Hi guys, I'm new here and I have few doubts to ask you fellas smile.gif

I intend to take up AUCMS' MD UKM programme. If I'm not mistaken, this is the 3rd intake. However, the marketing personnel told me that it already has MMC recognition?? I thought MMC's recognition is only possible after the 5th year (pioneer batch)'s graduation. A quick reference with MMC's Jadual Kedua states that only ACMS's MD USU is recognized. I even called MMC personally, and was told that only ACMS' MD UKM is recognized.

Confused! So which one is true?? MMC's recognition is for the University or specifically for the degree ONLY. Clarification, please.

Secondly, regarding a bigger fish, USMLE.
I have gathered some info on USMLE which enables one to serve in US a International Medical Graduate. Only grads from IMED listed schools can apply for USMLE. AUCMS is not listed under IMED as expected. So it's MD grads can't take USMLE, right?

Is there any chance for AUCMS to be listed under IMED??

Plz dont. AUCMS is a lie basically. my brother used to study there under the MD USU programme before changing to MSU.
Dont bother. The management is a mess. They lie to you, yes LIE. They told the parents and students that MD USU programme is an international class, everything conducted in english and recognized world wide, but everything was a lie, nothing was conducted in english as told.

MD UKM programme is a joke, almost 15 ppl fail each batch for their final exams, class conducted via video conference, Lecturers are from phillipines and pakistan. Facilities is a joke, lab equipments borrowed from a school in front of their sri serdang(kepala batas) campus. Malu wey!!! Theyre too busy funding 6 scam artist (from AC Konsortium) to do programmes for their students, (ie AUCMS idol, program cantik dan sihat bersama rosma dan salima AF) etc etc.

Seriously, AUCMS is a JOKE to all medical institution out there. Dont bother. Dato Dr Zainuddin Wazir can eat shit

Wow! My first ever post on this forum and it has been met with such a negativity tongue.gif I never thought AUCMS' facilities would be subjected to much hammering. It was all glossy as it's in their Facebook page. Yup, I heard about that video conference thingy too and sometimes classes get cancelled altogether due to technical issues! However, their course fee is quite appealing, at RM308K for MD UKM. Not like some others that cost RM800K !! Recently they manage to ink a deal with local banks to provide study loans for medical students. And all the exams are exactly the same with UKM's, as I've been told by their marketing personnel. Lastly, I did saw a number of CUCMS students at the interview.

Hmmm.....I'm seriously getting old but I'm not going to burn RM308K for below par education if it's true as what you guys said.
Any other opinions on AUCMS?

Also, about USMLE. Is it advisable to take USMLE (Part 1) as a 3rd year student?

800k..most in malaysia are less then 300k.. Mahsa, MSU , AIMST are all better choices compared to AUCMS and all of them are less then 300k..
plz dont be fooled by the UKM title

Maybe I'll skip AUCMS. About MSU and MAHSA, I'm sure you are aware that those two are yet to be recognized by MMC as in their Second Schedule? And, I personally don't like AIMST much. Their marketing personnel gave me wrong info.

I'm about to attend an interview with IMU in two weeks time, but the only problem is their August intake is already full so I have to wait until next year February for any confirmation. I'm already 24 this year, spent the last 4 years working to muster up the course fees so I kinda unwilling to wait any longer.

By 800K, obviously I mean UP-John Hopkins, Serdang. But, my budget is only RM300K+ inclusive of PTPTN, what do you think will be the best choice and also recognized by MMC?

apart from IMU,i think u should try the USM India medical programme.Mara is sponosring students to study med at USM India too.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the accident of my birth disqualifies me from getting MARA's loan. The programme costs USD100K. Once, I have appealed for USM's IPTA medic but they are more interested in promoting their India twinning programme than replying to my appeal. I wonder what are the advantages of studying medicine in India? Of course there's the plethora of unique clinical cases there, but apart from that?
