If u had a choice at all unis for med in australia which wuld u choose,

someone is confident.

someone is confident.

It's just a hypothetical, I think.

 

[Lucid Scintilla]

It's just a hypothetical situation, I think.

It appear that that is the premise.

If u had a choice at all unis for med in australia which wuld u choose,

I probably would go for Commonwealth paid-for UNSW. If there's anything better than that, I'd take it, no questions asked.
Double-degree as well.

med at UniSA ...

depends do u realli want to just help ppl? or have a huge ego? cos i suspect with scores lik that.. ure not a brain surgeon..

 

[vodkacrumble]

i have a personal theory (based on the relatively small number of interns/registrars i've worked with) that UNSW produces the nicest doctors

 

[jemsta]

how come noone mentioned usyd?

 

[Epic_Postings]

how come noone mentioned usyd?

I believe that is because USyd only offer graduate medicine.

 

[kido_1]

University Of Melbourne(The)- seems pretty prestigious for undrgrd med
UNSW-still pretty good
U adelaide-really good
Monash-pretty good

I wuld choose one of dem prbbly melb

Arts/Med?

Me? Arts/Med? Well, I'm not too sure on what an Arts degree is, but it does sound interesting; sadly, interesting isn't enough to get me to do it - I'd consider it, though.

I'm interested in sciences and medicine, so maybe, just maybe, Med major with some science minor.

Dunno.

I believe that is because USyd only offer graduate medicine.

Your supposition is most accurate there, dyun! No undergrad USyd Med. This is why people go to UNSW.

Usyd does offer ~10 places for yr 12 leavers... to do their provisional entry to medicine via BSc(Med or Adv or Music)...7 yrs

kido_1: ROFL u cant make a judgement about an MBBS course based on results for PhD/Masters students and Researchers work.


-Umelb is 5 yrs [2 yrs sciences + 3 ys clinical practices](MBBS) + 1 yr medical research [aka adv med sci yr](BMedSci) = 6 yrs
-UWS = UMelb MBBS course - the BMedSci = 5 yrs
-Newcastle and Melb uses the same system (2 step PBL teaching)

-UAdelaide and Usyd share the same course style (3 step PBL)

Lucid Scintilla: if u realli want to do science... medicine there is very little science.. its mostly practical...and lots of memorisation and lots of self learning.. i recall we spent doing biochem in 1 lecture that ppl in BSc do in 1 semester.. there is very lil depth...

Thanx for the advice, I am just a rookie unlike most of the pros on this site.
I jus wanted to ask can u not do the science thesis in UMELB and make it a 5 yr course. Do u have a choice?

 

[ajx]

dunno, im also not pro enuf 2 answa that-lol

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

no choice at Umelb

however there is a 4.5 yr grad entry program at Umelb

 

[un 1]

wats the advantage of doin a year of science reasearch at melb uni ?

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

lab monkey for 1 yr lolz

hands on work in research methods..and u qualify for the BMedSc.

 

[un 1]

yeh, but how is dat meant to help u, wen it comes to the future, like jobs and that.
Like wat diff wuld it make if u didnt do a BMedSc for 1 yr.

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

honestly.. nothing.. its just tradition at UMelb to make their degree look bigger.. all other unis do the minimum research component required by the aust med council..

in fact.. MBBS (+BMed and BMBS) do so much research and readings ... for PhDs we auto qualify if u want to do it without honours (tho having honours preps u).. .. food for thought..

 

[un 1]

so its prctcly a waste of a yr.
so melb wuldnt be the best place 2 do med if u value a yr of ur life?
