that is NOT correct.........

imu mbbs is only recognised in msia and sri lanka..........and nowhere else...........

you will have significant obstacles trying to get registered to work in uk, as your degree will not be recognised........and there is a current rule that disallow img (international medical graduates, or doctors who do not graduate from uk/eu) from undergoing specialist training in uk..............

why is pms undergraduate not an option?........

don't blame the counselors. i do NOT think they will give such obviously wrong information.......the usual reason is a lack of understanding by applicants and parents..........and hearing the info you want to hear, instead of what is said..........

if you ask 'is it possible for my son/daughter to work overseas next time'.........the answer is 'yes'........and that's not wrong........

if you ask 'is it easy to get jobs overseas after graduation' then you will get a different answer.......

they will tell you 'there have been some graduates who have found jobs in the usa, and are undergoing specialist training there'........and you will think everybody can do that......but a searching additional question 'how many have done so, and what do they need to do to get jobs there' will bring forth the right answers..........

let me give you a real life example of misunderstanding........a friend called me, to ask me about imu, saying his son has been offered a place in imu medicine.........but that was in mid january, and i know all offers have made before christmas.......and he said he has no further news from imu........

i said, therefore it is likely the son has NOT been offered, and he replied 'but the counselor said there is offer and i even paid the fees already and we received no letter of rejection'.........well, the 'fees' was the application fees.........and when he called imu, he was told the son has not met the cutoff and there is NO offer........not even 2nd round..........

at the end of the day...............caveat emptor.........

Added on February 6, 2010, 4:52 pmthat is correct..........the us does NOT recognise any medical degree other than their own, and ALL foreigners (and us citizens) with other qualification will need to pass all 3 usmle steps to be eligible for jobs.............

that is incorrect...........who listing is of no consequence in most countries.........

it's just a list of med schools.........that's all.........means nothing at individual country level.......

anu/warick?...........so you are in the pms-graduate stream.......?

this intake will be the last batch on the old differential fees system..........from august, the fees for both phases will be the same.......the total fees for the local stream is still the same, phase 1 fees goes up rm5k/sem and phase 2 comes down rm5k/sem.........

but it means pms stream students will now need to pay rm25k more for the phase 1.........

subtle way for imu to increase their fees........the majority of students are in pms stream.......

it's cheaper than monash msia, which is 400k.......

there is little extra you need to pay.........

of course, your living expenses are not included.............

the orientation week (usually actually 2 weeks) could be the best time of your stay in imu.........
