Is it possible to be a doctor if you're scared of blood? What i mean is it possible to overcome the blood phobia under rigorous training

Isn't there an understanding in place that those West Malaysians completing housemanships in East Malaysia gets priority in being allocated MO slots in W.M big cities/hospitals of their choice ?

Hey guys, Ive recently got my SPM result and thankfully I got straight As- 8A+ 1A
It've always been my dream to pursue studies in abroad (I know, typical kids trying to go overseas) Am I pushing my ideal too high cause there seems to be no more scholarship offering medical studies abroad???
My last hope was Yayasan Khazanah but they no longer send medical students abroad    but the YK representative said Newcastle Uni do send some third or fourth years to the branch in UK < can anyone confirm if this is true

still lurking here?...i thought you are way past that....

both monash malaysia and numed degrees are not recognised in singapore...

while the numed degree is recognised by gmc, there is no option to do fy in uk at this point...whether brexit will make a difference, remains to be seen...

monash msia degree is recognised by amc/ahpra...and every year a few graduates do get intern jobs in oz...but it gets more difficult...i don't know of any that got jobs this year, because even those graduating in oz itself are not guaranteed jobs

the profession of doctors is under the dibp watch list, and may possibly be removed from the sol either this year, or next year (july is their new cycle month)....because there is no more shortage of doctors, and curtin starts their first intake this year....if that happens, then not only monash msia graduates cannot get jobs, but international students graduating from onshore oz med schools will also not be able to get a work visa to work after graduating....

Spore has a list of recognised med schools....Check their website....

For offshore programmes, the condition for recognition is that the clinical component of the course must be done in the home country....Hence both numed and Monash msia not recognised...

They will give conditional registration to doctors with post graduate qualifications like MRCP/MRCS irrespective of the primary qualification...

Thanks for the heads up....This definition is better, as it involves assessing a particular campus and programme rather than blanket non recognition....It also recognise some unis have different med school within the same country....

And it potentially allow offshore branches to be recognised in future....

Monash is in the midst of converting their MBBS to The Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD)  and will go thru revaluation by the respective country medical council .
  I wonder this would make it recognised by Singapore ?

the ntu/imperial med school only graduate their first batch in 2019...and then in small numbers....spore obviously has no intention of training enough doctors themselves....so they will continue to take in img...and they know they have a steady supply, all ready and paid for by others (gov, parents), queuing up to "volunteer"....

tpleong's question being representative of so many....eyeing and wanting to go work in spore...lol

but as ntu ramp up the numbers, the need for img will ease....and they may even be more selective....eg may drop um/ukm, as they appear to have problems with these graduates....

There are alot of bursaries and scholarships as well for singaporeans doing medicine overseas so alot of opportunities for their locals to come back and fill the spaces.

As what you mentioned, care to elaborate what problems they are   
I thought UM and UKM produce good quality students.

Beginning 2013/14 academic year,NTU/Imperial took in about 50 ish students, so first batch would graduate by  mid 2018, albeit small numbers.
SMC used to recruit about 600-700 fresh MBBS graduates per year, including 300-350 or so of NUS and Duke-NUS combined.
Overseas trained non-citizens was about 300ish.

Where do you get the stats for this

While we have a surplus of doctors (untrained), the UK has the opposite problem. I've just watched "Confessions of a Junior Doctor".

haha DGHs like northampton are facing tons of pressure due to fewer junior docs and rota gaps.
Personally I havent been there yet but the other DGHs around east midlands (and whole of uk potentially) face similar issues such as one HO and one reg does the on call for the whole hospital and etc
