good luck cgan.

limeuu mentioned ppl got into dentistry with BBB, not mbbs i think.

cgan: what makes u wanna be a doctor? passion? nothing better to do? or $? or the perceived fame and respect?

Mind to tell where did they drop out from? They got kicked out or they voluntarily quit the course.

And "passion" is over-rated ler, lol.

i'm not limeuu but it's definitely not worth it. I dont think you can work in the UK for F1, so you will not be registered under GMC.

Even UK's IMGs are finding it hard to continue postgraduate work there, ur chances are pretty slim. And SMC does not recognise NUMED either because you've done your clinical years outside the main campus.

They'll get a diploma-ish cert aka transcript from IMU once they have complete phase I. Once they are transfered to PMS, IMU has nothing to do with them anymore unless they wanna be transfered back to IMU clinical school (ie fail).

During graduation they'll be conferred degree from PMS, nothing from IMU. Unless some people demand first and second year transcripts, there'll be no clue that they're from IMU lol. Most healthboards/hospitals require only the graduation cert and 18 months of transcript from date of application so the IMU transcript can be "hidden".

Added on May 24, 2010, 6:33 pmI am one of the med student who knows nothing when i entered med school so i feel compelled to say something here lol. To answer your Q yes all private medical universities in Malaysia only allow students to practise in Malaysia as recognised by MMC.

SMC only recognises medical course from UM and UKM and they must be done in the main campus. SMC only recognised medical degrees conferred by universities when the Clinical-Year is done at the main campus. However, SMC also takes up medical graduates from unrecognised med school in malaysia on a case by case basis and it had been happening for decades.

GMC only recognises UK medical schools for undergraduates, or you can take PLAB but PLAB has lost its purpose since the new rule came out in 2006.

AMC/NZMC only recognises AUS/NZ medical schools, or you can take AMC examination (for Aus) or NZREX (for NZ). Looking at the medical student tsunami in AUS, AMC examination has also lost its purpose lol. And lastly when the tsunami hits NZ, NZREX would be deemed irrelevant too (but it is unlikely in 3 years to come).

I'm not so certain about Ireland Medical Council.

And lastly, US seemed to be the most generous country - as long as you passed your USMLE (I dont know how many steps you needa get through, but as long as you get through them you'll be offered some jobs and residency, and US residency has the shortest training duration and it IS the best, they have the most novel treatments and interventions).
