Should I Go For Radiography, Medical Lab Science Or Biochemistry? by Dabyes(f): 9:09pm On Nov 04, 2020 |
Please guys, I need help to decide which course to choose. Can someone someone help me with the employment status of these courses in Nigeria? |

I know the three courses are not directly involved in patient care, they don't make critical decisions for patients and are not known by patients. Radiography uses cutting edge technologies to get defined pictures of the body which is referred to the Radiologist for diagnosis. You are not Licenced to diagnose patient except with a masters in Diagnostic Radiography. Medical Laboratory Scientist work in the pathology labs under a Pathologist to run test. They are no Licenced to interprete results. You will do alot of test on faeces,sputum,semen,blood and drugs. Biochemistry I don't really know. If you don't want serious patient Interaction and you want to mind your business do Medical Lab. If you want to use modern technologies to get pin point photographs of inyernal body do Radiography. |

NobleSeed:Boss Why do u suggest radiography. Also in the same situation but my Spirit is telling me to Choose Radiography and leave med lab |

I would suggest you go for medical laboratory if you are to stay in Nigeria and wants to be independent, you may face big competition from ML Technicians if you are looking for jobs. Radiography is Good but it constantly exposes you to radiation which I is not good for your health also it costs more to set up. Biochemistry is good also if you are enthusiastic about life science in general but in terms of giving you money in Nigeria the opportunities are few or else you want to be a lecturer. The truth is that there is no safe-land in all these keep making your enquiries and go with anyone you feel is more interesting to you |

SmileDance: ![]() ![]() ![]() OP listen to this advice. Biochemistry sweet for mouth and ear but to get the job na war. I think MLS or Radiography will give you upper hand in the labor market. I sincerely believe passion should not be the only reason to study a course, the most important factor that should decide that should be employment rate and salary for the course. That means, even if you don't like course A but you know there are job and good salary for the course when you graduate, STUDY IT! 4 Likes |

Radiography all the way!! Reasons Besides Nursing and Radiography, no other medical discipline secures you a sure pathway to an international job with just your local certificate. If going abroad is not your thing, unlike MLS and Biochemistry (this one is actually useless. Many graduates are now makeup artist and insurance agents) there are ready jobs for you here in Nigeria starting right from your internship. Finally, the industry is not saturated and your opportunity for growth and exploration is infinite. P.S: Radiographers are hot cakes right now across the world. Whether you are a medical radiographer or industrial radiographer, na you go decide how your life go be. Avoid Microbiology, Biochemistry and all those worthless courses... You would be better learning carpentry than studying them 4 Likes |

iboboyswag:Don't deceive yourself please ehn. In Both courses you are limited both home and abroad you end up being a Laboratory Manager and Radiography Manager and that is how good as it gets. It is only in the UK you might get into easily, in the USA forget it you will go back to school. Mind you apart from ultrasound, MRI and CT scan which are don't have the adequate contemporary machines. But how many do these except those who might be working in big teaching hospitals or big private hospitals. Pata Pata you will specialise Ultrasonography, MRI etc. The two courses are rewarding but very boring. If you feel in the end you would have qualms with serving under somebody then find your square root. It is only in Nigeria everybody want to be a boss of everything including MLS and Radiographers which are Lab Scientist and Image technologists Respectively ![]() ![]() OP if patient care is what you want go for Physiotherapy/Medical Rehabilitation, Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Vet med, Dentistry, Orthopaedic Technology, optometry. If you don't mind seeing people then Radiography and MLS is okay |

Zeeknow3245: Let me humor you. Go back and read what you wrote up there and see if it made sense to you. The OP asked a question, rather than answer from your seemingly wealth of knowledge, you chose instead to make absolutely no sense. Speaking of things that weren't asked and even worse, in the most incoherent manner. Your inability to understand basic rules of writing (grammar, proper use of punctuation and paragraphs) left me and I believe everyone else confused as to the message you are trying to pass across. Mention me when you have corrected your errors and made some sense. 2 Likes |
