Donpre:

you mean anatomy and physiology students offer biochemistry, anatomy and physiology?.... now that's shockingly weird

Yes! They do! Ai offered all the physiologies" and "biochemistries" and "anatomies" mbbs students offered.

Drdonzeez:
I think this system will culminate to another uproar in medical schools.What do you say of graduates of biochemistry, microbiology et all.Do they have Broad knowledge of Basic medical sciences?preferential treatment to a particular group of bsc holders will be absurb and inconsequential. The current policy should continue.

I concur. You're right.

In the same limited amount of time they had to do it too? With the pressure of incourse all round calendar etc?

I was speaking with a doc recently that I have the passion to study medicine, and he was like I should go find another job that he sef planning to port. Abeg is it the the passion has died or med is just screwed up in naija.? Docs please

Drdonzeez:
What will say of those interested in Dentistry?so,you mean preclinical dental sciences could be waved.uniformity should be embraced.No shortcut to success

so on point dude... NUC didn't consider a lot of things before azzpulling the stup!d curriculum, thank God MDCN wasn't so daft

Mr. Mill. There are different ideas around it. At times it is from the frustration in Naija but even at that if life is purposed for it, the frustration won't lead to opting for a quit for people with very strong perspective of life or character and for the frail ones, it does pressure to file a quit but the question is : are you called? like are you meant for it? you see, what is not meant to be won't be. so many get into the path because of the glories and hypes they've been fed with while growing up or the drive to be among the spotlight–reigning ones! With all these and many more intentions many venture into this path and some may even quit along the way but the others enduringly continue.. . . . after so many years, now they've become it and have been established in the path. One day, they just wake up to the discovery that it's not working out; it's not what they expected; it's not this. it's not that. So many years and resources have gone oo...
You see, there's a purpose and there should be an intention for the purpose. That purpose though we have passions in very different measures cannot be realized without replicating the intention in the soul and the soul walking with it!
So many of us are for this purpose but we have the wrong intentions at mind and we'll one day be like that brother whom Sir Millex met and it'd be very devastating and despairing. we need to gather up ourselves with the right intention and run with it. I know the purpose should be or near being fulfilled as a person in what you do first, all other is secondary. if you're fulfilled or looking for it, you won't complain at some things easily when others do because your drive is deeper than those things that would affect others. only death can cut you off or stop you from staying there or running after it!
One of the ways you know it's your place is the happiness and joy you find in going after it with the fact that you're fulfilled in it! you can't imagine something else for life. prospects: the compassion and love for patients. That empathy to have a touch that quenches throbs of pain in your patients, the fulfillment of being a source of hope to them and being trusted by them!! it goes on and on..!! you know you are on the right path by these! you could also be meant for it and not have passions in line with these things listed above. your aptness to or adapting to the new drive also shows it.
I pray we don't be like that brother but even if it gets to the point, we won't throw it all to the winds and be lost! Amen.

Bro but in Nigeria do we still do anything according to purpose? A few of my coursemates back in Uni currently work in banks etc and these guys were really good in Mcb with the dreams doing great things. I feel the dream is gradually dying, minus even med now, this country is bad for dreams... its where dreams come to die. It's really sad, well I won't be deterred, still chasing my purpose and dreams with hopes that it does turn to dust along the way. What do I know tho I am still at the starting phase.

Boss Labodinho! Sir, How area na? happy Sunday! Abeg!! show never show today? @Senior Boss' article @Diary of a House Boy Sit!

Hmmmm... that's the qualms we're really faced with down this location of the earth. but it doesn't stop us, it shouldn't stop us or should it? No! not if we're determined. it settles what we settle for as only left or fated choice!
This whole boils to how we let circumstances affect us or access us and the decisions we make from thereafter!
I have determined myself not to be stopped or given reason to, by this place called Nigeria!!
like you did Mill. that's the way Bro. nothing more attached!

in Unical, the mbbch students don't do all round calendar in their first three years. They are like every other undergraduate until when the pass their MB. So yes, in same limited amount of time.

pls I need an honest person to answer
is MBBS as hard as people paint it?

I'm a med aspirant for Unilag I wanna know if studying physiology as a course is a waste of time? or?

jemmiee:

I think unical have a very disrupted curriculum, seriously very very disrupted

just curious anyway, since you offered all the courses med students did, can you in all sincerity say that you'd pass the MB exam if ask to write one now?

it feels like answering this could discourage or encourage your aspiration for medicine... well I hope that's not the case


In my opinion, Medicine isn't easy, [i didn't say it is hard] it takes a lot to become a doctor and unless you're willing to give that lot, then you'd probably not gonna be a doctor, because it takes an even greater lot to stay a doctor.

spotlessduke:

my stomach purges when people come up this type of question.The taste of pudding is in the eating they say.have you bothered to know if those that studied physiology are doing well or not?or you draw conclusion based on 'hear say'.If its medicine you want,go for it.No shortcut to fulfillment in life my dear and physiology is no waste of time If you have zeal for it.

spotlessduke:

Mbbs is hard as well as every other course, but human beings have been doing it so it's doable, you just have to be willing to put in work to ride through. Nothing in life is easy.

spotlessduke:

Do you want to study med or physio? Make up your mind so you know how to set your goals. physiology ain't a waste of time, Nigeria just makes it so, so it's up to you to be blown with the wind or make something out of it.

I started following this thread since 2013 after my grad. I thought nigeria will be a theatre of dreams as I hoped. But after writing jamb 4 times and couldn't get medicine my hope stated fading. Although right now I've been sponsored to a flying school abroad. I like aviation but its passion is not as strong as d 1 I have or should I say "had" for medicine. I'm still thinking, I'm leaving d country soon and I wrote jamb 2016 applied for mbbs. What if this year is my chance. I just hope been a pilot will be d best for me.

Wel, they aren't among the top universities anyway so what do you expect? An anatomy student doing biochem? That's quite messed up though, then what's the difference there?!

jemmiee:
Yes! They do! Ai offered all the physiologies" and "biochemistries" and "anatomies" mbbs students offered.

That means unical's med school's syllabus get k-leg. Yes, basic med sciences do offer the same courses as those in MBBS, but the mode of lectures has to be different. And the syllabus too.

If you really have the passion to do med, by all means, finish flying school be a pilot, go to medschool (abroad maybe) and be a flying doctor, maybe you would be the one to do some good in the world, like an air ambulance of some sorts, medicair kinda thing or doctors with wings kinda thing. It's all about what you want and how far you are willing to go.

Mickael2:

Well I don't know much about how medicine works but I think all are connected, the anatomy, biochemistry and physiology of the body. So for an anatomist to take some biochemistry and physiology and likewise doesn't sound too absurd to me.

Dbrainiac1:

Can't really say tho, there's nothing to lose if basic med offers same courses exactly as medstudent. I just am yet to understand how they would run it considering the time constraints of doing basic med as a medical student.

Millex:

physiology taking some anatomy courses is the right thing, but anatomy taking physiology courses? That's extremely odd. As for biochemistry that is another story. Well to each his own. I've never heard of this before tho. Guess we do learn new things everyday.

if an Anatomist offers physiology too, I can't complain much, I might just call it medical diversity but an Anatomist going for biochem too? I don't know again o, but this is the first time sha
