Are you serious?? LOL

Thought this thread is pretty much dead. Wonder how many going into first year medical school in the UK this year.

how does getting a housemanship job equate to 'internship training is still not that bad here'.....?

how much better are government students against private students (let's say in the top 40 out of 200 students) ? are we really that bad?

To those who had to learn Russian, where did you attend your classes?

I'm not a current/prospective medical student, just asking for centers or courses that reach that level of language proficiency needed for university level.

The only place I found was the one in Jalan Pinang. Asked here to see whether there are other places offering recognized courses since a sizable number of med students study in Russia (I heard they study the language for a year before going off?).

Guys,
in the medical field, once you graduate you can choose to specialize... eg becoming a surgeon, physician, paediatrician. you can remained 'unspecialize' and remain a humble General Practioner(GP), because in Malaysia you can be a GP without any specialization. The you can sub specialize even further eg cardiologist, neurosurgeon etc. These are specialization above the specialization after graduating. You can still further specialize eg paediatric cardiothoracic surgeon...etc but that will only be for the few of us...
with regards to graduating in Msia or outside, I think the prospect of specializing is good in Msia or even outside, just that you need to have the drive to do it. Believe me guys, when you see secondary school mate who did business becoming the COO of Affin Bank, and you are still struggling to finish your subspecialization, then you understand....this is the truth,
As this is topics is for medical students or potential students, just know that medicine is never about money (even some of my friends are earning millions) or glamour, it is a calling that demand sacrifices from you you never imagine possible!
Godspeed...

Is there an updated list of medical degrees recognised by the MMC? I can only find the 2009 updated list.

A little clarification.

At CUCMS, there's a side note saying

"Period of recognition extended from 31/12/2010."

What does that supposed to mean?

Is there actually a recognition or?

Thanks

I thought with their accreditation fiasco years ago, they are given year by year recognition for the next few years rather than full recognition without restriction?

Oh well, again this shows how blatant the rules can be bent and etc.

@cckkpr, how do the med students in UGlasgow know how they rank in their cohort for the respective years?  I know during the final year, there are decile rankings for all unis.

Ok, thanks. I think it's good to know where one stand. 5 of the Malaysians had to go back early for resits, at relative's uni.

Sorry pod. Kindly excited today because I spoke to a doctor who is 50+ this year. He told me that he could make more money in Malaysia compared to UK. He is a kidney specialist. But I thought about it and I am very curious. If doctors could make more in Malaysia, why is everyone so eager to become a doctor in the UK? He also told me that private doctors are very few. I am just asking here to verify what he said. Is it true?
Thanks.

It's not about the fame or money.

It's about helping people.
