QUOTE(foreignbornmd @ Nov 16 2017, 04:53 AM) Thank you! My only problem is to get connected to those who are serious about coming to the US for residency. I am available if anyone wants to PM me about specific questions or details. I have worked hard for 10+ years, and I am seeing evidence of my success (net worth = > 2 million!). However, it is definitely getting harder for international graduates to get into residency programs because Medicare did not increase residency spots when there are more US medical students graduating. As such, there are a lot of preparation ahead of time in order to be a competitive candidate. The good thing about United States is once you get into residency + pass Boards = attending. Even in family medicine or internal medicine, that means a guaranteed income of minimum 175-200K, most of the time, you can earn more if you work hard. Especially with challenges in getting into specialist slots in UK and we all know the issues trying to become a specialist in Malaysia, this is a good option for many medical school graduates. Anyway, I hope this is helpful to you all.  Has asked my son to get in touch with you should he has questions regarding residency . he has just registered with Kaplan to do his USMLE. |

QUOTE(foreignbornmd @ Nov 18 2017, 03:02 PM) Thanks. The Irish scenario is not new. Re BMA’s article, I read it differently...as it seems to have the effect of doctor shortage, with some EU doctors leaving and likely continue to leave. |

For Malaysians in particular, Brexit or no Brexit, the working conditions in UK are better than what we have over here. Anyway, its mere speculation from the survey and decisions can only be made after the Brexit. As it is, initially most of the banks are thinking about locating to Europe but the European Commission found out that that the plans only involve something like a representative office with most of the staff still locating in London. London has always been a favorite place for migrants and investors and will remain so. |

QUOTE(zeng @ Dec 4 2017, 10:05 AM) Does statistics show this scheme is popular UK/US trained IMG's ? this cmi was originally started with an annual federal budget of 10mil to fund 100 internship places...to cater for the lack of normal intern jobs over the last 5 years, due to increased graduating doctors (doubled over the last 10 years)....target group was imternational students in australia.... (note that commonwealth supported med students are all guaranteed internship places...ie all locals in csp are assured of jobs) it was never fully subscribed....partly because the number of normal jobs have increased... it was NEVER meant for imgs..... the present relaxation to include imgs is to cater for 2 groups of foreign doctors who are eligible for provisional registration in oz....the monash msia med school and the uq ochsner clinical school in new orleans usa....as well as some who passed the amc exams.... |

IMU students transferred to Australia were not covered by CMI.....now they are, at least for 2018.

That's real good news for local Monash Malaysia with this relaxations. In the event CMI vacancies being still available after allocations to Monash Malaysia/UQ Ochsner med graduates, would all the balance be offered to all qualified IMG's ? Am I right to suppose so ? |

QUOTE(wargreymon12 @ Dec 7 2017, 04:44 AM) Can't speak for Foreignbornmd but I would speculate she was offering social voluntary advice/tips on US Residency Program as her contribution to lowyat/Malaysian community. I'd extended her blogspot address to some of my friends who may need her help to find out more on US Residency. This post has been edited by zeng: Dec 8 2017, 10:09 AM |

The msian specialist masters is a "course work" program, not exam or thesis based masters....you will need to put in that 4 years of work based training.....in that sense, the term "masters" is deceiving....
You will need to enroll as a full time student of the relevant ipta....
The "scholarship" part is that money the MoH pays to the ipta in fees, and the salary you continue to receive even the year(s) when you don't work in the MoH during the 4 years....
The so called kpj program is completely conducted in gov hospitals....it is NOT possible to do training in private hospitals...but you pay instead of being paid...
