RM250K for a newly setup IPTS is very expensive. AIMST which is more well established and recognized by the MMC cost only 220K.

Seriously, why do we need so many medical schools? Does MASHA have enough lecturers to run the medical course?

Well, if your result is only TER80, you need to work really hard in medical school, as medicine is quite tough and requires a lot of hard work. BTW, i would suggest enrolling in other more established medical schools, as you will most likely be caught up in the doctor surplus period. When that time comes, the gov will most likely employ medical graduates from better known medical schools.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah man, Malaysia boleh.

If that's the case, the public will suffer.

Now now, that's generalization again. Not all doctors trained in these countries are shitty. Many are bright students on JPA scholarship. Also, many Unis in these countries are more established than the newly setup local IPTS.

Mind, you, i do agree with your point that only bright, dedicated, and interested students should enter medical course

My advice, try to aim for AIMST by joining its foundation first if your SAM result is not accepted. I am not sure about CUCMS but I strongly advise against it as it is also a new medical school.

Dun bother trying for IMU (local MBBS), MMMC or PMC, as the tuition fees are way too expensive, definitely not worth the money. Monash Malaysia is also a good option, as it is recognized by AMC. However, your TER must be >96 to be eligible.

Perhaps you can repeat SAM, try to score TER>90, then apply for IMU's PMS option. It is a very good programme.

Self praise eh? Since you are a medical graduate from UM

Are you aware how many famous Indian grad doctors are serving in our country? Also, there are many incompetent doctors from western countries as well as IPTA (non-bumi). If you are a practicing doctor in hospital, you should be aware of these facts. Never judge where a doctor is from, but instead judge him/her based on capabilities.

I am not sure about indo and russia, but as far as India is concerned, graduates from Top medical schools are generally competent, as these schools want to maintain their reputation.

Added on February 21, 2009, 6:32 pmSeriously, this statement is very biased. It shows that you know nothing about medicine. Stop giving advice if you dun know anything about it.

So you are implying that ALL doctors from these countries are incompetent?

Also, the MASHA programme hasn't even started yet, how can you tell whether it is good or bad??

You should tell your dear friend/relative haya to stop generalizing.

Many Msians doctor are from KMC Manipal, which was ranked no.7 in India last year (not bragging, just facts, and KMC has nothing to do with MMMC)

Passion is definitely a requirement for medicine, so is intelligence. If one is not bright enough, how can he/she respond when there's an emergency case?

There's a reason why only top students can enter med school in western countries you know?

BTW, MARA has arrangement with western U to allow substandard students into medicine? That's really unbelievable.

As the result, future doctors will be forced to obtain well known specialist degrees which will distinguish themselves from other incompetent doctors.

Hopefully when Pakatan comes to power, they will do something about it. YB Lim Kit Siang is well aware of such issues in Malaysia, and he even blogged about it.

Trust me, when big money is involved, it's that serious.

May i know where did he graduate from? There are many medical schools in India, and most medical grads from the top 10 schools won't make such mistake.
Also, pls dun generalize based on one doctor's performance.
BTW, i am not an Indian grad. You should know that.

BTW, why did you talk to him on the phone so late at night? He's your MO or houseman?

Just curious, are you a UK grad?

Well, if you want to put it that way, then it's fine with me.

BTW, is he your MO or something? I thought you are a district health director? Health director needs to run rural clinic??

Nah, lazy to think. Have been studying the whole damn day need some rest.

You are really good at avoiding questions, aren't you?

Haha, yeah, i am.

You as an experienced doctor, why dun you give me differential of upper GI bleed?

This post has been edited by hypermax: Feb 22 2009, 01:27 AM

May i know where you graduated? Currently working?

I dun get what you mean.

Haih, i am asking you an entirely different question lar i wasn't answering your question. Rectum is confirm lower GI lar. Any medical student know that lar.

Let me ask you another question, what's the most common presentation for Upper GI bleed? IF you dun know you can jump.

What the....
That's bloody obvious that i was asking you another question.
So, what's the answer to my simple question?

In the end of days, you are going to ask me all the questions while you answer none of mine?

This post has been edited by hypermax: Feb 22 2009, 01:45 AM

I see. May i know which year? You on scholarship?

So after graduating, can you stay there and specialize? Or do you have to come back to Msia?

My god, limmeu, it takes you so freaking long to answer my upper GI question? Are you really a medical graduate from UM?
