Stethoscope highly recommended by clinical lecturers and doctors would be the 3M Littman classic SE II. Price would be around 200 plus. Well, in terms of qualities it does vary. Sound would be better amplified and less noises if you're getting the more expensive stets. Our lecturer used to advice us to invest in a good stet, which can be used even after your studies.

Cause of cow dunks and the pig farms beside the campus. I freaking hate flies. Especially during their mating season. Disgusting.

hi guys. Anybody here?? New aimst student here .

dentistry, u?

Do u guys realized that the internet speed her is super fast? Sometimes my download could reach around 700+kb/s .

biotech department now hv few new lecturers, for pharm and physiotherapy now really short of lecturers.

hey bro! the problem of edge85 say will affect MBBS or not?one year foundation leh...i dont want to take a risk...i dont mean i dont trust AIMST but i just worry my future!!!! But i think that is no problem for MBBS isn it?cos mmc already recognised that should be no problem is it???????

AIMST did quite abit in holding our lecturers actually, in fact few weeks ago IMU was about to grab away 2 of our very best microbiologist and pathologist by offering a much higher salary compared to AIMST. So what the school did was to promote both of them straightaway and thank god they'll be now staying with us. We can't afford to lose them. In fact, lecturers are okay and quite sufficient for the school of medicine. Am not sure of other schools. Therefore, i'm sure that we're currently up to the standard. Yshiuan will clarify on the school of biotech while edge85 on the school of dentistry i guess.

And cedricgordon, there are no pre-med. Only the foundation programme, once you've achieved the minimum marks to enroll they you'll be offered to read medicine.

Oops. Sorry . It's called Foundation of Science. Directly after SPM.

Can I know more about it ? As in the comparison between college's A levels and this course.

And building a teaching hospital aren't as easy as establishing a dental hospital, many fields of specialty are involved.

come on bro...you are from same university is no point for arguing the quality of school....like csrulez say...AIMST is just a young university you should give it some times to prove the quality....the doctor graduate from AIMST is recognised that mean they are qualified...the(]MBBS degree is second class relative to aussie/uk and indon/russia !!!
BDS (AIMST) It's gonna be lower class anyhow.))[I]

Hey dont comment the quality of any degree although that is your own school...you comment it base on what?actually nothing...only base on what you think...your responsibility is to prove AIMST is good by get a good result and pratise the good skill when you are graduate...not just keep on arguing and criticise..what for?you are just lower down yourself everyone will keep one look down on AIMST....!!!!!oh!!!!!haiz.....Hospital???HaHa....edge85 can you behave more mature and think before you say something...Do you know to built up a hospital how hard is it?It cost a lot of money...and it need a lot of high tech devices and it required a lot of expertise?or you think it just like a LEGO can simply built up?

But from the students who enrol into medicine nowadays, it makes the profession look cheap.  Particularly with the ones who enter via the foundation of science programme....[I]
hey UM also set up a foundation what!!!The standard of local matriculation  is not much differences from the foundation as my friend told me the standard is almost the same....The local U also do the same in order to make it easier!!!is this mean the student quality will be low...no definitely no...actually STPM or A level study very much and yes it has the high standard of course but so what!!!!actually a lot of rubbish we study such as(ecosystem,variation that kind of rubbish is not use isn it?) is not required when doing  medicine or dentistry!!!so i think foundation or matriculation is actually aim for the target
accurately!!!! in addition,the priority given to the foundation student is nothing wrong...of course la...if not their study for what...it is not the same as A level or STPM which is recognised by any higher education institute...so that is reasonable!!!dont you think so?
so cheap????i don think so.....

STOP ARGUING for anything again...that is no advantages to the AIMST ...others will keep on look down on you all....dont make this seem like a kindergarden..be mature edge85...how old are you?still do that kind of silly things...you should give AIMST even more time to prove good point since it is still new and not always criticise....haiz..........

i agree with your point..especially dont base on the skin...

i think the few of us lurkers here better set up an AIMST FAQ page.

First thing any prospective AIMST student should do if they want to enquire about the course, is to call the university.

If you have anymore questions, the students in this forum are more than happy to answer the less obvious questions.

eh edge85, i bet both of us will be more active again since it's EXAM SEASON again. arrrrggghghghghghghghg..

We've got a clinical paper that covers stuff from year2-4... die lah like that=(

Semeling is a city??

Yup, indonesian and russian grads are often looked down by even consultants in m'sian govt hospitals. However, this should not happen untill his/her competency is graded below doctors who are graduated from non-indon/russian university. I think.

Oh btw, limeuu. Would like to know more about USMLE, do one has to take step 1, 2 CK CS and step 3 to obtain a medical licence in order to work in US? I've heard from my friend in IMU that upon passing step 1, one can actually do their residency in US already. Is that true? And are there any chances to do our residency in US upon graduation by escaping the 2 years housemanship and 3 years compulsory govt service? If yes, what are the procedures? Thanks a million for answering.

Edge85, McD is opening? Are you serious?

not entirely sure.....said he didn't like the atmosphere, the course......he was certainly a bright student in school.......been straight a's student, spm 9a1, 2a2 failed to get jpa scholarship.....

parents have limited finances, decided not to repeat a proper pre-u, would not have afforded imu or pmc anyway, so opted for physiotherapy instead at a ipts twinned with a 3rd tier oz uni......i think he would make a very good physiotherapist, enjoying the course now.......

case in point here, he would have been more qualified to enter medical school than a lot of others with more money........imagine taking in people with ter<80.........

i think they may have been mislead by promises of assured place in aimst......was a very sudden decision.......never asked me for my opinion......

If i go for AIMST...Can i get the hostel for one student/room? so i no need to share with others!!!! :is that possible?
