Haha. Yeah true but at least it gives everyone a safer "feel" now already. Anyway the facillities here are really great. It seems that we have one of the best MDL lab among the medical schools in Malaysia. Lecturers are great too. We have few popular lecturers like Dr. Bhupinder from Penang for forensic medicine. Not bad for a 6 yer old medical uni. =)

YUP! AIMST 1st batch of doctors are out d. Currently waiting for hospital posting. And we got reognised by MMC already since our 1st batch has graduated and registered with MMC. Well, is it good? That is ne question i couldn't answer you because i dunno how to evaluate agood medical university. So far what i can say is that i'm really satisfied with AIMST. We've got better facillities and good lecturers here. Our campus is huge too! Give www.aimst.edu.my a visit to get more info. =)

Hahaha! yeah sure, lending AIMST a hand to achieve their vision to be a prestigious university. XD

Hi everyone! Welcome to AIMST! So how do you guys find it there? Good? Haha. Nyways, i'm from MBBS Batch 13, ditched the orientation. Catch up with u guys after CNY! Enjoyy! =)

Enjoy ur classes then! AIMST is still new, give them some time and i'm sure one day we will be standing on a globally recognised university. Hope so. Haha. Nyways, AIMST students reunite at LYN! =)

phramacy weell i'm not too sure. but for mbbs course, it's only recognised recently on february by MMC. From wad i've observed, so far we're only ON OUR WAY for recognition by our pharmacy board as our 1st batch has not graduated yet. Not so sure tho, check out our website or give the School of Pharmacy a call. I'm sure dey will provide u with a more detailed answer. =)

Anyway yeah, i'm lovin aimst.

sure dude, welcome to aimst then. =)

50 students per intake currently. But most of the students are from our own foundation programme. =)

yeah of course you can, since A levels is also a Pre-U programme. Haha. But entry will depends on how competitive is the courses as priority will be placed for AIMST foundation students first. =)

Heyy super senior! I've been waiting for a post from one of the really senior medical batches from AIMST. Am really proud of you guy's graduation and our medical programme has finally been recognised. Still remembered that day when Prof Harcharan asked us to clap for being unofficially recognised by MMC during our microbiology introduction class just not too long ago. It seems that they are soo proud of you guys and he said dat deir efforts have finally shown up after all these years. =)

I've seen the postings for the first batch of our very own medical students, though there are 17 from aimst's official website. Looking forward to see the list of postings for you guys up soon. Alright, sosme intro, I'm currently at the lastest batch 13. Life's still quite okay and heyyy, prof Dakyakani is our biochem lecturer. In fact, most of the lecturer here treated us as if we're deir kids. Dr. Diwakar is also one of the most fatherly lecturer i've seen.

Currently our curriculum is to have only 4 CAs for 1st year excluding finals. Was so shocked when i heard you guys were having 22 exams in a year! I mean like, 22 is 6 times the amount of our exam! Well, anyways you guys have made it through in the end and reallly, the junior batches were all so proud with you guys. We're currently struggling only for our 1st CA and guess deres still a long long way to go.

Wishing you guys all de best and pleeasee do keep us updated about ur experience as a houseman in hospitals. We're pretty interested in that, really. XD

True like what jayenellial has said. You gotta contact the student recuitment division or visit their website (www.aismt.edu.my) for more info. Just an update for u guys, there were 230+ students who registered themselves for the current april 2008 batch. It's a really big batch. And kel003, dun worry on not getting a place for foundation as there had not limit the seats for foundation studies yet.

As for getalong16ex, thanks for all de kind advices. I'm sure that housemen's life is hectic but fun at the same time. Cant' wait for the clinical years to come. But one more thing, mind to let me know wads the good and BAD thing about our batch? LOL! Din expect news to spread so fast, even to super senior batches who has already graduated. XD Thanks.

Sure kel003, shall see you here for the july intake real soon. Enjoy your holidays for the time being.

And another update for LYN AIMST thread, our very own students council is coming up soon! At last, after all these years. Hopefully we students will be able to do something to make some positive changes for our very own university. =)

Congrats kel003, welcome to aimst. Shall see you around soon.

loveuallso> no worries, your result is good enough to enter the foundation programme already. Even you will find no probs to enter medicine with that kind of result, a minimum of B4 for all science subjects will do. =) And currently we only have wired LAN connection. Wireless is coming up soon, but do not know how soon will it be. haha.

bidfordun> Yes, priority will be given for foundation only IF you managed to qualify for it, which is to get good results for it. Other type of entry requirements would be other form of pre-u programme i.e. STPM, A-lvls, SAM etc.

And there are 60 students per intake, and 2 intakes per year for MBBS programme. This means that the annual intake for MBBS is 120 students currently. There will be an intake in both Jan and June. However hearing what our dean said recently, they will be having only one intake starting year 2009, which will be 200 students per intake in September. Not sure yet though. Yup, students for three batches of foundation namely the Jan, April and July batch has to fight for the seats. But every yer, not all will manage to make it to medicine, most of the time less than 60 out of 300 as not all foundation students are aiming for medicine. There are other courses like dentistry and pharmacy as well. =)

As for kel003, no worries for biotech as there has not been any limits for the number of students per intake yet. Just study, get ur results to qualify and enter the degree. Nothing to worry about.

