Dear doctors in the house, I'm a third year medical student in a nigerian university, I got an offer to study medicine in eastern Europe, will it be wise to accept to offer and start over again or should I complete my studies here.
My major reason for accepting the offer is the fact that I'm scared that I wont be able to practice (or it would be very difficult) to practice in the country of my choice, because I heard nigerian certificates arent held with high regards compared to others from European countries
I just want to know if it's possible to practice somewhere else after completing my studies here with a nigerian degree

Your choice. Seems as though there's an opportunity cost for each of your decisions. Cost wise, it's cheaper to study here and you have 4 yrs to go.

However, since you don't intend to practice in Nigeria, it'd be a good idea to travel out once and for all. You can practice in Europe without hassles so that's the benefit.

Oga Japa!!!!!!!!!!!

To be frank with you, better escape to Europe and start all over again, your certificate will be highly valued at any part of the world.

Please abroad straight........

The only thing that comes to my mind is japa japa!!

Thank you very much for your answer sir

The cost is pretty much settled and by the grace of God that wont be an issue
The only thing hindering me is the fact that I'll have to waste the 3 years spent here
So I want to be sure its was worth it
I met a consultant here in my school that advised me against it, telling me doctors are better paid and treated here in nigeria than the countries people go to.

But from your answer you say it's easier for medical doctors that studied abroad to secure jobs abroad
So it's significantly harder for doctors that studied in Nigeria to secure jobs abroad?

�thank you very much for your response

That's what my mind is telling me
The doctors I asked here tell me there's no difference in the certificate
Thank you for your response

Well, I have a few doctors on my list who are currently learning German from me. One of the issues they face is that they have to do a licencing exam, same thing for Canada, but if u study in Europe, it gives you preference in the European market for job positions. So u have to know that if you plan to migrate to US or Canada later, you still have to write the same medical licencing exam as a Nigerian. But within EU, you'd have an advantage.

The doctor who also gave you an advice is not wrong too but ultimately nobody can tell you where and how to live cos fulfilment is a personal thing... So it's your choice man. Good luck.

whaaat that is not true, the fact is Nigeria doctors are very good outside, but with our MBBS certificate they wouldn't trust you they will still ask you to past some exams before you can practice quite stressful.

Start afresh

Start afresh abroad sharperly...forget Naija medsurge...

I know what am saying!

Leave this country if you can

I believe you have the fund. Run now that you can.

Japa now that you can.. Because even after you finally graduate from that medicine here in Nigeria you will still later want to japa because of the situation of Nigeria.

So the difference is that you postpone your japa time

Doctors here are still living fine sha.
