QUOTE(limeuu @ Aug 6 2008, 12:01 AM) bad student + bad school = many of doctors from 3rd world countries where selection is often based on being able to pay the fees..........including msia/russia/ukraine/india/indonesia etc...... Ahh. Indian students would be pissed if they were to read that. Perhaps you've forgotten about some of the top med schools in India, being one of them is the premier AIIMS. An average of 75,000 students takes the entrance exam annually and the institute ultimately only takes in 50 students ( 5 international inclusive). What's more, it's clinical exposure is unmatched-the hospital treats millions of patients annually. Besides, all of the top med schools needs its applicants to pass the entrance exam for admission.

KMC is not in the list i think it's because of the de-recognition issues that happened a few years back. It has caused the uni's reputation to drop quite significantly. But, the problem has been overcome and the college has now regained full recognition from the IMC. This recognition thing changes all da time. KMC could be listed in the SMC in years to come! MMMC hmm it needs longer time, i guess (i'll be a MMMC student soon:)) Singapore is short of houseman, and a constant supply of fresh-grads from a neighboring country is most certainly welcome. While UM and UKM are the supplier, we cant doubt the quality of the students-they are all 4.0 pointers regardless of the source, if you know what I mean  - or can we? The weird thing is USM is left out. I wish study med in oz uni but 'not enuf' money ..haihz.. lol |

KMC would cost additional 150k. I don't think it's worth it.

yea it cost 135k USD for foreign student. A portion of the fees is used to pay their local student fees. Yea, we could learn more from the rich clinical exposure under KMC but staying there for 6 years, really makes you think twice.

QUOTE(sjr @ Aug 15 2008, 12:34 AM) yes..it is. but the hospital does not belong to our college... actually, only few specialists or MOs look down on us... interestingly, most of them who look down on us are those graduated from UM... gosh, they must have been living in their own tiny world all this while.. I don't care where they graduate from, it's a no-no for me to look down on ppl.. .and they are called doctors.. |

QUOTE(limeuu @ Aug 15 2008, 12:51 AM) cut off in imu fluctuates between ter91-95 (and equivalents) in recent batches.....if one has been following my posts, one will know i have been very critical of imu too.....the saving grace is that they apply strict standards in assessments, and dare to fail people.......which is dictated by the requirements of the pms..... that weeds out the low ter's and those who play the fool.........i am not aware of any other ipts with a tough assessment policy....... finally, almost all students in ipts 'bought' their place......on merit grounds, there are so many people with stpm who would eminently qualify, but have no money/scholarship........ in that sense i am against private medical education....while still cognizant of the fact that they provided a vent for what is happening in ipta...... nah... IMU takes in approximately 220+ students per intake..( many dare-to-fail people really fail ) now MMMC only takes in around 120 students now.. so there's a healthy students to lecturers ratio the maximum allowed years to complete the MBBS program is 8 years and a student cannot retake a subject more than 3 times |

recent years, more and more jpa scholars are matriculated into MMMC, now they make up three quarter of the students, Presumably, they are brilliant students, thus, competitive students can be expected.

It's surely a better move than to send students to country like Indonesia. Not only it will ensure that they come back to serve for the Government but also to meet the scarcity of doctors Malaysia are facing now. It's a win-win situation.

QUOTE(hypermax @ Aug 16 2008, 12:28 AM) If you want learn more about clinical skills, then better stay in the wards longer. My professor from UM told us that he used to stay in the ward till midnight. " To study medicine without books is like sailing an uncharted sea. To study medicine without seeing patients is like not going to the sea at all." nice saying  |