It's been some time since i last visited this place. lol. not bad at all, aimst thread is getting popular day by day. have been busy with my continuous accessment before this, sorry guys! now i'm done with it and am back to my lovely selangor for a short 1 week break again.

hypermax, the medical programme is both recognised by MMC and LAN where our 1st and 2nd batch is already placed under government housemanship. 3rd batch will be out in few months time as dey have just finished deir final year and currently waiting for govt postings.

As for the intake, current intake is 60 students per intake and two intakes per year which is on Jan and Sept. Next year onwards it will be one intake per yer in sept which will be 200 students per intake as told by our dean. However, places are very very very limited for students who are not doing deir pre-u here at aimst. only 3% of students from other qualification such as stpm, a levels etc will be considered for the intake as dere are too many foundation leavers competing for the medical seats. And the current amount students they can take in per intake could not even accomodate deir own foundation programme leavers who have qualified for the medical course. many of them have been placed on de waiting list and asked to wait for at least a year for the next intake. Therefore, i'd recommend you if you're interested in taking up MBBS after ur spm, come do your foundation here and make sure u do well for it. AIMST is no longer like before where medicine is easy to enter, you need to strive for your seats else u'll need to wait.

As for aimst studentss, the students council has already been formed. what do you guys think? hahaa.

Wow, a very subjective issue here. Haha. I would still say that past results like spm or even pre-u won't affect the type of doctor you will become one day. Foundation/pre-u programme is only a bridge to bring you from the post-spm level over to the degree level. As long as you don't find any problems coping with the degree course later on, then the foundation programme can be considered as good. This is because that it has provided you with sufficient knowledge that you need for the latter stages in education. Therefore results is not the benchmark on how good can you be in the future, but more to how much of knowledge have you absorbed throughout your studies. Good can be defined better through one's attitude. Why is it that always only students with best result can enter competitive courses like medicine, and often it's not guranteed that they will make the best doctor when they graduate.

Limeuuu, can you confirm that only students who enter with good results make the best doctor in the society currently? Probably they can take stress better than other doctors, but are they more capable in handling patients? Can they make perfect diagnosis with great pre-u or spm results? I would like to know as i'm hoping to be a good doctor in the future as well. Thanks. =)

EQ, i truly believed that EQ is more important than IQ when it comes to working life later on. I have no idea but i've got the feeling that not all students who enter with great results will make a good doctor in the future. Majority of these so called bright students have the ability to cope well in their studies, but often they tend to be arrogant and look down on others when it comes to the society. This is probably because they think that they have a higher education level than the rest of the society or they thought have the ability to fund for their studies as medical courses are not cheap nowadays. It seems that this happens in most of the private medical school in Malaysia. Therefore sometimes i would think that if students who enter with those "not-so-great" results will make a better doctor in the future as they are willing to learn and being not so arrogant when it comes to their attitudes.

One thing i would like to know is that how a good doctor is being defined in the medical community, as Limeuu you yourself is a doctor i believed. Does that mean that medical graduates armed with the most knowledge will emerge as the best doctor? Or is it those who has good doctor-patient relationship skills? Or it is both? Which is more important when it comes to a good doctor. =)

onelove89, AIMST MBBS programme is recognised in Malaysia currently but i'm not sure on the rest of the world. I guess it should have no problem if it has been recognised by MMC. However, certain countries such as US will require foreign medical graduates to sit for their own qualification exams such as USMLE. As for patients judging the doctors, i don't think that it's through the certs but more on how competent you are. As for that, you need to gain the confidence of the patient. Harvard and Russian graduates both comes out with the same qualification, which is a doctor at the end. It will depends on how competent they are to judge how good they are. Sounded like a very subjective issue here. This is only my personal comment. Haha. Would love if anyone would like to add on to this. Thanks. =)

Therefore the only thing a private medical school can do to increase the quality of doctors produced and to earn money at the same time, is to drop out students who can't cope with the curriculum itself. Drop up rates are higher if the entry requirement is lower, i presume. The curriculum should also be updated from time to time to follow the medical trend.

onelove89, ya can check out this site for more info on our present curriculum.

Anyways, I believed i've learned alot from this forum regarding the medical profession.

LOL. OMG, first time i'm hearing students praising AIMST to this extent. Welcome to aimst Dangaioh, but seriously you will find out how rude and inefficient is our admin staffs later on throughout your studies. AIMST is a good uni btw, minus minority of few staffs esp from SAD. Haha.

S'vine866, Shirvine BPharm 3rd batch? LOL. Din expect you to register at lowyat.net. Yeahhhhhh, it should be a nice place to study but made worst by our beloved foundation mates. Nyways i prefer my room more. Hahaaa.

Got value AIMST paper? What does that mean? O.o
