Medicine at Macquarie? (1 Viewer)

[jb_nc]

For those that aren't interested/can't get into grad law (I think only usyd and uws offer it in Sydney, though there could be more), LPAB is an option www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lpab It is, however, expensive and rather difficult from all accounts.

Actually have you done the sums on the total cost of the LPAB? I swear it's cheaper than a three-year post-graduate LLB... But I can't really recall any more.

Apparently it's quite common for surgeons in this area to go overseas? Apparently there's a need for it. This is according to an MQ PR article, so it may be biased.

I suspect that may be because doctors are often paid better overseas --> so money driven individuals with talent end up being headhunted (this is just my geuss). In this sense it makes sense to have concentrated areas of medical talent to attract and train advanced specialists. However, I don't see why it has to be something apart from the system that is already in place. It just seems like it is more for the cash/research benefits for MQ than for useful innovation. In any case, smart marketing on their part.

It's definitely cheaper than full-fee law, excluding things like FEE-HELP, etc, because you can't get gov't tuition support for the DipLaw.

I just checked the LPAB site, I can't make heads or tails of the fees. :-/

Hmm, I see. I have no idea. :-\

But definitely good marketing. Unfortunately, the hospital and the new departments won't interact much with the uni as a whole. I suppose the relationship will be much like the MQ-Macquarie Dictionary scenario; namely a sub-group existing on-campus with its name.

I've heard the VC jabber on about how it'll help the neuropsych UG depts, but I doubt it'll be worth its weight for UG students. Like you said, it's far more of a cash cow (hopefully). Again, hopefully, some of the money will filter back into the main uni.

Personally, I don't intend to enter private practice (and that's the same for at least half mq law grads).

Point me to this half. I want proof they exist.

Enrolment fees are currently $476 per subject. (Tuition fee $376 / Exam fee $100).

I think there's 25 subjects according to the pass/fail statistics (I don't think you have to do them all though), so $476 * 25 = $11 900 + maybe a thousand or two for everything else (that you would probably have to pay for in the LLB too)

Compared to three yrs grad law csp @ $8,328. lol, perhaps it's cheaper? also considering you'd probably be working and have enough to pay upfront. of course there's other arguments for the quality of the dip vs llb but ignore that.

Thanks for that - I obviously was looking in the wrong place on the LPAB site. I thought grad law at USyd came up at 25k for three years, though...

Edit: Wait - grad law at USyd is (CSP) $8000 a year.

Yeah, well I imagine UNSW would only be marginally cheaper, as well.

Thanks, but ummm...i havent already got an undergrad unfortunately....
DAMN.

Their advanced medicine degree is a graduate medical degree, you must have already completed an MBBS(medicine) or equiavalent by the time you start their advanced degree. The advanced degree is for new and complicated advancements in medicne such as robotic surgery, etc.

Quality bump right there.

I thought this topic sounded familiar. I really need to start looking at the dates of these threads.
