Closer to 3 months than 6 
Very happy with the program
. As I mentioned before, since we have a smaller batch compared to our seniors (100 us, 130 Year 2, 300+ Clayton), I found that PBL sessions are more effective. But then it could be just my group There are bad apples of course, but I guess the quality of medical students overall hv been diluted by the number of seats available @ other medical schools as well.
In comparison to Clayton, as I mentioned, we're able to access their lecture recordings but not vice versa. There are a lot of good lecturers in Clayton that I enjoy listening too (e.g Eizenberg, Kerr, Nandurkar, Bullock) in addition to good lecturers in Sunway. I especially enjoy the fact that tutorials were conducted by specialists in that field (e.g histology/pathology tutorials by pathologist, immune system by immunologist, HIV by HIV specialist etc.) instead of some random teachers.
The course has some downsides - probably no internship opportunity in Australia despite being accredited by AMC,[
astronomical tuition fees compared to other schools and for some people - no cadavers.
But then I try not to get too excited with being in Monash. If my government loan is not approved, I'm going to have to go to UTAR instead
Not much of a downside as with how things are at this point, most internationals will not have internship spots upon graduation. Of course Monash Sunway grads will be much lower in the "chain".Very happy with the program
