Hai, Im now pursuing Bachelor degree of biomedical science.
Due to lack of information on the courses, i actually filled in the 8 choices of ipta without much consideration.
I actually not really know or understand biomedical science this programme that moment, so i just put ONE as biomed out of the 8 choices.
my 1st choice was pharmacy, i wanna to be a pharmacist.
but unfortunately, i didn get my 1st choice as my pointer in matriculation was only 3.94.
yupe. i understand that pharmacy is a hot course. and with my pointer like that, won't be able to get pharmacy that easily. i expect that. but i just wanna give mysellf a try.

My hometown is only a small town. i've less friend or seniors who are studying in local u. After matriculation, i was really blur and don't know where to get the information on the courses. there is no education fair at my place. noboby can guide me at that moment. If i able to get information, maybe i can choose to study pharmacy course in private Uni such as UCSI which is not tht expensive as IMU instead of go to study a field which i really got no idea.

And now, im in 2nd year of biomed already. But i still dont know where and what is my future.
Can all of u help me out ? i really need suggestion and guidance from all of you especially those biomed grad.
is there another job oppurtunities other than just staying in lab? or become underwritter?

is a possibe a biomed grad can become a pharmacist by the other way? other than RETAKE a new degree of pharmacy?
or enter MBBS? or how?

thanks a lot.

Right then, I will answer your questions from your PM here.

My basic degree is BSc.Biomedicine (Hons) from MSU, Shah Alam. I joined Grad-entry MBBS in India under the MSU-IMS collaboration program with M.S Ramaiah Medical College in Bangalore. Total duration including a compulsory 1 year internship in India amounts to 4.5 years of study, only then the MBBS degree will be awarded.

The syllabus is packed with extra classes.

Subjects during my point of entry (MBBS, Phase II part-1) include: Pathology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine, Pharmacology, Community Medicine, Medicine and Surgery. Additional classes in anatomy and physiology are given to further strengthen the basic knowledge in the mentioned subjects.

In India as told by my Professors, medical students are required to go, learn and do physical examinations on patients under the lecturer's supervision in the hospital starting from 2nd year as opposed to other medical program around the world which usually allows student to go to the hospital in 3rd year.

In my case, the students are required to practice history taking and basic physical examinations on patients in the hospital (especially in the Outpatient department) under the instruction and supervision of the lecturer.

The advantage of owning a BSc.Biomedicine / BSc.Biomedical Science qualification is having the suitable foundation to continue study in medicine / pharmacy / dentistry in graduate entry programs.

Some of my BSc.Biomedicine batch mates have also entered AIMST and Cyberjaya medical college, but then they have to join the normal 5 years program. Some have also went to do a 4-years Grad-entry medicine (MD) in Poland under MSU-ISEP program.

Otherwise, if you decided not to further your studies, you can choose a variety of health-care related jobs, eg; Medical Lab Tech, Lecturer for DMLT students, Medical Underwriter, Medical Sales Representative, Science officer U41 (Gov.Service), Misc. job in Pharmaceutical industry and so on.

I hope that answers some of your questions. If you need further clarification, do not hesitate to ask.

biomed grad can't become a pharmacist. pharmacist needs to be licensed.

anyway, science is a broad field, there are many different career path beside just lab and underwriter.
you can always look into jobstreet or newspaper and see what type of job is available out there.

and don't restrict yourself either, just because you are a science graduate, doesn't means you can't get into job in business field.

if you really wanted to be in science field, there are pharmaceutical sales, medical lab equipment sales, product specialist, quality assurance, research & development n etc.

btw, i'm a biomedical graduate and now i'm in medical software engineering field.

wether to take mbbs or retake pharmacy, that really depends on what you what. have you thought of that? what type of career are you looking for?

Em..May i know ur MBBS taken in india is recognized by Malaysia Government or not?
If it is not recognized by the government,is that means u can't work in government hospital?

Em..May i know ur MBBS taken in india is recognized by Malaysia Government or not?
If it is not recognized by the government,is that means u can't work in government hospital?

