QUOTE(zeng @ Apr 11 2017, 05:35 PM) Isn't there an understanding in place that those West Malaysians completing housemanships in East Malaysia gets priority in being allocated MO slots in W.M big cities/hospitals of their choice ? YUP, that's what I understand & told by people at the ministry

QUOTE(limeuu @ Apr 15 2017, 04:53 PM) Thanks for the heads up....This definition is better, as it involves assessing a particular campus and programme rather than blanket non recognition....It also recognise some unis have different med school within the same country.... And it potentially allow offshore branches to be recognised in future.... Monash is in the midst of converting their MBBS to The Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD) and will go thru revaluation by the respective country medical council . I wonder this would make it recognised by Singapore ?

QUOTE(limeuu @ Aug 15 2017, 07:14 PM) The BBB grade is only because of the 2011 mmc minimum qualification guidelines... otherwise they will accept lower to fill places.... In Russia Indonesia Egypt, d and e also can.... otherwise do a "Foundation" and miraculously get a and b..... I don't think they even actually do the foundation, they just issue them a foundation certificate .

QUOTE(foreignbornmd @ Nov 16 2017, 04:53 AM) Thank you! My only problem is to get connected to those who are serious about coming to the US for residency. I am available if anyone wants to PM me about specific questions or details. I have worked hard for 10+ years, and I am seeing evidence of my success (net worth = > 2 million!). However, it is definitely getting harder for international graduates to get into residency programs because Medicare did not increase residency spots when there are more US medical students graduating. As such, there are a lot of preparation ahead of time in order to be a competitive candidate. The good thing about United States is once you get into residency + pass Boards = attending. Even in family medicine or internal medicine, that means a guaranteed income of minimum 175-200K, most of the time, you can earn more if you work hard. Especially with challenges in getting into specialist slots in UK and we all know the issues trying to become a specialist in Malaysia, this is a good option for many medical school graduates. Anyway, I hope this is helpful to you all.  Has asked my son to get in touch with you should he has questions regarding residency . he has just registered with Kaplan to do his USMLE.
