@notyetready

wat interview u went for? mbbs or pharm?

Oh well, it's foundation program followed by mbbs afterward

so they've promised u mbbs after ur foundation? read from page 7 or 8 or so to see what's the issue here with cucms.

Yeah, I went through page 7 and 8

About promising, they didn't exactly promise me anything, they just said that
my foundation performance will determine whether I join the MBBS program or not

like i said many times, they should ban 'foundation' pathways into medical courses........everybody MUST do a proper standardised pre-u..........

How much of a higher chance does one get if he/she were to join a foundation course as compared to someone who has taken the regular pre-u?

the issue is how to standardise the pre-u qualifications and results so candidates can be compared, and the best chosen......there is NO transparency in how foundation studies are graded (since it is all internal exams).....how they actually compare with stpm/a-levels/sam/ausmate/matrik.............

foundation allows med schools to select people based on money (availability of) rather than quality, without anyone knowing.........or at least they think nobody knows.......

the best itps med schools do NOT have foundation studies..........

For those who run foundation studies, even their MBBS degrees are questionable!

may i know what are the requirements for BPharm?

a pass in their foundation programme with good grades.

Hi TS,
MY gf studied A-level and is interested to take Bpharm course in cucms.
is there any scholarship for excellent students to apply?

Update so far is like this...

MMC has given them VERBAL accreditation only for their graduating batch of 2006 as an 'emergency procedure'
written accreditation in black and white is expected to be delivered on a golden platter in 3 months time
(thanks to some FAT CABLES being used)

for subsequent batches, MMC will come yet again to evaluate them and then decide if they will be given accreditation and for how long

at the moment, it is unsure if CUCMS will be allowed to take in new students for MBBS this year
just wait and see how FAT their CABLES are...

as for the graduating batch of 2006, their final exam results were held ransom by the university
they were supposed to do a 'public apology' for their demonstration before their transcripts can be released

as for the issue with lecturers
the founding dean of medicine, Prof Dr Mohammed Hatta's position is being threatened
he will be evicted as dean if he does not bend to the will of the corrupt president
other star lecturers have expressed their desire to leave the university by the end of this year (2011)
while CUCMS is hiring more lecturers, none would come even close to the experience and passion of those who are leaving
the founding lecturers are slowly being kicked out of the very university they helped start...

as for the excess students in the earlier issue
they were sent to other universities and have to repeat the whole of their first year since CUCMS is not recognized by other universities
these students cannot complain as they are fully funded by MARA and JPA and are bound by these "decisions"
there is no such thing as credit transfer, not even for foundation students
if CUCMS is not allowed to take in medical students for 2011, their foundation graduates would be pushed towards pharmacy or traditional and complimentary medicine (TCM)

that's all for now folks...

well that's a bummer. I'm sure a lot of people will be pissed about this if it were to happen. Hope they wont shove their students into homeopathy. Makes it much clearer that the school is still in hot water, and people should avoid it, at least for the time being. Foundation is really a no go for courses like medicine. =/

You can get MINDEF scholarship for CUCMS

Did a homeopath just 'resurrected' my post on homeopathy? I'm still against it even after two years of that post...

That matter aside, how many cucsm medical students took legal action againts their x-uni? They have lost a year after all, will MARA or JPA simply bare the cost for that year??...

Nobody is free enough to take legal actions.

So far, cases of few students being refunded is heard, MARA/JPA students are relocated, FAMA students are ignored and forced to stay on an unrecognized university and I guess the situation is pretty much the same.

Pharmacy is recognized though.

MBBS is still pending year by year recognition basis. Which is ridiculous for a med school that is supposed to train out Doctors that saves life, not doctors by qualifications.

Hi,

Dean of CUCMS is Abdul Latiff right? How is he as a dean?

yeap. new dean. from prof hatta. im no med student there. but all i can say that hes quite a figure.

CUCMS's Foundation in Science starts in July, right? If I missed July, do I have to wait a whole year or is there a way to just dive right in? I really like CUCMS but I can't afford to wait one whole year to get into their foundation.

Hi, I'm attending an interview in CUCMS next month for Bachelor in Pharmacy. Just wondering what type of test and questions I'll get. Can guys help me?
