U can work in the lab.
doctors, don't produce cures those are done by biomedicals (genecist, anatomist, physiologist e.t.c) not even those in clinical medical labs, there job is 2 carry out clinical trials and use drugs.

u can work 4 d millitary.

but its best u consider agriculture.

u can consider havin 2 jobs daht joy of slt but if u want 2 me ben carson u can go 4 MBBS. u can also work in the hospital as a scientist, if u ar a genius, u really don't need a licence 2 be a sciencetist... jst hardwork and ur brains.

IF you want to say something be sure of what you are saying OK.
You don't know the work of MLS(find out)
You don't need a lisence to work in Medlabs(think again,maybe you mean in SLT)
its not about been a genius,we have genius in every profession.
Please be careful with what you post online.I don't want to educate you,just find out.

hello, pls I need an advice on the universities that admit B.sc holder into MLS thru D.E... Am a graduate of Microbiology..

I don't know about other schools.but in UNN,Yes they accept microbiology for DE.

OP,the better option is MLS.as a MLS,you are well groomed in what you are doing.MLS speciaties is not limited to only MedMCB(which pure MCBites knowledge in MEDMCB is faulty) as we also have ChemPath,Heamat,Immunology,Histopath.You can specialize in any of these.
People saying MCB can convert to MLS are not entirely wrong,MCB can convert only via DE/UTME.The 18months CONVERTION TO DIPLOMA IN MLT (not MLS) has been SCRAPPED and superceded by B.MLS soon MLS.D.
MLS are not limited to only HOSPITAL Labs.As we can also work in research lab,reference lab,MLS can also work in agencies like NDLEA e.t.c.

We have;
Medical microbiologist(pathologist)
Medical microbiologist(MLS)
microbiologist(B.Sc pure science)
Microbiologist(B.Tech/B.Sc.In SLT)
The first two are the ones you see in the hospital labs.you can see their background degree is not BSc.They are specialists in Microbiology.Don't confuse them with the last two.

Make your choice,and do well to GOOGLE these two COURSES.even in a SANER environment like the US,UK,CANADA MCB doesn't come close in terms of recognition,responsiblity,opportunity,pay package to MLS.

MCB IS GOOD,BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH WHEN COMPARED TO MLS.

ogbeni shift jare,

I only gav u d said question to at least show ur diagnostic skill as u now have the plan to open a shop in place of clinic where patient will prefer than a clinic, as if na malaria and typhoid is what we are talking about here,,
uv not even graduated ure confused already with future prospect..

lame excuse of feeling insecure to engage in online question,,mtcgeew
I gav u why am secured and why u aren't, don't form maturity stunt here, let us talk fact.

A doctor will always be a doctor, take it anywhere
what du u think doctors ar doing in their consulting room always if not to give a right diagnoses , I taught u said u know it better ni. pathophysiology my foot.

Now get this , that pharmacautical shop ure still eyeing after graduation, am not intending to employ a pharmacists self likewise many of my colleague coz pharmacist hav already implanted wickedness in medics mind,, go and open ur shop urself and keep dragging competition with unskilled chemist that littered around all horizons.
, just like my dr brother did, na me and sales lady/boy go dey run am,,I ll help her out in where she's confused till she get use to dispensing skill.
u too go and open ur shop and don't employ a doc, then use ur pathophysiology knowledge to treat patient with palsy. shebi u know drug ni..

or ure eyeing one manufacturing company abi,
tell me how many u hav in nigeria that ure eyeing after graduation, emzor abi
u see now that the future of a pharm is having genu vagum,

how many pharmacist are in my school teaching hospital self, few, pharm store outside is replaced with sales girl that hav been trained, all ur gra gra knowledge of dispensing is not useful ...

see i don't beliv in unhealthy health system o but if that's what u want , lemme start now by placing u and show u how useless u are in d health system.. ur idea is dead on arrival.

