What do you guys think about Monash Uni in Malaysia for doing medicine? I was thinking of applying there after A levels. Is the feb 09 application even open yet? because I went to the website and only the feb 08 are downloadable

first step, go register to sit for the isat test.....you need that to apply.......

@ my place, the syllabus for 1st year Med and Dent are almost the same.. both will learn the 3 basic sciences : Physio , Biochemistry, and Anat..
but as for dentistry, they will be focusing more (i mean it) onto Thorax + Head and Neck region in Anatomy.. and they wont study about Lower limb + GIT system
for physiology they will also learn all of the stuffs except GIT system..
in addition, the dentistry students also learn another extra subject called Oral Biology (im not sure what this do, couldnt recall)

anatomy is fine, at first u'll be scare shit when there are tons of things to remember.. but later you'll find that it is nothing compare to other subjects like.. pharmacology ( damn i hate this subject )

ahh yes thanks I know about the isat. Going to register for that after a levels thanks

Hi... I am new here... I juz finish my SPM... Currently I am doing my foundation In Science in Lincoln College... Can i know which country will be a good choice to choose to do my medicine course? Russia or Indonesia?

im 3rd yr med in usm. huhu, tomoro got exam!!!!!

i've no idea but some of my batchmates in imu withdrawn n went to monash feb 2008
bout 5 of them
i think it's bcuz of d cost
but i oso heard they think monash better than imu oso
unsure, no comment

just as others rejected monash msia offers to go to imu.....

generally, if money not an issue......imu-pms better than either monash msia (no graduates yet, 1st batch in 4th year, recognised by amc, but no right to work in oz) or imu local (not recognised by anybody except msia and sri lanka, don't ask me why sri lanka).........cost-wise, imu local is cheaper than monash by rm50k over 5 years, and need to add cost of compulsory 3 months posting in monash melbourne.......

i'm sitting in may XD stupid test, it cost a friggin 200$! >< but my parents said that just go for a try. so yeah, oh well. Mind as well try it out.

tomorrow got mcq exam.. wish me luck! haha. so tired with exams...

hey, me too, tmr starts my finals !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my final is on 1st week on may
my best luck to everyone sitting for exams

aleysa, since u're from usm, is it true that 2nd year medicine got 1month of study week b4 final?

according to some lecturers IMU students standards are the lowest amongst all medical schools? is this true.
this is a testimonial from one of the lecturers in IMU.

give me insight~?
hahahahah

based on the selection criteria cut off, they are not the lowest....there are many other ipts med schools locally and overseas (taking msian students for money) with much lower entry cutoffs.......

there is no coherent national policy in future doctor selection, it's basically based on ethnicity in ipta, and money in ipts.....not on the best possible cohort of students the country has.......sad facts of msian medical education......

+1, Oral Biology for 1st yrs dentistry

i really would like to know how are the interview sessions for admission into the Medicine course in IMU. what questions do they usually ask? and how many people would be interviewing us? and how is it like?

i gladly appreciate if anyone could share their experience with me

thank you so much!

what would be the best choice of accomodation if if I wanted to go to imu?

u'll have two interviewers
first they will ask about ur personal details, sort of like ice-breaking la
expect those popular questions like why u choose IMU, why u wanna become a dr blah3
then they'll have 1 scenario questions for u
so far only three i heard of (and i think only this 3), n u'll have 1 of them (pm me if u wanna know the questions)

just be calm n u'll be fine hopefully
n don make big lie in the interview la
IMU's interview is not tat hard comparing to other universities such as PMC and those uk aussie universities

Added on April 16, 2008, 7:19 pmvista komanwel B is the nearest
but vista komanwel C usually in better condition (because lesser ppl stay here i think, but i'm staying here la)
vista komanwel A is too far away
n try not to opt for imu hostels
they're more expensive and not good
get a contact list of private accommodation from the Student Admission Department, just right beside where u interview, when u coming here to interview
better start finding a months or two earlier before u coming as there'll be more choices

PMC = Penang medical College?

Erm, i went to their interview last year, and basically, they just wanted to know whether i can pay the high tuition fees. And wen the offer letter arrived, i was required to pay a deposit of Euro 10K, which can buy me a proton car ady. no offence to the PMC students, but it was just my own exp.

hey there, just wanted to ask, does anyone know the when's the intake for medical students at monash malaysia and nus? and are there any imu students here whu got into imu thru MUFY? and among this 3 unis, wic 1 is the best? i noe all 3 are good, but the quality of lecturers and the atmosphere differ from place to place. moreover, i heard tht imu students study all the time and have tests every two weeks, wic is totally effed up. and is there any difference between studying at monash malaysia and monash oz other than the fees and cost of living?

and apart from imu and monash, what other good local medical unis are there?
