excuse me, can i know what kind of question will be asked during the interview? something like... tell me about yourself, why do you choose ucsi medicine, why do you choose medicine????

i'm going for an interview on the 30th...

Should be something like that and about ur family background

will there be a test? chemistry, maths or biologY????? my friend who went to pharmacy interview had to sit for chemistry test... i've been reading biology, just in case...

hi winnie, for pharmacy there is a chem test. however for med as far as i know there is no tests. during my interview the questions were not about studies. the interviewers didnt even take a look at the certificates that we had brought along. the dean asked us the perennial question "why do u want to be a dr", and also about our opinion on some current affairs, nothing to get worried about. the interviewers wanna know about ur personality and command of english. just be yourself and u'll be alright

what time is ur interview btw? just relax and go do it with a smile

Hi, just to answer some of your concerns...

LAN accreditation- our medical school had been given a provisional accreditation by LAN, pending on the graduation of our 1st batch of students within 2 years time, by then we'll be able to attain full accreditation. Not to worry about whether we can be accredited or not, as jasperseng had said, we have a very capable dean who was also the former founding dean of the medical school in USM, and he and our group of lecturers will ensure that our medical education will be sufficient to help us to qualify as knowledgeable & professional doctors & also gain us the accreditation.

Lecturers- We've more than 2 Malaysian lecturers due to the addition of a few lecturers recently. And yes, the lecturers from other countries are equally as qualified, with much experience as clinicians, working with other well known universities abroad and some also having PhD qualifications. They're always willing to help, including outside lecture periods. The lecturer-student ratio is also relatively low, and I think this is where we have a little advantage compared to giant medical universities around because we get more personal attention & mentoring by them.

Facilities in the KL campus are quite sufficient, with the museums, discussion rooms and clinical skills rooms, enough to help you with your studies, which would very much be focused on your books anyway for the first two years. Just that the library still has quite limited amount of books especially for the more specific/rare topics e.g. forensic medicine.

Interview- Yeah, you'll definitely be asked some standard questions like "Why you want to become a doctor?" and you'll have to be prepared to be probed and give deeper answers than just "I want to help people & provide the best medical treatment to Malaysians, blah blah blah". No worries, it's not as scary as it seems.

Hope this helps!

Just to add a bit to what Student21 has said about the books, you will probably get the book list of recommended books from the lecturers when the course starts, though I recommend that you talk to some of the seniors about which books to buy and which to borrow and stuff. It boils down to personal preference; some of us have tons of books, and another might just have 1 or 2.

oh my god. current affairs...?

and by the way my interview is 930am at dean's office, school of medicine.

hehe, the questions arent difficult to answer, but they are mainly to gauge how you approach certain issues and also about ur personality. If memory serves me right, the Dean asked us to discuss about "unity among youths in malaysia" or smting like dat. So u see, the question is open ended and it depends on your own outlook to answer it. They are many good answers for the question, but a BAD answer would be something like, "I dont bother Datuk Roslani, Doctors just need to focus on their jobs, etc"

During my interview there were 5 who went in together, and although our answers were different, we all passed it

Hopefully this puts u at ease
