Does anyone know anything about ISAT scores for Monash Medicine?

You are required to sit but the scores doesn't really matter as a criteria for admission. As long as you are straight As or slightly lower in your pre-u, you will be ok.

RCSI in Ireland has LOADS of saudi and middle eastern students...

Even PMC now has loads of bumis(the non performing ones or those that drop out of UK).
Could be some ownership connections.

Some years back, Malaysians bought ownership control of Ohio University to produce US graduates!

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.

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. smile.gif The inaugural class is going into their final year soon. It's time to review the skepticism.  wink.gif

No doubt about the quality of JHSOM and their teaching methods.

Yeah, you can have the best teachers but if most of the students are not up to the level desired, the expectations and the products is questionable.

I agree that meritocracy do play a part in the recruitment of esp foreign students but the same cannot be said of locals in compliance of local policies and sponsored students.

I would also ask why would locals who have achieved brilliant results want to study in a local university when the gomen is ever willing to provide them with full resources to enable them to achieve their objective in good overseas universities.

Well, does it ever occur to you that there are in fact a lot of students out there who are late bloomers? And that some desires of becoming a doctor might come later in life? PUGSOM students are relatively older than other med students in Malaysia. They have been through a lot more than students who dive straight into med school right after Pre-U level. They have come a long way and are more mentally prepared for this. Some have worked for a few years before, while some have gotten their masters and PhD. One thing I can say for sure is that, after talking to the students, I have realized that each and everyone of them has a unique story behind their effort and how their passion will definitely fuel them through the medical years. How good are they in terms of skills and knowledge? This, I shall let you find out yourself. Brilliant results can get you into a med school, but it won't make you a good doctor. It's more than that.

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.

I just hope that people can view things with a wider range of perspectives, PU students are not the only ones who are entitled to JPA scholarship. Students who are accepted into local public unis are entitled to apply for it too, plus they are able to obtain it fairly easy. The reason that all students who are enrolled in PUGSOM currently are JPA scholars is no rocket science, it simply means that those who couldn't secure a scholarship have dropped out. True story.

First, people were making fun of the tuition fee.
Then, they started saying the name of Johns Hopkins were merely show-biz.
And now people are doubting the quality of the students?

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.

Late bloomers are exceptions and not the norm and are not plenty.

Older students in no way means that they are more matured and has a higher degree of passion. In a country where the entrance to med schools are by way of graduate entry, then you see a lot of older students compared to other courses. Other than that, most of these students fail to get direct entry into their preferred choice of med schools and by obtaining a related degree, gives them a second bite at the cherry.

The reason why PU students are on scholarship is becoz no decent student is going to pay that kind of fees charged and this is merely a blurred vision of a Mamak who has done so much harm to our country that is bringing us down to our knees.

There is a strong likelihood of this going the same way as another Albukhary University when the Mamak is no longer around. A University giving full scholarships to students will never be a sustainable one.

Getting into a uni of one's choice and applying for a scholarship on merit is different from getting into a university WITH a scholarship given.

Moreover, how many top students actually choose PU as their first choice?

Technically, according to the provisions found in SECTION 304 of DIVISION 4 of PART X (WINDING UP) of the COMPANIES ACT 1965 (REVISED - 1973), a director of a company that is wound up because it is insolvent can be made personally liable for such of its debts as the court sees fit, if there has been ‘wrongful trading’. There has been wrongful trading if, at some time beforehand, a director knew (or ‘ought reasonably to have concluded’) that there was no reasonable prospect of avoiding the insolvent firm winding up, but did not take ‘every step’ to minimize the potential loss to the company’s creditors.

However, in page 199 of the report titled, ‘Directors' Personal Liability for Corporate Fault: A Comparative Analysis (2008),’ it states:

Personally liable?

Not likely if you are on the right side of the fence.

The AG recently has been harping on the key word "INTENTION".

If on the right side, sure no intention one!
