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).

I thought the clinical rotation is at Ipoh GH. I dont think they have any specialists at Seri Manjung; places like Batu Gajah, Tapah and Kampar have specialist visits maybe once a week or a fortnight.

What is the arrangement like?

Im currently in a situtation like you as Im a spm leaver 2014
I dont know how to choose between AIMST and UCSI

AIMST seldom take in students from outside their own foundation courses and UCSI do not have that many places and has also to cater to their own foundation and JPA scholars.

Look into your choices carefully and be prepared for alternatives. Of course, there are places at other not so popular universities.

There's always MAHSA/SEGI/UTAR or MSU.

UTAR has 45 or 50 places only and I think most are reserved for their own foundation students. And that's the whole purpose of having foundation studies.

Its about time, the number of medical students and universities be reduced as the number of graduates far exceed the places available.

With the new JPA policy of max 250 scholarships or better known now as loans, even better medical schools like IMU, Monash and Numed will be affected as the number of JPA scholars is quite significant.
