brownydoggy : are you a med student (phase I or II) or a pharm student?

personally i think phase I med student doesnt need a pharmaco book.

Thats exactly what our MoH usually does isnt it? lol

what do u mean by they are slowly changing it?

oh yea, which country recognizes post-grad qualification conferred by SG?

yea, mass production from russia is flooding house-officership in msia. If i not mistaken many of them are extended due to incompetency. while i dont deny that most russian grads are good, imo those black sheeps will sooner or later be a problem in the health care system, and i dont really like that lol.

SingHealth came to UoA few months ago and gave us a talk. Apparently they're opening up more hospitals and they need more doctors to sustain the system. And "hopefully" ppl will stay after their consultancy, and they "dont mind" ppl running out wor. lol

yo welcome back mbbs siang! mind to explain abit hows CUCMS medical course is like? i would like to know more about it man!

tough question.
Ideally, if you are really good, sg might take u (on a case by case basis).
If u pass ur plab and uk accepted ur application, u can, but it sounds quite impossible with the uk employment issues.
For aus, pass amc examinations, got accepted and u can work there!, but with the increasing number of local grads chances are quite slim, unless u are opting for rural contract...

Congrats on ur A-levels results =)
You are quite right, except sg.
U take AMC for aussie, NZREX for new zealand, PLAB for UK, USMLE for US. And IMO the best chance that you can get is the USMLE and NZREX.
Sg may accept u on a case by case basis, but officially they do not take in the local imu grads.
and welcome to imu xD lol

this is what i gathered from hearsay from seniors, as well as the SINGHEALTH ppl when they came to UoA to tarik ppl to sg.
If you are from a medschool that's not recognized by SG officially, you can still apply for a job in sg, with very good referrals, cv, etc etc, but of course you cannot do housemanship over there. They may or may not accept you, depending on a case by case basis.

And apparently sg has no discrimination once they sign you in, and they hardly terminate any contract.

I think you know it better. (coz i think ur more senior lol)

How many of them made it? it can be really motivating if it's a handful of them!

where are u opting for pms btw?

I think i know u =), my long-lost primary mate lol.

What i would guess is u become a paeds registrar after the housemanship, pass all ur exit exams, then become a fellow in paeds neuro for 6months/1 year. I dont think there's any cost for training at all, and the location depends on where u are posted to when u are working.

i'm just guessing, correct me i'm wrong.

lol i'm in nz already. hows nsw? started phase II yet?

U have 2 ways to solve things out.
1. just do nothing, and eventually answer will come to u.
2. study every system (cardio, respi, GI, renal, neuro, hemato, endocrine, etc etc) and then u'll know the answer.
