wow ......this thread still dey alive ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() a lot of water has passed under these past 7years since i started this thread. the salary has improved since then but unfortunately, inflation and the general bad economy have wiped off any gains. SRs now go home with 500+ but TODAY,that is equivalent to the 350+ in 2009. (refer to my earlier posts) i didnt get to travel out. i got married and decided to do residency in the country partly because moving with my family was a task i was not willing to undertake( a decision i partly regret not taking). i am currently in a radiology residency in southern nigeria and hopefully going for part 2 next year.i still think about travelling out BUT my pathway in 2016 would be different from my chosen pathway 7 years ago. i will most likely be going for the FRCR(royal college of radiologists)postgraduate exams. this is the least path of resisitance for me AT MY CURRENT LEVEL. the FRCR is in 3 steps and can be completed quite rapidly for a doctor who knows what hes doing.passing steps1 and 2 make you an SR(radiology) in the UK. so my advice for residents IN NIGERIA who still want to leave,survey the option of writing foreign postgraduate professional exams in your current area of specialization. that may be easier. i hear pathology faculty(national postgrad college)has some arrangements with royal college of pathologists were an SR in pathology in nigeria is exempted from writing step 1 of the royal college of paths exam. Im not sure though. For the medical students/fresh graduates, my advice is to decide what you want to do ON TIME. never be caught in one place. Always be on the move. you must have a strategy. make up your mind fast. do you want to leave the country or do you want to stay back. while youre looking to write these foreign exams you must have a job that feeds you and can help you prepare for these exams. ALWAYS REMEMBER..... every decision has its pros and cons....moving to the UK or US does not mean all your problems in life are over. carefully weigh every decision(with prayer o!!). I know our country is F.ucked(pardon the expression....couldnt find something MORE APT) BUT IT IS NOT ALL GLOOM AND DOOM.. i make up to 60% of my salary moonlighting in my current city of residence. i have friends who are SRs in anaesthesiology and are fully booked every weekend in town for surgeries netting about 35grand per surgery.these boys do not do less than 10surgeries in a month. Im not sure a doctor would have this kind of freedom in the US or UK(correct me if im wrong though).My guys(SRs) in O&G net about 50-100grand per month on performing C/Ss for GPs in town. my point?? our country is a useless place but that uselessness has created opportunities for youths to move in and provide solutions to problems. i dont know what the carribean pathway is like these days. when i left school a decade ago, UNN.ABU.UI.IFE AND BENIN graduates were sought after in T&T. graduates of thses schools didnt have to write licensing exams in addition to to the tax free salaries they were to earn.(of course while attempting to nail either PLAB or USMLE). so just survey all your options very well. cheers! ![]() ![]() 16 Likes 1 Share |

@ phantom sir, u av done well creatin d thread, more power to ur elbow. Now, d dilemma of a final year med student: to stay or travel out, still very indecisive atm. My choice of specialty (not made up my mind abt this yet too) I believe will affect my decision anyway. I get fascinated by many specialties wen Im rotatin thru them makin it difficult to select a precise one for now, though I have completely ruled out some. I pray God shld jst guide my decisions. 1 Like |

Waliyllahi:Try and make a decision and fast. Weigh all options. study hard and nail the professional exams(very well o!). competition is high especially in the US where doctors from other countries(particularly those indians wey i no know whether dem carry magnet for head) are also trying to get into the system. I have a friend who smashed the USMLE(chick is very brilliant!Queens college to university of ibadan) and had 3 offers from different centers. She had to choose one. Bottomline is study hard! Also know that certain specialties are difficult to get in the US......as a Nigerian,prepare to settle for internal medicine,family med or paediatrics. I dont know what the UK situation is these days. Make up your mind fast! consultants in Nigeria, employed primarily by the ministry of health(FMCs) start from 600k.Professors,800-1mill Doctors in the University system(employed primarily by the ministry of education),that lecture AND provide clinical services in the teaching hospitals earn a little less than their counterparts who work only in the hospital. In the US you are looking at 150-500 grand PER ANNUM,depending on specialty. Great pay but you must also remember your taxes and malpractice issues. so both options have their pros and cons. Make up your mind! cheers. |

[quote author=rugged7 post=42252155]i'm really sorry to hear about the harsh economic situation for doctors in a country i once loved so dearly. I am deeply annoyed about how medical personnel are treated in that country. Unfortunately i can't see anything improving in the near future. Infact, a couple of medical friends who worked in the oil industry with appreciable pay checks are being disengaged and sacked from oil companies now. That economy is in free fall, and unfortunately your president is playing tic tac toe with the well being of itz citizens. I have a friend in Osun state government employ who had the foresight to exit to UK about when those troubles started . I don't know if the visa methodology has greatly changed of recent. BUT, i don't see a reason why you can't get your father to sponsor you for PLAB or Clinical attachment visas. You lucky say u even get person wey ready to help u. If u see how we rugged am that time eh ![]() ![]() People like us had NOBODY. Like i said, it is extremely difficult for the UKBA to turn down these kinds of request unless there is something gravely wrong. Include your letter from GMC for the exams with the date. Explain that you are going early to be able to acclimatize and prep for the exams As far as i know 3 mnths payslip usually is sufficient, but oyibo dey craze, so it is safer to use 6 months payslip. They won't ask u why ur father is sponsoring u; even if they ask, if u tell them the truth that sun state medical workers are on temporary industrial action; i don't see a problem. They will know anyway because other doctors have probably gone through the same route. I can't comment whether it is standard of Business category so i will refer u to the UKBA website. or call them and ask. ...Scratch that: https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa/overview You can apply for a Standard Visitor visa if you want to visit the UK for business-related activities, eg: you’re a doctor or dentist and are coming to the UK to take a clinical attachment or observer post you want to take the Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board (PLAB) test or sit the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) When u reach...ur fellow Nigerians will betray u. Be circumspect Good luck bros. Never |

I'm a semifinalist medical student(almost a final year student,writing my exams),but I have almost lost all interest in being a doctor.I'll like to ask a few questions - 1.how lucrative is MBA for doctors and can I get to work with hospital administration;if yes,how good is the pay? 2.Is it easy getting a job from other sectors eg banking? 3.I'll have to write the MDCN exam,can I do it after my postgraduate study or there's a time limit for it? 4.If by any chance,I want to go back to practising,how easy will it be?will I've to write the exam again or follow some hard protocols? 5.I'll also like some school recommendations (very good schools) for the MBA (The cheaper,the better),Do I need some work experience like internship/something? Please I'll also like some lucrative courses recommendations that are not clinical apart from the MBA Thank you very much |
