i have a lot of problem understanding postings here, due to very bad sentence structures, bad grammar, and wrong use of words......and this is symptomatic of the general poor command of english amongst msian students....

msian doctor training suffers from 2 major flaws....

first, too many med schools have opened, without regards for quality, both in the syllabus, teachers, and students......the fact that all the new med schools are private, for profit businesses compounds the matter further, with intake of very academically weak students with money.....

this problem is compounded further by there being too many foreign med schools recognised (some 300 odd).....giving rise to a very large cohort of msians studying overseas.......about 1000 in each of russia and egypt......and another 1000 odd from indonesia/india/bangladesh/etc......

the 2nd major flaw is, there is no control over who these med schools select for their courses......therefore, they will admit as many as possible (and like cucms, MORE than they are legally allowed to), as every student is money......foreign 3rd world med schools will admit as many as possible, as they are very good source of income, and they are not cocnerned about the quality of students/eventual doctors, as almost NONE will stay back to work in these countries....

and since many very good, straight a's students are poor, and cannot afford the fees, they cannot enter, and weak b or c grade students with money gets accepted.....the new mmc rule is an attempt to correct this flaw.....

even the ipta med schools are flawed, in compliance with the nep, to take in more matrik students, many of whom are weak students with inflated marks.....

like i said, if you want to know how properly to select and train doctors, look at how spore/uk/oz select......and the calibre of students they have......no b grade student will even think about applying, let alone c grade......and a thread like this will not exist in their education forums.......

Not only will B grade student not think about applying, the A grade student will also not be thinking of applying..it's only for the top 3-5% of the A+ grade student, that is assuming one scores well for ISAT/UMAT and the interviews by various universities. If I am to choose between a local grad intern/houseman and one from Sg/uk/oz to attend to me, the choice is obvious. No offence to the local grads, but this is how it is, and sadly the really good local grads are not differentiated, not at intern/HOs level.
