i'm pretty sure he wants to know your choice of PMS-IMU or Local-IMU.

both registrable with mmc (duh.....of course lah)

fees for imu-pms will of course depend on where you partner off to........but will be significantly more than monash msia.........

I'm not sure if any of u all notice this but Allianze College of Medical Science (ACMS) is collaborating with UKM for one of their medical degrees and upon successful completion of the course students would be awarded a Doctor of Medicine (MD) by UKM. I find it interesting cause even students who took private pre-u courses like A-Levels, SAM, CPU can apply. Total course fees is RM307,500. I wonder how is the quality of this med school?

LOL. My friend showed me the same pic u showed here. Did he take it from u? hahahaa he too is stdying in india now taking MBBS. A super smart student who scored 4As but he told me that somehow students there look down on him cos he's not a JPA scholars. Sad for him~

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

Of course any pre-U can apply la! This is a private medical programme offered by a private medical school. To me,it is not worthy to earn a degree of UKM with totally different academic teaching groups with the fees of more than RM300k. Just for your information any UKM or UM medical programme done outside of the main campus is not recognized by Singapore Medical Council(SMC).

Since,there is nothing very special of this programme with any other private medical programme,so,it is not really worthy to spend so much to earn a MD of UKM. Quality wise,I don't see any differences between this programme and other medical programme offered by ACMS because the academic staff is the same.

Just my 2 cents.

Are you sure this is not recognized?I wonder how they know that since the cert will be the same I think.
Any link?

Your transcripts.
and usually if you look at recognitions they do mention this recognition only applies to the course done in the home campus of the institution offering the course or something like that.

How about Monash,Newcastle,Nottingham and many other foreign U which has a campus in Malaysia?

the foreign campuses would usually have to apply for recognition as well which is separate from the recognition received by the main campus back in their home country. Qualification obtained in their campus here might not be recognized back in their country like their main campus there though it may be recognized here.

only medskols with their clinical years done in the country of origin are recognised, like IMU-PMS route, but not penang medical college-RCSI/UCD, Monash, UKM, and Newcastle. Things might change though.

It's sad that PMC is having the other way round, if it's offering clinicals in ireland, I don't mind going there. Um, I heard that you can actually transfer to monash for clinicals starting this year? But it's like 1-2 out of the whole batch i reckon. Not sure about newcastle, but it's rather the same as PMC: clinicals in msia.

unlike msia (and other 3rd world countries, including russia) where they can take in hundreds of medical students with no place to provide clinical training for them, the developed countries, particularly uk/ireland and oz/nz have very strict rules about how many clinical students can be trained, based on the number of beds/patients and teachers available..........

therefore, most of their med schools already are at MAXIMUM allowed capacity for clinical training.........

which is why they see it better to expand their capacity through conducting the clinical training in msia, where such rules are lax........

and that is also why monash does not allow transfers to melbourne for clinicals....

there is a less stringent rule for pre-clinicals, hence conducting that part in the original country, like pmc, and the first 2 batches of monash msia......

imu's model does not stress the partner clinical schools, as each partner only provide very small number of places, many just 2 places per batch....and some clinical vacancies always occur due to people dropping out of their own programme........

it's a new phenomena, that of universities conducting medical training out of their own country.....and regulatory bodies deal with this differently.....spore insist on only recognising those with clinical training done in the parent country.......uk rule that the major part of the course (doesn't matter pre-clinical or clinical) must be done in the parent country....and thus pmc and monash msia are not recognised..........

the gmc rule may change, as their own newcastle is about to start a 100% msia based medical programme........

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

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?
