non of msian ipta medical degrees are recognised in oz/nz.....

non of ipts EXCEPT monash msia is recognised.......

note however, that having a recognised degree and the right to work are two separate issues........

the first is by regulatory bodies ie amc or nzmc........and the second is by immigration.......

ie, for any foreigner to be allowed to work, he must have a visa that allows him to stay there and work.....the usual visa is the permanent resident visa, but there are several other categories of work visas that may be granted.......

therefore, for fresh raduates of monash msia, they may get provisional registration with amc, but have no automatic right to work there......and based on current points requirements, will NOT have enough points to qualify for a pr visa........

so thr is no way to work oversea if i go for local private uni???

there is the backdoor entry......sit for the qualification tests conducted by amc.......however, i am not sure what the restrictions are nowadays.....previously, one must be a 'landed immigrant' (ie already holds a pr visa) to be eligible to sit.......and one will not have enough points to apply for a pr unless one's degree is recognised......so it is catch 22......

i think people here needs to realise it is getting increasingly difficult to get cross country registration for doctors......the mushrooming of new med schools doesn't help, they will just NOT allow you to even sit, eg, aimst is NOT recognised at all by gmc for eligibility to sit for plab (the uk qualification exam)...........

in any case, why the obsession with 'work overseas'?.....local med schools are supposed to train doctors for msia........not oz.......

see, i'm not hate this country but i always want to experience the life outside msia
i wish to study oversea too but the money issue prevented me

don't do medicine if one wants to have a good chance of studying and working overseas.......developed countries are MOST strict about foreign doctors, compared to all other professions.....for obvious reasons.....

there are so many twinning programmes where one can get 1 or 2 years experience in oz, and they don't cost that much, as part of the programme is done locally.......

erm so do u recommend imu or any other uni?
afaik monash do not have twinning too bad~

i was referring to non-medical courses.......eg, commerce, engineering, computing etc.......lots of twinning available......

get your priorities right.......you want to do medicine, or you want to study/work overseas?........

you can't do both if you have no money.....

hmm i dun think i will interest in any subjects besides medicine
anyway thanks for ur comments

The main reasons are:
1. Specialist training opportunity. Non-bumis have to wait forever to secure a place for postgrad courses conducted in Msia.

2. Housemanship in Msia = slavery. Developed countries tend to have more relaxed schedules and higher salary compared to Msia.

Manipal will never be derecognised by MMC. Manipal malaysian graduates took up nearly 30% of doctor practising in malaysia. If they riot, whole medical system will go haywire

20 students only?

20 x RM280000 = RM5.6M~ ohhh~ UCSI management team is going to have one hell of a headache~

We have 13 IPTS medical school now? Which Hospital might UTAR use for their MBBS program?

i guess utar mbbs also expensive than ucsi, is about 50k per year... overall 250k for the whole mbbs with about 50students getting in each batch i guess.... but utar is new in this field...

hi i'm 18 this year,just finished my spm last year,

ok..,i want to take mbbs when i finished my STPM(i havent start the stpm programme yet),the problem is that i did not take biology at spm level though i was a science stream student(replaced it with engineering drawing),
so my question is,can i pursue mbbs with just biology in stpm?
pls help me

yes........

in fact some med school do not need biology, but require chemistry as a requisite.........

THX FOR YOUR ANSWER!!!!!!!!!i feel better now

Better to take biology... Ask your 6th form school wether they let you take biology...