May i know that u were biomed science or biomed engineering grad?
if u were biomed science grad, how could u involve in engineering field right now?

is a possibe a biomed grad can become a pharmacist by the other way? other than RETAKE a new degree of pharmacy?
or enter MBBS? or how?

thanks a lot.

hi LYN
i am a bachelor in biomedicine fresh graduate and i would like to pursue medicine as my 2nd degree. is there any university in malaysia or anywhere that can offer me graduate entry for medicine? i also would like to know more on scholarships and study loans available to study medicine

rgds,

Ei? here also you posted the same thing?

I suggest that you browse the local private medical schools in Malaysia first. They do accept science degree holders into their program but you will have to join along with the STPM/A-Levels/Matriculation/etc holders for the 5-years program.

So is it possible to for me to take MBBS after my Biomedical science?

generally speaking yes though I'm not aware of graduate entry Medicine around this parts. You would have to join the normal programme with pre-u,foundation etc. students.

So is it possible to for me to take MBBS after my Biomedical science?

nah not really. You can either join grad entry med, or get into a full mbbs/md course which runs for 5 years. I think the first grad entry med is coming up in Malaysia offered by John Hopkins.

Wait.. What do you mean "not really" ??

When you say normal program  what does it mean ?

What onelove89 said is that some medical programmes in countries such as the US and Canada are graduate-entry programmes, meaning you need to obtain a bachelor degree first before you can study medicine.

However, most countries like Malaysia, India and most of the European countries treat medicine as an undergraduate programme in which you can enter once you finished your pre-university, hence the term 'normal programme'.

Hope this helps.

is anyone here took bachelor of biomedical science in management&science university in shah alam?..i just finish my stpm last year and i planned to take up biomedical science course.. BUt,I'm confused now..i dunno which university to choose.. can anyone guide me in what's the diff between studying biomedical science in msu,mahsa or masterskill.. and why mahsa and masterskill is 4 years programme but msu only 3? and can i know how CYBER SETAN continue his degree in MBBS in India?.. Thanks you..i hope to get a reply as soon as possible....

huh? where is the sub forum?

Based on a friend of mine,there are students who can alter courses from Biomedical science to MBBS at an IPTA.i was told that this smart student got a PNGK of 4.0 for biomed sc(1st year)..& the same uni offered him/her MBBS.is this possible?thank you in advance

CyberSetan sorry to dig up this old post and suddenly pop out a comment here. xD
anyways i am a biology lover. i love teaching and i also love labwork. it seems only fitting that i go for biomedical science right?
however i am skeptical about the job scope of this course. eg, are grads of this course in high demand in the teaching and medical lab world?
honestly income isnt really an issue to me as i know that i need to slowly work my way up the ladder and i really dont mind glue-ing my eyes to a microscope the whole day either.
what do you think?

CyberSetan mind giving me your personal opinion on these courses?
1)BSc(Hons) Biology with Psychology http://sunway.edu.my/university/fst/biology-psy
2)Bachelor of Science
http://www.monash.edu.my/study/undergradua...chelor-science/
3) any biomedical course out there in private universities in malaysia

i just finished a-levels and quite honestly i'm kinda lost on what to choose. i have asked for advice previously from other users on this website but i just wanted to get more opinions. I would really like to pursue a career as an academician in universities/colleges or like i said do labwork.
so what do you think? ><

I have been wondering why aren't many people interested in the Teaching profession... Its not like there is no career advancement in becoming a teacher. (B.Ed -> Masters Education -> PhD)..

Hi ,I'm  new to this site..I really need some info. And have no idea what i really should so with my life..i like to study biomedical science since  grade 12 and now i did my a/l..if i did bio medical  bachelor's degree..what would i be..I'm interested in genetics..i wanted to be a genetist..
But my parents are asking me to do mbbs in china hence there are no much job opportunities in biomedical path & no career success. .we are lack in information about the real situation out there...please reply me..I'm looking 4wrd..
Thanks a lot.

Grade 12...?
Firstly... which country are you from? perhaps then I can elaborate further.

Ah im sorry ..I'm from sri lanka....in grade 12 I was 18 years old

Alright...

If you are interested purely in Genetics... you should apply for a BSc. Genetics (Hons).

Lets do it like this... ask yourself first firmly... what is it that you want to do?
Do you want to become a scientist? a University lecturer in science? a medical laboratory officer? a medical doctor?

