QUOTE(podrunner @ Jan 17 2012, 10:12 PM) Sabah - specifically Lahad Datu, Tawau and Semporna, where more than half the residents are filipinos and indonesians. yeah lots of illegal immigrants and problems with them there. These three places are rather small though, will they get enough clinical exposure? Nice sceneries though =P |

QUOTE(Gangster @ Jan 18 2012, 10:58 PM) Still possible isn't it ? Another 5 years and things might be a little different? Do you also get paid as a housemanship and how much time do you have to spent till u get the full registration and is there any other way to get full registration? Housemanship for 2 years to get registered. Yes you do get paid. I think it's 2 years of housemanship and 3 years of govn service if I'm not mistaken. |

you still have to work for the gov for the first 5 years. so doesn't make a difference. After that, then you decide for yourself. =) I heard that a lot of the govn doctors are doing part time in private hospitals. so... that'll tell you something.
I think it's still possible to apply for JPA after your Alvls. so you can try, cant guarantee you getting it. |

QUOTE(yummyiphone @ Apr 3 2012, 08:24 PM) reading through pagalavan.com is so damn depressing! The "CaMS" thread is mostly post mbbs student discussing though. Reading through this thread mostly bash about the prospect of this job. honestly speaking, if its the field for you then go ahead. Don't worry bout the future. If you study hard and be a good doctor, i don't see why you cant get a job. |

QUOTE(sg999 @ Feb 20 2013, 07:13 PM) Sounds pretty nonsense really. anyway, I'll still like to steer ppl away from choosing Russia though, so, have a think bout it and do more research if that's one of your options. I am beginning to understand why US and AUS is moving towards postgrad entry for med now, I guess there are pros and cons for that. My psychiatrist reg joked about saying that maybe they deliberately make it 5-6 years to wait for our brains to mature, esp us boys ;p haha. anyway, sorry for being circumferential, but yes, India and Indon (depends which uni, my friend is in Gajah Mada, heard that it ain't so bad) would be better choices than Russia. If not, you can also opt for local U or some more well established med schools here like monash and IMU. |

QUOTE(cute_miao @ Jan 22 2014, 06:05 AM) Do not study in a college located in titiwangsa. Mind elaborating? That would be Perdana college =P it's ok to mention the names of the college. It's very obvious. I did encounter their 3rd year bunch in HKL, they said something bout being able to practice in US or something? The details are very blurry. a lot problem will happen after completion of ur studies QUOTE(limeuu @ Jan 22 2014, 09:14 AM) the glut would have happened even without the new ipts med schools.....but they will make it worse....half of the ipts med schools, the new ones all haven't graduated any students yet..... I heard that pharmacy is increasing it's requirements to AAA, funny how others are reluctant to change the minimum requirements for medicine. I'm worried of the increasing numbers of incompetent graduates flooding the medical system in Malaysia. In the end, it's the patients who suffer.the main cause of the glut is the lowering of entry requirements and standards, enabling a whole generation of mediocre students with money to find a med school and graduate...... |

Do something much more accredited like SAM/Alevels if you want to go for med those nigerians all stuck inside one small room to hide it from local students eye view. |

truth is so obvious yet they still ponder why those who are skilled and talented are leaving the country. The selection criteria has always been flawed since long time ago. I've heard people getting JPA scholarship to do medicine in UK (of course pre-U first) with just 2As in their SPM.

Taiwan med needs 7 years. I think 1st year being a 'general' year. My friend who did dentistry there had a year of general science subjects, with some others like PE (yes, physical activities), and music. The sad thing is that msia don't recognize most of the certs from taiwan.
Who told you that cucms is 'ok'? The word 'ok' seems misleading. There were many issues with the uni. I remembered back 6 years ago, even the more well established unis had troubles keeping good lecturers. Let alone the new ones. I'm not sure of the situation now. But you get the idea. I would say stay away from CUCMS? MAHSA is a maybe. Lincoln I have no idea about really. Too many 'new' med schools. Just stick with the old ones |

QUOTE(cakes&cream @ Apr 15 2014, 10:19 PM) 90% of the PUGSOM professors are directly from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (JHSOM). Different professors with different specialties fly in all the way from Baltimore to teach each different modules/subjects. These professors have years of experience in teaching and are top scientist-physicians. Their dedication and enthusiasm towards teaching is another thing that shouldn't be overlooked. They give clear explanations on their lectures and forever welcome the students to raise any sort of questions, in class or via email, as there are no such thing as stupid question in medicine. They will reply your emails even if you email them during the weekends. I have met one of the lecturers teaching general medicine while I was doing my placement in HKL last year. And I do agree, he was really passionate in teaching, very nice and very knowledgeable. I think the only issue was the barrier of language and communication between patients. The students that I met were really smart, pretty much better than most of the interns there at the time when being put on the spot to answer some questions. Another thing to note is that PUGSOM students use the same teaching materials as the ones being used by Hopkins students. So yes, as you might have guessed, they are following the exact syllabus used by JHSOM. I would say that the Genes to Society curriculum is a revolutionary break through in medical education. It emphasizes on treating the patient as an individual and not the disease. A lot of clinical correlations are embedded in the lectures so that students are aware of the clinical significance even just studying from the materials. Clinical exposure is as early the 1st week at school! How well are the PUGSOM students doing? Just pay a visit to HKL and you shall see what's so special about them. I've only seen a part of the whole course, but I'm happy enough to have a chance to engage with the handful and see how things are like. |

QUOTE(cakes&cream @ Apr 16 2014, 08:03 PM) Let's imagine this scenario. You're a first year med student visiting an A&E department in a government hospital for a clerkship session. You prompt the HO which is assigned to teach you, and the HO just asks you to go home. He just takes his sweet time chatting away with other HOs at the counter when patients who are sent in laid unconscious and bleeding on the bed. Only bothered to make a move when it's exactly 4PM and time for him to go home. Now, this kinda attitude? You'll never find in PUGSOM. The first batch isn't even out yet, how can you say that PUGSOM doesn't have these type of doctors in the future? Potentially, ANY graduates can become like this due to the environment and attitude resonating in Malaysia health care system.I mean, seriously, what is it about PUGSOM that makes people having such strong grudges against it? I really cannot fathom any of this. Sometimes it's really pointless explaining when people will still choose to believe what they want to believe. I'll just sit back, relax and let the soon-graduating class to show the world what they are made of. No one is having grudges against PU. It could be a wrong timing when it was established amongst all the private med schools mushrooming in Malaysia. But I do understand, RM1M for tuition fees is a hefty bill to pay, and the only way to pay is by scholarship, which brings us to the question of the allocation of funds/money in the country. I'm sure every private unis out there (esp the new ones) would say the same: we provide the best, best students, best selection criteria, and we'll let the graduates do the talking. You see where I'm getting at? I've only witnessed a small aspect of it, which was good, but doesn't reflect the overall picture. I'm not saying its bad either. I guess for RM1M, one could argue, including me, why the money couldn't be spent on sending the bright (or 'bright') students overseas directly? Given they can get in of course - with more resources, better structured learning, and better accreditation. I'm just putting it out there. |
