The medical students and aspirants thread by Lagusta(m): 10:45pm On Sep 15, 2012 |
HI. I am a final year med student of UNILORIN. I opened this thread cos I noticed there isn't any that is specially for medical students, and I believe this is an opportunity for all docs in the making to meet, chat, share experiences, ask questions, and even make new friends! Jambitos who wish to study medicine are also welcome... So, let the clerking and presentation begin!!!!

aliandro: I ave bin luking 4 ward to diz thread.By d grace of God,when unilag resumes by november 2012,i wil be resuming wit dem as a medical student(fresher).IS MBBS 6 yrs or 7 yrs.afta diz yrs wats d nxt step 2 take coz i want 2 go 2 d surgeon part WELCOME TO DA CLUB!!!!! I promise u will hav an unforgettable experience as u start ur journey.... Since u r a fresher, u will resume 100L studying the basic sciences I.e physics, chemistry and biology, maybe maths (we don't do maths in unilorin). Then u spend the next two years (the preclinical years) studying the basic medical sciences I.e anatomy, physiology and biochenistry. In unilorin, we also do a bit of behavioural sciences, microbiology, epidemiology and a WHO program called COBES. Now, when u get to 400L, you will do harder basic sciences: pathology and pharmacology, but u will also be introduced to the clinical sciences: medicine surgery, paediatrics and obstetrics and gynaecology. Finally in your last two years, yow will deal with only clinical sciences, including the surgical specialties, community health and psychiatry. Making a total of 6yrs. After graduation, u will be pre-registered into the MDCN (medical and dental council of nigeria) and start your housemanship for one full year (don't worry, u will be paid salary), then you will go for service, but be preparing to write your primaries exam, in order for u to specialize in your place of interest I.e surgery, am I correct ![]() Well, that's that for now... 66 Likes 6 Shares |

aliandro: Sir,wat do u mean by primaries.can u pls list sum of d txt buks u usd 4rm leve 1 to 6.is c.g.p.a or percentage usd in grading mbbs students. Primaries mean the exam u take that leads to the specialty of ur choice. It is usually written after housejob or service, and depends on the specialty of interest... CGPA is NOT used in medical school, we use progressive assessment (PA) which is like a percentage, in unilorin, u must make PA of 50% in all subjects before u can be promoted. Textbooks are numerous, however, these are the few I can give u.. 200L and 300L: anatomy Clinically oriented anatomy by keith moore Embryology by TM sadler Basic histology (can't remember the author's name) Physiology Review of medical physiology by WF gannong OR Physiology by guyton and hull Biochemistry Harper's illustrated biochemistry 400L Pathology Robbins pathologic basis of disease (U can also buy textbooks in haematology, microbiology and chemical pathology) Pharmacology Lippincott's pharmacology OR Katzung's pharmacology 500 and 600L Paediatrics Nelson's textbook of paediatrics OR Paediatrics by azubike (nigerian author) Obstetrics and gynaecology The ten teachers O & G OR Textbook of O & G by agoola (nigerian author) Medicine Medicine by kumar and clark Hutchinson's clinical methods (for clerking patients) Surgery Bailey and love short practice of surgery Churchill's pocket textbook of surgery (for exam stuff) Norman browse surgical methods (for clerking patients) NB: these books are TERRIBLY expensive, so when u get them, guard them with ur life!!!!!

Hmmm, don't kno about that, but here in ilorin, freshers pay about 33000 or so, stalites pay about 23000. So, make a rough estimate out of that...

Lagusta: *smiles* A medic will always have something to say - if not to ask. I like the idea behind creating a thread like this for medical students across Nigeria to share ideas, experiences, secrets and thoughts about the future. Medical schooling in Nigeria is quite challenging - from the entry to the "remaining" to the graduating sef - all na fight. Let's hope the thread doesn't follow the pathway of its predecessors by being lost among the admission jumble around this section. Btw - I'm Ema. University Of Uyo (400L) 5 Likes 1 Share |
