QUOTE(ericlee135 @ Dec 2 2013, 07:49 PM) Hi. I am interested in the imu-pms programme but may I ask how does the matching works? you rank all the unis, they rank you, and computer does algorithm to match....but strange things happens regularly.... Also, Im doing A levels now(I just finished my AS last friday) and my forecast is 3 A* and 1 A in taylor's college subang jaya. Do I need personal statement for the imi-pms programme? No And is it easy to enter the pms that I will be selecting? Depends on how well you do, most people get one of the top 5 choices... I am actually ok in going to anywhere provided the particular pms that accepts me is recognised worldwide. There is no such thing... Do you have any statistics on the number of students entering pms and usually how many will fail entering a pms each year? There are about 100-120 places for undergraduate pms....they may take in up to 150 into 1st sem....if you survive to the final sem, you are guaranteed a place....about 15-25% will flunk out... Will there be a decrease in the number of students accepted by the pms in years to come and does the number of students going for the pms route fluctuate every year? of course.... I know this is too many questions to answer but I'm really anxious and desperate to know. Thank you for time  |

personal statements and vocational experience does not pay a part in the matching process via imu....it is however very important in applying for direct entry into uk med schools....

the basic criteria will be academic performance....but some med schools have additional criteria, eg, some exclude any students who have failed any sem exam...eca plays no part...
if you successfully completed phase 1, you are guaranteed a match, but there is no guarantee of which uni, or which country....you can still be matched to oz, or ireland....but since the majority of places are in uk, the chance of a uk match is high.... |

hk has a different medical council, which does NOT recognise any degree other than the 2 in hk (hku and cuhk)....everybody else needs to sit for a qualifying exam....
recognising a uni does NOT mean recognising a qualification, as that depends on the respective professional licensing bodies.....msia also recognised many prc unis, but only the 2 'pushed through politically' med schools are recognised....paradoxically, while msia is one country that recognises the most number of foreign med schools, spore recognise more prc ones.... |

there is NO 'direct entry' into med school in nz....you will be admitted into health sciences for the first year, and then will have to compete with all other students for places into all health related courses, including medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physiotherapy etc....
ie, it is very possible for one NOT to get a place in medicine after the 1st year... |

QUOTE(C-Note @ Jan 4 2014, 07:55 PM) i thought even recognised university graduates need to take conversion test in order to work in a particular country? say, two graduates from UK and IMU, how are they different in terms of gaining accreditation and eventually being able to work in Singapore? you thought wrong...smc recognises all the old med schools in uk as equivalent to nus, no further exam needed..... imu is not recognised.....cannot work... there is a qualifying exam similar to mmc's mqe, but i understand few or nobody take the exam.... doctors with british postgraduate qualifications eg mrcp/mrcs can be granted provisional registration to work, even if the primary qualification is not recognised.... |

QUOTE(C-Note @ Jan 4 2014, 08:36 PM) means there IS a qualifying exam? which applies for many other countries. otherwise how do you explain so many graduates with unrecognised qualification being able to work in places they intend to? i am unsure what you are trying to ask....you will have to be more specific if you want actual answers.... |

QUOTE(C-Note @ Jan 5 2014, 12:46 AM) what im trying to ask is, it doesnt matter where i graduate. As long as i pass the qualifying exam of said country, i will be equally qualified with 'recognised' graduates? that is technically true....that is why many indian graduates sit for usmle and plab.....however, these exams are often deemed difficult by graduates from other countries, partly because because of difference in system of healthcare, and partly because many of these graduates are mediocre students... and it is very expensive.....and most candidates have to sit multiple times.... and passing it does NOT mean getting a job....employers will prefer their own graduates..... and passing it does not mean having right to go live in that country, as immigration laws may restrict.... |

when you graduate from a uk med school, you will be eligible for fy....and the selection is based on your academic centile and the sjt test results....
all uk graduates, whether british, eu or internationals, all eu graduates, and all eligible img who have passed the plab, will be equally considered, without discriminations.... |

they will just be closing the backdoor pathway, which has never been look upon favourably amongst many direct entry medical students...
having said that, the record shows that such students, while entering via the back door, has done quite well competing with direct entry students.....it was a successful programme... |

QUOTE(cckkpr @ Feb 22 2014, 08:45 PM) When will this take effect in UK? So sorry for the IMU students. Maybe it's time to look into other European countries. why should you feel sorry for them?....like i said, it will not be retrospective.....those already enrolled will all still get a match if they complete phase 1 successfully.....but as the pms starts to drop out, the pms programme will shrink, as they take in less students, in tandem with the number of places available in the remaining pms....if uk completely exit the partnership, imu may shut down the whole programme permanently, as it then remains the few pms in oz, 2 in the us, and one each in canada and ireland.... |

you can assume that most of the list, if not all, will be taking in students when you complete phase 1....however the actual list, how many each will take, and the actual matching will only be known and take place in sem 5....

QUOTE(cckkpr @ Feb 23 2014, 12:13 PM) The number of students going overseas for medicine would be drastically reduced. Looks like we are losing our bargaining power. why should it be reduced?....just go for direct entry....Monash and Numed may benefit. what bargaining power?.... monash and numed will not benefit, the group looking to go overseas, will not be looking at them..... the nett effect is closing of the backdoor, for less than excellent students.....a significant portion of imu-pms students got in with less than stellar results, and would never have managed direct entry..... |
