monaSHITes?..


........anyways......I'v heard lots of good stuff about monash. Which area is it best at?

 

[bluesky100]

You mean area of discipline (?) - e.g Medicine, Arts, Eduction that kind of stuff.
If so, I'm not really sure. Maybe Medicine, Nursing & Health Sciences (and I'm not being biased) .

The uni does have a lot of health related courses across the various campuses, possible more than any other Vic uni (I think) - med, ambulance/paramedic studies, midwifery, nursing, nursing/rural health practice, biomedical science, nutrition and dietetics, psychology, behavioural neuroscience …

I have my little heart set on going to Monash (clayton) next year. That is all.

hey all! I'm applying to Monash Medicine for entry next year too...*sigh* it's either UNSW Med, UniMelb Med or Monash Med..or no medicine...
My goal is to manage to get an interview for Monash Med so it keeps my options open...

medicine @ monash

hi guys,

as there are a couple of monash medics here,
would like to ask a couple of questions about medicine at monash.

1) how is the PBL in Monash, do you guys feel that PBL has established a strong scientific foundation that is required in the profession?

2) with monash malaysia up, does the MBBS from monash become kinda common, with so many people having the degree.

3) lastly, do u guys remember much about your interviews? any advice? i am having it in a couple of weeks.

thanks.

Hi Kenxz,

You're having your interview in a few weeks? Are you an international student?

Hmm, I can't remember all that much about the Monash interviews, but there was a section based on simplifying a scientific term to simulate communication with not-so-medically-orientated patients. The word I received was "condensation" if I remember correctly.

Then there was a section in which we had to discuss a medical/societal issue. I had to talk about mental illness.

There was also a part where they read out a story, asked us to summarise the major points of that story, identify the issues present and to discuss a few of those with them. The story I received was some Bend it like Beckam-esque soccer story.

The interviewers also ask generic questions about who you are and why you desire a seat in Medicine, that sort of thing. It's not a particularly long, gruelling interview, and the interviewers can be nice and jocular. There are 3 of them - one a doctor from the wider community, one a Monash graduate(?), and one a member of the community.

How's the engineering course at Monash? That's at the top of the list atm.

 

[Cziffra]

Hi Nit,

Did you get asked any questions on ethics? or current issues (medical or just general?)

Thanks.

Was this an UNDERGRADUATE interview?

 

[nit]

Indeed it was an undergraduate interview
