what do you mean by that?

wao, if $ is not a prob, den u realli haf the potential 2 do dat.
i think the best way is go IMU, study hard, and twin to Jefferson o any Canadian Uni. Then move 2 US n get into their residency (specialist). US is realli the country wif least discrimination against foriegners (if not S'pore).

if migration is the intention, then go directly to the intended country and study there, if money is no object.......that would be ideal........

however, direct entry into med schools in some countries can be very difficult, due to foreigner restrictions or entry requirements.........

so a backdoor way is via imu......

whether you will be allowed to stay back and work depends on the policy of the country at that time.........this can change with time in some countries...........

generally, the us has the most favourable policies towards foreigners working, but is very restrictive in admitting foreign students......but the way around that is, you can train in any country, and pass at least the umsle step 2 to qualify to be registered to work there........

i thought Jedi mentioned he earned a medical degree already.... im confused here....

no i have not. it is a case of if's. I am still considering all my options available to me

well, its rather the other way round. for medicine course, it really depends which uni will choose. After my SAM, i applied for Adelaide, UNSW, UWA, Melbourne, Bond Uni, NUS, and lastly IMU. And only IMU accept me -____- though i fulfill all the requirements.

that is exactly what i have been trying to tell everyone, with limited success.....in any other course, you choose where you wanna go................but for medicine (and dentistry) the med schools will choose you, and you go where ever you are chosen.....if you get chosen.....

*caveat*: does not apply to non-reputable med schools where ability to pay overrides any other criteria in the selection process.......

ocpe and osce is just one of the exam in med school....wait till u join the journey of no return , then only u'll know..... hee....

from my point of u.....(being a med student for 4+ years in local uni), u can go for IMU if ur parents r rich...*_*. i would not reco u to go russia for med degree..... u would have a hard time searching for postgrad course later.....and a hard time for u to struggle in medical life as lots of doctors or specialists actually look down on russian grads... and u would end up being tortured by them all the way( that's what i usually see in my hospital). anyway, good luck!!!

Objective Structure Practical Examination (O S P E). Haha. Go google around if you wanna noe. =] Man, there gonna be lots more exams and CA coming soon. Hoping to finish my pre-clinical years soon and get into hospital attachments. X]

so, OSPE/OSCE is part of pre-clinical izzit?
if so, it's not in my skol

Oppps, actualli i was havin CA (just over), so didn't bother 2 google it

wow, csrulez can't wait 2 get into clinical years. relak la, the rest of ur life probably end up in clinicals.

hehe.. osce/ospe's are one of the most fun exams around!
can't remember any exam when everyone will be grinning at each other like idiots at the end..

my favourite is still long case... you really need to talk yourself out of hell to save yourself..

can anyone here help me???!!! pls i need all the experienced medic students to guide me! i planned to go to IMU, cos it's damn good n damn near to my place, BUT i know it's difficult cos it requires a very high entry requirements + interview...

my question is, which type of pre-u is good for medic? i'd love to take A-levels but it's a farking 1 1/2 years.. so damn long time! so i'm confused between ausmat or A-levels or even canadian pre-u!

okay, so about the pre-u thingy, i know i need to take the sciences subjects... as usual they'll offer chem + bio + phy in the subjects for pre-u, my question is, can i take only chem + bio? and replace phy with some other subjects like psychology? will it affect my entry to IMU? i'm okay with physics except the farking dull n boring electronics!!! those signs and functions will make me puke..

so that means even if u study 5 year IMU locally [MBBS] u will still be like higher ranking and more regarded than russian grads?

y not just email them leh? i'm sure they 'll give u the best ans

same here...this SPM trial i have worst marks for physics..63 and got a b3..my worst subject

Yuck... OSCE is YUCK everyone is grinning like idiots because we were so dumbfounded like idiots during exams hehe

Long case... I'm so going to die.

OSPE is fun though

Email IMU or call them... How can we vouch for anything we say? We're not representatives of the admin anyway.

Then again, I didn't take Bio in my preUs... physics is much more fun. Bio = boring memorising... Physics... OH YEAH.

Does medical stuff difficult?
in my knowledge i only knew a few medical course.
Biomedical Engineer,Phamarcy,Doctor(include Dentist),Nutritionist.
Anyother considered Pro course?

em... depends on how u look at it...
student from medical schools would say that medical courses are MD/MBBS...
might extend to dentistry too...

at my campus, there are 3 schools...
School of Medical Sciences (MD)
School of Dentistry
School of Health Sciences (Biomed, Dietetic, Nursing, Radiology)
