so I just got accepted to the AUG- 2012 intake for the partner medical school program for medicine..and I'm hoping someone can answer a few of my questions.
Firstly, is the degree issued by IMU or the partner medical school?(the registration package says it's the partner school..so does that mean there'll be no indication that I did part of my studies at IMU?) My ultimate goal is to be a surgeon so I was hoping someone could advise me as to where international students are most likely to get surgical residencies(i.e. Australia or the U.K.).I've read somewhere that the U.K. doesn't discriminate between EU and non-EU candidates when it comes to applying for postgraduate education and then read somewhere on this forum that it does:S Also I'm a little confused as to whether Dalhousie accepts non-Malaysian students. I hope I hear from someone soon enough:)

QUOTE(podrunner @ Jun 22 2012, 08:09 PM) 1. Degree issued by the PMS 2. BEFORE you even think about residencies, you will need to concern yourself with landing that internship first, to be registered as a doctor with the respective medical council/body. With the increasing number of medical graduates in both UK and Australia, the spots available for international students for internship places has just about diminished in Australia, and diminishing in the UK. Thanks for the reply.I just had a few more questions.The pre-clinical phase lasts for 2 and a half years in Malaysia.Assuming I accept the place for the semester beginning in August 2012 I would be done around February 2015.Since most of the UK partner medical schools have academic years beginning in August does that mean from the period I'll be done(in February) to August of that year I'll be wasting time?(Wouldn't that mean the pre-clinical phase in Malaysia lasts 3 years?).Oh and if I'm graduating with the PMS's degree does that mean I'll be a non-IMG in that particular country?If so wouldn't that put me in the same position as say a UK citizen graduating from a British medical university when applying for a foundation year position?(Or does nationality play a bigger role when you apply for FY1?)