Then we can proceed from there.

Hmm i like lab works.and practical things..that's why i thought about genetics and bio med.actually i hv no idea about the research thing i dnt know whether i can manage that side..my parents want me to be a doctor based on their salary and the job opportunities..i want some infos to provide them and prove them smhw wrong!
Is bio med that hard😬..i knw here in my country there are rare opportunities. .i mean the world smwhere

It is not only in Sri Lanka that Biomedical graduates having difficulty securing suitable jobs related to their degree, Malaysia as well.

In Malaysia, Biomedical science graduates are often hired as Science Officers in government laboratories or as a Medical Laboratory Technician in private diagnostic laboratories... but such posts are limited and the pay is low (particularly in private labs)... so many will do the following:

1. Pursue higher level of education - to improve marketability, by doing Masters and PhDs in relevant fields of study, then become University lecturers themselves or join Pharmaceutical/Biomedical companies as researchers (this too is limited/rare)

Read: http://www.hgucolombo.org/?page_id=97

2. Become school teachers - the biomedical graduates will have to take one and a half year teachers training diploma, after which they become school teachers (usually science teachers). This option is also available to other graduates from other fields of study as well, mainly due to the lack of relevant job available to them. (even Engineering graduates become school teachers)

Read: http://www.ou.ac.lk/home/index.php/ousl/fa...ma-in-education

3. Become Medical Underwriters - some biomedical graduates join life insurance company as Medical Underwriters (google it up), training will usually be provided by the insurance company.

Read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_underwriting
4. Join graduate entry programs - this is usually done abroad, in countries like Australia, UK, US. By using the Biomedical degree as the entry qualification, the graduate can proceed to become Medical Doctor, Dentist, Pharmacist or Veterinary Doctor via the graduate entry program offered in such countries. It is a money and time consuming path.

... so... if your aim is to make a lot of money... Biomedical Science is definitely not the way to go... (even MBBS for that matter nowadays)...

... Do what you want to do, dont be forced to do something you have no interest in. Do a lot of research on the course you are planning to take, its marketability/job opportunities in your country....

Be warned... if you heed your parents advice to study MBBS... be prepared for 'hellish life' during medical school and during internship.... and please make sure the medical program is recognized by your country's medical council:

Btw,
Recently i paid some interest on AGRICULTURE & / FOOD SCIENCE. AGRICULTURE & / FOOD SCIENCE. .Do you have any idea about those both paths.

Hi, I am currently a 3rd year (final year) Biomedical Science student. I am very interested and planning to study medicine after finishing my undergraduate degree. I am well aware about the 4-year graduate entry medicine and so far, only Perdana University offers such course. But, sadly, I can't afford to study medicine in private universities as I am currently enrolled in private university under loan. So, does public university (in Malaysia) offers medicine course for degree holder? I have been told that certain public universities do not accept degree holder to pursue medicine as their second degree. Does anyone of you here know which public university does offer/accepts degree holder to enroll in their medicine course?
I am looking forward for the reply. I am kinda desperate to study medicine.

Ipta do take in done matured students, but you will still need to complete the entire 5 years, there is no exemption....

I believe that the pay for degree is higher than diploma holder. Most of my coursemate go for medical sales and lab technician. My job is more to office kind of work which you sit all day long working on your workstation. But tbh I can earn quite a decent income compared to my friend working as a sales. The pay here is comparably high for a fresh graduate.

Totally agree with the fact that biomed dont earn alot esp in Malaysia. The pay is peanut if you go for lab technician or sales.

================================================================================

Thanks for your kind response.  After read this forum i observe that for work in Medical Lab ,the diploma is enough then started to work on lab technician then later if need upgrade my knowledge then will do degree in interested stream.
Is above is right choice?

I was offered a job as a medical underwriter too by Prudential 10 years ago.

I have to take LOMA certification for underwriting if I had took the job offer.

I declined the offer and went to pursue Medicine instead.

Hi sorry for bringing this up after many years,but is MBBS hard,i mean real hardd.

And is the flow below correct??

Foundation in Sc(1years)>Bsc Of biotech(3years)>Mbbs(5 years)
