May I know which one is better? The only downside for JCU is the fact it is a 6 year program.
Thanks in advance and hope for some answer here.

Hi all. I'm just finished my IB exam, with passable result. Currently being offered for medic in PMC and James Cook University in Queensland, Australia.

QUOTE(Huskies @ Jul 12 2011, 09:29 PM) I think it all boils down to where you wish to practise in after graduation: Well I do pass the requirement. That tells all right? No need to tell the exact mark lah. Shy... - PMC, if you're fine with working in Malaysia, since your clinical training phase will be conducted in Penang. - JCU, if you fancy your chances of getting an internship in Australia (btw Queensland is one of the hardest places to get an internship due to the rapid expansion of medical places at the University of Queensland). P.S. And what do you mean by "passable result"? Correct me if I am wrong, but I doubt there is any medical school in Australia willing to accept an IB score that is less than 36.    Thanks for your answer. Personally, I'm more inclined to PMC currently (Twinning with Ireland), due to shorter duration (5 yrs vs 6 for JCU). Plus, I know that I'll work in Malaysia after that, so clinical years in Malaysia really will helped me a lot. But the rumors about PMC do scares me. Plus, the prospect of studying overseas fully vs twinning program really makes me go haywire  Already got unconditional offer for both. So now, I'm really thinking hard. Really hard at both option. |

QUOTE(Huskies @ Jul 12 2011, 10:26 PM) If migration is not your priority, then I'd recommend you go with PMC (definitely better than most of the private medical colleges in Malaysia). Well, I'm government-sponsored. So money isn't too much of a problem.I don't see the AUD exchange rate dropping any time soon, so unless you have an extra three or four hundred thousand ringgit to spare, steer clear of Australia Oh and JCU is also NOT recognised by the Singapore Medical Council... Again, thanks for your input. Really- really helped me now. And I can't wait to join this community  BTW, JCU also didn't recognized? May I know the source? QUOTE(limeuu @ Jul 12 2011, 10:30 PM) please note that both degrees are not recognised in spore........ Well, I'm a government sponsored student, so I'll work in Malaysia of course.if one intends to work and maybe settle in oz, then the logical choice is jcu.......whether one can find internship in oz upon graduation is another question, but if one doesn't mind regional centres like cairns or rockhamton, it's probably possible to get one......but 6 years is a long time, and things will be different by then........ Both degree doesn't recognized in Singapore? Do you mean JCU as well? I was briefed during my interview session that it is recognized worldwide. May I know the source?
