QUOTE(Crypt @ Mar 23 2012, 10:40 PM) I know. Some student actually express this exact statement. But the only country I know which have many supply of cadaver is India. Then again, I think many countries in the world (UK,USA,Singapore, etc.) dont have access to cadaver but they produce world class graduate. But Im not saying like we are good or anything as you guys probably have an advantage UniMelb and Monash Clayton both use cadavers in their medical program.  |

If you can choose between doing a 5 yr undergrad medical course in either Australia (one of the Go8) or UK, (one of the russell group), which will you choose, under present known circumstances? What are the pertinent pros and cons?

QUOTE(godofwar13 @ Mar 31 2012, 02:51 AM) As one of those rich-kid, new gen medical students who plays like crazy and goes out every other night I must say that a common licensing board is the only way to guarantee competent medical students, though extremely difficult to implement. The passing grade for many private medical colleges exams are laughably easy. That..or dispel the notion that good grades=be a doctor. Can you elaborate a little on "laughably easy"? Exactly what kind of future doctors are being churned out by the private medical colleges in the country? |

To compare medical students from NUS and the likes of UCSI and other IPTS is already a grave mistake. Start from the basics, ie at point of admission into the medical faculty. There is simply NO comparison when the first criteria is academic results. I think it's an insult to NUS medics to have them compete in quizzes with medics from msian private medical colleges, except perhaps IMU and Monash (now also questionable, it seems). However, due to the nature of the profession, knowledge is generously shared among medical students (based on what I was told by a medical student).

QUOTE(godofwar13 @ Mar 31 2012, 01:09 PM) I don't see what's wrong with comparing our med students to SG's, especially when quite a number of my friends plan to work there after graduating. Granted though, for the quizzes, NUS normally sends their Msian students. UM is probably the only one who gave them a real challenge. I take it that your friends are in UM and/or UKM?As for MOHs suggestion, it would be quite interesting to see the results if the definition were literal. It would effectively bring the number of scholars to 0, as US ivy league universities only take post-grad students, though the misspellings of "their" in the article makes me doubt the legitimacy. |

QUOTE(godofwar13 @ Mar 31 2012, 02:11 PM) I do have some, but the ones I was referring to are my IMU friends. Very few are keen on working in govt. service in msia due to the disproportionate pay as compared to the medical school fees. Singapore is a popular choice, especially for private medical students Is this IMU local or IMU-PMS? |

QUOTE(godofwar13 @ Mar 31 2012, 02:22 PM) Why? I don't see why it matters. Are u an imu student? Or already an MO/HO? Is the local IMU medical degree already recognised by SMC? Unless the schedule in SMC's website is not updated, only UM and UKM medical degrees are currently recognised by SMC. Would be good to know any updated information in this respect.There are locals who want to specialize in Sg and stay there (primarily ex-ASEAN) and those who PMS to Glasgow/Edinburg because they heard Sg prefers graduates from these unis. Granted, every1 wants to work overseas with the high pay and what not..but it's rather difficult right now due to the policies. This post has been edited by podrunner: Mar 31 2012, 02:29 PM |

QUOTE(limeuu @ Apr 6 2012, 11:42 PM) just a word of caution about the impending surplus of medical personnel.... My guess:the assumption is that the 'poorly trained' ones will be the ones who will fall by the wayside.... in real life, that is not necessarily the case.... what is the definition of a 'good' doctor?.... it varies depending who is looking.... to the patient, a good doctor is one who is nice, listens, agrees with the patient, gives sick leaves, makes them well fast, etc....not necessarily the competent one.... to a private hospital, it is one who orders the most investigations, admits the most patients, and do the most procedures....doesn't matter whether indicated or not.... to the gov administrator, it is one who agrees to be posted to where ever, without protest....doesn't matter if he/she knows nuts.... therefore, it is possible for a well trained, competent, and empathic doctor to be rejected because he scolds recalcitrant patients, does not do unnecessary tests/procedures, and wants to live with his ageing parents in the cities.... fact is, even now, some of the most successful gps are those who trained from dubious unis, performed badly while in compulsory gov service, but loved by patients because he seems to do miracles making patients recover from urti in record time....anyone can guess how/why?..... How - steroids Why - speedy recovery, so patients translate that to being a good doctor |
