I have an offer for MBBS from MSU. I am seriously considering this offer, however would like to extend my dilemma to LYN users just to get fresh prospects. I'm wondering if i should accept and move on with it.

The situation: I hold a degree. In fact, i've completed Mpharm. from abroad, uk.
I've applied to IMU, to which they hve rejected me based on missing out 1 point of my I.B grades and on top of that i've only achieved a second lower in my degree (58% - just 2% of a second higher). The ultimatum given was that IMU would like to see me having atleast 2 yrs work exp. which basically means I could finish my Pharmacy registration in tht amt of time (2-3 yrs) and be under the M'sian Pharm. Board, which allows me to work independently if choose to do so.

So, to re-cap the situation, should I pursue my pharm. registration for now and then re-apply to accredited Med sch. as IMU, etc. or should I hitch on the ride now since i have already received an unconditional MBBS offer from MSU, given that the prog. is not as established as IMU?
(MSU mbbs don't allow you to work abroad for further studies right?)

OR - 3rd option - pursue Pharm. and just forget Med. because as pharmacy allows you to have a better general quality of life (such as working hrs, registrations/reguulations, etc.) than medicine? 

*Note about myself:
I am a knowledge seeker, I know i will enjoy studying medicine jst as ive done 4 yrs of pharm. school, so to me it feels like pharmacy can be a stepping stone in life to pursue to the next level - a Doctor - an authoritative figure, bigger responsibilities, leader, that pretty much will test all aspects of your capabilities to the limit; only a few reaches that optimal point where you have successfully balance your weaknesses to your strengths, thus attaining the true level of competency as a Medical Doctor. This is what i see Medicine is all about.

On the other hand, I am also able to accept Pharmacy profession just because i already have it in hand. Working as a pharmacist can still also land you an important role in medical world (not to sure about Msia?), although I probably will look into opening my own pharmacy business if chosen not to pursue Medicine. Ultimately, will still be happy with life given the less no. of working hrs and days, allows me to spend time with loved ones at home and on top of that, still will be financially stable as compared to a Doctor.

So - there you have it. In M''sia with the current trend and prospects, is it worth-while for me to pursue my passion for medicine NOW (or wait 2 yrs for IMU) or is it better to invest the money, time and effort into Pharm. and develop from there?

Please, plzz help me by providing your advice, thoughts or any comments from experiences will be much appreciated! THANKS LYN.

@Huskies

Thanks for providing an insightful comment. I am not going to disagree with any of the things you mentioned above, as it's all true. I guess my biggest fear is that if i decide to opt for passion (medicine) now, will i lose out in life when i grad (as your analogous suggests - giant sinking ship)...as in face problems with registration/housemanship due to the over-flooding of 'medical graduates'?

Instead i can steer clear of all this semi-foreseen obstacles and use my pharm. degree for a better purpose.

Hmm, interesting indeed...haha,  to be honest, i am stumped!

...and thats RM100 MILLION already (RM50 MILLION from JPA alone)~ 
Najib so enthusiastic about it~ has he got some interest in it~? 

lol companies that are not public listed have no obligation to show the public their financial statements ^^" It's not weird at all that you can't find their financial statements available publicly.

they will still consider this pseudo-jh because it will be very much EASIER to get in.........

presumably the perdana will incorporate the usmle step 1 and 2 into their programme, so graduates will be able to look for jobs in the us on graduation.....

not that different from some students from ipts who undertake the usmle privately......

The reasons are not obvious? 
If no money are funded, how can work in the US? 

the universities CANNOT help foreigners get housemanship jobs....individuals will need to apply directly to the jpa and ministry of health for the job.....

it is amazing what they will promise to get people's money........

Limeuu, do you mind explaining about the possibility of working in Ireland if he/she studied in PMC. I was wondering why most PMC graduates got stuck in Malaysia.

he was basing the calculations on 4k doctors a year.....last year it was 6+k.....

and has anyone thought about what happens when we reach the magical 'target'?.....just suddenly close 1/2 the med schools?.....we will only need <3k doctors to keep constant (replace retiring/dead doctors) then......and we are producing 7k.....what happens to the extra thousands with no jobs?....
