Following up on my last post for those who just passed Primaries, it is important to choose your residency centre wisely.

Residency is a 5-7 year commitment. Even if you plan to leave, it is worth knowing a few things about the place.

Fair warning:⚠️ you won't find a perfect centre. Every programme has a weak point somewhere. The goal is knowing which trade-offs you can live with.

Here's what to actually look out for: 🧵

1. Caseload and case mix
Volume matters, but variety matters just as much. Complex cases or just routine ones?
Inquire about the hands-on culture, are residents actually doing procedures? Is there enough patient density?
This is especially important for programmes that have a significant hands on component

2. The trainers
Ask about the consultant-to-resident ratio. Do they have enough seniors to teach and supervise, or are residents just service providers keeping the hospital running?
Good mentorship changes a lot.

3. Accreditation
Check your centre's accreditation status; full or partial. Partial isn't automatically a dealbreaker, but depending on the specialty, it can mean up to a year outside your primary centre to meet requirements before you can sit for exams.
Ask what the options are, and what support the department actually gives residents in that situation.

4. Equipment and infrastructure
You can't learn modern medicine with archaic tools. Does the centre have working equipment for your specialty, or will you be reading the theory of a procedure you've never once seen because the machine's been down for a year?

5. Career progression
Ask current residents: do people finish on time? Some departments have bottlenecks, politics, unwritten rules that delay exams.
You want a programme pushing you forward, not holding you back.

6. Remuneration and welfare
Salaries paid regularly? State vs Federal centres differ a lot here. You can't study or function well while worrying about unpaid arrears. What is the story? What is the outlook? How strong are their associations?

7. The city and cost of living
You'll live here for half a decade.
Is it secure? Can you afford a decent apartment on a registrar's salary? IS it somewhere you can build a family?

8. Work culture
Medicine is hard enough without a malignant environment. Find residents already in the programme, talk to them privately, ask what a typical day is like. They'll tell you the truth.

9. Proximity and people
Who do you already know there? Friends? Family? A senior colleague who can vouch for the department ?
Tbh, this network matters more than people admit.
Also, think about distance from home: 5-7 years is a long time to be far from family when things happen, good or bad.

It's a lot to weigh, honestly, so do your research, but also, nothing is permanent. You can transfer centres later if you have to, so don't let the decision paralyse you.

Wishing you all the best.

Femi Otedola's father was once a governor who used hundreds of billions of Naira without any form of accountability.

Decades later, he and his children are referred to as "OLD MONEY".

You people are funny.
