held approach – poaching our customers, spreading false rumours about our business, and undercutting fares to value with which we simply could not compete. We faced so many dark days that it would have been easier to quit than to go on. We didn’t quit – instead we held our head high, took on new and innovative approaches to marketing and doing business, and learned to never, ever, underestimate the competition.
While we managed to not let our competitors get the better of us in the airline industry, the same cannot be said about our attempts to crack the soft drink market. Declaring a soft drink war with Virgin Cola was madness. We felt confident that we could smash our way past Coca-Cola and Pepsi, our main competitors. However, it turned out that we hadn’t thought things through.

We weren’t quite prepared for the size or the ferocity of their response, which included a steep increase in their marketing budgets and pressure on distributors not to work with us. Had we known how they would react, we may well have taken a different approach. But the main reason Virgin Cola failed was we didn’t follow our own rules: at Virgin, we only enter industries when we think we can offer consumers something strikingly different, but there wasn’t really an opportunity to do that in the soft drinks sector. People were already getting a product that they liked, at a price they were happy to pay – Virgin Cola just wasn’t different enough.

Virgin Atlantic was able to persevere and flourish, despite immense competition, because the airline filled a gap in the market by providing customers with something of great use that made a real difference to their lives. Virgin Cola did not.
In 2000 we felt that the automotive industry was ripe for disruption, and looked to shake things up with Virgin Cars. We identified a gap in the retail market and set about revolutionising the way that cars were being sold. However it turned out to be the wrong angle, and Virgin Cars ended up shutting down just five years later.

We neglected to realise that the biggest potential for disruption in the automotive industry had nothing to do with the process of selling cars, but rather with how cars were powered. Back then, we did not see that the future would be about sustainability – and that the best opportunities would be found in the development of electric cars and clean fuels. Luckily, all was not lost from our venture. The experience with Virgin Cars taught us something that we have incorporated into our overarching vision ever since: In the modern world, there can be no profit without a well-defined purpose.
As you can see, the story of Virgin has been pockmarked with challenges – but instead of looking at them as dead-ends we have embraced them, learned from them, and turned them into opportunities.

Millex:

So not maths, or general knowledge or the sorts? So the jamb score whether 200 or 280 doesn't count for much?

The questions are not maths questions nor general knowledge questions.
They simple use of English, chemistry, biology and physics.
even if you like score 380 or 320 your chances is the same with those who scored 200 and 210.
The basic requirement is for you to score 200 in the utme.
It is only your post utme score will determine whether you secure mbbs or not.

Millex:

Bro thanks for the advice already started the preparation, the putme for UI what is the exam structure? The same utme subjects? Thanks you for your reply

The post utme subjects is same with jamb subjects.
The cutoff mark is gotten from your post jamb scores only.

Solonzo nice comment.
If u really want to get into mbbs pick ui.
Merit quota is more than 92 percent.
Transparent to the core 137 were picked on merit out of a total no of 147.
That's an advice.

For those who insist on D. E I would advice you to also summon the courage to pick jamb, since you have nothing to lose.
It is still all about studying medicine.
The funniest thing is that nobody cares if you came through utme or direct entry.
What they will ask is "are you studying medicine"
Remember the saying "that the end justify the means"

Medicine is not a career but a calling for many are called but few are chosen

Scholarship is awarded to the top five scorers in the University of Ibadan post utme.
And it started two years ago.
The scholarship covers your school fees, accommodation,and the likes till graduation.
Remember the cutoff mark is gotten from post utme only.
It is not an aggregate of post utme and utme.
For the 2015/2016 session the five top scorers, three males and two females, who are Adetunji AbdulRaham (86 per cent for law), Amaji Obinna Charles (86 per cent for medicine and surgery), Adebiyi Tijesunimi, (85 per cent for electrical and electronics engineering), Oke Dorcas Odunayo (83 per cent in medicine and surgery), Olowosulu Cassandra Olawumi (83 per cent for medicine and surgery) have been awarded automatic scholarship by the institution

The University of Ibadan school fee structure medicine and surgery /dentistry 100 level.
Acceptance fees:20000
Bank Commission on acceptance fees:200
School fees:22800
Accommodation:14000
Note: accommodation is not compulsory

