hey, well med school here is mainly fashioned lyk in the UK. The duration is averagely 6 years.

First year is in the Faculty of Science where basic science courses such as Biology, Physics and Chemistry.

Second and 3rd year is sppent in the Faculty of Basic Medical Science where Anatomy, Physiology and biochemistry are offered.

The remaining 3 years are spent in the Teaching Hospital where more of clinicals are taught: Surgery, Pathology, Pediatric, Obs and Gyn, etc...

Usually, and it may vary wit schools, 4 important exams are wriitten and are commonly reffered to as MB exams. One at the end of preclinicals (anatomy, physio and BCH); anoda after the 4th year (pathology and pharmacology); and the last 2 after the 5thh and 6th years.

I hope thats helpful? M sure other people will hard wateva I might have left out.

Hi, thank you very much for your reply.

Hi all, I'm a medical student based in the UK and I was wondering what medical school is like in naij. I know it may differ slightly from university to university, but what is the general structure?
How many years is the course?
What are the major exams for each year?
How soon do you start learning in the hospitals rather than in lectures?
What kind of exrta-curricular activities are available for students to participate in?

I'd really appreciate your opinions and experiences.
