i was wondering how many medical students are in LYN? Just to find out if i'm the only one busy reading forums instead of studying.

start introducing yourself by stating which medical college you in. You can also discuss the current medical college condition that you're studying, and to inform others about the pro's or con's about your college, or inquire us about the medical college you're interested in.

i'm from melaka-manipal.

If the thread is strictly on this, it will definitely benefit the community. Remember, avoid 1 liners and unnecessary spams.

If i'm not mistaken, they have just opened the application for Manipal& Mangalore's Kasturba Medical College (which includes dentistry) . It'll be closed on early May 2007. I got news from my friends that international students have a special quota if you would want to enter the college, and is based on "first come first serve" basis if you have met the Malaysian government and their requirement.So do apply fast if you are interested. drool.gif

On the other note, the application for Melaka-manipal has closed cry.gif . Kasturba in manipal can be an alternative choice for those who couldn't get into melaka-manipal. It's actually the same thing compared , just that it's a little tougher and you have to be there longer. Most of all, you'll be studying under the same roof as us! rclxms.gif

such is the sad state of affair, people studing medicine who are really NOT interested, but forced to by parents.........

maybe you can think about bio-technology..........may be lab work, or mechanical engineering like work, but on medical equipment, etc..........

radiographer are not doctors, but technicians. they operate x-ray machines.....

I come to know one needs triple sciences (Chem, Bio. Phys) for direct entry(not Melaka-manipal MC) into medical schools in India, but most STPM students only have double sciences (including me). Any solution so that I can get into the medschools there.

Call your dad to shut up. Do what you want to do, not what your dad says. Who says engineering sector has no jobs? They do, but maybe not as much as the medical sector.

He is also judging this upon looking at the current situation. When you graduate in 4-5 years time, you think everything will still be the same? Engineer still won't have jobs?

My honest say is, study what you like to do. I have a friend who is forced to study medicine in IMU by his parents. Sadly, after 3 years of study, he calls it a day. What a waste. Note that he excelled academically in IMU.

Oh ya, I'm no Medical student. Don't mind me popping in and having a few words?

plz dont do medicine if u're not interested in it
but i heard there is a new field which is called medical engineering
of course u need to get the mbbs/md first b4 furthering to that field
some said it's very hard to get in but the job prospect is very good since there are too few people involved in it

i dont think that dentistry is easier than medical..in fact u have to have art skills too...not sure,correct me if im wrong

I'm from IMU, partnered to Dundee,UK and now working in UK. Woohoo, after all these long years as medical STUD-ent.

I need to clarify something first of all. You don't need to be genius to be a medical doctor. All you need is a good results from A-level, STPM or equivalent to qualify into a medical school. Once you qualify, all you need is brain cells to memorize all (not all, but MOST) of the medical facts that you will learn. Once you pass and grad as a doctor, all you need if to be street-smart i.e. be empathic, work hard and have a good clinical skills. As a doctor, you learn from working experience. So stop showing off by talking medical (trash) terms or conversing in medico-latin words. I hate some smart-alecs from year 1 or 2 who talk trash about anatomy and physiology which they just learn from few hours of lecture and not knowing how to apply it on human beings called patients.

Therefore, if you don't like medicine don't 'try' it. Medicine is boring if you don't have the interest. With re: to studying in IMU, I can say I have no regrets. IMU life is one of my best part of my life. Ppl you met in IMU are awesome, and believe me IMU is just great.

That's great! IMU-Dundee, which I'm seriously considering (just finished STPM). Smartymh, do you think it's easy to find a job or continue with your postgraduate training in UK after FY 1 and FY2, with the new EU law in place? And do you think it's difficult to transfer to Dundee from IMU?

Question

Which is more important for a doctor to have?

A good heart, or a good brain?

I know both is important, but in your opinion which is more essential for a doctor to have. Choose only one. I dont want to hear 'you-must have-both' kind of crap.

wgy589: To be honest, at the moment, I don't think studying in UK in order to look for a long term job is a good idea. Once you grad in UK, you'll allow FY1 & 2 which is easy to get (Or rather you'll 99% get these 2 yrs). After the 2 yrs, it is tough to get specialist training jobs. Competition is high, immigration ruling doesn't help at all. Everything is so confusing now with foundation training and specialist training. Probably (hopefully) things will improve by the time you finished your IMU BJ years.

My advice is, apply for IMU PMS while wait n see the future situation. If things gone worse, just apply somewhere not UK. Unless you don't see yourself wanting to specialize or staying long-term in UK, then Dundee is a great place to be!


Maniac_rage: I think good heart will make a far better doctor than a genius doctor. Patient is human, and human needs sympathy if they are sick. Knowledge can be gained from working experience, but it takes more effort to be a caring doctor. (If you understand what i mean)

lolz you will be surprised to hear that dentistry is considered harder than medicine even their scoped is smaller. That is because they'll learn the most important body part in a super-great detail compare to medic students which is the head.
Perhaps not many people out there knows that dentistry is not only related with teeth mouth, but instead they are handling most of the jobs regarding the head.
IINM, if someone is having accident and his face is badly wounded, they'll get dentist first b4 call other medic surgeons.
But dentistry is a money-making doctor's profession brows.gif

BTW, what year/phase u guys are in right now?
