Mumu. So you think Medlab is all about learning test procedures? A 300level Medlab student can comfortably give you the answers to to those LFT questions you asked talk more of a Chemical pathology specialist
I don't know why you keep arguing with him. If you go through his posts on other medical related threads, you'll notice he has always had that hatred towards Med Lab. Scientists. His posts are just filled with ignorance. We should learn to respect each other in the Nigerian Medical sector and stop all this interprofessional hatred. Patients treatment and recovery is the goal and we should be working as a team towards achieving that, as seen in many developed countries

Why do you want to switch to Medical Lab Science?
Are you marginalised?
I hope the MLS won't avoid this thread

The discrimination that exists in Laboratory Sciences are not heard of. But the Biochemist, Laboratory. Technician, microbiologist etc working in the hospital will rather contribute money to fight against the doctors than to seek equality in theor department first.


Very shallow reasoning here... @ "Contribute money to fight the doctors"

Wow you had to go through my profile ..
I dont hate your profession Mr man..
Those professionals you've cowardly chased out of the lab are your real enemies...not me!
Allow the microbiologist, biochemist remain in the and see how dispensable your services are..
Bros, I don't hate your profession. Don't have reason to..

LOL, lie, use Google yourself and search BCH syllabus. We didn't do anything like anatomy. I'm a bch graduate. I can name all the courses we did in year 2. I'm a uniben alumni for your info, so I'm didn't pass through a private or state University

Don't use one school to make conclusions, because you claim Uniben offers the course as Medical Biochemistry. But in a lot of schools, it's just Biochemistry and it's usually under the faculty of Science, and they have no business with Anatomy and Physiology

All biomedical students study anat, physio, bioch and maybe mcb.
No they don't, I schooled in Uniben. You are missing up medical Biochemistry which is under basic medical science with pure Biochemistry in life science. Pure Biochemistry has no business with Anatomy and Physiology and only few schools offer medical Biochemistry as a stand alone course

Seems you don't understand why MLS was created. Anyone that want to work in the lab can easily get MLS admission naa. Same thing with anatomist and surgeons, anatomist are also complaining that they can perform surgery abroad, LOL, same thing with Pharmacists and doctors, doctors want to be involved in the production of drugs, they did pharmacology yes, but if they want to produce drug, they should go for pharmacy. I've discussed about this topic with an MLS graduate, they have Medical microbiology, and medical biochemistry departments under MLS, others are haematology etc. Same thing with doctors who have paediatric, surgery, dentistry, Neurosurgery etc. The reason why SOME biochemist and MCB graduate want to work in hospital is because there is no job. You can't hear things like this abroad, so I don't blame them. But, it would be hard, it's not like bank where someone that studied maths can easily get a job, when life is involved, strict measures have to be taken.

Please the MLS specialist here advice me before making a wrong decision?

My daughter just got admission to study MLS at a state university, the payment for acceptance fees ends today yet to pay for acceptance. Unfortunately, I just learned that school fees is 1.2m which I can't afford as a private school teacher.

I am planning to change her course to anatomy which is 400k in the same school or she should forfeit the admission and write Jamb 2022 targetting an affordable school.

Please btw anatomy and MLS, which one has a viable future as in she would be able to stand on her own in the future. I don't want her to end up teaching in a private school like me in the future.

I think it's best she forfeits the admission since you can't afford the school fees for MLS, and write Jamb in 2022. Anatomy is not a professional course compared to MLS and the likes

Benter stop wasting her time. Even a secondary school student should know that private universities are very expensive.

She could have chosen a federal university, at Max, her school fees should be around 50k/year or even less

It will be the worst decision to change your ward from MLS to anatomy. Since you don't have the money for the fees, enrol jamb for your ward, filling federal university, though the chance of getting MLS in federal university is slim, if he or she study hard, the admission is sure.
MLS future in Nigeria is so bright, Alot of the graduate are traveling to UK and US now to practice.

The fight in the medical sector sha. I'm of the opinion that associate degrees should be allowed to enable Brethren from biological science programs enter into Med lab practice full time. During the pandemic, I remember how MLS guys trended hashtags for weeks on twitter wailing that there are being marginalized in the fight against Sars cov 2. cheesy The NCDC ignored their asses and employed graduates of Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Molecular Microbiology, Virology to carryout Covid-19 tests angry grin grin. You can also checkout the degrees of graduates 54 gene employs as molecular scientists that carryout Covid-19 test in their mobile labs grin. Truth is some of our MLscientists aren't really grounded in Molecular diagnosis. It reminds me of when I had a written interview with some MLscientists from UNN for the role of Biomedical Scientist for a Molecular Pathology Lab in Enugu and they couldn’t explain explain the general protocol in DNA and RNA Isolation, and the basic PCR reaction principle. It was surprising to me, honestly.
Stop this blatant lie. MLS never begged for the covid job. It was even the microbiologists that was trending an hashtag which says #professionalizemicrobiology. The federal ministry of health partnered with the medical laboratory science council of Nigeria to recruit volunteers into the lab. And you think that MLS council will recruit the likes of biochemists and microbiologists into the lab and ignoring their council members

mls is inconsequential without the pathologists nd radiographers without the radiologists. Physioth is better. Optometry is mangeable.

Nursing: high employability and social prestige within and outside nig.
can upgrade to NP Or anaesthetic or surgical nursing staff with good salary and benefits.
work in adm and mgt.
with career progression she can serve as independent primary care provider similar to GPs.
Great job adv and work security.

physioth: put smiles on people's face and gain rewards for offering medical rehab services.
work in diverse settings; sports, military, industrial clinics, nursing homes, hospitals, academia, prosthetics and orthortics
GOOD SALARY
job security
independent practice ie, can be her own boss

Defensive medicine makes u guys relevants. New techs likely to halt your technical involvement, hence clinicians can accelerate their care. Experienced clinicians depends lesser on unimportant testings. Advancement in point-of-care testing is reshaping clinical care.

thats why med bioc, med mcb graduates should also be allowed to fly nah. Is insecurity killing your people? Remember physicians actually created all these jobs in the 1st place for assistance and efficiency.

Thank God alot of patients are aware of the important of medical Laboratory investigations before treatment. They don't agree to blind treatment.
Drugs resistance Nigeria and Nigerians are battling with now were mostly cause by the clinicians. Encouraging quarkery because of their selfish gain.
The only saving grace is that the clinicians dominated the political arena, other Medical professionals are getting involved now politically.
