    Why the hate on pharmacy?

    ROFL! Marrying an engineer as a pharmacist is much like 1/10000. Unless if you're working at some rural pharmacy/airport pharmacy where most of the engineers work at. It's hard alone for us meds to marry someone non-med haha

    What certificate is better

    The man's got a point. No medical school can be regarded to be better or worser than any other. It's guarded by the AMA regulations. I think the best way to view this is to simply choose a medical school based on your scores. We'll all graduate with an mbbs anyway, no patient is going to...

    Medicine at Monash Or Melbourne Uni?

    pumping doctors out in less time and less money sounds fabulous, but undermines the unseen factors of what might make a good doctor in the future. I would think there's a reason why the undergrad course has traditionally been 6 years, and should not be as short as post-grad. Refer to the April...

    Medicine at Monash Or Melbourne Uni?

    One could argue its exactly the same. B Med Sci (Undergrad Degree), followed immediately by mbbs = 7 years MBBS, then do 1 year B Med Sci (Research for med) = 7 Years Even if you don't do the B Med Sci (Med) / Honours for med, its 6 years, whereas post-grad gives you an extra degree in...

    Ba.Psych + MB/BS?

    Havox is right. In medicine, we are taught simple psychology (namely things like depression, mood disorders (due to substance abuse) and biologically based diseases like Schizophrenia (high dopamine,etc ). Amusingly, there is little time spent in this area, and we are given minimal tools to...

    Any good any extra-curiccular activities that will help me get into medicine?

    Nah unlike other degrees, sucking dick won't get u in haha. If you've done a single day of elective surgery rounds, you'll notice its nothing like RPA. What a simple procedure looks like on tv takes so many hours in real life. Best thing is to shadow a GP they give you a good idea of what...

    Training Required for a GP to become an Ambulance Officer/Paramedic

    Training Required for a GP to become an Ambulance Officer/Paramedic

    It may be best for you to shadow a GP for a day, then do a night shift with the paramedics. You'll see how differently these two roles work. As they're completely different but challenging jobs. GP requires MBBS (6 years undergrad) + 5-6 years for FRACP to become a GP. Most people however do...

    Medical Officer in the Forces

    Nah it may have changed since. Couple of my friends already on the Defence Force scholarship during their 1st year of medicine. Either way, you must apply as you normally would to any undergraduate or postgradutae medical school (very competitive for both types of entry), then apply to be a...

    Why the hate on pharmacy?

    Masters is 2 years requires no external test like gamsat/stat just a decent credit GPA and CV, interview. Bachelors is 3/4 years requires stat + high UAI. To play the devils advocate, I'd Hate to raise the point of the Doc being Pawn/king/queen/bishop talk. But to clarify, Pharmacists are...

    general UNSW chit-chat

    Not only are law ppl total assholes, but some first year students as well. So I'd be real careful esp in mentoring abhi! Once had a person who firstly didn't introduce themselves, except by surname. Then the next thing they'd ask is your notes and advice on how to get into optom/pharm/med...

    The well: The Students of Medical Science Society any questions you got

    As Survivor said, if your aspirations are to do medicine. Then focus on a degree that you will do well in (a GPA of at least 5.0 or 5.5 will put u in good stead). Don't complete a degree for the sake that it might help you in med - worry about that when you are in med. And of course, consider...

    Med Sci without hsc chem

    True true back when I was 2nd year, I had no clue what I wanted to do! But it will pay off if you think in advance a few years. It's scary to learn that so many med sci graduates really don't have good paying jobs until they complete hons and PhD.

    Med Sci without hsc chem

    Tim is absolutely right from all angles - lol sounds lame, but its true. Even if you do get into the lateral medicine program in UNSW, there is no telling whether you'll fail your "Summer Refresh Med course" - that's the course you do around Jan - Feb after you're accepted in your 3rd Year Med...

    Future Plans: What ATAR/course/job are you aiming for?

    Depends on what type of Science degree you want. Back at UNSW, we do: B Sci (UAI around 75 will do) B Adv Sci (87-93) You can choose to major in Environ Sci in either of these Degrees. Of course there are the Science degrees that already major in that area. Man Enviro sci is hitting the...

    Med Transfer!?!?

    To clear this thread up. There are multiple ways - - UMAT (For Undergraduate Entry only) - GAMSAT (After you've successfully graduated with WHATEVER degree - then applied to post graduate medical school): There's always a misconception that you must do a Bsc or B Med Sci, in fact you can do...

    HSC over now what?

    This may be hard to say for all you new HSC'ers or...now they call - ATAR lol, but honestly do whatever you want in this period (as long as you've sorted out UAC), because this is going to be your final longest Summer holiday before university starts - for those who've elected for uni anyway...

    So how do you muck up in the interview?

    I know eh...crazy. It's still a relatively new field. But man, I bet it'll require all these frcps to become one sooner or later, if it really does provide that salary. It's strange I've rarely heard of this medical profession, is it more research? Or clinically-orientated? Sounds almost like...

    So how do you muck up in the interview?

    Hhaha lol that's a classic tim! Obviously your buddy was abit ill-informed. It takes years to get the 170k + dream salary. You definitely need the passion and empathy, and if you're not 100% interested, a single mistake in theatre can cost millions. Yeah totally agree with that, it's just with...

    Medicinal chemistry

    God damn Neb you sound like my organic chem lecturer (well the one I had like ..... 3 or 4 years ago back in 1st year science hahaha). Lol definitely right about the crappy quality of this uni! We're getting these shitty people being promoted up to the rank of a/prof or prof, and yet on the...
