Saving someone’s life is perhaps one of the most remarkable feelings in the world. Even so, not so many of us have the chance to experience this. It takes passion, a strong personality and years of study to be able to work in the medical field.
Pursuing a Medical degree is not only challenging and demanding but also competitive. Medical degrees are shaped for people who show high motivation and commitment as well as interest for sciences.
Throughout a Medicine degree, candidates are equipped with a wide range of competences, from practical abilities required for specialized hands-on tasks to communication skills needed to interact with the patients. Thus, any medical students will be able to take a simple blood sample as well as perform a complex surgical procedure.
Undoubtedly, medicine is one of the most vital fields of work – therefore there will always be a high demand of workforce needed. The employment rate for a medical graduate student is of 90%.
Due to its diverse branches, graduates from a Medical course have a variety of career choices, according to their expertise. Nursing, radiology, anaesthetics are just some of the many specialities offered in this field. Regardless of the speciality, the most important aspect needed to be taken into consideration is that medical professionals are well-respected and well-paid all over the world.
Additionally, graduates possess a series of transferable skills, such as logical reasoning, critical appraisal, listening, written and oral communication and many others. These assets are sought and highly valuable in most fields of work.
Medical courses are usually a six-year commitment, but it can vary according to the university. Most of the modern universities integrate clinical education with basic sciences from the beginning of the academic curriculum, while traditional institutions divide them into preclinical and clinical education.
Most schools understand the importance of practical knowledge, especially in this field, therefore they encourage the students to observe professional healthcare practitioners. Another way to gain practical experience is to go to different clinics and receive specialised training, followed by actual practical work.
No matter the practices of the university, always keep in mind that medical courses are structured differently in every country. Therefore, medical qualifications gained in one country are not necessarily recognised in another country.
The university is really nice .
They have such seasoned teachers and experienced lecturers who break down terms and topics to the minimum for easy understanding.
I can’t believe how fast I understand stuff in one take.
Smart students too.
I do like the fact that Uniuyo has four campuses which gives the advantage of space to create facilities like Class blocks, halls, labs, etc. But it is a sad fact that these are not put in place.
Those we expect to rally the students and scream for the attention of the appropriate board set aside to oversee that these facilities are put in place are less concerned about it-The SUG. Even the Student Union Secretariat is an eye sore.
Few lecturers give in-depth lectures. I can point out a math lecturer that just comes in and solves questions on the board.
Now, let’s talk about the whiteboards. There is no whiteboard in Uniuyo that has not been tainted by a permanent marker or a dried market making it impossible to jot down notes. Leading to incomplete notes.
Our labs are dirty and out of apparatus and specimens such that we have to do theoretical answers for practical questions. We just write in a biology practical class.
There are insufficient desks for students and the class blocks are usually crowded.
There is no room for educational extracurricular activities, just lame politics.
View moreMy program is an interesting program to study but is not made interesting by some lecturers, some of the lecture venues are not conducive at all. The administration has made effort in providing certain equipment and facilities necessary for learning though not adequate. I’ll recommend my course to anyone only if an upgrade is done.
View moreWe are still doing general courses like MTH 121 and BIO 121, hopefully, I get more idea of what physiology is really about in college which starts next year.
Studying Physiology attracts all such hate and insults from lecturers. They regard us as a Knock off of MBBS. To them, we are the failures that couldn’t get. It’s always heartbreaking hearing these words from them daily.
The school environment is not always safe. There could be robbery or any sort of violence at any point in time. This mostly happens when we’re reading at night.
