hey, well med school here is mainly fashioned lyk in the UK. The duration is averagely 6 years.

First year is in the Faculty of Science where basic science courses such as Biology, Physics and Chemistry.

Second and 3rd year is sppent in the Faculty of Basic Medical Science where Anatomy, Physiology and biochemistry are offered.

The remaining 3 years are spent in the Teaching Hospital where more of clinicals are taught: Surgery, Pathology, Pediatric, Obs and Gyn, etc...

Usually, and it may vary wit schools, 4 important exams are wriitten and are commonly reffered to as MB exams. One at the end of preclinicals (anatomy, physio and BCH); anoda after the 4th year (pathology and pharmacology); and the last 2 after the 5thh and 6th years.

I hope thats helpful? M sure other people will hard wateva I might have left out.

The news was a pleasant one. It came as
a surprise, more of a pleasant shhock!!!
The bearer of this piece of news came
prepared, knowing him as an astute
intellectual. He timing was perfect and
precise; since he delivered his lecture
at a time and place that everybody
considers appropriate. Enough of this
description, don’t you agree?
Professor Joshua Ogbonnaya, Renowned
surgeon and currently the Provost,
College of Medicine and Surgery,
University of Uyo, was the
bearer of the good news. It was at the
medical induction ceremony of students
in the College of Medicine And Surgery
Madonna University, Elele Rivers State.
The medical induction happened on the
20th, October 2015. Recall that Prof
Ogbonnaya was at a time the Dean,
Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences,
Madonna University.
He announced that from March 2016,
there would be major changes to the
curriculum and activities with respect
to the award of MBBS in all medical
schools in Nigeria. He stressed that this
was the latest development coming
from the National Universities
Commission (NUC) and the Medical and
Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).
Most Nigerian universities offering
Medicine and surgery, as an
undergraduate course, peg the course
duration between 6 – 9 years. However
this is to be made uniform.
The 3 major changes expected to be in
effect from next year are;
1. The era of moving directly from
secondary school into medical
school will be a thing of the past,
because from next year, it becomes
compulsory for students to first
acquire a Bachelors degree from any
Basic Medical course, Bsc Anatomy
or Bsc Physiology, for 4 years.
2. After which you can proceed to a
College of Medicine for a 3-year
clinical exposure, before the award
of the MBBS degree. This would add
up to be 7 years of training, with
the result that candidates graduates
with two degrees added to their
portfolio.
3. This privilege have also been
extended to other para-medical/
health science courses, like Nursing
Science, Optometry, Public Health,
Medical Laboratory Science and
others. Rather than staying 3 years
as described in the 2nd point, these
groups of persons will stay 4 years,
for clinical exposure, before they
would be awarded of the MBBS
degree.
Prof Joshua Ogbonnaya also stressed
that this development is coming at this
time considering that the Doctor-to-
patient ratio, in Nigeria, is still a far cry
from the standard, as prescribed by
UNESCO.

Is there going to be a screening exercise after the b.sc programs?This policy may not come to reality because jamb should have removed MBBS on its site,hence, preventing candidates from picking it.

Not to belittle ur opinion, buh I tink it does mk sense. Having an experience b4 med school can only but be of help. Most pple go into med school, not avin an idea how to survive in a univeristy, lest a medical skul. This policy is used in the US and its allowing them produce more mature med practitioners. I might be biased tho (I passed through that route) but it has only been beneficial. Thank u

You're biased in my opinion. I've noticed that utme candidates have a smoother medical school journey than those that have had a first degree. It doesn't mean they are immune from issues. First degree students usually feel they've seen it all. Believe me, that mentality is counterproductive. it's the same mentality repeat students have when repeating a class- seeing it all. And that's why they keep having issues.

Medical school training is enough to instill the foundation of maturity. It's not just about passing exams. Those that know, know.

Happy Sunday

u this guy why do you like disturbing yourself and you call yourself an intellect.
I was a former oau student and oau students are known to be intellects when it come to arguing subject matters.
You should have reasoned that the mistake in my earlier post as regard the list was due to typo error in that of ebonyi state University.
You should have reasoned that out and call my attention to it.
And not shouting that it was a lie.
It was your lies that prompted me to post the list , imagine somebody saying that medicine in uniport, Niger Delta university, and some university in South South and southeast are not fully accredited.
I was wondering when you became MDCN.
Continue deceiving people.
As regard Lomax I thought he was in his finals because of the way he responds to questions and inquiries.
He was answering questions that even final year med students can not answer.
That shows his level of maturity and in depth knowledge about the field of Medicine.
So my advice for you is that you should think five times before commenting on any post or articles.

Vcojuro:

Dr Lomax shows an high level of intelligence and maturity.
Nice observation doc.

The average time to finish medical school in Nigeria from year 1 is 7 years. (ASUU, NMA, ARD, JOHESU strike inclusive)

Housemanship is compulsory to be eligible for the MBBS degree. In other words, you cannot have MBBS without housemanship. Totals - 8 it 9 years, depending on how fast you get a place to do housemanship.



You will go for youth service to be eligible for permanent registration.

Total - 9 or 10 years.


Let's now add 5 years (ASUU strike inclusive)of undergraduate education in Anatomy/Biochemistry/Physiology/Microbiology etc


We're not ready for such policies.

I for don finish school since May, now it's next year. Because we don't have an educational system that works. It doesn't breed maturity. You'll end up having frustrated doctors that have been wearied by unecessary length of training.

Vcojuro:
can't u reason that out.
So am I to think for you.
Bring out the earlier list and juxtapose it with the later list. So you are trying to tell me that nobody can commit typo error right?.
God gave us a larger cerebrum in our brain to enable us to think.
So use it wisely.
Check out all the schools and quota in the former and latter list.
U will see they are virtually correct except for the minor mistake that was because I was typing hurriedly.
I get my facts correct quote me any where.
And mind you I am not those that will wake one morning and will start shouting that uniuyo and uniport are not accredited for medicine.
Try learning from doc Lomax. Doc lomax is a med student in uniuyo, and u will think he is a student of ui or unilag medicine.
I learnt something from him it is not about, the school one attend but one's mentality toward success.
