Lots of ppl out there have no idea how's the situation in the hospitals right now. To be a good doctor, you need the necessary knowledge and good exposure to all the clinical scenarios, procedures, protocols and the way the hospital runs.

What the current house officers lack is the latter. Of course the situation is even worse for graduates from Russia, Indonesia, etc. With their poor knowledge and poor exposure, these doctors have been given the license to kill.

Do you guys realise that without MCA's intervention they would have only have had actuarial science? 

What does that tell you about the system in place now? 

Even top students do not get the choice that they want.  They are only getting it now after MCA intervened.  Why is this so?

yup yup.........

the head of the doctor that retired told me that there's so many doctors now.......not like last time

and i know from HO and MO that the OT system will be replaced by shift system............so basically this means......there is a lot of doctors....maybe too much for the gov to handle liao

actuarial science actually a course that also hard to get..there's alot of top student who choose UM medicine but the place for it is limited..if u think about it almost all top student wan to be a doctor and im sure most of it will apply for UM..so these 2 girls just use backdoor to get in..

I know actuarial science is difficult to get in. 

But my point is they are amongst the top scorers yet they couldn't get the course that they want without intervention from MCA.

That's right...starting Sept with the exception of HUKM (October), all hospitals with house officers will start the shift system. Shorter working hours, no on call allowance.

It's a sad situation. Seriously dentistry is the way to go. Less competitive, not saturated and you get to treat patients as well.

yea cuz there's alot of top scorers now..so that's create the new grade A+ for spm and use the 10% cocuriculum system to find the best among the best..

Best of the best? What is this, a merit based policy?

What about the Bumiputera? 

And don't forget pharmacists. They are quite in high demand now, I hear.

ugh..........

in malaysia they are mere convenient shop with license to sell drugs.......

without a law that says only pharmacist are able to dispense drug.........nothing to look out for actually

hey....i even see pharmacy selling chips, ice-cream, junk food..........yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh....F that crap

Heard on the radio, they were reducing housemen working hours so that the housemen can get adequate rest and would not be stressed out. 

Or perhaps the large number of housemen has something to do with this too.