Just look at the trash you are spillling.a med student SMH.
You think pharmacy is all about dispensing?,just go and sitdwn and read for your MB.
In all,we all have our roles to play in the health team.medicine is good,so are other medical/health courses.All these struggles of professional superiority "of who knows what"should be channeled towards helping the patient.use your "superior" knowledge and break records in medicine/health through research.(that was what the white did/still doing today).Not by employing QUACKS in place of professionals or ENCROACHING in someone else's field with the tag of "i know it all/i can do them better than/i can do without others.....),which is not right.
Let peace reign in our HEALTH sector.

Firstgentleman1:
We don't like earning things in this country, probably because from childhood we have always been fed with a sense of entitlement. If you want to be a medical doctor, please by all means earn it. Don't go and be something close to a medical doctor and start claiming rights.

Some of these people in the medical line will get so pompous to the point that they start questioning what doctors do exactly. If MBBS does not matter, then please stop attaching yourself to all the benefits accrued to someone that sacrificed a lot to earn that coveted degree.

A doctor is different from other practitioners. They earned that, at least give them due credit.

Sharapp!!!

Good Day Patriotic Nairalanders. Pls I Want Your Sincere Advise On These Two Courses: Pathology And Radiology. I Did Alot Of Research On My Areas Of Interest And Eventually Came To Conclusion On Those Two Courses Above. Though, I've Done Some Internet Digging On The Courses Like Their Nigeria Labour Market Value, Etc But I Still Want Your Valuable Contributions On How Lucrative They Are In Today's Nigeria Labour Market. Pls Help O Cuz Jamb Registration Go Soon Close O Abegi. Thanks



Pls Mods, This Is The First Time I'm Really Needing Your Help. Pls Help Me Push This To Frontpage For Wider Views And Intelligent Contributions. Thanks. And Pls Do Not Dissappoint.

it should be radiography and medical lab science,Not radiology and pathology. the later are further specialization in medicine.Both have their advantage and disadvantage,both are lucrative,the same duration,same Salary package,maybe except private practice which is dependent on the indivdual.
Anyone that will give you any piece of advice here,will be biased.Radiographers make money so are medlab scientists.It will continue to go on on,and they will not give you a STRONG/TANGIBLE reason why one is better than the other.
just Choose anyone that fits your dreams and push further.

baleis14:
Not really BMLT as u said but BTech
check ur mlsn regulatory council handbook now or u browse it online

Did you graduate with B.Tech?
No university,be it coventional or technological awards B.Tech in MLS don't confuse yourself.

Fifthwave:

.
This same UNN, where someone with a GP as low as 3.5 can change to Medicine, while someone with as high as 4.4 will still be denied?
.
Please get your facts right. The percentage that actually change successfully without "IM" is very negligible.

"IM" is normal.So you expect them to accept you to the dept with a high GP just like that.If high GP is the only criterion to change,some dept will be empty.

Fifthwave:


But not everyone knows the way.

Find the way or ask those that changed sucessful.

Fifthwave:


How many percentage of people who do change of course to a course like medicine, pharmacy, law succeed?

You guys should stop deceiving yourselves. Besides, change of course form now cost N50,000. Something which is a game of chance.

If you know the way,you will be successful with the changing.I know two people that changed from that same animal science to MLS.

Like i said before,accept the admission if you still want medicine.Changing from one dept to another in UNN is very very possible.Also sit for JAMB for backup.
Medical courses are still hot cakes whether anyone wants to accept it or not.
All of you saying "you can work anywhere" just know that Not everyone likes working in an unrelated field After graduation.Just follow your heart .

Run run run! oh,all these irrelevant curses in Nigeria sef.you can still accept the admission,and purchase change of Degree to medical courses.just Think about it very well.

pinkylovely:


thank you. But from my own little research. Medical laboratory science is a 5 year course whereas medical laboratory technology is a 4 year course. Why's that?

