wow, tough one, =P probably sg if thats the case, not sure if i'm eligible for NZ places or not too. But generally a lot of the international students (that i know of) got offered a place in their 5th year. so which is good to hear.
well we're doing more and more clin stuff since year 2. don't think you can do much in year 1 since it's the basics? and things aren't really coming tgt at that stage for me. We do like case presentation in groups, which is really fun =)

i presume you are also in utas.....

utas trains more doctors than is needed within tasmania, and graduates from utas have always been seeking employment in mostly vic, sometimes further afield as well.....

just as many from vic who could not enter melb or monash will accepts offers in utas....

this situation exists long before the issue about housemanship places arise.......

i think you will be onelove's batchmate then.....

i am quite sure the houseman job situation will be sorted out....at worst, just apply for regional hospitals.....even monash msia grads are getting offers in regional vic......

how many international students do utas take a year? what's their total intake nowadays?

i will use this as basis for reply.....

1. you are guaranteed fy1 and 2 in uk, but not in oz......

2. with current communication media, where you are doesn't make much difference.....however, the time difference may make some impact......and actual travelling time is almost doubled for uk.....

3. oz weather trumps uk by a long way.....

4. quality of life is generally better in oz......

finally, the weather......uk is cold and damp all the time.....even in summer......eg, this year's summer is cold, and the temperature is the same as brisbane's winter!!.....

i normally see it this way, as far as doing medicine is concerned.....if you want good education, and a good chance for post graduate training, but have no intention of staying back, then uk is a good choice......

if you want a good education, and a chance to migrate to a better quality of life, and accept that post graduate training is difficult, and don't mind being a gp, then oz is the place......

why is that so? They aren't a good choice anymore?

Do anyone know whether sunway Monash will make any offer for places in medic to applicants who are waiting for their A levels results to be released in January 2012 for February 2012 intake? Or they are put on waiting list pending results confirmation.

Has gone for interview n informed that decision will be made upon presentation of a levels results. Will be quite late as results only out late January

Anybody bought books from the shop opposite UMMC before? From the sign board it says selling medical devices and books. Seems like not very popular.

Thanks for the info. Asked Mabecs and they said Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Good.

I thought someone said online. Will look into your suggestion. Tks.