It has long been established that a subordinate has no legal obligation to obey illegal orders from his/her superior. This point is important as we examine the recent nauseating revelations about the huge sums of money that the former finance minister, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Central Bank governor, Godwin Emefiele, made available to the now arrested former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

Few days ago, Okonjo-Iweala admitted giving Sambo Dasuki the sum of $322m on the orders of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Before that the same Okonjo-Iweala admitted spending $2bn

from the Excess Crude Oil account on the orders of the former President. The Central Bank of Nigeria under Godwin Emefiele has admitted giving Sambo Dasuki billions of Naira and dollars on the orders of the former president. A good part of these monies were given to Sambo Dasuki in cash in clear contravention of existing anti-money laundering laws by the country’s chief banker. Let us put the money laundering issue to the side for now.

The problem with the orders from the former President to the then finance minister and current CBN governor is that they were illegal. Neither the President nor any other government official in Nigeria has the legal authority to order the spending of funds that have not been appropriated by the National Assembly! Both subordinates knew or ought to know that the orders they were obeying were illegal and should have refused to comply. Resignation was an option. Between these two subordinates they cost the nation in excess of $5B by obeying the referenced illegal orders. That is just what we know so far and this kind of behavior is going on at every level of government everyday.

The arrest and prosecution of Okonjo-Iweala and Godwin Emediefe will send out the message that “the president ordered the payment” is not a defense known to the laws of Nigeria. Their prosecution is imperative in light of the fact that a lot of the money being stolen in the country is not in the custody of the people stealing them. They rely on a group of people that I call facilitators in an upcoming article to get access to public funds in the custody of the facilittors.


In almost every case of monies made available to Sambo Dasuki, all those making the money available were following illegal orders and they knew it. The time has come for Buhari to beam the searchlight on this group of people. The commercial bankers who allow government officials to come into their banks and withdraw millions and billions in cash in apparent violation of anti-money laundering laws are facilitators of corruption because they know the funds are dirty hence the need to terminate the paper trail through cash withdrawal. The bankers ought to be in jail too partly because they make tracing these funds more complicated.

To understand the importance of subordinates not obeying illegal orders, imagine that Okonjo-Iweala, NNPC and Godwin Emefiele refused to obey the former President’s illegal orders and resigned under pressure and spilled the beans. With Nigerians fully aware of the attempted fraud it would have been difficult for their replacements to obey the same illegal orders. Buhari’s anti-corruption war must involve establishing a culture that encourages civil servants, and bank employees to disobey illegal orders. This will prevent our money from leaving the treasury rather than chasing after the money after it has been stolen.

Before closing I will like to remind people that a majority of the civilians and military officers who were tried, executed or jailed by the post-World War 2 Nuremberg Trials courts in Germany were obeying orders from Adolf Hitler. The problem was that Adolf Hitler had no legal basis for issuing the orders and those who ended up being executed for obeying the orders had no obligation to obey the orders.


Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Godwin Emefiele should be familiar with the Nuremberg Trials. The lesson is that a superior cannot order a subordinate to do anything that the superior has no authority to do himself/herself. Nigerians must rid themselves of the idea that a President has the power to order anyone to do anything in the absence of enabling legislation. Na oga say make I do am is not a defense.

King Solomon, in one of his documented sayings of wisdom, says: “The glory of the youth is their strength and the beauty of the old men is their grey head” – Proverbs 20:29. When I take a survey at N-I-G-E-R-I-A, I ask myself questions about the meaning of the saying. How well are the youth channelling their strength to good use thereby shining forth in their glory? Do the older and more experienced outsmart the youth in the regular daily contest for survival? These are questions to be addressed going forward.
Education has been said to be the liberation of the mind.

Perhaps, this is why most of our youth have seen it a necessity to go a step further after their secondary education to seek tertiary education. The widely accepted route for this aspiration is of course writing UTME, Universal Tertiary Matriculation Exam. We have seen instances where candidates’ application to some of our institutions are generally meddled with. On one hand, the failure of the candidate to secure admission is sometimes of their own.

