give respect, take respect.. simple as it may sound, it's hard to practice it thou..

I think because doctor work 48 hours and lack of sleeping cause anger/stress to be more prevalent and hard to control. Pity all the doctor...

Yeah, this days not that bad ady.. Back in like the 70s where new doctors were less, some houseman get on call for 72 hours straight.. Sometimes in one week they maybe get 3 hours sleep daily?? Maybe lesser.. Depending on the situation they are in.. So sometimes u can see the doctor grumpy and like not good mood only..

anyone here is mahsa student?
i lookin for dentistry n medic

I have yet to know which university is MAHSA collaborating with for their 3+2 MD program?
MD... I assume Indonesia?

Anyone care to clarify this?

it's an in-house programme........

they obviously have very strong political pull........they have secured the use of HKL for clinical training........

from practically nowhere, they have their own inhouse medical programme......wonder who are their lecturers..........

malaysia boleh.........

2 of our lecturers went there, a physiologist and pathologist, they are pretty good. Heard that the pay there is really good. And how the heck they are able to secure HKL O.o must have a lot of financial + political support?

lol who are the lecturers that went there?

yeah.. and anyone doing mahsa 1st year, can comment on how is the system like there?

Um, yeah, just a physiologist and a pathologist. =) They are good. honestly. In teachings and knowledge.

how do you know.......?

my point is, at this stage of you life, you have no reference point for either the competency of the lecturers, nor quality of the medical education you are receiving.......

I think he is judging from the point of view of a medical student...

For a student, good lecturer need not to be the smartest, but able to convey the message very clearly to the student. Good lecturer should also constantly update themself with the latest medical advancement...

Indication of a good lecturer is to look at the attandance rate and number of students who fell asleep.

Well said Gorila.

Onelove, Prof Gosh and Dr Mehboob, any idea who they are?

Lordblood, they re practicing integrated curriculum in Mahsa. Compare to the traditional curriculum where students have to learn three subjects in the first year and another three in the second year. In an integrated programme, students are exposed to all these subjects from the first year in "small doses". Lecturer wise- all the lecturers are really good from what i ve heard. The medical faculty dean Dato Dr Khairul is a former UM dean in charge of the faculty. His approaches to managing a private medical college are impressive, how he handles problems... However, it is still a very young medical college
Majority of the medical students are indians > chinese > malays

there isn't any new medical school started within the last 20 years that use the traditional approach........they ALL use the integrated approach.......

2nd one is the pathologist from our uni last year. 1st one I'm not so sure =/ sorry.

My mistake. Maybe the "traditional" i said is wrong. What i was trying to tell is some uni have their students study three subjects in the first year etc. and some have it the other way.

Hi guys, i might be going to Mahsa by next year if i do well on my SPM for foundation in science. So, i want to ask, how is the campus? Is it crowded?

I'm enrolling into the Mahsa Foundation programme, which hopefully I'll get to do medicine.

I've checked out so many IPTAs and IPTSs, IPTAs no need to say since i wasn't accepted for matriks or asasi, and i turned down form 6. Of all the IPTSs I've checked out, AIMST has the worst foundation programmes, but one of the best degree courses. Other unis like Monash, Nottingham, IMU was stupendously expensive, the better alternative would be going overseas to do the course. Manipal made it compulsory for ALL med, den and pharm students to complete their last 3 years of degree in India (which my mum was uncomfortable with) . CUCMS and ACMS would ask for money during application regardless of whether you're accepted later (which I think was pretty ridiculous because that shows how much they want your money). I applied for RCM but they gave me Dip in Chem Eng instead Utar was starting medicine so I applied there as well, but we all know how hard is it to enter utar itself...

So.... it came back to Mahsa.. Why? another long story

u forgot UCSI.

Yes, Housemans are new and they need to listen to the senior. Some things may seem ridiculous but they know better. Just because you're a doctor doesn't mean those of lower rank have to "kowtow" to you. You are a fresh grad and there are so many things to learn. If I get medicine I want to be like that. I want to save lives, earning money is secondary
