If Nigerian certificates are not useful outside the shores of Nigeria, how is it that thousands of Nigerians use their bachelor's degrees to secure admissions for post graduate studies outside? Why don't they go back to first degree programs?

Nigeria has complex problems we understand but Nigerians are very undeterred people. Our universities ane certificates are useful anywhere in the world.

If we don't value ourselves no one will.

You see you are so ignorant that people like you will make me want to explain more.

To work as a doctor or any medical field e.g, a surgeon in an American hospital, you'll need to meet the requirements set by the relevant authorities in the United States. With a Nigerian degree, you'll likely need to go through a few steps to get licensed and certified to practice surgery in the US.

Here are some general requirements:

1. *ECFMG Certification*: You'll need to apply for certification through the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). This will involve verifying your medical degree and passing a series of exams, including the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) or the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX) series.
2. *Licensure*: You'll need to obtain a medical license to practice in the state where you want to work. Each state has its own licensing requirements, so you'll need to check with the state's medical board for specific requirements.
3. *Residency Program*: You may need to complete a residency program in the US to gain practical experience and meet the requirements for board certification.
4. *Board Certification*: To become a certified surgeon, you'll need to pass the certification exam administered by the American Board of Surgery (ABS) or the American Osteopathic Board of Surgery (AOBS).

It's also important to note that some American hospitals may have additional requirements, such as language proficiency or cultural competency training.

I'd recommend checking with the following organizations for more information:

- Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG)
- American Medical Association (AMA)
- American Board of Surgery (ABS)
- Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB)

It varies by state because more state are even more regulated and more strict on foreign studies practice..

Since you don't want to understand in a Nigerian illiterate language
So now I break it down for you in a much advanced level I hope you understand me now you buffon

I can see you like all the attention you get from typing lengthy rubbish and getting hundreds of mentions. I can conclude that you're a troll. Bye

Re: Is Nigeria Certificate Useful Outside The Country? by seunayantokun(m): 11:03pm On Dec 27, 2024
It depends on needs over there. The emphasis is not on certificates but what you can do. If you're a certified auto mechanic here in Nigeria, your certificate is useful if you can demonstrate knowledge, competence and profociency. That applies to all fields of interest. Also, apart from that all skills you possess are useful. But if you carry certificate for head like gala and come dey think say na chop-chop government job like Naija, na o.y.o. you dey so o.

Lol just typing rubbish with calmness han han feeding people with lies.

I am a physiotherapist, I got a job in UK directly from Nigeria in 2022 and I moved there and I work with NHS, I only applied for a license to work as a physiotherapist in UK. That is all I did.

I have met so many doctors that studied in Nigeria, working as doctors here, they didn’t have to go to any more school, they just wrote the licensing exams to practice which is standard.

I have countless number of nurses who got job directly from Nigeria.

Stop spreading misinformation

The guy said nothing but the truth in correcting what you earlier posted, that the doctors or nurses would have to go back to school in the UK or so, but that's not true, all they need to do is under take some qualifying licencing exams in those countries so as they can practice their profession which are in modes (1 - 3 exams) spaced in months or years, which makes it looks like they are in school but they aren't even in school.

Its that simple.

Good question..

I hope I try to explain this as much understandable as I can for you.

You see all those doctors here in Nigeria right, they are not doctors when the relocate abroad. They get jobs as home care aid to nursing sick people. That is a different occupation far far from practicing as a doctor in America or Canada or UK.
Infact you can as well apply to be a home care assistant as well with your university degree from Nigeria which is considered a normal equivalent to diploma here. You just have to pass the nursing exam which I know a 200level university student from Nigeria can read the Q&A and pass as well.
What you do is simply take care of old people or mentally unstable people and make sure they don't poop on their self or when they do you change them and also make sure they take their meds regularly and also monitor them so they don't harm their self.
Anybody can do that job infact that is equivalent to a factory job if you don't know only this time you be more careful because you handling a human life and can be arrested and you go to jail if you flop because it is stated there in your agreement you sign before you start working.

If you want to be a doctor in these countries, you have to apply for a medical or a nursing program/ degree where you undergo the process from the begining according to the countries teaching regulations and standards, pass the necessary exams, go for your training practice, write another exam if you fail you have to retake it which happens very often because I have friends who it has happened to. Then luckily you pass them you go under the process to be a certified nurse or doctor depending on the field you choose

I hope you get the point now. Merry Xmas and season greetings.

