yes, as long as you pay the fees, some med schools will accept ccc or lower....

which is why 2 years ago, mmc had to draw up guidelines on what the minimum qualifications should be.....and they placed 5b at spm in sciences/math and bbb at stpm/3.0 at matrik as minimum.....

that is why many ipts now cannot fill up places, as there is a lack of people with money AND minimum qualifications...they do 'accept' weaker applicants, and tell them to 'appeal' to mmc....

what happens when someone with ccc graduates with a medical degree and wants to get registration, nobody knows as yet....

the simplest solution for the ipts med schools is to conduct their own 'foundation' and give all their students '3.0'.......

these are different things......and don't confuse the two.....

any doctor from a listed uni (and there are several 'lists') can register and sit for the exams, once they satisfy pre-requisites.....

'doing specialisation (there is NO such thing as 'masters' as specialist qualification in uk) in uk' means WORKING there, and that is not possible, as the imu degree is not recognised there, therefore not registrable...albeit one can sit for the plab test and if passed, can register with gmc....

ireland is a completely different country from the uk...

the pmc irish degree is NOT recognised by the gmc....therefore no, cannot work in uk....

note that gmc is NOT mentioned....

the pmc degree has one extra country that recognises it over imu-mbbs....ie ireland....

note that it is now almost impossible for pmc graduates to get a housemanship job in ireland due shortages of places.....

the pmc irish degree is recognised in ireland...that does not mean graduates can work there, as working means finding a JOB.....which is extremely difficult now....going forward, even those internationals who studied fully in ireland may not find intern jobs in ireland, as is happening in australia, and going to happen in uk.....

1: no

2: no

3: too strict. They want minimum 3a at a levels, AND acceptable performance while at taylors....that weeds out the majority of intending students.....might as well go imu-pms(easier to get in, no need 3a, more choices) or direct entry into uk.....

i think people will have to accept that a msian medical qualification (including foreign degrees obtained in msia) means restriction to work in msia only.....forget about overseas....

exception being spore recognising um/ukm degrees.....

yes...numed graduates will be unlikely to be able to work in uk...

for those in uk med schools, all 2012 graduates who applied for fy got placements.....placement results for 2013 will only come out next month, based on the numbers, probably all will also get jobs...but projected numbers for 2014 suggest some may NOT get placement from there on....

it is (well, was) in their website...

the requirement is from st georges, not taylors...they have allocation for 5 places, but they don't have to take any, if there is none qualified....

i don't know why people are not keen....it is actually pretty easy to get 3a....some uk med schools are already requiring (still relatively easy) a*aa.....anyone with less than 3a should NOT be allowed to do medicine.....

if you don't have 3a, you are automatically excluded from the st georges pathway....

why unfair?....they are not in the business of giving 2nd chances....there are more than enough candidates with better than 3a results to choose their students from.....

i told you already, there is no such thing as a specialist masters in uk...

and i told you already, with an imu degree you cannot do postgraduate training elsewhere....

however, you can do the mrcp exam....

and 2nd question, no.....ability to register qualification is dependent on the primary qualification....therefore cannot work.....

note that these 'specialist qualifications' like mrcp, frcs, fracp etc does NOT qualify one to be a specialist in these countries....in the uk, you need the cct cert from gmc....

you already said elsewhere you want to aim for monash medicine, and want to do mufy....why are you asking again?...

there is no confusion, you just refused to believe...

the answer is still NO...

public health.....

that case by datuk hii has no basis.....he was appropriately advised, and was given the option of follow up assessment....he took the option to proceed for surgery...

steve job's situation may have influenced his decision.....

i doubt if the court will allow it to proceed....

there is one big difference between a jetliner and a human....

the jetliner is a mechanical machine and predictable....the human body is NOT....

this may be a good opportunity for medical students here to read a bit about neuroendocrine tumours in the pancrease and the issues involved in their treatment.

once you understand the issues, you will understand why sometimes (not infrequently, as tqeh noted) this happens. it is NOT wrong diagnosis, but just demonstrates the difficulties in predicting what the future may be......like many things in human lives, a judgement call is needed, and it can NEVER be always correct, unlike the check list for an aircraft.....

wait till you need dental care in oz or the us.....

they can fly into msia for a holiday, have root canal done, and still have change compared to what they need to pay at home....

so when are msians going to fly to india for dental treatment?.....

starting?.....i thought some of us have been warning long before, about what private education and ptptn loans are in reality....and the top money spinner for businessman in education is medical education.....
