all new medical students thinks their med schools are 'freaking good'........
the problem is, you have NO basis for comparison, as you have NOT experienced other med schools.......
it appears good to you because you have moved up to a different level of education.......yes, it is 'good' compared to your secondary schools.......how can it be not, as a university?........
cucms entry cut-offs are amongst the lowest....quite comparable to russia/indonesia....i know people with pretty mediocre results who got in........the uni have no choice, as people with better results will have been accepted into more established med schools........ask yourself, if you were accepted into aimst/imu/mmmc and money is no problem, would you choose cucms?.........
Yea.Its make sense.Anyway,as long as one is accepted into a medical school which suit their needs then it will be good.haha!

yo welcome back mbbs siang! mind to explain abit hows CUCMS medical course is like? i would like to know more about it man!
Actually,CUCMS medical programme is designated as a "block system". Block system mean every course will become a block for four weeks.Like general anotomy-contain 4 academic weeks.every week we have a weekly assessment (test) for the topic we taught in that week.We will take our final exam at the end of every block or every four weeks but not in the normal semester system will take their final only at the end of semester.
All the students all will be divided into smaller group with maximum ten members or minimum 6 members guided by a mentor.This group named as SCTL group or student centered team learning group.We will not attend lecture for whole weeks.1 weeks will only contain 2 lectures and the rest of the topics will be prepared by SCTL group itself before we present it in class.Here,we have a concept of obtaining the knowledge on your own lectures note will only as a guide to lead you well and achieve the objective.
Beside that,we have a online asses learning system(LMS) or learning management system.The lecturers will upload the note or assignment in this web page then student will go and download for practical class preparation sheet,lecture notes ,timetable,SCTL assignment and etc.ALL the senior here are very helpful and friendly.
In CUCMS you will not only study for no rest but you "must" enjoy your life with some extracurricular activities.As it run a block system,so student will not over relax for their studies.If you do so,you may repeat or worse will be expelled.One of my group member is from the senior batch and repeat his first year now.We also have some clinical exposure in pre-clinical year that will lead us to have a correct thinking and concept of being a medical professional later on.
In the beginning few block we will taught in separated subjects like anatomy,physiology,microbiology,biochemistry and etc.When it come to second sem onward all all block will run in system like cardiovascular sytem,musculoskeletal system and etc.Its good to teach separated subjects before enter system as this make strengthen our basic knowledge toward basic medical sciences.
Our faculty currently got 14 cadaver for our practical purposes.So,quite good to study here la................
