One of my painful experiences while practising in Nigeria was losing women who objected CS to death. All of them were educated - bankers, nurse. They had the necessary information at their disposal but they believed that "Hebrew women" do not deliver via CS.

@DrOlufunmilayo
I think Religion played a huge part in this mess. People that delivered via CS are viewed as weak women. You hear the word " Hebrew women". It is difficult to liberate people from this because religious leaders are viewed as higher than doctors.

During the epidemic, I requested for transcripts from two universities in the US. I paid $21 for the two. The pdf copies were sent to my email the following day. How long do we continue in this mess?
These Nigerian universities especially public universities always requesting bribe before giving out transcripts needs to stop. People missing out on opportunities because of transcript delay.

So, biostatistics and epidemiologists are some of the areas abandoned by people because it involves lots of calculations and the ability to use one or more statistical softwares. The COVID-19 pandemic will also open up many opportunities in these 2.

My advise: If you are not a medical graduate and want to go far in public health fields in the US or globally,
- choose any of the above concentration for your MPH
- focus on a particular research area
- Continue into the PhD

I think we have the notion that following the residency route makes you fulfilled as a doctor. And those in residency see themselves as being superior to those who aren’t. The truth is that we are all doctors, choose your own path and excel in it. Simple!!!

It is true that some people got things figured out earlier in life. Many of us take each day as it comes. Some won’t even find a life purpose but will settle for something that brings food to the table. There’s no template for living.
I liked a tweet just now abiut people who haven't found their life purpose and are taking each day as it comes. I remember some people who like to push a certain narrative down people's throat just because they have "made" it.
