That consultant is economical with the truth. Come and see consultants migrating and going abroad to start residency afresh abroad. Make hay while the sun shines. matt97367: |

matt97367:I hope you will read my own suggestion. Yes, everyone is telling you to leave but I have a contrary opinion. Don't leave yet. Complete your study here, and then seek for postgraduate study abroad. Then after you begin to seek for residency abroad. Whoever told you that Nigerian certificate is not recognized is not telling you the truth. 1 Like |

CanadianNaija: Passing the licensing exam before practicing is normal. Also doctors from east europe will have to pass the licensing exam to practice. |

You mentioned Eastern Europe, where exactly? I've been around Eastern Europe, it's tough there. I'll advise you to finish up your studies in Nigeria. Medical doctors will have to do qualifying exams in any country to be able to practice there. That's the standard. Starting again in a country you don't understand its challenging. I've seen too many Nigerians lost their dreams abroad because they're not well prepared. No university degree to begin somewhere. They regret it and end up frustrated. Even musicians and sports men and women from Nigeria who thought travelling abroad will make their dream bigger regretted their decisions. So if you're in school already, finish up first then think about travelling abroad. Education is priceless anywhere in the world. |

murphyibiam15: My thought, exactly. He/she should have mentioned the country’s name so that people can advise him/her properly. You don’t hide things from people who would help you. If the country he/she is saying is Poland,Czech Republic, Austria, the Baltic States, it may be ok for him/her to go because, many at times, people mix Central Europe up with Eastern Europe. It's good he/she mentions the exact country’s name. |

Your consultant might be right to some degree. I will advice you to travel if you are going to a country you plan to stay and practice the medicine you study at such country. Thinking you will study medicine in Kazakhstan or Albania and plan to practice in US or Canada does not fly any longer. Lots of Russian Dr. drives cabs in Chicago. matt97367: |

I think Europe is the best in the sense that the 3 years u feel u wasted here is another advantage for u. Ur course of 6 years here in Nigeria university can take u 10 years to finish with the ASUU strike onless is a private university. But to be honest if am in ur shoe i will choose Europe and start all over again cus of the opportunity in future. With ur Europe certificate u are recognized all over the world but u can't say so for Nigerian certificate. |

matt97367: Unless, you are in a Private University in Nigeria....with the constant ASUU strikes, isn’t it too premature to assume that, you may be losing ‘3 years’, since no one knows how many more years is left. But in Europe, things will be more predictable. |

matt97367: Well.....its easier to secure a job here than in Europe. If you were going to Canada or the US, that's a different story altogether. In Europe, especially Eastern Europe, I'm not quite sure what your prospects are. I cant say you will fare better than in Nigeria. I don't know. But I do know that Eastern Europe is only a little different from home. I will be frank with you. Finish up in Nigeria. Your best prospect is in Canada or US. Eastern Europe is uncertain. It is a communist dominated region. I dont think you want to pitch your tent there. |

I think your best bet is to leave right now since you're just in your third year. It doesnt really mean starting afresh entirely as some of your credits from Nigeria can be transferred to many schools overseas, so just see it as a continuation phase for you. If you decide to stay, no one has any idea how many more years the constant strikes in Nigeria will make you waste in school and you may end up regretting this moment when you had the choice. 1 Like |

If you can do all your toilet visits abroad, do so, Nigeria is not even the right place to have a child. |

matt97367: No difference. practicing as a medical doctor abroad is not easy too as a black. You might end up being a bar man. Mind you if the school you want to study in is not recognized by NMA, if your decide to come back to Nigeria, you will not be able to practice. so think very well. Don't be too much in a hurry. finish your studies here and go for specialization abroad. Ask any good doctor. |

Before you think of going abroad please consider if the degree you will get is accredited and recognized if its not better to stay back in Nigeria |
