Pre-surgery
Orthopaedic surgeons assess and diagnose patients during physical
examinations and determine treatment options. Before opting for surgery,
orthopaedic surgeons may recommend non surgical methods of treatment, such as
physical therapy or rehabilitative devices. Orthopaedic surgeons monitor the
progress of patients and ensure that ailments are being treated effectively.
Once surgery is determined as the best option, an orthopaedic surgeon must
prepare a patient for surgery and explain the pros and cons of the procedure.
Surgery
During surgery, an orthopaedic surgeon may be responsible for repairing
broken bones, mending torn tendons and ligaments and attaching separated
muscles. These problems may be present at birth or occur as the result of
ageing or through an injury. While the orthopaedic surgeon is just part of the
surgical team, he is in charge of nurses, surgical assistants and technicians
in the operating room. The surgeon assigns specific duties and ensures all team
members are doing their job.
Post Surgery
Many patients must go through an extensive period of rehabilitation
after surgery. Rehabilitation helps patients improve their range of motion to a
particular area and helps return body parts to normal function. An orthopaedic
surgeon may recommend a physical therapist and continue to monitor the progress
of a patient. An orthopaedic surgeon works with a physical therapist to make
sure the patient is getting the necessary care and attention.
Qualifications/Experience
Ø Following graduation from medical
school, Orthopaedic Surgeon complete three years of education in an accredited
Orthopaedic program.
Ø Skills in Human Relations

As a specialized physician, a haematologist treats disorders of the
blood. These can include many different conditions, and a haematologist must be
knowledgeable enough to treat all of the different types, which may include
disorders with blood cells, bone marrow, and the vascular system in general.
As haematologists are specialists in blood disorders they may work with
patients who have everything from anaemia to cancer to sickle cell disease, and
everything in between. They work as any other type of physician to begin the
process by consulting with their patients to understand their symptoms and
gather valuable information. They are often referred by primary care physicians
as a specialist in this field is required for a proper diagnosis and treatment
plan, so they may also utilize physician’s notes and records in the treatment
of their patients.
Haematologist may spend some of their time in a laboratory, looking at
the blood samples collected from their patients. They use this to form the
basis of their diagnosis and may have to perform a great deal of research as
part of their job responsibilities. Haematologists may prescribe and perform
many different tests, procedures, and blood work to gather as much information
as they can on their patient to ensure that an appropriate diagnosis is
provided. They work with their patients every step of the way to understand
what the condition is and what the prognosis and associated treatment plan is.
Haematologists may perform surgeries as part of a patient’s treatment plan.
Haematologist must run their practice as any other physician would. If
they are part of a smaller staff or practice or if they run their own,
haematologists must handle all business aspects, including the management of
their staff. If they work as part of a larger group or at a hospital directly,
they may be involved in committees or research initiatives. Though haematology
is a specialization, some of the responsibilities are the same as any other
type of physician.
Qualifications/Experience
Ø There is a rather extensive educational
requirement for haematologists.
Ø They must complete medical school and
gain a license, as any other type of doctor would. Beyond that, they must
receive an advanced degree in haematology, as this is their focus.
Ø Haematologists may even declare and
focus on a specialization beyond haematology, such as paediatrics if they wish
to treat children with blood disorders.
Ø A student of haematology must travel a
long road to fulfill all of the educational requirements for this
specialization, sometimes taking up to ten years.
Ø It is important to keep up with the
licensing requirements, which may vary by state.
Ø There is usually an ongoing training
requirement of some sort so that the haematologist keeps current within their
field. It is expected that most hematologists will attend industry events,
workshops, or seminars to keep up with new trends or findings so that they can
better serve their patients.
Ø While on-the-job training comes with
experience, any additional training can help to keep an haematologist
competitive and in the best capacity to serve their patients.
Ø Skills in Human Relations
Ø Good listening and communication skills

A radiologist is a medical doctor who is trained in executing and
interpreting medical images such as x-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, and MRIs and
using them to treat health problems in patients. Radiologists perform
image-guided procedures but do not normally handle the general medical needs of
a patient. Instead, a radiologist is a specialist who uses the tools of his or
her trade to make a diagnosis for a patient, then presents the results to the
patient’s physician.
The most common tool a radiologist uses is the x-ray. An x-ray is an
image taken by using a machine to beam radiation through a patient’s body onto
a radiation-sensitive plate after carefully covering other portions of the
patient’s body with lead shields. Radiologists normally employ radiological
technicians to do the actual x-ray photography, but they are trained in the
photography process as well.
Other devices that radiologists use in their work include Computer
Tomography (CT) scanners, which take cross-sectional x-ray pictures of the
human body and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines, which use magnets and
radio waves to create a picture of the inside of the human body. Radiologists
may specialize in nuclear medicine, therapeutic radiology, interventional
radiology or other sub-specialities.
Qualifications/Experience
Ø Because radiologists are fully-licensed
medical doctors, they must undergo a minimum of 11 years of education,
beginning with a bachelor’s degree that is heavily weighted toward biology and
physics requirements, such as a premedical degree.
Ø After completing the Medical College
Admission Test and being admitted, prospective radiologists must complete four
years of medical school in an accredited medical program.
Ø During this period, a prospective
radiologist must sit for two Medical Licensing Examinations by the National
Board of Medical Examiners.
Ø After graduating from medical school,
prospective radiologists must complete a final medical licensing examination
during the first year of their residency, or medical internship.
Ø Most residencies last 3-5 years, after
which radiologists sit for examinations to become board certified.
8. Consultant, Cardiologist (Ref. 008)
Location: Lagos
Responsibilities
Cardiologists focus on the continuing care of heart patients and use
various testing procedures, which may include invasive (e.g. angiography) or
non-invasive (e.g. echocardiography) methods or both. In addition, they work
closely with heart surgeons and other internists as needed to provide optimum
patient care.
Candidate would be responsible for providing cardiac consultation,
performing and interpreting stress tests, and reading echo/carotid/aortic
doppler studies
Qualifications/Experience
Ø Candidates must have an MD (or
equivalent) degree and, though most opportunities require board certification
(BC) in cardiology, some will accept candidates who have successfully completed
their speciality education, but have not taken the cardiology certification exam.
Ø Due to a cardiologist’s lengthy and
intense training, both theoretical and practical, degreed candidates are
assumed to be being skilled in the evaluation and treatment of cardiology
patients.
Ø In addition, years of work experience
is not a primary factor for most opportunities, though it will come into play
later in a career if moving into a more senior (director) role.
9. Medical Officers (Ref. 009)
Location: Lagos
Responsibilities
The duties of a medical officer may vary depending on where he’s posted,