Its the same,especially in Nigeria.But if it overseas,their educational/university requirement is different.

pinkylovely:


I appreciate your answer. But I just wanted knowing the difference between medical laboratory technology and medical laboratory science. It seems a lot of people think I refer to MLT as medical laboratory technician. And you just indicated that medical laboratory technology is a 4years HND course. HND is a polytechnic degree, right? But Rivers state University offers medical laboratory technology. I'm sure i won't be given a HND programme.

I think both of them are the same(Medical laboratory technology and Medical laboratory science).Most schools have not yet updated themselves that it is now "science and not technology".For example,in my school UNN we are referred to as Medical laboratory technology even in some of their official documents.But we all know we are in MLS. MLT(medical laboratory technician) and MLA (medical laboratory assistant) are diploma certificates,i don't think any school awards HND in MLT(if there is please do tell).the degree awarded to anyone that studied MLS/technology whether in a technology University or conventional is BMLS not BTech or whatever.BMLS is a specialized/a professional degree not your conventional Bsc.

SLT and their comparism everytime.student in all departments really need sincere orientation about their course.I said SINCERE because most departmental orientations are lies and that is what SLT and other BMS are suffering from.MLS is an all encompassing discipine.SLT that is always comparing,are your courses from THE COLLEGE OF MEDCINE in your school? Or just from your department in Faculty of Science.I ask again,SLT is your Department attached to any TEACHING HOSPITAL for adequate exposure(2000hrs)/real life experience(not normal school practicals) before graduation? I have seen SLT curriculum and it has been posted here again and again or is the curriculum fake.i wonder why these arguments still come up.someone up there said he can carryout haematology/BGS tests with the crash course he did in BCH.

Lets look at the names also.Michael is an hebrew name,Jesus is not an hebrew name.The name of the LORD in hebrew is YAHWEH and jesus is YAHSHUA.you can see that YAHWEH the Father and YAHSHUA the Son has a family name "YAH" which is not shared with any other angel.example Michael,Gabriel,Raphael,Uriel,e.t.c.that carries a family name "EL" ."el"means God but not the personal name of ALMIGHTY.
YAHWEH in English means I AM or I AM THAT I AM
YAHSHUA(jesus) means YAH(I am) is our salvation.
My conclusion is this,jesus(yahsua) does not belong to the same family/class with other angels because the name given to him is greater and also carries the personal name of the LORD "yah" which no other angel including michaEL carries.

From the scriptures it was not stated that Jesus is the same as Michael.
Joshua 5:14-15.Joshua saw an angel and the angel introduced himself as the commander of God's army(Michael).
Daniel 10:21.Talks about Michael been Israel's guardian.does that mean when jesus was on earth as a man no one was guarding Israel?or He has dual role?
Psalm 110:1.The LORD(Jehovah) says to my lord(Jesus)"sit at my right hand till i make your enemies your footstool".there was no way David could have referred to Michael as "lord".Paul also talked about it.
We were not commanded to pray through another name(michael) rather through one Name(JESUS).if michael is the heavenly name of jesus,we should be praying through michael and not jesus since jesus is now in heaven.

Kmartt:



My friend, its unfortunate u didn't comprehend my write up. To the poster above, If I were you, I wuld choose MEDICAL REHAB over and over again. I'm a graduate of MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY. Jst my own input. Shalom!

You said you will choose MEDREHAB,may i ask why?

Both are OK.everything depends on what you want to do.Both have their own ways of contributing to patient care.In Recognition,both are recognized.Both have opportunities and different specialties to specialize in.Conclusion,no one is better than the other,it is what YOU achieve with it that matters.

OP with what you wrote it seems you are a BCH student.BCH and MCB superiority fight is not today it started.Students of these two departments need to start developing themselves rather than fighting for something that is as useless course supremacy.BCH maybe harder but MCB is not easier too.Both are the same in the labour market,both have similar course content,similar application.instead of them to create niches for themselves,they are here claiming.

