Hahahahahaha
Now you are Changing Mouth. I thought you said there is Nothing Like Bachelor's in MLS at all.
They are not in those top Schools doesn't Stop anything. Doesn't Make it Less Recognized than others.

You Work in NCDC Osun, because you don't have any MLS There (which i doubt anyways, i wonder who Carry Out Tests There )then there is no MLS in NCDC as a whole! Wonderful! . And you have also Met Every professional at UNICEF to Conclude there is no MLS there, Interesting! well, I don't Like Insulting people sha.But you are ignorant.

If you Like Do a 5yrs Professional Certification Top up to your MCB,with your Licence,you are not a MLSt.you will only End up in a Medical Microbiology Lab and thats it.
What do you Know in Transfusion Science Lab, Heamatology Lab, Chemical pathology Lab, Histopathology Lab,Pharmacology Lab, biomedical Engineering, Forensics
These are Aspect of MLS. You think MLS is about MP and Widal Test shey?
Nigeria is also Restricting MLS too.

About Giving Medical Advice, MLS give Advice to whom it May Concern. I don't have to come on TV before i Give any Advice.

You Make it Look Like MLS is just about Test, Test and Test.
You want to tell me you have not Seen a MLSt that is a Virologist too.i have seen Plenty.Go and Read about MLS bro.

Like i said, i am in 400L i have done and still doing Public Health and Epidemiology, Cellular Biology, BCH and that MCB you are Making Noise.

Medical Laboratory Sciences is an Encompassing Course. It paves Way to Different Aspect. Something you don't want to Accept. As Far As Medical Microbiology Goes,you are Under MLS. We have Professors And phDs in All Aspect of MedMCB.

We have So Many MLSt that are in Public Health, Research Institutes etal.
If they want to Create Vaccine they will call All that are Involved. MLS will be there 100%.
Is it MCB that will test the Vaccine in Human?

Keep Deceiving yourself.

In Nigeria and other under developed countries, MLS is a better career FOR NOW..
But go outside this country, you can never see a degree in med lab sci in most schools..
That is because it's a broad course and no one can specialise in pathology, micro, biochem, haemo etc all at once..
That's becoming a jack of all trade..
MLS in Nigeria is the reason we will never progress, because no matter what they say, they will always provide mediocre service to health.
And in the future, Nigeria will definitely cut off MLS because it's too broad.
The reason why microbiogists are not treated well in Nigeria is because they don't further into special fields..
You can't graduate a microbiologist and think you are done..
So my advice is take the MLS career and remain a local champion in hospital that will probably burn out in the nearest future, or take MCB and further into either med micro, research or MPH..
I am a microbiologist and I study Medical Microbiology for master's degree.. I'm currently working at NCDC as a virologist and I previously worked at UNICEF as an intern public health scientist, and I can tell you i have not seen any MLS in the 2 places I have worked..
If you are a committed person, go for MCB and further your degree, during your masters, volunteer for different health programs, I promise you, there are plenty places you can work..
And if you want to a certificate in MLS to work in a medical lab, just apply for a scholarship abroad, it'll take you only 2yrs and a better training.. compared to the joke of a BMLS in Nigeria.. after the 2 years, you'll have a knowledge of many fields in Microbiology and also MLS
Meanwhile a MLS graduate can never use 2 yrs to learn all the fields of MCB.. he/she needs to starr a 4yr program again..
That's 8yrs.. compared to 6yrs you'll use..
Argue with your ignorant brains

Johnblakii:


Did you say biomedical engineering
Did you say forensics
In my country Nigeria
Baba better go inside your poor funded hospital lab and do ur work..
That's where 99% of you work

Johnblakii:
Lol.. they are not in top schools, they are not in many schools..
Dude... You can't argue this at all..
It's not even reasonable to argue with you..
You are comparing a broad course in oil, environmental, plant, food, geoscience, space and medical fields....you are comparing it with a course in only medical line..

Imagine this insult ooo..
Is it salary range you wanna compare, is it the unlimited potential in career you wanna compare?
I studied med microbiology, and yet I could leave it and go into oil, bioremediation etc...
Or is it because Nigeria is limiting the course?
Ant comparing itself with elephant..
Who will they pick in research between a medical microbiologist and a medlabsci?
After hospital and diagnostic labs that pays not more than 300k for those that have more than 20yrs, which other high end salary is in medlab
Lol, you are in 400lvl, so I won't blame you... Your brain never develop well..
Leave school first and enter life... Then we can talk..

For the other people reading this that's trying to make a decision btw medlab nd mcb, just know you can't practice with your Nigeria license outside this country, you still need to take part in a training before taking the exam... That's up to 12mnths I'm sure... Just think about that.. You are limited to Nigeria where I can assure you, you might get employment easier but your salary won't pass 300k in your lifetime... 300k is even too too too much.. it's only for the Baba in the course that spent over 25yrs in the field.. unless you wanna go into academics, which is the same salary as other courses.. if you go into academics, I can assure you, MCB get more and easier grants than medlab.. that's if medlab do research sef .. a the researches done in medical and biological sciences Field are done by biological scientists.. check journals to confirm my claim..
You can go for that and be limited or go for MCB and be committed.. i can assure you the ISS is your starting point..
I am 26yrs and I'm already making 230k per month in my job.. that's apart from the Forex trading and IT work I do..

Just be committed, I assure you, you won't regret it..
We like fast and cheap success in Nigeria and your peers will pressure you.. but I say again, hard work and smart work pays.. can't argue anymore.. Peace

Johnblakii:
Lol.. bros no vex....
Finish school first...
And let's see how you'll just go write exams for certification in the UK you are talking about.. lol..
Better get career advice before you mislead ur sef into a boring routine dead end job..

