To achieve this, you need to scrap B.Sc. Anatomy, B.Sc. Medical Biochemistry, B.Sc. Physiology, B.Sc. Pharmacology and other Basic Medical Sciences aside Nursing at the undergraduate levels. They have become useless courses with no clear direction as to what graduates in those fields are trained to do in the current day Nigeria. Whoever is considering the above courses with the hope of pursuing a career in the medical field should better have a rethink. An OND in Computer Science is way better. More than 85% of graduates in those fields are now Marketers and Sales Rep with half baked Indian pharmaceutical companies. The entire Basic Medical Courses should be phased out and reinvented to: Pharmaceutics and Medical Sales. Nigeria don't have a job for you in the medical field, the few ones you have, you won't progress even if you're willing to lick the a$$es of egocentric people. Even your Ph.D won't help you. To a typical Nigerian Doctor, an MBBS is greater than a Ph.D. Ph.D holders without MBBS in basic medical colleges in Nigeria are some of the most frustrated people in the country. These are basic facts o 19 Likes |

This is actually dumb. There are other areas of specialty that medical students need to be very familiar with that can be taught by experts in that field. These people want to kukuma destroy the little integrity left for Nigerian medical doctors. As of now they rate low in my humble opinion. 1 Like |

It has its pros and cons depending on the angle you take it from. It'll stop victimization of these students by lecturers taking the affected courses. Teaching would be practical based. Though a nursing student, I can remember when Dr Abdul Malik took me anatomy in year two. Her teachings were clinically based and I could relate when I got to the wards for postings. But this development would really being about shortage of man power and rapid exhaustion of those we have already. 3 Likes |

Re: Lecturers Who Are Not Doctors ‘should No Longer’ Teach Medical Students by OLUOMOMOORY: 7:57am On Aug 22, 2018 |
MartinCorridon:Mr Enaibe teaches very well then perhaps due to his experience and inbuit quality however the only thing Mr Adebayo always said was "I love structures" forcing us to cram all irrevant pathways with no clinical application, in physiology I am sure we all admire prof Soladoye and medics like Dr Fawibe, Olokoba who were coming from clinical side then, that was between 2002/2004 preclinicals. Getting to clinicals you can differentiate between Dr. Ighodalo and others. I am sure this will help alot and reduce the failure rate though it is worth saying that there were many Medics who are bad teacher 1 Like |

Jaideyone:it is not just about being a professir ir PhD knowledge. It is about clinical knowledge. we are talking about teaching what will be relevant to clinical practice. It has been found that out most clinical students have poor knowledge of basic med sciences that are relevant to clinical practice during rotations. medical students need to be taught what is relevant so as to produce better physicians. It is people like you that complain of 'bad' doctors but absolve themselves of any blame. anatomy,physiology,biochemistry ,pharmacology and pathology are foundations of medical practice. lecturers in those areas must have clinical experience to teach what is relevant. for example, medical students do not need to be loaded with information in comparative or evolutionary anatomy, students of vet medicine may benefit from that. but I still believe that PhD holders without medical degree will still be teaching courses like genetics, molecular biology and technical aspects of embryology. my advice is that if you desire to teach medical students,do your PhD in those areas I mention. Thank you. |

Acidosis:you are ignorance personified if you can conclude all those courses are useless if those courses should be scrapped based on your foolish assertions then what are we still doing with courses like marine science, biology, physics, fishery, mass com, sociology, psychology, etc since most of them are now bank marketers. before you call me a frustrated graduate of pharmacology let me tell you a little about myself. with my BSc pharmacology before I even did my masters in public health I've worked with a NGO under global fund malaria programme before it was scrapped. I've also been in the pharmaceutical industry for 3yrs. you don't say what you don't know. Indian companies account for less than 10% of the Pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria. a good 60-70% of Pharmaceutical companies are indigenous and some of these indigenous companies are even doing much better than the multinationals in the country. I've worked with an Indian company before with a new vehicle and fuel allowance of 60k/month aside salary and profit on trade. I'm currently with an indigenous company and our anti malaria is the number one in the country today (that's a big clue to the name of the company)!!! some multinationals are not even doing what we do yearly. we do over 20b in sales yearly in medications, cosmetics and toiletries. what I get as salary and commission on sales quarterly coupled with the company car and float allowance is more than what some doctors get in a whole year!!! just because you read medicine doesn't mean other courses that you see as less lucrative should be scrapped. you don't just jump into conclusion foolishly about 85% of some people working for Indian companies when you know next to nothing about the industry. I have doctor friends that are still struggling to do residency. I have doctor friends that are just managing in one small clinic and earning 50k. does that mean medicine should be scrapped? 7 Likes |
