Lagusta:Can you answer the question I posted above ? |
Re: How Tough Is Medicine And Surgery As A Course? by Ebullient07: 3:26pm On Feb 16, 2016 |
Lagusta: Well, I dnt know abt odas skuls but in OAU, an F in pharmacy means u'll av a resit. But if after d resit d student fails,then dat's a repeat. PS: I'm not a student of pharmacy. |

iWillSackDatMod:I've lived with pharmacy students and one graduated with a first class so I know a lot about the structure of your courses. see in medicine every course is like a degree programme. what I mean is we finish the whole physiology , anatomy etc textbooks from front page to back page within a stipulated time, normally 18 months. and that's the same workload people in department of physiology biochemistry cover over 4 years and we're expected to know it better than them, but in pharmacy your course is barely a 100 page material and different lectures take each course and set tests on their part further reducing the number of pages to be read per test. we read text books for exams and you read materials for exams. there's a whole difference, if you doubt any of these do your research. 5 Likes |

Drdonzeez:Yes but they use CGPA to check the level of success. it may not be on pen but its well acknowledged on the day of induction as first class students are called forth and awarded. I made mention of that to make you understand I've been with the most studious of them all and understand what pharmacy entails. 2 Likes |

Re: How Tough Is Medicine And Surgery As A Course? by INTERMAN: 9:15pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
NiRfreak:. An academic session is always 9 months. Meaning a six session course like medicine shld last for just 5 years but the strike cld increase it to 6 years and not to 8 yrs as u av exagerrrated |

Re: How Tough Is Medicine And Surgery As A Course? by Nobody: 9:55pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
Dbrainiac1: If that's true, do you need anyone to tell you that, that was caused by strike? Remember, there are two major strikes that affect Nigerian universities- ASUU and internecine strikes. Hope you understand? |
Re: How Tough Is Medicine And Surgery As A Course? by INTERMAN: 10:37pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
Dbrainiac1:don't u know their is insurgency in Maiduguri. BTW don't coount housemanship with it. Is therw y u are scared of going for medicine. Ok sit down their and be exaggerating. |

Hmmmm...#my heart is really pounding hard# Am a pre-degree student in Uniport aspring to study med and surg. Seriously sirs/madam, with due respect, you guys are making me scared already.....Is medicine thaat tough nd "rugged" I love the course with passion..but the waay you (doctors and Pharm students) are talking abt it, am really thinking hard. Pls how do I meet up to the standards for the course? |
Re: How Tough Is Medicine And Surgery As A Course? by yokolistic(m): 11:17pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
Minainyo:You don't have to panic...just relax. The thing is your determination should be your foremost advisor. Tell me can you do cooking all of a sudden without being tutored and grounded in it? Except it's gift ...you won't receive exams without lectures, your exams won't go beyond what you're expected to know. just be sure to note that inside you is something greater than an obstacle...that's what you should work on.

INTERMAN:I know. Insurgency caused em a year at home, strike 1-2 Lwkmd. Scared keh? I'm a 200 level dental student in Unimaid. And the duration here is more than that of medicine. So what are you saying. I was just trying to relate what you said with the situation here. Yuck. That was not an exaggeration but pure fact, they spent almost 3 years at home due to strike/insurgency. #ban son reni |

Minainyo:Don't mind Yokolistic,they'll ask you about things you aren't expected to know in your exams(it's called examiner's questions-I faced them). Just joking On a more serious note,like he said,its just like cooking,well more like a cooking competition. You have to believe in God and then yourself to see you through. The most important thing is to take it,one step at a time. |

Elliotwiz1:Same you guys will come here and shout that you guys write an exam every month. Do you know that it is equivalent to writing a C.A on every lecturer's part at different times or same time as d case may be? My bro, have you ever heard any pharmacist who ended up a physician/surgeon say pharmacy is easier than medicine? Well, no course is easier and u can never judge the nature of a course by the fact that your room mate graduated with distinction because I know of a guy here who parties a lot and has been d best in his class in not less dan 2 courses. It just been smart and God. |

Samgreguc:from your post its obvious you have little or no knowledge about the structure of medical school, hence making it difficult to convince you. yawns. |

Pls guys, Ao long does it takes to become a qualified medical doctor? |
Re: How Tough Is Medicine And Surgery As A Course? by Nobody: 11:32am On Feb 20, 2016 |
To put an end to this debacle what is the criteria for "hardness" of the course? Also keep in mind that hardness is a subjective and is just relative |