I was already researching in virology before I was called to assist in NCDC...

If you go outside the country, every single place you can work, we can work too..
Dude all you say shows you don't have experience at all..
I don't have much experience also but I have gone to clinical laboratories in Germany and I can tell you MLS is not needed there.... They prefer pple who specialises in specific path... That ur MLS degree, you'll drop it and get trained the way they'll train a microbiogists..
I'll say again, it's Nigeria that's giving you people mouth..

And guy, students in Nigeria are not advised on what to.do before going for a career... That's why microbiogists in Nigeria graduate and don't know what to do again..
I graduated from a private university, and every single one of us in MCB are working and furthering with our certificate, and you know why, because we were all given career advice on what to do and how to achieve it..
The reason why MCB is so abused in Nigeria is because the graduates don't know the potential of that career..

Guy CLS or MLS is not a bad course, but it's overrated..
And you can't compare with MCB

arinzos:

There is no 18Months MedLab Whatever. If you want to work in the Medical Lab, go through JAMB/DE and Bag your B.MLS.
B.MLS is the Only Degree that will Qualify you to work in a Medical Lab.

Johnblakii:
Lol... you bet your balls?
what else do they do in the lab abeg?
did they teach you what microbiology is?
because you did not get a job as a microbiologist? because the brain-dead school you went to contains graduates of microbiology that did not get job in their field?
guy, microbiologists are getting jobs.. u just don't know,,
check out this pic.. how many years it will take you to be a lab technician that you people are fighting for... This is from the American Society of microbiology...

Hahjascho:

You words are too harsh.....only God knows how you get to interact in real life.....The experiences you had shouldn't have pushed you to rubbish someone's point of view.....#ain't done like that

Or does that make d course so cheap...even when it comes to reading to pass?...make research.. May it's due to d uni u once studied d mcb course by


Finally, no one is actually enforcing one course or the other on the op.....and neither does it change his mind.....

Nevertheless of ur experiences ....you try to respect someone's point of view

Johnblakii:
Just like Medicine, you can't just stop at BSC level for MCB. you have to specialize at postgraduate level...
dude, it is because mcb association is weak that is why MLS have mouth in nigeria.
trust me you guys are just lab technicians elsewhere..
I will say it again... a graduate of mcb just needs 6-month training to get the medlab license abroad,,,,
Nigeria is just a useless country that is why you have ground.... a country where history graduates work in space research organization....
in all the breakthroughs in medicine and infectious disease since the creation of this world, have you heard any MLS graduate discover something?
modena and pfizer scientists who created the vaccines for coronavirus, check their degrees... they are vaccinologists, microbiologists, biochemists and doctors... and they all have skills in lab science without going through 4yrs of useless school to restrict themselves in just one field.
please be guided ooo....

Una still carry 2018 matter enter 2021? Nawa o

Nutase:


It is obvious you're not well informed. @ OP A microbiologist can be a Medical Lab Scientists Associates after just 18 months by doing MLT course. Ask any lab scientist if you think I'm lying but an MLS student can NEVER convert to be a microbiologist and that qualifies you to work INA hospital. Bro you can lie for Africa when Microbiologist do MLT for 18 month he/she become lab technician a backwardness on it own but still junior brother to a lab scientist as for m.sc in medical microbiology that's for a specialist in MLS not MCB





The author of the post I quoted is obviously a lab scientist and not a medical doctor as he claims You can tell from the bitterness in his post.
"Nobody dey free say him mama soup no sweet but an independent judge will always say the truth."
In times past a MCB graduate did not need to do that 18 month conversion b4 working in a hospital lab. These MLS guys have an inferiority complex because whenever a MCbst is present they always appointed them head so they came up with this grand political scheme which hasn't changed anything. It only requires patience (18 months) and you are working in a hospital




Medicine is still the most lucrative course in Nigeria not because it pays well but because it guarantees you employment

Don't let that man deceive you to study MLS a microbiologist can work in a/as a hospital, brewery, researcher,lecturer just name it and when you find yourself in the hospital an MLS graduate can NEVER be your boss but an MLS graduate is stuck in a hospital laboratory taking excreta and blood samples.


Please visit any big reputable laboratory or better stil go to http://www.mlscn.gov.ng/ for more info.

Nutase:
It is myopic to think medlab is more lucrative than microbiology.
Microbiology has better opportunities because it is broad and all encompassing. It doesnt limit you to a hospital laboratory like med lab.
You have so many branches of microbiology to choose from like medical, industrial, marine microbiology, virology etc just name it. whereas med lab limits you to just one choice.
Secondly with your Bsc microbiology you can just do the 18 months med lab program and you switch to med lab and you will always be their boss that is why they have so much hatred for microbiologist. But med lab cannot convert to a microbiologist.

This is the best motivation ever. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm going for my bsc microbiology then Msc med lab.

Scholar212:
Better ignore whatever you read there. They are 99% incorrect. You are better off going for medical lab and specializing in Microbiology, there is no conversion program again. Even with Msc in medlab as long as you don't a BMLS you are not recognized as a Medical Laboratory Scientist. There is no microbiologist job posting a medical lab scientist in Medical Microbiology specialization can't apply for. But the other way round does not apply most times.

femianski:

There's nothing like MSc. Med lab. There's only MSc in one of the specialties. And that doesn't grant you license to practice in the medical laboratory. That 18 months program has been scraped off many years ago. You'll have to go back to school and get BMLS for you to be licensed.
