Thanks for this. I will love to get it and also be a distributor.
I am in Abuja.

samuelpeters:

This is nigeria bro, it will be bastardized.
I know there are pharmacists that know their worth but majority are just there. Reason why pharmacists still go back for medicine.

Maybe when pharmacists start getting consultancy status by rigorous training in their Postgraduate College rather than number of years in service, then i would take them serious. Same goes to other health profession.

Shey there was a time LASG gave consultancy status to some pharmacists by virtue of reaching GL17 what the heck is that
Doing the same thing for years without any advancement in knowledge and core professionalism and want to be a consultant?
Where is that done?

Then i should just be a General practitioner without specializing after some number of years, i would become a consultant

There is actually a residency program... Paid for by the Pharmacist himself not the government.

mannyiyke:
is there any other way it's taught again other than in pharmacology? Besides, it's a doctor that attends to patients. So, in real life, he applies it more than pharmacists. He knows more about it than pharmacists.

Poor knowledge. Poor one.

mannyiyke:
then you're practising quackery.

Eihya.... A Nigerian with very low exposure spotted.

This same cashboy FX... Is he the same person that didn't enable comment on his YOUTUBE page?

He doesn't have any space for review of his product. He keeps saying he is a busy person. Thank God I didn't fall.. I Was wondering how an indicator would be 100% working

Dannyfan:
I never said there's BPPD. I said awarding B.Pharm and Pharm.D might be integerated to be BPPD or any other format.
The two awards is like awarding two degrees at a go. How will it looks on the certificate? Will they issue two certificate?

Yes, they do issue two certificate

Snowale:
Not all university does it, I think BUK does it Sha, someone told me it's 2 years. True I'm not sure because, I haven't seen anyone does it. But, I'm sure it's possible

It's actually 3yrs part time for now.

MrEgghead:
Like I said, Pharmacology is the only relevant course in your department to a Medical Doctor...the rest are not.... Medical students know the nitty- gritty of PATHOLOGY because they do it as a subject not as a course...
The basic Medical sciences you do are just periphery with the small materials they to you..
We do everything indepthly with mighty books which you people don't think of buying...

Face your lane... All hands are on deck to fish you quacks out....No doctor will ever do a pharmacist's job but reverse is the case for you when ofcourse 80% of you wanted MBBS at one point in time but you couldn't get it...

Embrace your new found love and practice it diligently...Don't be a "Doctor wannabee'

"Physician wannabee" u mean

MrEgghead:
Your job is to vet and dispense and your knowledge of drugs is not enough to usurp the role of a physician...What do you know about the pathophysiology of disease with your zero knowledge of MORBID Anatomy?
what differentiates a medic from a pharmacist are: Good knowledge of Pathology, Medicine, surgery, psychiatry, o an G as they make you a sound doctor. Pharmacology is the only relevant course to Medical students from pharmacy as other parts are irrelevant in clinical practice...
The same pharmacology is applied to all the specialties of medicine and you're not aware of that..So where does your pharmacology take you to!
I respect my case!

Really? Zero knowledge of Morbid anatomy?.... I see where the problem is...

Snowale:
Nurses are doing almost all the treatment, what's the big deal in treating. And consulting, what's so special about it. Pharmacist are always proud of themselves, and never regret their action of studying the course. Unlike, Human medicine, we see them trying all possible to get into the residency program, just few lucky ones with connection + bribery get it, most end up in private hospitals with pay mostly less than 120k. They end up writing letters to CMDs and looking for connection to work as a lecturer in school. I'm glad schools now say you must have your PDGE/Msc before you can be a lecturer. We have many of them writing exams to travel abroad, after 40years they come back home to start a small business, because No pension.

A pharmacist would always be proud of his course.
And they are Doctors just like any other health workers who spent 6 years in school with huge workload

I'M A PHARMACIST. I'M SO PROUD TO BE ONE.

MrEgghead:
In Nigeria, everything goes...
In sane climes, you dare not change a doctor's prescription, you'll be jailed if found guilty...
Do you know about the diagnosis that you want to change the prescription? That's why he's a medical doc. he considers many factors before prescribing and that doesn't mean he's infallible.
A fulfilled pharmacist will quizz the doctor on why he's prescribing such drug and not change it.
Guy, the distance between a medic and a pharmacist is TOO far..Don't refer to a pharmacist as another doctor, he's not and he should be proud as a pharmacist.

U can't just change a prescription... U can call to inform the physician of any mistake noticed and thus, correction done.

MrEgghead:
I know a lot of them..In their pharmacy stores, they create consulting rooms and even beds examining people..

Any pharmacy without a consulting room is not a Pharmacy.

MrEgghead:
Consult on what exactly? With your deficient knowledge of Paediatrics, obs and gyna, Medicine, surgery and more importantly PATHOLOGY.. Brother it can never happen, as that's not your job's designation...you think it's just about drugs...you can only know side effects, contra and dosage but never how a drug can alleviate or worsen a pathology...Be fulfilled with your profession already.

