How would graduate med save a year? Do you mean that the overall process wouldn't take as long with a graduate program or do you mean that the graduate degree itself is shorter?
Geez this thread is over 4 years old.
He meant someone who has done their undergraduage degree or is in their final year who doen't want to do GAMSAT or as a back up did UMAT and tried to get into an undergrad medspot from and undergrad degree would be atleast one year more then a sole post-grad(3 year undergrad, 4 year graduate med course) . Thus it would be 8 years of uni studey (min 3 years undergrad and min 5 years undergrad med). Instead of (min 3 years undergrad and a 4 year graduate med course).
No, the overall process depending on your circumstances is longer because you are doing an undergrad degree with a min of 3 years with a underdrad med degree with a min or 5 years. Instead of doing 3 years undergrad, Gamsat and 4 yaers of grad med.
