I come to know one needs triple sciences (Chem, Bio. Phys) for direct entry(not Melaka-manipal MC) into medical schools in India, but most STPM students only have double sciences (including me). Any solution so that I can get into the medschools there.

Anyone?

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.








That's great! IMU-Dundee, which I'm seriously considering (just finished STPM). Smartymh, do you think it's easy to find a job or continue with your postgraduate training in UK after FY 1 and FY2, with the new EU law in place? And do you think it's difficult to transfer to Dundee from IMU?

Hi, everyone. I'll matriculate into NUS (National University of Singapore) this August. Hope to join this forum soon.

yup,
haha to all the medical seniors here

y come back. stay in Aus la
o if it's abt the same, wif 2 years housemanship, den apply S'pore la.
I'm sure S'pore will take u. Melbourne is just 1 of the best medskools

Added on November 24, 2007, 6:48 pmlet say u go S'pore, n get specialist training after 1 year houseman, 1year MO (of course not guaranteed), den ur career progression is much more faster den ur Malaysian counterparts, who haf 2 spend 2 years houseman, 3 years compulsory service, den wait a few years (it's the same thing laa, quota system)

Haha, u r 4/5 years faster den them.

Agree wif me?

i think Malaysia would b in excess of doctors in years to come, wen all the graduates from Russia, India, Indonesia, Egypt.....come back, plus the local public n private medgraduates.

haha. diff views
but i still think dat it's much more easier 2 secure a specialist training in S'pore den Melbourne/Aus.

soli, i'm not realli sure. can anyone confirm dis on the specialisation thing.

but wat i heard from a local specialist is dat it's not possible 2 do ur specialist 2 early as long as u r non-bumi

i dun think age is of form of obstacle to stop u from pursuing medic, but
instead $ n enthusiasm r the decidin factors.

duration from SPM to become a specialist realli depends, just 2 many factors, eg country, speciality, ur ability 2 pass the exam, subspecialty.... i would say it's from 15 to 20 years. but again, it depends

take it ezy man, Aus is not dat tough 2 get in if u realli haf the ability 2 do medic. quite a no of my friends got in, but not studyin there cos of financial prob. not sure y they applied in the 1st place ...lol

All the Best.

n $ of course

wat's dat? OSCE, OCPE? Sounds very pro

wao, if $ is not a prob, den u realli haf the potential 2 do dat.
i think the best way is go IMU, study hard, and twin to Jefferson o any Canadian Uni. Then move 2 US n get into their residency (specialist). US is realli the country wif least discrimination against foriegners (if not S'pore).

Added on December 7, 2007, 6:43 pmrealli, it's the best way (if u haf the $),even if compared 2 Oxbridge/Melbourne, cos both UK n Aus r havin a system 2 protect their own people.

so, OSPE/OSCE is part of pre-clinical izzit?
if so, it's not in my skol

Oppps, actualli i was havin CA (just over), so didn't bother 2 google it

wow, csrulez can't wait 2 get into clinical years. relak la, the rest of ur life probably end up in clinicals.

y not just email them leh? i'm sure they 'll give u the best ans

my skol is quite weird though, wif pharmacy under faculty of science, den skol of medicine n faculty of dentustry r separate.

there's a saying by Confucius,
If you enjoy what you do, you'll never work another day in your life.
