We have quite a strong academic team especially the clinician here. Like Prof Abdul Latif, Assoc Prof Ikram, Prof Rashid and so on. According to some clinical seniors in our uni,there is no complains about the teaching quality. Most of the Prof here are come from reputable IPTA like UM,UKM,UPM example Assoc Prof DR Khin, Prof Dr Hamdan(Oxford Phd), Prof Hatta and etc. For Pre-clinical year,there is no problems about the teaching and it's all depends on the passion of learning from the students.

The decision is totally up to you. There is no need for any one of CUCMS-ian here to encourage you to enter. I feel insulted when you ask CUCMS-ian to encourage you to enter CUCMS. There is no need for us to do that! The differences of our UNI are clearly stated in the website and all the info of the website is up to date and true. So,make your own decision.

Yea. For PTPTN,there is no need to worry. The student affair will guide us for this. Definitely will get RM150k and this is the promise of PTPTN to our MBBS students.

I want to join CUCMS. But I only scored cgpa 3.0 for stpm 2009.
I have read about their minimum qualification.
But still worry that I won't be called for an interview.
The intake is on this coming August.
And now only leaving 2 weeks to go ...

worry worry and worryyyyyyy    

I want to do medicine and I'm confident on it.
I got straight As in SPM
but due to some reasons I burnt my 7 months lower six.
I only started doing stpm on upper six.

CUCMS's minimum qualification entry for medicine is 3.0
Don't I have any hope?

The only reason we are stuck in number four is because our seniors havent graduated yet so we lose marks in that area to IMU...

Personal advice:

Academic:
1. Find your best study method ASAP because that is the number one mistake students here do. They usually blindly follow other people's method then get stressed out when they failed to achieve good marks.

2. Never feel shy to discuss your study problem with your mentor or your seniors.

3. When you make notes. make it as appetizing as you could so you cant read it again and again.
Non Academic:
1. Remember, a few of the students already being held back a year just because they failed their affective domain so be nice to other people or if its that hard for you, just dont make yourself troublesome for your group

2. Make sure to live a life even if its a geek life because here, the unofficial motto is, "to produce unnerd doctors" so if you spend too much on studying, you must have done something wrong.

3. Stress is a very big words here but actually, if you can balance out advice number 2, its a very small problem actually.

4. Food is not a problem, there are actually cheap food around Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, Sri Kembangan etc etc. Dont blindly follow those rich fella who eat in suspiciously rich sounding place like PapaRich, Pure Arab restaurants, Old Town and such. Try to befriend those with car, u can enjoy this part of Malaysia better.

News has it CUCMS getting rid of 80+ of first year batch students ?

I wonder...

since CUCMS have Homeopathy program, do the MBBS and B.Pharm students ridicule those homeopaths-to-be students?
(I know I will be one if I were to study in CUCMS alongside them -  )

I cannot, for the life of me, CANNOT understand how anyone can turn to homeopathy for any reason whatsoever. It basically involves nothing more than sweet talk and dispensing overpriced water for goodness sake.

wonder why one needs a degree to know how to dilute chemicals to plain water.....

Please don't abuse this thread. This is not a good place for you to discuss this. Thank you! If one really care about the benefits of patients should give proper advice and properly educate the patients about the treatment but not keep doing those things that are no benefit at all or doing something that can't change the current trend or situation.

I have no comments about this course because i know little about it. I am not sure whether homeopathy is useful or not.

water is essential for life. I guess homeopathy is stressing on that point.
techniques to dilute chemicals into water from fountain of youth =) but grats to cucms though, they're the first in msia to offer such course.

I disagree. It is in the best interest of the public for the fraudulent nature of homeopathy to be exposed. The opportunity cost of delaying actual medical treatment in favour of bogus ones such as homeopathy is too great to be neglected, which is why I find it highly disturbing for a medical/pharmaceutical school to simultaneously offer a course in homeopathy. It's no different from a church preaching atheism or a history teacher claiming the non-existence of the Holocaust.

What is the logic of CUCMS offering such program along side MBBS and B.Pharmacy? I believe you told us in the past that you might ask the reason from your Uni.
Well?

Hey Brachial Plexus, did you mention those things above on behalf on MBBS (WA) , or just your own thoughts?
U need to bear in mind complementary medicine needs to be embraced and patient WILL STILL USE IT REGARDLESS.
I have friends who are medstudent/doctors that believe in homeopathy, not that i believe in them, but i dont disregard it like u do.
Have u had lectures yet on complementary medicine? They should have some professor of herbal medicine/complementary meds/homeopathy or something.

I hope when u meet ur patients in hospital and u came across such patients, do keep an open mind on it, or else UWA will kill u zz.
