1. Only the visceral part of serous pericardium is innervated by pain fibers? By both side, sympathetic pain fibers.

2. Their first order neuron finally ends at the DRG? Anyways, there are few theories about referred pain but none are proven. Axon reflex, thalamic convergence, hyperexitability, convergence-facilitation and one more theory i can't remember. Go google it, or find it in your neurophysio text.

Hello...

I wanted to ask what are the steps need to be taken if we want to pursue post-grad studies / specialisation in medicine in the US... What I know so far is we have to take the USMLE; 3 papers altogether, am I right?

What other requirements are needed? Depends on the uni we're going? Is there any minimum requirement of residency we need to be exposed to before we can apply for it?

I need someone to chart out the proper route, I'm quite confused with it, especially the US medical school systems...

I think you're right about the USMLE, needing to take the papers... But concerning the others I'm not so sure...

Anyone around here have the info and can help out? I'm interested to know the procedures too...

going to med school in US or studying medicine here?
if you're doing medicine here, here's a useful link:

if you're planning to study medicine in the US, there was a thread about it in this forum before

Any uni received the andalas medical students? UCSI received quite a number of them

reporting in

what year did they enter?

AIMST University too.

Year 3 enters year 1, year 4 enters year 2

is the standard of indon med school so low?........year 3 there only equivalent to year 1 here???

Ours year 3 entering year 2 i think.

According to our lecturers, after the interview they only qualify as such. Cant comment much but we'll see after the exams

how much is the fees if wanna study medic?

In my uni there are 25 3rd year andalas students enter year 1. only year 5 or year 4 enter 3rd year. I heard one of my classmates from andalas say their clinical only 1 and a half year. The medical sciences taught there is not so well organized like local medical uni. They prefer the system here.

its not fair to judge other medical university, i always believe any university recognized by Malaysian government is in the same standard, just the curriculum is different...

that is NOT true..........recognition is a function of politics rather than quality, in the msian context.........

a big difference between med schools across the world is their ADMISSION policy........ie the quality of the students accepted.....

the CORE medical knowledge is the SAME where ever one is.........we are all humans with the same anatomy, physiology, chemistry etc........different syllabus may have different NON-CORE content, but the basic knowledge required is the same..........

therefore for 3rd year students to be forced to restart at year 1 does indicate severe and significant deficiencies in knowledge.......and ability.........

an any case, think about it.......why are there so many indonesians flocking to penang, melaka, spore etc for medical attention?..........

may i know where can i get/download normal sound of heartbeat or auscultation?

some of my senior said that we need to listen to it at least 500-1000 times to differentiate between normal heartbeat with murmur.
