Ukraine has already set the precedent with quite a number from the Arts stream and also not meeting the minimum credit requirements.

If you go to a gomen hospital and the doctor starts writing the same prescription as what the previous doctor gave, before you even sit down, and there is no physical examination, your guess is as good as mine where the fella comes from.

I wonder how many more colleges or universities have been given licences to operate but yet to commence operations.

Quite a number of these licences will be put up for sale in the very near future in the name of consolidation.

This may be by way of CDs given to each student and lectures by way of powerpoint presentation beamed from somewhere or by Skype by a little bird holed up somewhere.

We are moving to the DIY area!

Many years back, the gomen issued quite a lot of tax practitioners licence to one ethnic group to balance up the racial quota after only 6 months training. The end result was that after one year, less than 5% were still practicing and even then these were "loaned" out to other practitioners who were unable to get such licence.

Lets say for medical graduates, after housemanship, the gomen no longer provides auto employment for these graduates and they are "released" to fend for themselves in the business world. Surely, those who are no good will find difficulties surviving. Would such a scenario gives would-be medical students serious thoughts before signing up?

As such, awareness of the alternative areas other than clinical medicine would encourage MORE students to take up med school than otherwise!

It is also a fact that quite a number of medical graduates who excel in their chosen career have moved on to do research esp in big pharmaceuticals in the US. Nearer to home and across the causeway, good researchers are also encourage to do their part with substantial funding and good incentives being thrown in.
