sorry..

This is pathetic.medicine in uniben takes a minimum of 8 years.UI should be better.

PHgirl:
Hi, guys. Can someone please give an overview of orthopaedic surgery as a specialty?

It's a medical subspecialty under the faculty of surgery. For you to qualify as an orthopedic surgeon in Nigeria,you must have acquired the basic mbbs degree from a recognised medical school.consequently, you're expected to write the primaries,part 1 and 2 fellowship exams of the department of orthopedic surgery,faculty of surgery.this training will take a minimum of six years in an accreditated institution. Upon graduation,you will appointed as a consultant.As an orthopaedic surgeon, you treat more of bones deformities and other supporting tissues.

FuckTheM0ds:
Dummy. So you didnt make prior enquiries about the institution youre going for before you applied it in jamb? And youre here asking incessant questions.
Nigerian students these days makes me weep for my fatherland.

Don't be a nuisance to yourself Mr.know it all.Must you know everything about the university you're applying for? You tend to get more information as the admission processing progresses.cheers!

goodday docs, I'm a 100lvl microbiology student at AAU, I wrote jamb dis year but d results of my centre were seized due to malpractice.....I'm thinking of abandoning microbiology (mainly because on d day of my jamb, I missed an exam) and doing A-level next year so dat I can use direct entry to get admitted into medicine at UI or uniben......

in direct entry, does UI/uniben prefer degree holders to A-level holders or are they seen as equal ?

with good A levels do I stand a good chance of getting admitted?

In Uniben,there is a specific number of slots for A level students and first degree holders. If you can meet up with their admission requirements for medicine, The sky is your starting point.

Most accident victims die as a result of lack of first aid treatment. Our healthcare has to overhauled. our politicians are not even helping matters. instead of adequate funding of our health sector,they jet out for mere headache.RIP doctors!

I have WAEC certificate zombie.

that your certificate has to be revoked because you didn't merit it..If you think literacy has anything to do with your waec certificate,then",Your certificate is not worth it

caleb404:


Stop adjusting it to fit what you want. Academic qualifications and professional qualifications are different things entirely. That you know but you choose to twist it.

You don't equate them sir. A computer guru can have all the CISCO and Microsoft qualifications but it doesn't equate to an academic degree. Same way as plumber or electrician can be knowledgeable in their field and have technical qualifications and expertise but it doesn't in any way substitute for academic qualification.

An educated illiterate spotted. shame on you.

ikeepitreal:
i changed my institution to UI,printed my slip and result(they both show Ui as first choice now) but someone is saying i have to go to jamb office to go and confirm the change.. plz is this true?

The information is far from the truth.

ygenius:
You sound like someone who chose medicine and was given that course.maybe After being convinced,you now see the course like a saviour of the world and you are now forming Merlin

And how does your assertion makes you better than him.The good thing is that he's found love in his present chosen career which is very important.I don't want to know how he got the course,but, I believe Ignorance directly or indirectly plays a major role in one's decision at some stages in life.

Why are you going off topic? And what is the need for this your hypothesis?



Why can't you live in the present and focus on solutions by which these stingy men and women who have always and still continue to fritter away your commonwealth can be curbed?



Or do you even know what is in store for you tomorrow? But you expect me to start daydreaming and telling you the plans I have for my fantasies!

You're not getting me right.In as much as I do not support our law makers profligacy doesn't mean I'm saint,neither are you!your wailing today won't change anything.It's a generational trend.but the good news is that in our time,things will change for good.


All we need do is to continue to pray for a better government and a better Nigeria at large.Everyone knows politics is the cause of our backwardness.

Sharrap! And return the cars!


As if car loans were not already approved for in their allowances!



Useless insensitive goats!

The question is,when you get there,will you make any attempt to enforce positive change in a more conservative way?

All I can see is ikebe.

kaymart:
this is serious...

The Pharmacists still remain the most honest health professionals u can think of....

some comments on nairaland make me purge atimes.how did you draw your conclusion?. meanwhile, what's the role of a pharmacist?

babybrace:
Still passing through alot, 4yrs after sec school but yet to be admitted. I pray this year will not pass me by shaa

Life can be so frustrating atimes.but,brace up,challenges are stepping stones to good success.

F*ck Buhari the dullard, f*ck Aisha

There are more reasonable great women of Nigeria that they supposed to name it after not the wife of a dullard who never impacted on any life in the country

And you're one of those great women?No doubt you're a wailer.

You didn't have to attack him.

I hate it when people pretend to know something.I didn't expect that from a doctor.We all are trying our best to ensure nurses cries are heard.They need to be on par with their counterparts in the pharmacy and med lab science professions.you don't justify your plea by using

DrAdonis:


I dont want to say you have comprehension problem, but it's obvious you don't understand what I wrote. Read what I wrote again, and this time with the intention of understanding and not replying. Thanks.

