Wooooow!!! My head started swelling as I read this.. Thank you very much.

SamConquer: Rubbish!!!Medicine after death.You can't tell Me that you were'nt aware of the brouhaha that will emenate from your Callous Statement.You are Just trying to act on a Script which you have Arranged.Imagine telling a Pharmacy Student that Nonsense.I know you where feeling kinda Intimidated so you just decided to Spew gibberish...Let me educate You a bit...If You are current I hope you heard of the Story of a Medical graduate who after Graduating decided to drop his Stethoscope and venture into Illegal oil business[am sure he later discover that what he thought about Medicine,was not what it turn out to be] and was Caught,what about Patrick Soon-Shiong a Medical doctor by Profession,but venture into Pharmaceuticals(America Pharma partners,Abraxis Bioscience) which made him a Forbes-known-billonaire....Stay there and think that reading only M.b.b.S is the only thing.I hope if you have meet or See some 'established' Doctors you will notice the Long Qualification that followed their Names and Mbbs..Dr paul orhii read m.b.b.s,Law, and even Pharmacology,I know of Some Docs who even went ahead to read management courses after m.b.b.s...You con come here dey run Your Mouth.So Nigga,I think You are the one who need to go and get another Jamb Form and apply for Pharmacy ......

Pls, @ all, if a medical student dreams of becoming a nobel laureate in medicine. Is dat dream too big considering d fact dat dr ben carson with all his groudbreaking and breathtaking achievements and records has not won dis pretigious award? Thanks

Hoyeenz: (Physical pharmacy, it has chemistry, micro et al)Pharmaceutical chemistry( basic organic chemistry), pharm. Micro. (Tutorial pharmacy, Hugo n Rusell, theory n practice of clean water), the simplest anatomy ever, physiology (Ganong is ohk), clin. Pharm. Pharmaceutics (pharmaceitiical codex,pharmaceutical calculations), pharmacognosy(Trease and Evans). That all I can remember but I think there is always a tutorial after exam for 200L students. Just pray ASUU end the strike in time n pls, read well o. #Idi-araba

Breezy90: tanks 4 d info I am also movin 2 idiaraba..

Lagusta: Dr lomaxx, Dr. Alutacontinua, there is one very important issue you guys fail to add always...... PRAYER!!!!!!!

you can never make it as a medical student without God on your side, Christian or Muslim.....

I once had a classmate who was so brilliant, he was the overall best student while he was in the polytechnic, he gained admission to study geology, but his passion for medicine drove him wild..... however he was given anatomy..

But that didn't stop him, he crossed over to medicine (Cos of his terribly high GPA )... in the end, he repeated the 2nd year and was withdrawn in the third. Year,,,,,,,,

What's the point? Look at me, I am not as stuffy as lomaxx, but by God's blessings, mercy and favour, I scaled through all the bitter years of medical school.....

peeps, always put God first, never be proud to others, always respect your seniors and lecturers, read well, attend classes and practicals, form group discussions, but PRAY PRAY AND PRAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!

I'll be back, this nurse wants to kiss me....

I was in this shoe once. Reading ahead of pre-clinicals. Now let me pause here to give an observation.

Excelling in Pre-Medical year is much about how well you observe tradition in your school and also about how much you work hard. What do I mean by tradition?

Example, If tradition has it that notes are the rate limiting step for zoology, and you kill yourself with hardwork over some zoology textbook, you are so on your own. If your seniors say note is what is needed, you have no business going outside your notes.

Pre-Meds (especially those just admitted) in your various med schools, do well to have someone in the class just above you - to feed you with updated ways of passing each course well and avoiding pitfalls.

Pre-Clinicals is much about how well you are smart to revolve your time about the volumes of Gross Anatomy, the ambiguity of Embryology , the vagueness of Histology and still have a headway in the intense volumes of mechanisms and processes in Physiology coupled with the dense pathways of biochemistry.

You have to be smart with your time. How much time you invest in a course will determine how smoothly it would go for you.

Some people end up doing so well in Anatomy or Biochemistry (because they are perceived as difficult) while their Physiology is very leaky. [b] You must strike a balance. Zeal may not help too much here. You need to be smart.

For those reading ahead of Pre-Clinicals, I recommend that you avoid Keith Moore (for now). Why? It's too voluminous and you will only end up reading too much stuff. Mostly irrelevant stuff. For your Gross, I endorse Snell's Clinical Anatomy. For histology, I endorse BRS Histology. For Embryology, I endorse BRS Embryology. You can get the BRS Books off the net.

I used Snell's, BRS Histo and BRS Embryo. I never had below a 69% in Anatomy and my Physiology and Biochemistry was perfect. I never even read so zealously.

I had people that used Keith Moore and all other popular books but came close with so much zealous work. What if I was zealous? Food for thought.

For Physiology, I endorse either of Guyton & Hall or Ganong or Fox Physiology. BRS Physiology is good. I used Guyton and BRS Physiology and stood a chance at a distinction viva. Medical school politics stood in my way. It's a long story.

For Biochemistry, I endorse Vazudevan Biochemistry. There's Harpers Illustrated Biochemistry and Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry for lovers of hyper-stuff. My combo was Vazudevan and Kaplan Biochemistry. I used Kaplan more.

Your note would be the most important thing you will need. Make sure you copy well.

Managing information in med school is very important. There are too much information you don't need circulating in standard texts. You must be wise in knowing what you need. This is where a syllabus comes in. I have a standard and comprehensive MBBS Syllabus for Pre-Clinical year gotten from a Med School somewhere in Europe. It's a standard syllabus. It's in .pdf. There's an email address in my profile. If you need it, send me a mail.

Good luck to all pre-meds and pre-clinical folks. Even to aspirants. Bless!!!