Stop spewing lies. I am a medical doctor from Nigeria, today practicing in Australia.
I only passed my licence examination and I didn't have or need to attend any additional school to practice.
Our Local Certifications are recognised 💯% abroad.

Listen to me.
We are saying the same thing here.
But you are not breaking it down to the best you can. Not all degree even related to medical just because you hold the degree you can go to another country and go practice just like that.
Inside medical degree them get OG medical degree.

I have lived in different countries and I know what I am saying for you it might be different

There are some medical degrees infact my degrees related to medicine infact not just medicine or engineering etc if you tender am dem no go even send you.

Infact of today's word, your degree is just a piece of paper.
For some places with your degree they consider you OVER QUALIFIED. Been there done that.

Now I still stand on my word if you carry your Nigerian degrees go find job abroad 98% chance you not getting that job if you like drag with your ancestors. Infact just you African name self don spoil your application. ( You can argue on that with someone else)

Now like I said I no say Nigerian degrees is worthless but it is verly less considered. the country you are living will much likely want you to go to their school and get their certifications.

I know say you be talking about life in the UK or with respect to the UK. Come you don forget say we and the British educational system na almost the same thing. Or did you forget the colonized us Nigeria and made us learn their educational system.
Cary you Nigerian degrees go America or China or Luxembourg or Finland say you wan apply as doctor or you want professional job.
I dey wait you to show me your pay stub from those countries where our nature of education is way different from theirs EXCLUDING the UK.
Shoot.




Oga you have never lived anywhere outside the shores of Nigeria, with this your gutter narration. Most Nigerian Doctors and Nurses are working all around the globe with Nigerian certificates.

Look you don't get my point. I ain't saying your degree is useless.
Get my point right.
Read my sentences well.
Nigerian degree is a pathway to other opportunities abroad in whatever skill or occupation you have.
In most cases you can not work with your Nigerian degree without
1, getting a certificate related to your field.
2, not all countries around the world recognize Nigerian degree for you to work in their countries
Some countries you will some you won't.
But still you can use your Nigerian degree to apply to other school to advance your profession.
If you don't understand where I am coming from or what I am saying that's fine I don't know what or how more to say it to you.

You clearly stated one have to get a fresh degree(apart from the previous Nigerian degree) and write another exam(whatever that is, probably the licensing exam)

If you have a B.Ed degree from a Nigerian accredited university and you come to the UK .

You will be classed as a professional teacher and can immediately start working as a teacher.

I know quite a lot 😁 of ex Nigerian teachers who left Nigeria to do Master's programmes in the UK. When in Nigeria where barely earning 50k a month.

You are allowed as a student to work 21 hours a week when the university is in session. And they regularly work as supply teachers getting £150-200+ a day .

Whats CRAZY 😧 is what they earn in one day in the UK is near equivalent to what they would have earned in one year in Nigeria.

But of course they misguided sycophants here will say

You are a very big liar
Stop saying nonsense . You don’t need any 5 years to be able practice in the US.
The earlier the better sef .
The closer you are to your year of graduation , the better it is for your application.

One can even begin to write US licensing exams from medical school before graduation.
My classmate from medical school left to start residency immediately after house job in 2021. He didn’t even finish his last posting before he left .
He is now an attending and about to start his fellowship training in another hospital .

Naira land used to be a place filled with really knowledgeable people.
Unfortunately, it’s no longer the same . Smh
/
Ok.
Let's add it.
Residency is minimum of 3 years ( for those lucky to be placed on first attempt in low competitive specialties)
USMLE part 1
USMLE part 2
Intermediary logistics.

Minimum of 5 years is sacrosanct. Your friend is either an outlier or a liar. Take it to the bank. A story that starts with "my friend" (not personal experience) is not credible.

Not exactly so Sir

I guess what you speak of is the United States residency program and the Percular nature of the United States medical system [ which is for both US trained Doctors & those coming from outside the US]


But the point is - when you are doing residency you are already practicing
/
Are you talking about practicing or becoming a full-fledged MD? The apprentice fixing your brake pad is already practicing but is not considered a full-fledged mechanic. The value of a resident physician (still considered an apprentice/student under the auspices of an attending physician by the way) is attached to his salary which is peanuts compared to medical doctors. Residents are not qualified to write all orders especially controlled substances, invasive procedures AND their orders are usually double-checked through their attending. Now if s/he is a fellow, it is a different ball game.