Sharap!olodo doctor like you don't know the meaning of 'allied'.

DrAdonis:
As a doctor, I agree to most of what the graduate nurses are requesting for. There's no reason physiotherapists, optometrists or lab scientists should be placed above graduate nurses or why they should undergo internship with nurses being excluded.

Doctors, nurses and pharmacists are the CORE health professionals even though the doctor plays the central and cordinating role and sends the patient to get drugs from the pharmacists, get some care from the nurses amongst other things.

Those other health workers are ALLIED HEALTH PROFESIONALS and there's no logic as to why they should be placed above nurses. Their requests should be considered in the interest of justice.

Say what you know.Don't disgrace yourself on public forum.


The nurses are indispensable members of the medical team.hence,be well compensated.

Which one be physiotherapy hospital again?

davbravo:

Maybe

Nigerians are damn funny.You saw an advert for residency programmes, yet, you still used
the word 'maybe'.




It's an advert for resident doctors who wish to specialise in medical microbiology.

Chuksyd1:
This is sad..

Nigeria is a confused nation, no doubt.RIP MAN.

originbm:



Let's take this bit by bit.
The cost of setting up a clinic does not matter provided that the turnover rate is huge.
Standard eye clinics are equally capital intensive projects.
The problem with setting up dental clinic is not the cost...it is the probability of recouping returns on the investment.With all the awoofs u get from govt,u guys can afford private clinics...
Let's put the question hypothetically...
If u invest 10 million naira in a dental clinic,and 10 million naira in an optometry clinic in say any Nigerian city ,which do u think will return your investment much faster...do I really need to spell it out?
Optometry clinics thrive even in small towns where dentistry will not dream of thriving...
The govt is a big spender,a real uncle Sam.The ability to extract money from govt is not a function of input and output. It is a function of politics.Politics decides who gets what, when and how.Other pressure groups in the health care discovered this immutable truth of Harold Lasswell only too late.
The public health system in Nigeria is a cesspool of professional inefficiency...it is not a standard to hold to in an argument of this nature...
And of course u wouldn't know that optometrists in USA perform surgeries.
Are u going to compare the salary of any dental consultant with the income of a high brow optometric entrepreneur?
Are u going to compare the grossing of any dentist with that of unique eye care?
Ol boy na wao...
Again eye care is not dominated by the public sector...The eye care is a unique system of health care unlike other specialties...In most cities over 75% of eye care is provided by private clinics.
Like u said no medical course is bad...or put in another way:to each his own.

Hw about we start implementing ur wonderful idea by refraining from mudslinging other professions in a public forum?

Everyone must not own a medical facility. In business ,1+1 might not be 2..number of clients you see per day does not necessarily determines your Gross profit or net profit per say..Have you been to most renowned dental clinics in Nigeria? business is more than what you think.For the fact faith eyecare is earning big doesn't mean Nene dental clinic is not earning big or even more .I don't even care if there's huge money in private clinics or not. I might not even own one.A happy life is all I'm after.Is it not the same private clinics everyone is complaining about on naira land?

originbm:



Let me give u a little info Mr...
Of all the forms of practice in optometry,public practice is the least emphasized all over the world...from Canada to Australia to Britain.
I HV told u DAT in presenting ur argument u must differentiate between the fallouts of professional politics and clinical realities.
If Nigeria's oil drys up 2moro,dentistry will fade out faster than fake jeans...hw on earth can someone compare optometry with dentistry in lucrativeness in Nigeria...
But of course it easier to insult a lady than to reason rationally
Dentistry is benefitting from Nigeria's twisted version of health care...
Don't ever confuse privilege with value...What they HV in the public system where anything goes is privilege...in the private sector where real value counts,they are the poorest health professionals ..
. Even ur board knows DAT.They respect themselves and admit only 25 in a class knowing that they would be creating beggars if they release more dentists than the public service can accommodate.
Can u compare mega optometry private eye clinics with those in govt hospitals?
My guy go and relax...tnk God for govt awoof...
If only dentistry should ever go on strike who will respond to them...
Don't mention dentistry and optometry in Nigeria in one breath when the issue is lucrativeness...

Don't be deceived.private dental services are very expensive and very rare to come by.based on this,people tend to boycott private dental clinic.the health insurance scheme doesn't even help matters. No medical course is bad but Nigerians tend to patronise public hospitals except in complicated cases.public sector dominates Nigeria's economy so we base our argument on public sector unlike the US n UK which are dominated by the private sector.Even in these countries, dentistry has edge over optometry no doubt.specialties like oral n maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics beat most medical specialties hands down.It's just doing what you love doing best that matters.

Definitely, the positive change is near.we trust you baba.Go prove your critics wrong.

sagaciousblog:
they can...they work with the doctors as implied by the post...it's a very nice course.

No doubt but I'm talking from the perspective of Nigerian doctors ego..
