cardio 3 is the most widely used in nus.

hi do consider the probability that zhejiang might be de recognised by smc (singapore medical council) one day, and same time mmc (malaysia medical council) doesn't recognise zhejiang, so you might end up like those derecognised graduates from ukraine or other developing countries.

on the other hand, local MBBS is a much safer option. it almost ensures you recognisation of ur degree in msia

but if u r really deperate to go singapore, then zhejiang might be a better choice for you, and same time you should always keep in contact with smc.

otherwise, local MBBS is the way to go

hope it helps

you will certainly be taught on the mechanisms behind the facts, eg in physiology, pathophysiology and in diff specialties. However, you should go more to the wards/clinic/OT to see the how the knowledge in the books can be applied there. It helps alot in you memory and understanding.
and ultimately these are the skills/knowledge you need to survive as a doctor.

residency will replace the current specialist training in singapore. local graduates (NUS, Duke-NUS) apply for residency in their final yr. most residency programmes will last for 5 yrs. they become consultant upon completion of their residency training.

i'm not sure how the system works for foreign graduates but you can definitely email MOH or any of the healthcare clusters (singhealth, NHG and NUHS). hope it helps.

this yr.

haha, that's a very impt question everyone will ask. i think it varies among healthcare clusters and different departments. but the general idea would be medskol results, student internship performance, publications/presentations of related topics, and recommedation letters.

they recognised the problem of the so called "lack in comprehensiveness", and as a result, 1st yr residents wil need to rotate thru different department not related to his specialty to at least gain the skills in handling common conditions.

Added on February 23, 2010, 2:17 pmunder the previous system, trainees are selected mainly based on their work performance, foreign exams taken, and mabbe papars published/presented.

under the new system, selection is done among the final yr students, and the best indicator in this case would be student internship performance, but it's unfair to judge someone based on internship performance alone as it only lasted for 1 or 2 months. so medskol results will come into play.

must study hardest!!!

heard from friends/relatives/agents that many have successfully passed MMC exams and now practicing as specialist!!!

thinking of taking USMLE and migrate to US. no more malaysian!!!

hi zstan, r u in medskol now?

erm, i think most scholarships for IPTA graduates didn't really come with bond.

hmm, as far as i remember, only JPA will bond them, but not the other sponsors. think i will leave that question to any IPTA graduates here.

that's why most of them didn't come with bond, even when living expenses were included.

erm, actually it's not really a problem, as Msia will be having surplus of doctors in 2015. This issue is mainly a source of frustration to some people like prof lokman, for whatever reasons.

and i remember Prof Lokman once expressed his happiness when SMC recognised UKM degree 3 years back, and now he felt the impact.

i think you mean chemistry is more useful than biology, as you can find more knowledge in chemistry relevant to your medical studies.

and read more angmoh paper, sure can improve one.

you are the cutest la...

are you a singaporean also? i think Ibrahimovic is a singaporean who served 2 yrs of NS.

i assume you are making a joke

i'm a Malaysian studying in singapore.

i said it was a joke because they do go other countries for tertiary education, just like malaysians.... saying that they only stay in singapore is an insult to them i think.

dun worry

i think you should give IMU a try. show them you have enough fund and enthusiasm to study there. Monash malaysia is not recognised in singapore so it doesn't really matter in your case.
