Sheffield, Dundee, Leicester, Queen's Belfast.. this is what I know. Off course it's no comparable to entry standards of Oxbridge etc.

there is a website which lists the conditional offer grades of all uk med schools, unfortunately i can't find it now.....

what i remember from the list, which was based on the 2011/12 round (and the beginning of the a* grade which was first awarded the year before) was that while most med schools was still offering aaa, several have already started asking for at least 1 a*, starting with oxbridge which ask that for practically all courses....

i am quite sure this round (13/14), the majority of med schools will already be asking for a*aa....that is still a pretty wide net, encompassing about maybe 12% of all a levels candidates....

there will still be the odd low offers, for people they really want....ie with attributes other than sheer academic powess.....eg sportsman, musicians etc...

for prospective medical students who have poor academic results and a 'passion' to be a doctor and wanting to enrol in unrecognised med schools, do note that the new mmc guideline now prohibit such students from attempting the mqe if the don't satisfy the minimum qualifications for entry into med schools....basically, you pay for a useless piece of paper, you can never be registered as a doctor...

it's about time....and i think it is still too lax....other countries restrict their med students to straight a students or >atar95....

Hi guys! I am an Alevel student who is going to be sitting for AS in October. I would like to enquire about interviews. I have already taken my UKCAT and IELTS, getting a 767.5 average and a band 8 respectively.

I am applying for Cambridge, Imperial, Kings and Manchester. Can fellow medical students shed some light on the interviews, your experiences and advices?

Minister Idris Jusoh said today that Malaysian students studying medicine, dentistry and pharmacy in Egypt can transfer credits to local universities, one year below current level.

Even then, are they up to par?

How is the education standard in Egypt compared to that in Russia?

Just conducting a survey guys, normally you guys purchase your stethoscope during 1st year itself or during clinical year?

SE II? or cardiology III?

Actually I think medical students should use cardio 3 steths. It's loud so we can pick up signs more easily. Moreover a stethoscope can last very long, that extra dollars will even put in the long run.

It's just like some doomsayers forecasting the imminent collapse of the economy.
Someone please share with me which professional group unable to find employment or fail to make a living. Doctors are still among the highest professional earners and even if there is a drop of 50%, it is still comparable with other professions.

I read one article..said that ho salary starting already rm5300..when become mo..the cheapest salary rm7600..so jeolous..i want to do medic too la if like this..

the crowd goes wild!!!           

Medicine is an easy field hey? Just advice patients to 'rest more, more fluids' or 'get me an CXR' and charge them RM80-200. Easy money, we should all just stop what we are doing, get into a med school and be a doctor! And start earning heaps!

Yeah..and doctor need to wear coat somemore..if u buy expensive beg,watch,or cloth..u will think many time to wear in hospital..just no point..not bcause of the white coat..but the germ the blood will ruin your expensive cloth..

You'll want a smart phone once you start housemanship. Oxford handbook doesnt cut it anymore, but sarawak handbook, paeds protocol and Frank Shann chart are very useful survivor tools.

If you can afford uptodate or other EBM apps, thats even better. I was forced to buy a smartphone as I was frequently outgunned by my peers. When specialist ask question, they expect fast answer,i.e: hide behind your friend and start googling.

monash mbbs grads from monash msia cant practice in aus?

this internship thing... is it the housemanship period?

it cant be done at any hospitals?

aus not msia
yes aus

Remembered you mentioned about Auscat. If our M'sian students are not required to sit for it for Monash Malaysia, how one can work in Australia ? Is that another issue they face as they did not qualify for this exam therefore, not in the list to work there ? Thanks.
