capitalzero: I don't see how this will work honestly. When you get to clinical stage of medicine, you tend to forget the basic sciences excerpt where they relate to the patient at hand, and in most cases you may want to look up the references from the books. Those aspects that are remote to daily practice are easily forgotten, for example which clinician remembers the anatomy of hemi-azygous vein? That's where the exparfs come in. I am a practicing doctor but we need solid foundation for the upcoming ones please! 1 Like |

capitalzero:good the graduates of those courses should be entitled to get a PhD and teach their own courses. doctors in Nigeria should stop acting like cry babies and making excuses for their failure. clinical application of those courses are well covered for in the later part of the MBBS programme (yr4-6). if doctors want this implemented then doctors should create special departments or units for these courses to take MBBS students alone and let biochemists, pharmacologists, anatomists take the bsc programs of their courses. case settled 1 Like |

maduxs: I have interacted with anatomy/physiology/biochemistry students and graduates I conclude that most do not know prospects in their disciplines. those courses are not limited to medicine alone. They are broad disciplines with application in vet medicine, animal health, fishery, botany , pharmaceutical, research in medicine etc and other allies health courses. They need to change their orientation. |

Only in Nigeria! This guys are one of the groups responsible for the high rate of employment among basic medical sciences course graduates. In nigeria the heart of men are wicked, they just like to kill and destroy, they cannot think of building. Very very extremely selfish and insensitive. Medical laboratory scientists, pharmacists and medical doctors (especially) oya kukuma go and ask National University commission (NUC) to scrap/stop all basic medical sciences courses since that's what is in your hearts, Wicked lots. Kai some people here are already calling them useless. Naija! and the equally insensitive leaders do not care either. |

capitalzero:In one's year two in medical school, anatomy professors and lecturers teach anatomy and clinical significance; physiology lecturers and professors and lecturers teach physiology and the same with biochemistry. I don't think this is inappropriate. |

ehissi:they are just over pampered babies that want everything to themselves!!! when a lot of them read medicine with the hope of getting out of poverty with it and they can't even get space to do residency their dreams come crashing down. then you see them in small clinics earning 50k now they are stylishly trying to displace those that specialised in their own field to the highest level (PhD) with that clinical foolish talk. very soon they will ask doctors to start taking mathematics at secondary school level so future doctors can understand the clinical application of mathematics awon werey 7 Likes 2 Shares

Jaideyone: PhD in anatomy etc will be relevant. for example, in anatomy department, courses will be assigned to lecturers based on professional background while those with medical degree teach medical students others teach students in basic medical sciences like physiology, biochemistry, mls,nursing,radiography etc based on their areas of expertise. Even with that those with PhDs in molecular biology, genetics,nanotechnology will be teaching all students including medical students because those areas very technical. 1 Like |

Abatemtem:they are just greedy!!! don't fall for their narrative!!! medicine students do lots of clinical postings during which consultants show them the clinical application of these courses. btw which clinical application of physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology do they want that people in those fields can't show them in laboratories? these doctors just want more opportunities for themselves!!! greedy lots 2 Likes |

divinelove: most schools do not used that nomenclature. In physiology, It is either medical biochemistry or applied bio or bio etc. If it is human anatomy, why is that they used rats for most of their studies? |

You see what i have been saying Nigerian medical doctors have totally lost it! So, by this, a great majority of them will now proceed to get an MSc and PhD in the basic medical sciences so they could start teaching anatomy, physiology and biochemistry to medical students while leaving behind other lofty medical specialties. For your information, minimum requirement for lecturing is a PhD so don't even think that NUC will allow you replace PhD with MBBS because no where in the world is an MBBS equal to a PhD. So, you guys should get ready to spend years of academic research to earn a PhD. And for the guy alluding that medical doctors know pharmacology more than pharmacists, let me inform you that every action of a drug resides in its chemical structure and studying the chemical structures of drugs is within the domains of pharmaceutical chemistry which pharmacists study for 4-5 years. Modifying the structures of these drugs through various means ( including factors within and outside the human system) changes the actions of the drugs. So, tell me how a med doctor who has no knowledge of drug chemistry would know the effects of the drug better than a pharmacist. That you are allowed to prescribe drugs is an anomaly which has resulted to so many deaths. That is why the pharmacist must be there in the hospitals not only to ethically dispense the drugs but to also screen your prescriptions to pinpoint prescription errors. My friends, you can never know it all! Do your parts and let others do theirs. 9 Likes |

capitalzero:ignorance so because you interacted with a few out of the hundreds of thousands of graduates of such courses in a country where opportunities are highly limited for those courses to flourish you concluded they don't know the prospects? most of the ground-breaking inventions in medicine are not even by medical doctors. they've been mostly by pharmacists, biochemist and microbiologists. these are the people that spend billions of dollars in drug research while the doctors just sit back waiting for the results of such research to make their life easier. 5 Likes |

Jaideyone: Lol, I didn't study medicine in school so I'm not speaking based on sentiments. As far as I'm concerned, there is no correlation between your undergraduate study and what you do. Just so you know, I took pharmacology courses for 3 years and in fact, many of my lecturers had MBBS, so I am talking based on my experience on the politics and stereotypical culture of a typical basic medical college in Nigeria. By the way, my comment is largely directed at those seeking to pursue a career in the medical field, which is largely the aim of majority who find themselves in the basic medical college. What's the point of studying Anatomy and Pharmacology when at the end of the day, the only job available to you is medical sales rep? Need I remind you the meaning and definition of pharmacology? So those lab rats you acquired for your projects are meant to market and supply drugs? By the way, I have no business with people's salaries, but I do have issues with repeating outdated courses and courses with no clear cut career opportunities in the current day Nigeria. This is why I suggested new generational courses such as Medical Sales, etc. Are you not worried that universities continue to admit B.Sc. Physiology, etc students only to face the stereotypical and oppressive culture of a typical health institution? Do you know the number of M.Sc. Anatomy, M.Sc. Physiology wasting away in Nigeria today? You know why? Doctors won't allow them lecture so why are they wasting their time? That being said, I'm not saying there are no exemptions, a lot of people like you did switched to Public Health. That again is an issue though as some organizations now give special preference to MBBS/Public Health. Even admission into Public Health these days favour MBBS. These are basic facts bro, we must face basic facts to effect a lasting change. 3 Likes |
