WHere can i get info on the jpa-sponsored graduate entry for medicine?
What about the requirements and procedure for graduates to apply for medicine in local universities?

IMU only recognized if you get to UK or others which recognized by SMC in your twinning year. So it actually kinda recognized by SMC.

Also , something to add on if you think doctors earn big bucks you are totally wrong.
The basic pay of fresh graduates of doctor is only RM2000 with only additional RM80 every year.
Comparing with the amount of time and money you spent on the course ; do some calculations ^^.

However , if that's really your interest. I wish you best of luck, it'll be tough so do some research.

It's around that sum of money 2k+ , if you wanna know confirm ask the doctors =).
Coz I've already asked.

there are a bit of allowances, so once added in, and minus the tax and epf, expect to take home 3+ to 4+k, depending on how many calls you have to do..........

having said what i did, one really should NOT be allowed to enter med school from spm..........so the pre-u is probably more important.......and yes, there is indeed still opportunity to redeem oneself.........

How about Monash,Newcastle,Nottingham and many other foreign U which has a campus in Malaysia?

noted

Well, I have doubts.

Can we, undergraduates, actually skip the housemanship and go overseas to do postgraduates?

smc have taken people from unrecognised unis in as doctors many times before, on a person to person basis........eg, long before they recognised um and ukm 3 years ago, they have taken in graduates from um even in the late 70's.....so theoretically, a usci graduate can gain registration and work as a doctor in spore.........

as for usmle, ucsi is listed in the imed directory and thus students are allowed to sit for usmle to gain recognition to work in the us........

note that most of the new ipts med schools are not in the list.........

they use ecfmg to determine eligibility, and ecfmg uses the imed list, as managed by faimer..........

Nah, I reckon they've shortage of lecturers too, and will try to import lecturers from other countries. Ppl tend to think that UCSI has a long establishment compared to the new IPTS, and they'll go 'this uni should be better', and there we have it. Still, RM600 for application fee is just way too much, just my opinion.
Well, I reckon the quality of the students depend partially on the uni, but also on the students themselves. So if they were to work hard, then surely they'll get much more out of it.

just wondering for those seniors, clinical outweighs preclinical? or are they equally important in terms of being a doctor in the future.

is there a direct link i can refer to ? 

the exam does not solve the other set of problems......ie, the quality of local graduates, both ipta and ipts.....

there is also fear about the transparent conduct of the exam, lest it become another version of the clp for lawyers, which is designed to block and 'engineer' who gets admitted to the bar.....(see the court case a couple of years ago)....

and finally, the logistic difficulty of conducting such an exam for 3000+ new graduates from overseas, if there is a clinical component......

a simpler way of enduring quality is simply to tighten who gets admitted into medical schools......but the mohe/moh have painted themselves into a corner, by allowing too many private schools, and recognising too many foreign med schools.......pathways they have little or no control over.....

in any case, the feeling amongst the profession is, the gov in general is not concerned about quality......they just want the numbers filled.....after all decision makers don't use gov hospitals anyway.....