Low jamb score

Oh i see.That means he is not passionate to study agricultural courses.Let him accept the admission,try as much to graduate with 1st class or 2.1,OR he rejects the admission and sit for UTME next year(if he is sure he would pass the required mark for his desired course).Difficulties in getting employed is general in Nigeria,YES professional courses would give him a headstart in the labour market,but not everyone will be opportuned to study one of these professional courses.Mind you agricultural courses are also professional courses,he can still make good use of it without feeling inferior.i believe i have made a point.

free2ryhme:


Offer you advice?

Did anyone offered advice for your choice of ssce and jamb subjects

Don't be rude,its not mandatory you comment.The OP needed some piece of advice,the least you could do is to air your opinion or you bounce if you don't have any ,rather than being insultive to the OP.

free2ryhme:


If we can decide your future educational choice then you don't need to go to school

Just sit down in your house and fool yourself

Just offer your piece of advice and move on.

GoodMuyis:


Are you slow or what, were are trying to educate you guys that those that came were professional in Medicine Science I mean BSC, which make them qualified Health Worker

What do you mean by educating you guys? I know that there are medical personnels in the military.The questions are, were the people communicated/sensitized? Was there any epidemic in the region? Most people will be claiming as if they know any better.What happened in the SE is simple survival instincts.What the military did is still fresh and that same military wants to immunize/vaccinate the children.NOBODY SHOULD EVER SAY THE SOUTHEAST ARE BACKWARD BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE NOT ANY BETTER.

You can study MLS in a school with provisional accreditation.Try and find out from the department directly or through students of the department about their current status with NUC&MLSCN.Most information online are outdated.

lilman11:
I have a friend who chose agriculture in a university, but d fact is dat he is worried of unemployment after school and d value of the course in Nigeria, so guys ur candid opinion pls

he chose the course and he is now worried?did anyone force him to choose agric?did he choose agric out of likeness for the course or low jamb score?

I can see you want to be in the medical/health line,if so just follow what those above me have said,go for professional courses like Medicine/Dentistry,Physiotherapy,Radiography,Nursing,Medical Laboratory Science trust me you will have an edge and be better off.biochemistry,microbiology,anatomy are all good but not good enough in our dear country of today.crossing to professional courses after your 1st year is not as easy as it seems.Science Laboratory Technology is the best among those courses you listed.at least SLT will give you a little edge in industries and other work related places.mind you they are also licenced to carryout their job, but do not mistake it for Medical Laboratory Science,your SLT lisence does not cover a Medical laboratory.Goodluck with your choices.

onyxo76:
This is just on paper by the time the various dues and tax are deducted, your 270k drops to about 215-218k. Tax for a top SR earning 440k on paper is 96k monthly.

why u de lie like this? 440 to 96k chai!

250k is OK for a salary na.Are these salaries payable even in state hospitals?

What happened to civilian doctors and nurses?SE is still patching their wound python dance did to them and this same military is offering free medication abi na vaccination.Most of you shouting IGBOS are backward are just saying it out of stupidity.A Government can't use the Military to clamped down on agitation and use that same military to vaccinate the people,it will look suspicious.Its simple psychology."vaccinating the people yearly my foot".

MarianIsy:
please what's the difference between medical laboratory science, medical laboratory technology,

They are the same.We have Medical Laboratory Science,Medical laboratory technology,Clinical Laboratory science and Biomedical Sciences.All these names are the same thing,it now depends on the one a particular country decides to adopt.MT and CLS are mostly used by the US.Biomedical is used by the UK.African countries prefer MLS.They have almost the same curriculum,job description,salaries,e.t.c.

The truth be say UNN no fine compared to UNILAG,UI and OAU.Well no be structure we go chop,but it matters sha.UNN has been neglected so much,I don't know if i should blame the FG or School management or even prominent Alumni from the school.The only aspect UNN can boast is quality Education any other thing just dey.
