What jobs can I get with a MedSc degree?
When you finish your degree you should aim to become a member of AIMS (Australian Institute of Medical Scientists) http://www.aims.org.au
Some degrees come with automatic membership.

With or without your membership, MedScientists can work in;
- research
- pathology labs
- cardiac technicians (performing ecgs, stress tests, etc)
- health promotion
- hospital scientists
- Teaching Medical and Science students (Tutorial-based)

Can I use Med Sc as a precurser into Medicine?

This question gets asked to death on this forum. It is possible, but I stress that unless you maintain a certain GPA (I'm thinking it's atleast a credit average, if not a DI) the chances of transferring into Medicine are slim.
Alternatively you can;
Try entry through UMAT
Try and get into Graduate Medicine after you finish your degree


What do I learn in Med Science?

This is specific to CSU, if anybody else doing MedSc at the other unis want to contribute...

Without going into subject codes, etc, I will do/have done subjects in the following
Anatomy and Physiology
Statistics
Microbiology
Law
Biochemistry
Histotechniques
Bacteriology
Virology
Human cytogenetics
Chemistry
Cancer cytopathology

Specific to Forensic Biotechnology;
DNA and Forensic Technology
Crime scene



Any more questoins...

Re: The official Medical Science thread

Well, my course structure is like this;
Anatomy and Physiology
Law
Haematology
Immunology
Various biochem subjects
Cancer Cytopathology
Bacteriology

Mine is a bit different because I'm doing the Forensic Biotech double degree, so mine also has crime scene, genetic engineering, DNA, etc...

If you're looking to work in pathology labs as a scientist and not just in research,k ideally you want to be accredited with AIMS.

Re: The official Medical Science thread

Um.

Why waste your time doing something like an Arts degree to get into Med, when you can do a MedSc degree, do just as well in it and go into a Grad Med degree with some assumed knowledge?

Sounds smarter to me.
