Please for the love of god tell me people won't be able to transfer into this course under the "garanteed internal transfer scheme".

I don't want some dodgy doctor with a credit average operating on me.
though they get in, but can they graduate in it is the question... so u can be confident they wont be dodgy...

i think that they first have to prove they are competent at the sciences, exp. biology and chem.
what if you get like a HD in the arts which has no relation to the sciences at all? something like UMAT is a better emasure as it measures your capacity for science. if you get d's hd's is the sciences, it may prove that person better at the medical studies about to be taken than someone who does arts/business/law etc which has no relation to the sciences.

usyd med is undergraduate... but graduate entry.. .

technically UWS will hav graduates better than other unis .. question is can they maintain their graduates.. but the course needs to be accredited by the AMC first..

MBBS is realli a relic of times.. merging of medicine and surgery in the 1800's prior to tat.. surgery= barber's jobs.. its realli lik a combined.. u can have bach of surgy on its own..

MBBS/Law is 7 yrs at monash..

the passing mark for med students is usually high... most schools hav a 60% scaled pass mark..
cos we are meant to cover the BMedSci + Clinical components in the time it takes a Bmedsci kid and apply it compentently.. otherwise they fail u..and u repeat the yr.. all unis are lik tat..

Personally .. i am allowed to do accelerated topics (3rd yr Sci topics in 2nd yr without prerequisites) and
some Science faculty staff have stated a preference for med kids in research scholarships.. its just most med kids are the type with potential that they dun use cos they dun expect it in clinical practice to be useful..

Woops, my bad....but still, if you do well in science, the candidate is more prepared than one who is not.
also med students have to be really motivated, i mean you dont just fall into it by chance at all...

Medicine is a double degree (Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery), to combine it with law would make it a triple degree taking at least 8 years to complete full time. And then you would need to do prac for them both.
