You need to be flexible in your options. smile.gif
Give yourself a chance to work outside your comfort zone and you may realized that you may even like it there.
All the best for your application and make sure you're doing it because you generally like it overall.

Lol, looking at the number of private medical schools in Malaysia, I am not surprised by the slightest.
Other countries have more tighter regulations towards building a new medical school but for Malaysia, it doesn't seem to happen.  hmm.gif

In fact we are lucky to have still public medical schools still recognised by the SMC. Do you know that UM medics who graduated after December 1989 are no longer recognised by the GMC UK ?

The private medical schools in Malaysia are money making businesses. Many might have thought that NUMED is part of Newcastle University UK - it is not.

Yea, our universities are sadly no longer recognised by the gmc, hence the majority of Malaysians will try to aim to get to a uk medical school instead for recognition and speciality training.

I would have to agree and disagree with your statement there though. The Numed campus is indeed part of Newcastle university and students who graduated there are eligible for gmc registration and even for gmc recognised fy  training in Malaysia as well just recently. However, the immigration law stands in the way of gaining entry to competitive cmt, cst, GP and etc training. With limited places even for their local graduates, what are the chances for graduates from Malaysia.

If I am not wrong, Numed Malaysia is owned and funded by Khazanah Nasional Malaysia. Initially, the GMC UK had a dilemma as to whether they would allow registration from Numed Malaysia graduates.
