like i say for private flaming please PM me instead... For your info... Biotech and biomed work hand in hand in a way. In future research, we might need each other. So what for calling each other course useless?

I am much also as enthusiastic talking about biotech as biomed... why..

For the love for Biology and research

im not saying biomed useless.. but all bio-course useless in my last post..but juz jokig..hehe.. but definitely u will not make alot of money in this field unless u go into business with it...so think wat kind of life u want...

actually from my understanding after studying bio, no matter its biomed, biotech, bioinfo,pure bio and so on, you could work in the same field as each other and if you work in a different field, the things would be just slightly different.

intro you guys to a new bio field in Malaysia that i'm studying..
Medical Information Technology

I dont plan to earn alot of money. just want to do some stuff i love to do..

sorry to have misunderstood....

wow... what is it about? what are you studying about and where?

yea.. me too.. after staying in johor for 21 years, seen enough of singapore..
but now moved up to penang already.. haha
but singapore is a nice place to live in, excluding the hectic life-style and the "kiasu'ness"

dang i dont like the kiasuness...! and i dont think i will be happy there anyway... so must study hard already.. BTW have you seen the huge lab in Australia???! I so want to work there one day!

i'm studying in MMU melaka..
seems that some doctors got bored of being a doctor and went for IT..
they than combined this 2 fields and brought in this subject that is also known in other countries like japan and germany.
we study everything about bio like biochem, pathology, microbiology, genetics, anatomy, and pharmacology inclusive of computer programming, data structure, database, digital image processing and so on..
but the things that we learn are not that deep like what biomed, biochem or biotech is studying..
the range of future work is pretty wide but as we study a lot of basics the position for a the job wont be high..

now usually ppl will say 1 2 do for the love and stuff like dat..but when u really get out into the world, the only thing that matters is money...just curoius, what is it about the field that interests u so much?

depends on the person..
me i like it cos i feel i'm able to help people with it.
i can like a normal life with little to spend(after minus'ing money for parents,rent,bills,car loan)..
dun know.. its just set in my mind or heart that i would love doing it..
i can never imagine myself doing business..

but what i'm worried about what i'm studying now is no1 wants me as its totally new in malaysia n unheard of..

cool~ so you graduated already?

haha.... you did say usually but not all right.. there are ppl who does things they love....

I wanted to be a doctor.. had been my childhood dream.. however.. my results aint good.. so i decided to take biomed first and see how it goes. I grow to love it... and the opportunity it has given me... thats all

u wanted to biomedr cuz u cannot fulfill your dream become doctor?? biomed cannot become doctor wor no matter how hard u try...

evansoon, do u mean u r doing bioinformatics?? i think bioinformatics quite hot nowadays and sure can find company 1 but muz know where to look..try asking your profs they sure got a lot of recommend

you can use it for a graduate degree to pursue medicine in future.. overseas lah...

But i mmg love science and research.... dont get me wrong anyway... i just like it.. If been offered biotech oso i wan....

so wat u get offered now? biomed?? graduate d? if wait till finish degree then go other place study doc will take many many years..u r girl maybe can afford do that if family not waiting for u to feed.... but if guy very susah cuz guy responsible find money..many girl phd i noe 1 they all usually marry d..thats why they can pursue what they like without thinking money

I beg to differ... I am a living proof of that.... Doing MBBS right now.

u mean u biomed then go doctor?? can share your experience how u switch? i oso interested to hear...hehe

I didnt switch course... I studied till the end.

I am a holder of BSc.Biomedicine (Hons) and now doing MBBS in India. Some of my batch mates went to Poland for their MD.

To say that Biomedical graduates cant become doctors, is incorrect. Biomedical science subjects previously learned actually helps in MBBS/MD study (a LOT).

oic..so u not local la..now in india... so what r the requirements to masuk mbbs in india like what u study now?? study from degree again or more advance?

Minimum CGPA required is 3.00, but 3.5> is preferable. Duration of study is 4.5years (India) and 4years (Poland).

I dont need to re-study the entire pre-clinical subjects of MBBS since that have been covered in BSc.Biomedicine, but I am still required to take some supplementary classes to strengthen the basic pre-clinical subjects.

For instance, cadaver dissection was not covered in Biomedicine, therefore I need to cover that:



and another



I took those pictures during dissection class this morning (5th Jan 2009). If you can stand that, then try MBBS.

By the way, back to Biomedical science talk. It does allow you to further your studies in medicine apart from working directly in health care services.

u mean after india then haf 2 go poland?? 8.5 yrs ma siao..

No, what I meant was, after graduating from BSc.Biomedicine, some of my batch mates went to India and some went to Poland. Both studying medicine at different places.
