hey people, i have switched to dentistry which will commence this february too.
victor,
hi
can i ask, how you pay for the fees?
who's your sponsor?
JPA or MARA?
Hey!Can IMU graduates work in singapore?not doing twinning programme..thank you!
Hi all, I'm a M2/06 graduate now practising in Toowoomba (just outside Brisbane); you'll be surprised how how many Malaysians and even clinical professors you'll meet along the way over here.
The neurologist over here used to teach over at Seremban, he still has a photo of the first IMU graduate batch sitting on his desk
We also have a IMU-NZ grad that matched into anaesthetics and is now completing her residency.
I graduated from UQ last year and am now completing my internship -- let me know if you have any questions about IMU, Australia, or the matching process and I'll try my best to answer them.
hey omni! respect! I was just at brissie visiting my friends not long ago. i was aiming at working thr too, assuming i pass my interview with IMU this Oct via online (while wrapping up my contract in perth atm) and also assuming i can land an internship in queensland too.too many assumptions but i'll try my best...i have too many questions to ask but i guess you could probably advise me abit on the interview Qs?
i applied for the graduate-entry imu-pms btw.how many graduate-entry students were thr in ur batch?
There were two of us which were graduates (already holding an undergraduate degree) -- one from Singapore (and has returned to Singapore to start her PGY1 training there) and me
You'll be at an advantage if you already have a degree as you'll only be in IMU for 2.5 years and don't have to stick it out for another year like the other students do to get a BMed Sci at IMU -- U Queensland as you know only accepts graduate students into their MBBS program via IMU.
Many thanks Omni. But 2 graduate students only for your batch?! wow things have changed over the years mann. IMU's looking at cashing in 8 for feb-2012 intake.
i suppose there's a ~6-mth gap after 2.5yrs in IMU prior to starting in UQ, cos UQ's MBBS sem starts ard jan/feb each yr right?
how can a graduate student possibly catch up with his peers should he be matched UQ that only gives 2 years of clinical training prior to graduation?
Medical schools in the United States also only have two years of clinical training prior to graduation and their graduates turn out fine. You shouldn't be at a disadvantage post-graduate year.
As for undergraduate vs graduate entry at IMU, the tutorials are all the same; you're on the same level playing field so to speak.
