... I dont know anymore.

I think I have reached a point where I treat death as part of me, even finding it funny to a certain extent...

I go to lab, I see human skull and bones...
I go to forensic medicine lab / mortuary... I see dead people being cut open...
I go to pathology lab... more organs, limbs, etc
I go to clinical postings... again dead people lying cold waiting to be claimed...

Hell.... even in my house, even next to my bed - human skull as my paperweight/decoration...
Come here and study medicine... you will know what I'm talking about...

thats quite expensive. almost 250k for 2 year in Taylors. you could completed an mbbs program in aimst/cucms/allianz/sedaya with that amount of money.

ohh? that RM118K+ is actually for 2 years (4 sems) in Taylors, not RM250K.
Then it is still competitive.

hmm... very well, perhaps later i will update the fees for Taylor's in the first page. Anyone else can confirm this fee?

Update for Allianze College of Medical Science:

- They are now offering MD from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)
- For more details, see the first page.

I believe.. I am the only one studying MBBS in MSU (India) in this sub-forum.

There are two MBBS program in MSU.
One being fully conducted in India (collaboration program) and the other one being conducted in Shah Alam (latest program).

As stated in the 1st page, it will cost RM450,000 for the Indian program (latest fee) and RM300,000 for the Malaysian program.
I have mentioned a little about MSU's MBBS program (India) in the first page.

MARA, the current sponsor for my MBBS studies, wants to sponsor me in MSU (India).
If I reject that offer, then it will be stupid of me to do so and then it would be my lost.

Besides, I already did my BSc.Biomedicine (hons) in MSU (Shah Alam) under JPA scholarship and I am familiar with the workings of my university.

So.. why not?

Added on March 19, 2010, 4:55 pmThat is the latest fee by MSU for the Indian MBBS program.
It reflect the increase in fees by MS Ramaiah Medical College (MSU collaborate), which is now around USD120,000.

If you assume that studying medicine full-time abroad in India is cheap. Think again. See the fee structure for MBBS program in Kasturba Medical College (Manipal):

http://www.manipal.edu/InternationalStuden...erGraduate.aspx

...and limeuu, please don't come to a conclusion so fast as to weather a person is qualified to join the local medical IPTS or not without first knowing his/her academic results.

In MSU (India) campus now, JPA and MARA sponsored students make-up the majority of the students studying here and they are certainly not academically unqualified to do MBBS.

To tell you the truth...

Fees updated for Taylors MDTP program. See the first page.

If the pictures are the same, then he obviously took them from this thread. I personally took those pictures myself in Manipal.

...AIMST MBBS Fee Updated (1st page).

If you guys haven't watched the following, watch it:




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfCwNRcTc2g


as he said in that video, maldistribution of doctors in Malaysia is a problem, most refuse to serve in Pahang, Sarawak and Sabah~
perhaps the government should impose mandatory posting for new housemen/M.O during their compulsory service in those states?

Very well~

Graduate-entry medical program is on the rise abroad, even in Australia and UK. Unfortunately it is yet to happen in Malaysia. Grad-entry Medicine has its pro and cons, you can search for it in google (there is a lot of it).

Malaysian private medical universities however DO accept BSc. graduates into their program, however they will join the normal 5-years program along with STPM/A-Level/Foundation certificate holders. The 4-years program is only available abroad is designed especially for Bachelors degree holder.

The graduate-entry medical program abroad will usually be more expensive than doing the normal 5-years program in Malaysia. This you have to consider well. If you don't mind sacrificing 1-year for a more cost-saving medical program in Malaysia, then there are many options for you to choose from.

Moving on to your questions.

Based on my personal experience, I find that what I have studied during my BSc.Biomedicine (Hons) helpful in my MBBS studies.
You mentioned that you have graduated with BSc.Biomedicine as well? may i know from where and your CGPA if you don't mind?

There is no need to use STPM since you've got an even higher qualification than that.

If you are willing to pursue the normal 5-years medical program in Malaysia, then a CGPA of 3.0 is the minimum requirement for entry using BSc. qualification.

The following are some IPTS that offers medical program to BSc. graduates:

http://www.cybermed.edu.my/cucms-web/AA_EntryMMBS.jsp
http://219.93.198.210/v2/index.php?option=...=123&Itemid=242

Refer to MMC website for that matter.

I missed this news article~ I will add this later in the list:

http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?f...22&sec=business

If MSU, you'll have to come to India like me then, but then again, it'll be 4.5years of MBBS + 1 year compulsory internship (in India).

Otherwise you can apply for Australia, UK, Poland or perhaps US graduate entry medical programs after you got your BSc. degree.
(graduate entry medical programs requires degree holders after all)

You will have to decide if you wish to do the same~

You could try Poland. Three MMC recognized universities there have 4-years graduate entry program. One of them is Medical University of Warsaw. Here is the MMC's list:

If the sutures do not slip for at least 3 days of carrying heavy books in that bag, I consider my interrupted suturing skills acceptable~

First 2.5 years in Malaysia then the rest in India.

This post has been edited by CyberSetan: Aug 23 2010, 09:26 AM

Its a reverse of Melaka Manipal Medical College. Instead of first spending 2.5 years in India for the pre and para clinical subjects and the rest of the clinical phase in Malaysia, its the other way around for Masterskill's program.

It is most likely that it will not be recognized by the MCI (Medical Council of India) same as MMMC and MSU.
Unless the Malaysian students are doing Medicine full time (4.5years + 1 year compulsory internship) along with the local Indians in that college, recognition by MCI is beyond reach.
