i think the jury is out here.....

gmc will accredit the degree, so it will be allowed for provisional registration with gmc for the purpose of f1 and f2....

how the final year students will fit into the new system of f1 application and placement is unknown....there will be a test final year students in uk have to sit for nowadays....the score together with their final results will be used in ranking of applicants to the deaneries....

they do take in img into f1....and at the moment, it appears the available f1 places surpasses the number of graduating doctors from uk.....at least for 2012....

the other unknown is how ukba will look at this, whether they will issue tier 4 visas for non uk graduates for f1.....currently f1/f2 doctors gets extension of their existing tier4 student visas when offered f1......

i think most monash msia students already know that....especially those who have applied direct entry into oz med schools.....the cut off between the clayton and sunway campus is like a world apart.....

Funding and assumed (rightly or wrongly) possibilities of having wider "training" (clinical years?) access to its stable of hospitals.

Wow you're fast! I'm actually in a grad entry MBBS so we've started a small amount of weekly training in the hospital since the beginning of year 1. I've also recently completed a 2 weeks General Paeds attachment over my last break, but I totally get what you mean about enjoying the long holidays! Just trying to perhaps look out for an attachment of a week or two to see how the healthcare setting in Malaysia is like in comparison to Aus.

Looks like I'll resort to the unofficial way then....   

A levels results out this week. Hope all UK med applicants with conditional offers meet the requirements! Apparently UCAS received about 90,000 med applicantions for  2012/2013. This figure was then "trimmed" down to about 20,000 competing for about 7,500 places in the 31 medical schools.

It was very foolish to mislead and misrepresent in the first place

Sounds promising, particularly the "eligible for provisional registration as a doctor..........UK General Medical Council"

In the spirit of "anyone can be a doctor", there's also this:

Hello! I'm currently an A-Levels student and I'm looking forward to studying Medicine in the UK or Singapore. =P

Is there anyone here who is studying in NUS Medicine from A-levels? Because it seems that my actual results will only be out after the application deadline. The website says that SAT is needed for ppl like me but this pathway in inapplicable for Medicine. So I guess that the only way for me to apply for NUS is to wait for another year?

I'm currently narrowing down my university options as I will need to send in my UCAS soon. Anyone here would like to suggest their UK university and share their experiences?

Yup, I've been there. Would like to get the opinions of Malaysian students too because most ppl from TSR are UK locals if not mistaken. Yea, I've written my PS but still some tuning to do. Sadly, I didn't do so well for my UKCAT. I'm actually considering places like Belfast, Manchester, Southampton. But I haven't really narrowed down my choices yet. Thanks 

Huge Malaysian presence in Uni of Liverpool this year.
