while in the principle of individual endeavour, that would sound like the correct thing to say, in real life, the degree you hold determines recognition and license to work........whether you like it or not.....

there are of course back doors, where one can sit for qualifying exams set by regulatory authorities of various countries, but that is inviting unnecessary trouble and hardship......

let's face it, those msians who have unrecognised degrees have them purely because they had been unable (did not qualify) to get into recognisable medical programmes......i don't know of anyone who will choose to go to an unrecognised med school over a recognised one........and they face a big hurdle, many cannot pass the qualifying exams in spite of repeated attempts.....

many fail because they are poorly trained in the first place........and because they were weak students (go look at some of the spm/stpm/pre-u results), who would not have been able to get into a reputable med school........and probably should not have gone to med school in the first place.......

there is NO uncertainty.........the list is there for all to see.........those going overseas to unrecognised med schools know exactly what they are getting into.......or should......there is no excuse for pleading ignorance.......

like i said elsewhere, ALL local med schools, ipta or ipts, will be recognised.......that is a political decision...........
