he needs to go back to spore to work lah........he is singaporean.....

nolar, he has been talking abt IMU, UM, UKM, so i dun think he is planning to work here.

then it's really a matter  of his priority. to work in spore, or become a doctor is more impt. but i guess he wants to work in spore more, since he mentioned IMU dental after u suggested the post grad pathway to him.

Added on January 16, 2009, 8:01 pmbtw, wat books in internal medicine would ur recommend for a beginner to clincals?

talleys?
macleod?
oxford handbook?
Davidsons?
Kumar?
medicine at a glance?
......

what kumar book? that 'Pathological Basis of Diseases' book is it?

Thats a good book, if you can handle the ridiculously deep content. It doubles as a  door stop, if you wish. You can seriously injure a person with it.

by the way, for clinical examination books: MacLeod's and Hutchinson's are the two books that I used.

I think somehow, Indian med colleges use similar books throughout the country. I dont know about other countries though.

I'm rather curious.
Does anyone else uses K.D Tripathi's Essentials of Medical Pharmacology and S.Das Concise textbook of surgery in their skools?

like what they do to lawyers......the clp..........

local grads no need to sit........foreign grades all must sit unless admitted to recognised bars elsewhere.........

worst case scenario.......but unlikely to happen..........politically suicide.......

erm ya haha...

I know there's a bunch of schools on the list, but I don think those uni in those angmoh country is going to accept me into their medicine programme. But maybe those engineering or wat de course can la, but for medicine it's surely a no-no to a UEC student.

Now I am thinking whether I shall choose the pms option or the local programme offered by imu. that's why i would like to ask for the information that whether I am eligible for registration with SMC with both a post-graduate qualification that is recognized and a basic quialification that is not recognized.

I suppose I can apply for conditional registration right? Just to make sure that I'm doing the right thing...

The previous issue regarding "Manipal University: Kasturba Medical Colleges, Mangalore and Manipal" again today in Utusan Malaysia:

even after they appealed, still denied re-recognition by Indian Medical council? now what MMC is going to say about this?

After a bit of browsing around, I found this also:

Yep this is many time discuss in this thread. But if you already go to AIMST and with no chance transferring to IMU then what to do? Just proceed with AIMST.

yea.. actually i've heard of this before.. if you're doing your clinical years in malaysia.. even if its a twinning programme.. the uni in malaysia will issue your degree cert... :-D its actually the same if u do the whole 5 yrs in malaysia.. right ?
hehe.... ~

whatever?

yes, that just about sums up the pitiful state of msian education, in particular, medical education......as long as one gets that piece of paper, and, to quote the minister of health, the 'license to kill'............

If you don't have the ability to change this condition,so the best solution is to run away from here.But not keep on reminding and reminding "malaysia is bad","lousy health care" and keep on look down on who graduate from non-reputable uni.That is unfair to some! Not mean a good doctor must graduate from famous medical school but those graduate from 3rd world country like russia,indonesia should be a incompetent doctor or substandard medical student.If you are rich better leave the 3rd world country,if you are not confident in health care of 3rd world country,if you are not and need a "real doctor",you deserve the right to choose but not keep on look down on others who are graduate from non-reputable uni but are competent.As a patient they know which doctor is suit to them but not depend on academic background.Sorry,this is what I think!

You probably don';t think, seeing you have still not understood the basics of paragraphing.

Ever considered that your "lousy health care" is due to the lax admission policies for local medical schools and foreign graduates? So let me get this straight: you, unable to get into and afford into a reputable medical school with some standard, decide to perpetuate the problem by thinking of entering "3rd world country like russia,indonesia", with lax admission policies, just so you can fulfill your (and presumably your parents) dreams of being a doctor.

And of course, you still hide under the banner of "not all doctors from 3rd world medical schools  are Dr Death". "Choose a doctor"? What do you think this is: a supermarket? Please, get rid of your sifu mentality.

"A nation who wants to move forward needs a well educated workforce, not just a brilliant few". LKY

If I were to paraphrase, A nation who wants to have a competent health care system needs a network of well educated medical specialists, not just a brilliant few. In many parts of the world, you don't need to choose doctors. In certain circumstances you can't choose doctors.

My friend told me is about 4000++ but not sure la.
Hello,hypermax! The quality of MMMC is ok or not?Is the MBBS of MMMC a twinning programme? If yes,the living expenses in India will very high or not(including accommodation and food)?Approximately is how much the fee monthly?Is that required to attend an interview for admission?Any financial aid available?Can I loan from PTPTN?

2 different issues here.

1. Health Care available to Malaysian
I keep telling my friend, amongst the various government department, the Health got my greatest respect. May be because it's often a life and death issue so you have to be attended to. Whatever the reason, I personally believe we have give a big thank you to all those working in public hospital. And nobody in Malaysia will be denied health care which even the mighty USA couldn't fulfill.

2. Doctor who are not technically competent.
This is what many people are complaining about here. Substandard teaching plus substandard student and the result is substandard doctor. These should be tightened.

go manipal lah
no need muet or iels...