Really?

U know u did more of pharmacodynamics Dan the pharmacist soaked in it.

[quote author=bizzibodi post=90159328]
Anybody who cannot identify a NSAIDs can set up a pharmacy store & hire a pharmacy or their certificate if he has money.[/quoteu can't legally hire a certificate/license

bizzibodi:
This na doctor by hook,an extra one yr suppose gives master degree not D.pharm.
No matter how long a lizard stays inside river it can never be a croc.
Most of them will end up setting up drug shops or be dispensers in government hospitals,we cannot make drugs in nigeria,but to be importing drugs from China,India & vietnam...all we know is carrying big big certificates
Just thinking aloud.

U know people travel outside to tread headache.

MrEgghead:
Don't bring this up...Don't ever mention a pharmacist in category of Dentists, surgeons, pathologists, ENT and Vets...All those you mentioned have the qualification to consult, diagnose and treat because they a common designation "MBBS or BDS"....
Pharm.D is only a professional doctorate just like Ph.D is a research doctorate.
In hospital setting, they can not be called doctors but in other organisations they can.

He said, DONT EVER... bro, what are u scared of?

MrEgghead:
The job of a pharmacist is not to consult, diagnose and treat but they do that in disguise.

These days they even do that openly without qualms.
As a dentist you can interpret the work of a pathologist for diagnosis and treaatment...btwn a pathologist is a specialist.

A Pharmacist can diagnose when it comes to minor illnesses. Everyone can be consulted with respect to his or her field. Pharmacists know when to refer patients to be honest.

It's just that the country is been short changed so we think rubbish as d norm.

Period007:

Check the current HOD from University of Benin teaching Hospital

Truth is some still prefers the title Pharmacist. If I was to b d one typing the names, I would affix the Dr. To his name. Factors are involved.

MrEgghead:
You're right.
When I was going through the list of interns for OAUTHC, even those that had pharmD and O.D were only addressed as Mr and Mrs.
it's for the sake of the gullible populace, even the so called graduates in Nigeria can be sometimes gullible.. That's why Ph.D is as irrelevant as p in psychology in hospital setting.

With time, things would be done correctly... Life is in phases.

MrEgghead:
It doesn't affect anybody if the holder could humbly insist he's not a Medical Doctor but we all know how things go in Nigeria..Even chemists will smile when you erroneously call them doctors not to talk of pharmacists.

If u call a Pharmacist Doctor, he will answer if he is a Doctor and will correct u if he isn't. Do u think the Pharmacist will go and start operating the patient in the hospital? No. Not at all. So no confusion.

Dannyfan:
Yes, checked. I guess it's a straight six years course and not five years with additional one year. Moreso a Pharm.D curriculum differs from a B.Pharm curriculum. With time they'll blend the two awards together (may be BPPD), prior to PCN futuristic claim that the minimum award for registration will be Pharm.D.

All over the world, it's Pharm. D... I never hear BPPD.

mannyiyke:
It's not true. It's unethical in the hospital setting. He or she is just a pharmacist in the hospital. Nothing more.

Bro.. I work in a hospital and I assure u, what u are saying is fake.

mannyiyke:
In the hospital setting, only medical doctors and dentists are qualified to be called doctors. Others can use the title elsewhere other than in the hospital. This is to avoid endangering patients' lives.

How do u mean endangering patients lives please?

Snowale:
she has both because, for the first 5 years she did B.pharm, after the 6th year she then have are Pharm.D.
School that are not yet awarding doctors to their pharmacist graduates, the pharmacist can decide to go to UNN and do a year+ course in order to have the pharm.D also, meaning, he would have both B.Pharn and Pharm.D

This thing u said about doing a one year course alsheay, u are not sure of it.

germaphobe:
yeah i know, i have my heart set on direct entry upon the completion my ond. thanks

Nice one. God bless ur hustle.

pxjosh:
I implore you to make research on if Pharm.D holders can be addressed as Doctors.

The thing dey pain am.... Lol..

1stola:

Stop DECEIVING YOURSELVES!
Pharm.D or not, you are a pharmacist and not a DOCTOR!

And to become a PhD doctor, you will be required to do a masters before PhD.

Doctor kor, nurse ni.

U are trying to tell us that u don't know what Professional doctorate is... Read it up

Joycekkh:
Pharmacy is a course worth studying twice. Very lucrative course.

Says who?

germaphobe:
PHARMACEUTICAL TECHNOLOGY, i'd had the carry overs, but here you can't have more than 5 or you are straight out.

Brother, this isn't Pharmacy. Make a way to Pharmacy.

Randy100:
Your entire generation will never reach my greatness. Imp

phockallmods:

germaphobe:
