undergraduate pathway for Med (1 Viewer)

[korry]

hey did you guys hear about this? apparently they're introducing it in 2005. You have to do either a BSc or BMedSci and maintain an 80 average (i think) and then you'll be allowed into the graduate Medicine program...without haveing to do the GAMSAT and interview

what do you think of it?

 

[KeypadSDM]

I think it's stupid. That means you can become a practicing doctor without any ability to speak to your patients.

Nice one USyd.

 

[korry]

oh oops forgot to add that they do interviews to shortlist people. coz there are limited places for it

 

[santaslayer]

I agree for the first time with KeyPad
Medicine, like a number of other degrees/professions should be "exclusive" due to the nature of the job.

Its like letting an unqualified lunatic run a country!

 

[santaslayer]

Then why'd you say there was no interview?

So does this only apply to people who start undergrad MSci/BSc in 2005, or it applies to us people who have already started this year already?

 

[saves.the.day]

I'm really skeptical.. where did you read/hear this?

 

[Collin]

Yeah, consider yourself dead korry if this is a joke.
