um as far as i've heard its hard to get a job after doing medical science.. only jobs i've heard are out there are things like genetic counsellors... and if ppl do medical science looking at transferring to med - you are more likely to get into med after doing nursing than med. sci (that comes from someone who does selections)Komaticom said:Depends on the degree you're doing.
Obviously if you're doing something in which graduates are in high demands, like, I dunno, Medical Science or Commerce or Pharmacy, getting a job should be fine as long as you don't barely pass.
.
They generally require, at minimum, a completed Masters or PhD in a relevant field.Komaticom said:What about research jobs?
What degree? With something specialist like Medicince, then yes. With something generalist like Arts, probably much harder.dethroned said:so, if i go to uni does that mean i'll get a job very easily?
well that's just what i've been told by someone who selects people to enter med... she suggested to my sister to do nursing rather than med science - cos she has more options when she finishes (in terms of transferring into another degree like med/physio etc)... but hey maybe there are different opinionscrystal_meth_au said:" o yes and as for the the more likely to get into med after nursing...really doubt that as after doing medical science you know a fair bit more about the physiology and biochemistry of the body than most nurses (generalisation i know but seriously what is it you think we spend 3 years doing>) nurses have an advantage in that they have clinical experience in caring for the sick, but the GAMSAT is probably more in favour of the med Sci people.
well the thing is ... nurses clinical skills are impressive vs med sc who are just science grads.....ballerinabarbie said:well that's just what i've been told by someone who selects people to enter med... she suggested to my sister to do nursing rather than med science - cos she has more options when she finishes (in terms of transferring into another degree like med/physio etc)... but hey maybe there are different opinions
Nope.. lolz alot of the advanced training programs lik surgery... now "recommend" research publication... so lots of medics do the research.. and also do research rotations ... where u do the supervised training..crystal_meth_au said:well a doctor (with just a straight MBBS) isnt going to go toe to toe with a PhD with a biomedical background, the only doctors that really do 'lab' research are the ones who pick up a BSci or a BmedSci anyhow.
and yes ill be the first to addmitte nurse clinical skills are awsome. but a MedSci will whip their asses when it comes to the science behind medicine (we'll you expect that seeing as nurses dont do chem/physiology at nearly as deep a level)
and yeah what about pharmacy, thats probably a better bet then either medSci or nursing? you have an extreemly detailed knowledge of the human body and its interactions to drugs, plus your trained in patient councling, plus your basicly almost as qualified as a doctoar anyhow (haha all the med students are going to stab me for saying that)
