Dear OMG...

I am afraid yes.. I dont know about other uni tho but in IMU he have module like haematology. And we did learn how to draw blood *venepuncture*. During practicals, most of em involves pricking finger for blood sample.... smile.gif

Wow.. so many people are interested in Biomed..
Anyone heard of human biosciences?
Malaysia i dun think got this course..
Oversea oso not alot .. Haha..
But if anyone happens to know and experienced before...
Please share~ Thanks na~  biggrin.gif

_____________________________________________________________

Random thought bellow:

To me.. I think.. Well, just study what you like now.. And enjoy.. then worry later..
Its probably the stupidest thing ever.. I mean to think this way..
This field might be a waste time and money.. If you want to have high pay in short time..

Alas! It may not even be the profession that most people deem it to be..
But, being able to study bioscience is fascinating.. Its beyond description..
Imagine the knowledge you get is so much more than what other people have..
Knowing the operation and relation of very bit of our cells.. Bacteria etc..
Its really worth the energy, money, sweat and blood... The passion of studying!

Well, yea.. Just like some people say we should wake up cause this course brings allot of worries.. There are no easy way in this course to some but not to some others at the same time..

However, in this kind of time when we still have the opportunity to choose..
Just go for what we want most and forget everything else.. You can criticise this thought as childish.. This may make you sound superior for being able to look at the future so you said..

Who knows, we may even end up being a normal lab technician.. But, what better of it, if we can only work in an office? I don't like the look of me as OL..I don't like the feel of it either.. And I believe there are always chances for me to do what I want even if I am working in jobs that relate just a few bit to this field..

We are too young to give up hope or stop going in for a life adventure... We may find unexpected treasure if we keep trying.. Sound too idealistic? Just tear that old mentality of yours and dream a little more.. We Asians are too conservative at times..

Since life is just a fleeting moment of existence.. Why not just go for something out of norm rite? Experience weirder things! There is no wrong or right.. It all depends on your priority... I would say you should stroll your own pathway.. 

Yay~ Biomed rocks~!!  biggrin.gif

Quite a few of my frens studying biomedic, and what they thought is as a lab technician who carry out a lots of urine and blood testing.

however, diseases reseach is also one of the area involved.

biomedic students have to study the exact subjects as a pharmacy students during first year.they touch on biochem, physiology anatomy.

The field of Biomedical Science is wide... So, whether or not you end up as a lab technician, if solely on how you think and your mindset. Really..

There are more to Biomedical Science than just lab testing.

In a way is true... I wouldnt say that I am an experiencer... BUT! I believe that the future of a person depend very much on their attitude.

Biomedical Science is a course that need constant upgrading.. and it is wide. Hence, alot of people take it as a preparatory course before they proceed with their medical degree. I had a senior who told me that with a Biomedical Science degree.. it sorta make you understand medicine better. In a way, it prepares you..

Working as a lab tech.. etc... This is because the person only have a degree... Let's face it.. Who would want to give you a lavish pay when you only have a degree? Take the initiative and further your studies.. Specialize! No1 look at degree nowadays.

i am doing my final year in IMU...

We had both physical chem and org chem... Biochemistry and clinical biochemistry... Bioanalysis is also about chemistry....

I am not saying that is is solely biochemistry...

I am trying to say that, Chemistry is important as well....

@stinkbomb...,

msu and utar are other choices that I know of.

The course, honestly speaking coz I am the first bath of student. We tend to be the "guinea pigs" haha.. All in all, there are lotsa good things and bad...depending on individuals and style of learning. IMU, I must say, I went through shit when I was sem 1-3.. Very busy and lots of things to do. Sem 5 onwards.. It is more lax-ed. I would explain more if you ask more specific questions on what you wana know..

As for fee.. I am not very sure. It seemed like there is a raise in fee... mine was around 80k. for 6 sems. The new batch had to pay more...

Yes... only more free timetable. But workload are still the same.... What I meant "easier" is only... time spent in uni is less... haha...

Go to this FB site I set up.. You can meet different people from malaysia from different uni. Then you can get more insights.

We are mostly assessed on 70% exam and 30% coursework (which include report assignments and class tests).

As for future... I might just further on my studies up to PhD and maybe be a lecturer... smile.gif


Added on August 9, 2010, 10:38 pmanyway, it will be beneficial for you too if you read this post from the front page onwards.... Get to know more.. smile.gif

Haha... Thanks~ !!.. Yeap we do have presentation and stuff.. It is under coursework... Well, yea, I do thought about that consequences. But I am like.. Y not.. I had taken this path.. Might as well take whatever that comes in my way. In between degree and PhD.. maybe just work alil part time in some labs.... I couldnt expect much with a degree in malaysia...

...and to n_n, you did your practical training already or not? I STRONGLY suggest you find a Govt. hospital lab for your training. Find a major hospital if you can.

Do all you can, call whoever as long as you get a place in a govt. hospital laboratory. They got the resources to provide you with "hands-on" training, you can practice all you want there, even do "overtime" if you wish.

Hey, they thing about IMU, they don't let us to choose where we want to go for our practical training. They arranged for us. I am doing mine in Lablink KPJ gp... O.o... I do wish to work in a hospital tho.. sad.gif
