Do these two unis have human cadavers for their medical faculty?
Cadeveric dissections aren't really as important as people think they are. I didn't find them particularly useful and unless you are extremely partial to the surgical sciences, most doctors forget a good chunk of their anatomy by the time they enter clinical practice anyway. The important bits of anatomy that you'll need for all specialties can be very easily learnt without the help of human cadavers. As such, this is really quite a trivial aspect in the selection of medical schools.QUOTE(Archmage Warlic @ Mar 25 2015, 07:31 PM)
Allow me to introduce you to a third option: Quest International University Perak
Before I begin, allow me to warn you that although the medical course in this university has been given approval and a provisional accreditation, a full accreditation cannot be given as a full accreditation can only be given once the university has produced graduates. As of now, the first batch of medical students in this university are still in their third year, currently going through clinical rotations in Hospital Seri Manjung. Also, the university still does not have a full campus on its own, so right now the classes are held at three separate buildings in Ipoh.
With that being said, the university does have several cadavers for teaching and learning purposes, which I estimate to be around ten to twelve. A small number of body parts are reserved to keep them in pristine condition for display / examination purposes, but students are free to use the remaining cadavers for learning purposes as they see fit. Basically, this university is not lacking in terms of teaching materials (cadavers).

My home back in Ipoh is about 500m from QUIP's main campus and let me assure you, it is quite a sorry excuse for a university, let alone a medical school. It has no proper campus, with it's main block occupying a few middle stories of an old Wisma. As for the 'medical school', it is housed in what used to be an old gymnasium that was renovated. Quite an underwhelming sight to be honest. They plaster their advertisements shamelessly all over Ipoh on posters and streetlights, and if a school has to resort to that to attract students, I dare not imagine the actual state of their courses. QUIP is also another medical school that 'magically' popped-up from the ground with plenty of political strings attached.
I would strongly advise people to think twice about studying at QUIP. Especially for medicine.
