why?

the listing of ihh, which owns imu, will have a negligible financial impact on the operations of imu....

it is not possible for clinical training to take place in private hospitals in the present msian context.....

recent news about the private sector undertaking postgraduate training is just hot air...

Netter is pretty good for atlas.

wow....they are desperate.....enrolment must be dismal.....

and the big selling point?....'opportunity for periods of study in the uk'.....

because historical barber-surgeons were not considered doctors, and called mr. by the physicians...

the barber surgeon colleges dates back centuries, the first being the rcs edinburgh, given the royal charter by king james in 1505 (not kidding)....

for the first 3+ centuries they were not considered doctors by the physicians of the day, and the term mr. used, in a condescending way.....

when formal medical education was established to include surgery, in the 19th century, the usage of mr. persist for barber surgeon fellows.....

it is still used in the british isles and ireland, and some commonwealth countries.....

it's use is traditionally restricted to fellows of the 4 historical barber-surgeon colleges, ie edinburgh, england, glasgow and ireland...but the australiasian college has also adopted the practice...

there is reverse snobbery now, as surgeons proudly use that title as a badge of honour that they are 'higher' than mere doctors!

however, ironically, in msia, masters graduates in surgery from local unis (um/ukm/usm) have used that title, although it is inappropriate, as they are not fellows of the barber-surgeons.....you know, tumpang glamour a bit...

only if they are fellows of the ancient barber-surgeon colleges....the others should NOT be using that title.....

i usually pointedly call them dr. xxx instead of mr. xxx.....

Good to know another pathway but for a high cost education its better to exercise caution.

As a Malaysian, I would prefer one that is at least recognised by our own gomen.

they will be img's, but since it is gmc recognised, probably need not sit for the plab....

for non eu residents, they will have to fight with the sub-continent imgs for places...

the question is, what happens if a british graduate with this degree.....what happens.....

Doing biology will help u understand those mitosis stuff but when u're working, who cares about mitosis all those stuff?!

In your clinical years, ur examiner wont ask u about mitosis as well..

In your HO training, it's totally diff story.. so A-Level or STPM subjects are useless when u go into clinical years and beyond.. unless u wanna do research when u graduate la..

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?
