Hi, planning to apply for UM mbbs through SATU. As I did igcse then a levels, is spm bm and sejarah needed to apply? The website showing the requirements didn’t mention anything regarding spm bm/sejarah. Thanks for any help!
Hi! I'm currently applying for an mbbs in Malaysia. Did some reading and found that applying for the standard pathway with 2 years of HO experience + taking your amc 1 exams as an MO gives a sensible chance at securing a job, as many regional/rural hospitals are in need of such posts; bonus if you have many experience in a specific specialty (eg ER) with higher demand. It also suggests that I can complete my amc2/wba once I'm in aus as a RMO.
However, I've also heard many contradicting (and alarming) news that the Aus market is getting saturated following the UK's new laws. People saying you don't stand a chance if you haven't completed amc 2. 'An IMG, amc 1 applicant, and didn't graduate with a UK/Irish degree? Forget trying to get into the system at all.'
While the time I try to apply for the Aus market is in 8+ years, I'm beginning to worry about my future career as my biggest working priority is to work abroad asap + specialise there, preferably Aus as it seems to be the most ideal market as of now. But will I be shooting myself in the foot for not graduating in the western market (albeit drown in student debt); possibly ending up 'locked' in Malaysia's scary working conditions + salary?
I know the healthcare system can look very different 8 years from now, but with the current patterns will Aus end up with the same fate as the UK?
As of now, my biggest dilemma is whether I'm overstressing and that there will be a way into the system without spending years trying, or suffering financially by graduating overseas will be worth the job security.
I'll really appreciate any real-life experiences anyone is willing to share, or if they've gone through the pathway and made it to the other side.
Thanks so much!
Hi there! This query is targeted to anyone in the medical field:))
I'm applying for an MBBS soon, but am torn between going for a fully local imu mbbs (with chance of 100% scholarship) or to go for imu's pmu pathway with loans such as ptptn.
My biggest working priority is to be able to specialise and practice overseas, due to malaysia's less ideal working conditions+salary haha.
Is it worth it to go for the pmu pathway as it opens more international doors earlier or to instead graduate debt free and take the necessary exams/certifications to work overseas later on? I understand that means I'll need to spend the next 10 years in malaysia, but the delayed gratification seems promising enough.
thanks so much for any info u may have:))
