Hello,anyone can briefly state the path that i need to go through to be a doctor?

I have just finished my Spm and i need scholarship.
I have seen a few scholarships but none of them seem to have listed degree/diploma for medicine.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,but the information seems to be rather superficial.

Would you mind providing me a more specific information like the courses that i should enrol for?
I would be delighted if you can clarify everything about medicine.

If my result is not good as expected,i will have no choice but to choose other courses because i'm afraid my parents are not affluent enough to pay all the fees required for me to become a doctor,that's why i need scholarship so badly and i sacrificed almost everything to make sure that my effort will finally pay off.

Being a doctor to save people' life is always my passion and dream.And recently my dream has been ruffled with financial problem(i have got to be realistic),but i won't give up at the moment.


Thanks again


Some off-question.
Must i get at least 12A1 to apply for jpa scholarship?
I have got international certificate like CAE (Certificate in Advanced English) and i possess a good speaking skill.
If i do not excel in Spm examination with maximum 12A1 as expected,will I still have chance of being awarded JPA scholarship?

Again,thanks for enlightening me.

alright,thanks for your explanation.Anything is yet to be decided before the revelation of spm result.

I have seen some websites state that it usually takes at least 11 years to be a doctor(3 years being a practitioner),so if i were to take medicine degree in ipta,will it take longer to complete that?

And can you give me some details about being a surgeon?

Hello everyone,i would be delighted if you clarify some of my doubts.

If everything goes wrong in my situation,i would have to take loan to pursue medicine,but i'm dubious about the amout of money i can get from loaning.

Does NUS provide medicine course?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much