They insincerely select their courses of study because they are influenced by society’s perception of certain courses as potentially unlucrative. Sometimes, this influence is from the pressure from parents. On the other hand, the selection criteria of our institutions are even beyond merit consideration. I was aggrieved upon discovering that the admission list of one of the nation’s most priced institutions, after the summer post-UTME exams, was tampered with. A combination of some of the successful candidates’ surnames with their UTME registration number revealed their results and some did not even scale the set cut-off marks published on the school’s website for their chosen course yet, they were on the merit list. In this same institution was a massive omission of names that were supposed to have been included on the merit list. What hypocrisy!

Apart from a dearth of facilities in our institutions, there is also a deliberate sieving of intellectual candidates in the corrupted admission process of most of our universities. For most people, the notion is you must have an internal contact that will push your admission for you else, your admission process is weak. This accounts for why selection based on merit is an act attended more by lip-service than practiced in reality.

Until our selection process is strictly based on merit and not interrupted by bribery and favoritism, we will never be properly represented on the international scale. We cannot continue to produce whacks yearly and expect our institutions to have high fliers in their alumni. Another way to allow the glory of the youth, which is their strength to shine forth, is by encouraging the sincerity of career selection, that is, the absence of criticism
of some career as not lucrative or prestigious. There is already an existing competition for enrolment for certain courses based on society’s perception of them as the ultimate source of rescue in the nation’s economic turmoil.

What we should target is a depopulation of these ‘lucrative’ career paths so that the opportunities that abound in the unpopulated sectors can be tapped into for economic growth. Hence, the gifting and passion of young people seeking further education into tertiary institutions should guide them in course selection. By so doing,the tendency to fail the entrance exams into these institutions will be reduced if not eliminated. Another long- term investment to be made into our education nationwide is the provision of teachers and infrastructure for special courses such as art and design. Candidates with the innate talent for this field are either trained inadequately or bullied into taking on other courses for study-since a and design is traditionally perceived as an unprofitable venture meant for unserious persons. On their own paths, such candidates with unprofessional ambitions should do a good research on their course so as to articulate its advantage to their parents whose support they need.

Institutions in developed countries admit foreign students without employing favouritism or bribery to dictate for them. They even offer scholarships to support the study ambition of foreign students. Yet, our very own process in admitting our own youths to study has been tainted. The earlier our tertiary institutions begin to admit candidates strictly on merit, the sooner their names and intellectual output will become attractive to those who recognize quality. The best time to take a paradigm shift in our values as a nation is now so that the glory of our youths which is their strength can begin to shine accordingly.

Emphasis is placed on merit.
They are the school with the highest merit quota in Nigeria.
The University college hospital popularly known as uch is the best teaching hospital in Nigeria.
A total of 147 were admitted into this year mbbs program out of which 137 were selected on merit.
There is nothing like catchment and locality in the admission process because all the 36 state are within it's catchment.
I don't think there is any school that has 90percent or more dedicated to merit.
The most u can get is 75 percent that is unilag and UNN.
Medicine in most Nigeria Universities is politics. It is no longer about whether you are knowledgeable or not.
So if you don't want anybody to stop your dream of becoming a doctor I will advise you to pick Ui.
The basic requirements is having a jamb score of 200 and you are good to go.
It is the post jamb score and only the post jamb score is been used for the cutoff.

They need to state it clearly that " we would consider you but likely not admit you" cus quite a few people in zoology, mcb, nd some other departments are doing the courses cus the have the hopes that at the end of their degrees they can apply using it for Direct entry. Nigeria can just make someone frustrated, cause they state that those with A levels, Degree equivalents can apply. They should have just said only first class can apply. Nigeria isn't just it at all.

I think they place more priority on A-level than on degree.

Millex:

My friend had a very high 2:1 BSc Physiology yet no issue.

look the issue is that they lay emphasis on A-level than on degree.
I know of two guys that came in through DE but they are on first class. Your 2:1 must be like 4:4.
U will have to consider the fact that a lot of aspirants with very very very strong GP often apply.

Millex:

No offense but you didn't explain anything about DE,

The University of Ibadan admission into mbbs through direct entry is the very transparent.
Either u come in through A-level or the normal second class upper.
But it is is advisable you have a very strong second class upper in a relevant field such as biological sciences such as microbiology, zoology and basic medical sciences such as physiology, anatomy.
For the A-level it Is advisable u have a minimum of AAB in Cambridge A-level examination.
They don't accept ijmb.
This newly admitted set of mbbs are 27 but previous years they were higher than 27.
