I heard that they do not use real bodies to teach, is that a disadvantage?

does anyone know the allocation of students to the universities per batch. like i know for jefferson, its only 2 students, that means 4 students per year will only get it. what bout the rest? yeah really lucky 08 students still get to go melbourne.

most new med schools do not use cadavers anymore......they use models, and computer simulation......actually makes little difference.......

well for reference u can always go check at the i-drive in elective and matching folder for tuition fees list
then find the respective 5th sem batch folder u can find it
like now the current one will be m206
and since u are also me2 batch, it's better to have m2 batch's as reference

usually there'll be more places of australia and nz for m2 batches
and more places of the northen atmosphere's like UK Ireland Canada USA for m1 batches due to the timing of eos 5
eg. m106 had 3 places for jefferson while m205 had only 2 (comparing this 2 because they flew together as a batch to jefferson)
but the exact numbers are subject to change la, just like m206 suddenly have 11 places of dundee, equal to m205+m106 places

haha am currently checking i drive now out of curiosity. and onelove, our lectures mentioned that there isn't much of a difference its just the exposure an open body, which one will see a whole lot during clinical years, so what ever you miss out now , you'll have a good chance of doing so in the coming years. the medical museum ain't too bad either. except some of the models are broken, most recently noted the eye model, cant place the lps on the model without tape.

Just out of curiousity, has the m206s done their matching yet?

thanks heaps for the information =) Just wanna ask, are we free to choose all the units? or are there some core units + electives?

yes
the due date was on 13th oct
but the result will only be out somewhere in nov or dec la

oh i see
it came out pretty soon for the m1s last time. quite unexpectedly as well. haha.
are you from m206 also?

there are NO choices for what you want to study in med school....EVERYTHING is CORE.....

imagine next time, you see a patient, you tell them: 'sorry, cannot treat you, i didn't take the elective on vector bourne diseases....'.

Anyone here taking the dentistry course? What do you think of it? ^^"

if i not mistaken the 1st and the only current batch is having their eos around this week or next
so perhaps they can answer u later
but i would say the pms they offer are not bad la, based on their prestige

Hi,I recently got accepted to study medicine (PMS) in IMU, Feb intake. I've got a few inquiries related to the course.

1) Since past year papers are not provided in IMU, are there any other specific papers which students are advised to attempt first before sitting for the exam?Back in high school and college, i realized that i personally would not be able to score if i prepared for the exam by solely reading and obtaining in formations from the book.I personally find it essential to try out papers related to the exam.

2) Is it true that students are booted out from the university straight if they failed any one subject in the exam? Are they not given a chance to retake the papers which they failed?

3) Would studying the notes given by lecturers suffice helping me obtain high marks in the exams?

Thanks.
