A Brief Background of Medicine

Medicine is the branch of science which deals with health and healing. It consists of nurses, doctors, and other specialists.

It covers disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, as well as medical research and a variety of other areas.

Medicine is concerned with promoting and maintaining good health and well-being.

Medicine comprises of different fields. Some of them include:

Surgery

Surgical operations are required to diagnose and treat certain diseases, malformations, and injuries. Instead of medication, they use instrumental and physical methods.

A surgeon can perform surgery to remove or replace sick tissue or organs or extract tissue for biopsy. In addition, they may remove undesirable tissue and send it to be diagnosed.

Clinical Practice

In a hospital or other healthcare setting, a clinician is a health practitioner who interacts directly with patients. Clinicians include nurses, doctors, psychotherapists, and other specialists.

Clinical Research

Researchers investigate whether diseases are present, why they occur, what can be done to treat or prevent them, what causes them to occur more frequently, and many other facets of health.

Biomedical Research

The goal of this branch of study is to find solutions to prevent and treat diseases that cause illness or death.

Biomedical researchers examine biological processes and disorders using biotechnology tools. They want to create effective treatments and cures.

Psychotherapy

Counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and other types of “talking cure” might be beneficial for persons suffering from mental health issues such as depression, stress, or chronic pain.

Branches of medicine include biochemistry, biophysics, anatomy, genetics, pathology, radiology, pharmacology, and a host of others.

Medicine and Surgery JUPEB WAEC Subject Combination

Candidates for Medicine and Surgery at any JUPEB-accredited university or institution must meet the following requirements:

1. A minimum of 5 credit passes in Maths, English Language, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or any other subject is required.
2. Candidates’ bio data will be required for online registration.

The ideal JUPEB cut off mark for all JUPEB affiliated universities is 5 points; nevertheless, courses differ, hence cut off marks vary.

JAMB set a ceiling on cut-off marks for all schools, just like it did for UTME admission, so that no university, polytechnic, or college of education could fall below it.

The same is true for JUPEB direct entry admissions.
