BREAKING THE SILENCE, 2014 Breaking The Silence | Page 39

'unserious' student of UNILAG is a
world class graduate, because the
world is shifting towards talent.
There is so much saturation in the
world today, that the only people
that make it to the top are those
who are creative. Those who think
outside the box. The world is filled
with the conventional, and is
always enthralled when confronted
with the unconventional. After all,
Frank Netter was a Surgeon and a
wonderful artist, the writer of
Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle was a doctor also.
In conclusion, The Lagos advantage
as I would like to call it can only be
gotten in College of Medicine,
University of Lagos. Why? In the
College, there is so much going on
that challenges you. When you see
how much your senior colleagues
have achieved, get to attend one
seminar after another, numerous
health week symposia, you realise
that you are not surrounded by
people that conform to the 'typical
medical student' image. So while
they excel in their medical
profession, they excel outside it as
well. Business, fashion, writing,
what ever it is.
The world wants good doctors but,
it is in need of special doctors.
Doctors that dare to challenge
themselves and gain more than just
an MBBS degree after six years. The
students and graduates of this
College are at the top of that list.
