on one hand, that would seem like an excellent way of getting people to be independent and resourceful.....

on the other hand, people will complain why they are paying so much fees for so little..........

fyi, it's the standard way for many oecd unis, not the spoonfeeding msians are used to......

eg, contact hours (lectures and tutorials/practicals) per subject in oz unis is 3-5 hrs/week only, if you take the standard 4 subjects per sem, that's 12-20hr/week.........tutorials are important, you get marks for attending, and can be refused sitting for final exams if you do not attend the minimum of tutorials.........

lectures are not..........nobody cares whether you attend or not, many do not..........it can be so boring, people just sleep in lectures.........

the didactical way must stop........and dialectic way adopted.........(google if you don't understand what these terms means)......

So true about spoon-feeding, the standard way of Malaysian education system.

In the course of my work training many fresh graduates, the difference between the spoon-fed ones ( which are mostly local product) and those from other countries are quite obvious. Nevertheless, once a while, I do come across some local grads who bring a smile to my face. There was one grad from China who is a top student but hopelessly worthless in practical. On a whole though, the ones who are NOT spoon-fed will excel and they normally come from Developed Countries. Sad truth but true.

.... you are doing medicine my dear.... How can there be discount on your fees? even if it's 1% they might be losing a few hundred pounds or dollars...

Some of the fees are really outdated. I remember some SRC's people came and ask my batch who wants the matching handbook for m108 and claimed that the fees are the newly updated ones, but.... looks like it's not.

hmm.. i was thinking, let's say a student transfers to his pms in the UK this year, 2010. by right he should pay the fees set for the year 2008 right? since that's the rate that the other 3rd year international students will be paying? unless the policy is such that the students have to pay the latest updated fees annually (this is the case in most med schools right?) ahh.. gotta ask the AAD about this..

Nope. When you enter in 2008, there is guarantee that you'll last through the 2.5 years, hence you're only regarded as potential student for PMS. And you dont know which PMS you'll be matched to...

PMS matching only happens in sem 5, only then the uni knows who are you. Thus, you are supposed to pay the current fees. 1 more thing, its common thing in developed country to increase the fees half way through, so becareful. UCSI did that as well.

i think you missed a word.........

few unis lock in their fees nowadays, thus you will have to pay whatever is the current fees prevalent year to year, and they usually go up by 5-10% a year pegged to inflation.........so you will need to factor that in, in your calculations on your potential expenses..........

I have one question to ask. If I'm going for the IMU-PMS graduate pathway, how much do I have to pay for the addtional 1 year in IMU? It's not written in their website.

hey! any seniors know what's the difference between tortora and marieb?? i find marieb quite long winded lar... and am intending to buy tortora but then the bookstore in imu has no more stock... anyone knows where can i get it?? biggrin.gif


tortora is a better choice, =) marieb has more words but not much content,
i had both marieb and tortora but i ended up buying clinical anatomy books which were more beneficial for me for later sems when i started studying different systems=)

Who are them you referring?? Student affairs?

Each uni has different criteria for students. Some uni will pick the students themselves, while others they'll leave it to IMU. This is why IMU cant give you exact answer. You can try asking the sem 5 seniors, the deans of PMS are here this week, and I'm sure they have asked a lot about the criteria.

lol. here's one biggrin.gif

no. don't think spm results are taken into consideration. They have more than enough results to base their selection on (all results from sem 1- sem 4 are sent to each PMS. Not sure if the summative and EOS in sem 5 will affect matching though I doubt so since matching results will be out before any of these results will be ready). But they will include your eos5 + summatives scores in your student transcript that is sent to the PMS u are matched to.

btw, uni melb is back. with a whopping aud 62k/ yr. It's a 3 yr undergrad course.

they will NOT bother with the spm..........

they may look at your pre-u........

they will certainly rank you based on your eos2, 3 and summatives..........

about the last minute inclusion of the 2 melb u places, this and 2/08 would be the last batches eligible to feed into the last undergraduate entry batch for melbourne u.......high fees notwithstanding, i am sure some will be gunning to get that 2 places..........eg jpa/mara scholars........smile.gif

I can see their reluctance to include Melbourne for final MBBS intake. (commencing 2011)

The lucky few will be spending one semester of pre-clinicals with grad students before joining the rest of the undergrads in clinicals.

There is a clear disadvantage for IMU students. Although you have probably already know the contents of semester 5 (immunology, microbiology, oncology, public health etc.), it'll still be a struggle. Most grads have a few years of hospital and work experience as well as previous knowledge from their undergrad degree.

Being new to Australia and well as the Australian health system, it will most likely be a pretty hard.

I'm just a layman, knowing nuts about the field of medicine and medical education. I just read a scary article - A doctor too many hot off the press yesterday.

Anyone read it yet? What's your opinion of the fears expressed by Dr Hsu?

i don't think it will be much of an issue.........melb traditionally only take the top students from imu......these are the usual effortless a's students, they should blend in nicely and up to speed in a short time.......

that is exactly what is happening........

there are a couple of errors though.....the housemanship in uk is now 2 years (foundation year 1 and 2).....

and he did not pay enough attention to those trained overseas........particularly russia and ukraine, where at it's peak, took in 1000 students a year..........they number about 1500 a year currently returning from all countries (predominantly russia/ukraine/indonesia/india.....those who goes to the developed world mostly will NOT return, even those on scholarships).......and many of them poorly trained, and even worse than the local ones......

it is expected that by 2012 or soon after, all available posts in gov hospitals will be filled.......and even with expansion of establishment strength, an absolute surplus of doctors by 2015 or so........you taxi driver may be a doctor soon, like in some countries......

wow ... 1500 doctors coming back home every year? And that does not include local grads? How many local grads per year?

what's the # of doctors per capita in the developed contries? where are we at now?

do those that come back from overseas have to do national duty for 7 years also? perhaps as a prerequisite for MMA licence?

just curious smile.gif
