ARCHEMEDESME: Honestly the only lamlad book I trust is chemistry. Maybe because I was lucky enough to have been taught by one of the authors. I recommend you use it in addition to other physics text like new school. |

horpeyemmi66:it's because a lot of dentists had the intention to study medicine but couldn't get it. So, they continued with dentistry with the hope of going back to study medicine. Therefore, it's not like they set out ab initio to acquire dual degrees. Difficulty in gaining admission into medicine caused it. Secondly, no knowledge is a waste. They'll definitely apply the knowledge got from both disciplines in patients' treatments as one dual degree oral and maxillofacial surgeon once said. Thirdly, some medical doctors love the branch of dentistry called oral and maxillofacial surgery. So, they have to qualify first as dentists before doing residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Finally, a dual degree holder is preferred by patients. They believe that he has a greater knowledge of their ailments, having got a well grounded knowledge of both medicine and Dentistry. For example, Prof. Chima Oji, a dual degree oral and maxillofacial surgeon believes that oral and maxillofacial surgeons in Nigeria need to have a medical degree after graduating as dentists, that it makes oral and maxillofacial surgeons more competent. He first studied medicine before going back to study dentistry and thereafter specialized in oral and maxillofacial surgery. On the contrary, the late Prof. Alagumba Nwoku first studied dentistry before going back to study medicine and thereafter specialized in oral and maxillofacial surgery. There's also a call that consultants in oral medicine ( a branch of dentistry) should also have a medical degree, since that branch of dentistry is purely medical in practice. This is to make them more competent. And that's how it's done in Britain. However, oral pathology ( a branch of dentistry) is purely medical, but there's no need for a medical degree since the months or years the residents rotate through general pathology can cover that deficiency. 3 Likes |

Ldama: what of northern State uni? |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by ejehijustice(m): 8:54am On Dec 05, 2019 |
SlaveofAllaah:We from the south, we have a wrong perception of Northern tertiary institution... It is very difficult for a southerner to be offered admission in a northern University especially for professional courses except by merit. By merit I mean being the highest from his state. Due to catchment area policy of admission in Nigeria, no southern state is in the northern state catchment area and vice versa. So a person with 262 from Jigawa may be admitted to ABU yet a person with 305 from OYO may be denied admission. Northern Universities are not easy to get as a southerner except you are a very high flyer. As per 2nd choice school, hardly a federal University accept 2nd choice, Uniport, EBSU, ESUT and some other state schools allow second choice to sit for their post UTME but must change to first choice to be offered admission. EBSU don't do post UTME, and state schools are expensive. My advise, focus on your first choice. State universities are less competitive and easier to get compared to federal universities but are more expensive. If you have the finance go for state University like EBSU, no post UTME, and with a little above 250 you can get MBBS or choose a federal institution in your catchment area with a little above 290 average of both UTME and Post UTME you are in. If you chose to go outside your catchment area... To be on a safer side, gun for an average of 320. 3 Likes |

Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by ejehijustice(m): 3:37pm On Dec 05, 2019 |
Donpre:I don't know of other years but in 2019, uniport allowed second choice to sit for post utme but said they must change to first choice to be considered for admission, I don't know if they will follow same patter next year.

ejehijustice:It is only if u had tried Northern Universities that u would know that it's not easy to get admission there especially that of MBBS. The hardest is the Bayero University Kano medical school. If u are not from Kano state or the sister state, forget it. If u are an Igbo, u must be a genus ...probably the best for u to get admission into MBBS in BUK. It is easier to get MBBS in southern universities than the core Northern universities. 1 Like |

OloladeWrites: True. This year, they screened their DE applicants. I gathered the questions were mostly English Language, some sciences and general knowledge. UniAbuja is a very good choice but it's competitive. Applicants should prepare their minds for a very stiff competition. Cc: Success410. 1 Like |

Masionreay:My brother you are not far from the truth, so many misconception from our southern brothers... I am a southerner but I live in Zaria, Kaduna State... I know what I am saying... ABU and BUK are extremely difficult for southerners, except you are a very high-flyer. They admit just one per state, that is usually the highest person. MBBS admission is competitive everywhere, the competition reduces in your catchment area, followed by state universities. If to say money dey private University na him person for go.
