This is what majority of them do in those relocation thread.

They just lie and tell people to stay back in Nigeria.

Good question..

I hope I try to explain this as much understandable as I can for you.

You see all those doctors here in Nigeria right, they are not doctors when the relocate abroad. They get jobs as home care aid to nursing sick people. That is a different occupation far far from practicing as a doctor in America or Canada or UK.
Infact you can as well apply to be a home care assistant as well with your university degree from Nigeria which is considered a normal equivalent to diploma here. You just have to the nursing exam which I know a 200level university student from Nigeria can read the Q&A and as well.
What you do is simply take care of old people or mentally unstable people and make sure they don't poop on their self or when they do you change them and also make sure they take their meds regularly and also monitor them so they don't harm their self.
Anybody can do that job infact that is equivalent to a factory job if you don't know only this time you be more careful because you handling a human life and can be arrested and you go to jail if you flop because it is stated there in your agreement you sign before you start working.

If you want to be a doctor in these countries, you have to apply for a medical or a nursing program/ degree where you undergo the process from the begining according to the countries teaching regulations and standards, the necessary exams, go for your training practice, write another exam if you fail you have to retake it which happens very often because I have friends who it has happened to. Then luckily you them you go under the process to be a certified nurse or doctor depending on the field you choose.

I hope you get the point now. Merry Xmas and season greetings.


You type lot of nonsense

Many Nigerian doctors have gotten jobs directly from Nigeria

They just have to write the licensing exams of those countries

If they , they are qualified to work.

yes but certificate doesn't matter abroad

what matters abroad is what you can do with your hands and what's in your brain

Certificate matters abroad except if you are washing plate and doing low paying jobs

Who is this very ignorant fellow? If u don't know about something, u keep your dirty mouth shut. See how u are typing trash with confidence. Olodo.
Nigeria trained doctors and nurses relocate to western countries and practice their profession. They don't enrol to obtain any degree to practice as the medical degree they get in Nigeria is valid. They write the licence exam, and practice.
It is same in Nigeria, any doctor who trains abroad and wants to practice in Nigeria are subjected to writing the licence exam before they can practice here in Nigeria too.

For me, Nigerian degrees even if FIRST CLASS it's not actually useful outside Nigeria. Mostly in western countries i.e USA Canada Luxembourg etc.

That's why when people who relocate to this country who want to push on their professional careers always go back to school in those country.
Reason I guess is based on their educational and teaching standard requirements.
Not really

Every country is different.
With a medical degree from Nigeria, you will need at least 5 years (assuming the candidate is very intelligent) to practice as a doctor in US. They have the same stringent rules whether you are coming from UK or Australia.

Other healthcare professionals can present their degrees from Nigeria and challenge the Board exams if they meet the prerequisites. Sometimes it is easier and cheaper to study those courses in Nigeria

Lol just typing rubbish with calmness han han feeding people with lies.

I am a physiotherapist, I got a job in UK directly from Nigeria in 2022 and I moved there and I work with NHS, I only applied for a license to work as a physiotherapist in UK. That is all I did.

I have met so many doctors that studied in Nigeria, working as doctors here, they didn’t have to go to any more school, they just wrote the licensing exams to practice which is standard.

I have countless number of nurses who got job directly from Nigeria.

They go through certification programs. It's like PGD then write the certification exams. If you don't the professional certification, you don't get to practice abroad

Your posts are entirely wrong. Entirely, entirely wrong.

I'm a medical doctor, I'm doing this just to educate you and others that may read your posts later.

Most Nigerian certificates are acceptable in the West. The exams health workers write is to establish their proficiency and fitness to practice in those countries, and not for an additional education.

A medical doctor who trained abroad would have to write a professional exam organized by the MDCN before he/she would be able to practice in Nigeria.

Only a few countries respect international medical degrees without requesting for further examinations. For example, a doctor who has practiced in the UK for up to 2 years or so would be fit to practice in places like NZL and Australia without taking further exams. See?

Your assertion that Nigerian doctors only work in care homes unless they retrain abroad is unbelievably wrong, please. There are many Nigerian doctors working with the NHS with their university certificates... all they need to do is to IELTS and PLAB.

Hope this helps.

Well, I think there’s misunderstanding between both of you. The op said if you can apply directly with your Nigeria degree and the answer is yes but first, you must take a level of exam to acquire a license and practice as one. You can’t just move to Western Countries and start operating, you must undergo some processes.
So I believe both of you misunderstood yourselves

Not exactly so Sir

I guess what you speak of is the United States residency program and the Percular nature of the United States medical system [ which is for both US trained Doctors & those coming from outside the US]


But the point is - when you are doing residency you are already practicing
