I'm from IMU, partnered to Dundee,UK and now working in UK. Woohoo, after all these long years as medical STUD-ent.

I need to clarify something first of all. You don't need to be genius to be a medical doctor. All you need is a good results from A-level, STPM or equivalent to qualify into a medical school. Once you qualify, all you need is brain cells to memorize all (not all, but MOST) of the medical facts that you will learn. Once you pass and grad as a doctor, all you need if to be street-smart i.e. be empathic, work hard and have a good clinical skills. As a doctor, you learn from working experience. So stop showing off by talking medical (trash) terms or conversing in medico-latin words. I hate some smart-alecs from year 1 or 2 who talk trash about anatomy and physiology which they just learn from few hours of lecture and not knowing how to apply it on human beings called patients.

Therefore, if you don't like medicine don't 'try' it. Medicine is boring if you don't have the interest. With re: to studying in IMU, I can say I have no regrets. IMU life is one of my best part of my life. Ppl you met in IMU are awesome, and believe me IMU is just great.

wgy589: To be honest, at the moment, I don't think studying in UK in order to look for a long term job is a good idea. Once you grad in UK, you'll allow FY1 & 2 which is easy to get (Or rather you'll 99% get these 2 yrs). After the 2 yrs, it is tough to get specialist training jobs. Competition is high, immigration ruling doesn't help at all. Everything is so confusing now with foundation training and specialist training. Probably (hopefully) things will improve by the time you finished your IMU BJ years.

My advice is, apply for IMU PMS while wait n see the future situation. If things gone worse, just apply somewhere not UK. Unless you don't see yourself wanting to specialize or staying long-term in UK, then Dundee is a great place to be!


Maniac_rage: I think good heart will make a far better doctor than a genius doctor. Patient is human, and human needs sympathy if they are sick. Knowledge can be gained from working experience, but it takes more effort to be a caring doctor. (If you understand what i mean)

Yo glyde, long time no hear dude.

I'm back here again after long break from LYN. Hoho.

Glad there r medics community in LYN. Do u guys play more games than studying?? hehe
