Hey there!
Was wondering is it hard to enter as a graduate for MBBS programme in Malaysia? Maybe thinking of applying to Australia too biggrin.gif
After doing loads of research, i've seen alot of ppl opt for graduate entry into medicine.
I'm actually planning to do biomed before medicine as i fail to meet the requirement for most unis sad.gif
and idw to do foundation again :l
Also, with a degree in biomed, i actually thought of maybe being a lecturer, furthering my studies in masters or even phd. (provided im no longer interested in med but ive a passion for med!)
I do am aware that with a biomed degree, my job prospects are quite narrow, more towards sale D:
Well, in your own opinion, can you guys give me some advice on whether i'm on the right path?
Thanks in advance smile.gif

In Malaysia.... there was a Graduate Entry medical program in collaboration with John Hopkins Uni.... but its no more already + added humiliation to our country.... (also it costs Rm1 million for tuition fee alone).

If you choose to do medical program in Malaysia, you will have to enter the 5 years normal medical program using your BSc. Biomed in one of our various IPTS that we have.

... or if you are unable to gain admission into UK/Australian graduate entry medical program...

You can opt for Poland.

My collegues have graduated from Warsaw Medical University's 4 years graduate entry medical program and currently serving as MOs.

Google it up.... or dig deeper into this sub forum...

Note - I am BSc.Biomed (Hons) + MBBS holder... currently a 'slave' in one of our major hospitals.

Time isn't a barrier!
But my parents are just really conserned about it  cry.gif  as it takes a really long time to get to where I want to be
I actually considered graduate entry as i do not want to retake foundation and it's actually quite a waste of time imo.
I assumed that you studied medicine yourself?
May I know where you studied? biggrin.gif
How long has it been?

You don't need to take Foundation studies if you already have a Bachelors Degree.

However you will need to have at least the minimum CGPA requirement from your BSc. in order to gain admission into a medical program.

For a 4 years Graduate-Entry medical program you will need a minimum of CGPA 3.3 and for a 5 years normal medical program, a CGPA of 3.0 is needed.

See here:

http://mmc.gov.my/v1/docs/Min_Entry_Requir...d_30.7.2013.pdf

Do note that a Biomedical program runs around 3-4 years, by the final semesters you are expected to do your research/final year project prior to graduating...

if you manage to get into a Graduate entry medical program... it will be another 4 years.... so it will be 7-8 years before you can get a medical degree...

If you are determined to do medicine... the fastest way will be via the 1year 'Foundation' program (which I disapprove) then to medical degree program...
