Gotta wait I guess. So u're 4 sure accepting the 'tajaan scholarship'. I heard my teacher said that those who accepted de scholarship are bound 2 serve 4 de government 4 10 years. Am I rite?

hi~i wish to ask that beside accept the offer online,do we need to send the lampiran A to usm or send anything to them now?

"Sekiranya calon MENERIMA tawaran, calon dihendaki mencetak Lampiran A dari website dan kembalikan semasa Pendaftran Diri di Desasiswa atau datang ke Unit Pengambilan & Kemasukan Pelajar, Aras 2, Canselori."

This was the info I obtained from buku panduan siswa sidang akademik 2010/2011 Kampus Kesihatan.

Looks like there aren't any seniors here. Maybe someone could go to the USM thread to bring a few over? haha.

Haha... Look like we gotta spoonfeed ourselves. Well, we still can exchange any info we know/get from other sources.

USM is the only uni that accept students without bio so if u rejected usm which means u wont gt medic in upu di rite? So think twice before you decide..hehe...neway i am usmkk student...feel free to ask ya..

[yennee]

not usm only.upm too.only these 2 accept physical student

[milniq]

opps...sorry 4 d wrong fact...icic...thanks for correcting me huh...^^

[yennee]

no prob =)

[SpongeBobOct]

USM is the only uni that accept students without bio so if u rejected usm which means u wont gt medic in upu di rite? So think twice before you decide..hehe...neway i am usmkk student...feel free to ask ya..

I guess UPM will still accept student without Physics 2 study medicine.

[yennee]

true but they will also accept physical students.some of my seniors from physical they got upm medic

[anqi]

are you sure, milniq??? LOL.

[yennee]

[SpongeBobOct]

Does anyone here did compare or study de syllabus of Matric Biology books wif the Form 4&5 biology books?

[anqi]

hey,do u guys have lampiran E3,E4, AND E5??
and how to apply jpa for our course?

and do we need to send those lampiran back to usm before our registration day?thanks

Ya, you have to submit one or two lampiran before registration day, there should be a deadline given. The rest just keep them until your orientation week. You will have to send in during that week.

You decided to take JPA scholarship? No worries for this, the JPA fellows will go to USM and brief you guys. Follow their instructions and that will do. At least this is what we did last year.

[natalie91]

I'm wondering whether will the orientation week a stressful 1? Like d one in matric? n do we need to go for any camp for physical training? cos in lampiran D they stated that

Pelajar dari PPSP dan PPSG akan
bertolak ke Kem bagi Program
PIMPIN Siswa pada 8 Julai 2010 jam
12.30 tengahari

[milniq]

hey..ms. sub...so weird 2 see you emerge today...hehe...yaya...as for the JPA all medic and dental students will get the offer its just up to you whether you gonna accept it or not...

Regarding the orientation week, you may refer one of the posts in another thread, USM applicaton 2010/11, there is a brief description about it if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, you are compulsory to attend the camp. It would be really fun, haha. Btw, what course do you get? Medicine?

[milniq]

yea matric one was so hectic and tiring.but i think this one will be less stressful then in matric.
hahax...dont worry...it will be tiring but fun 1...there will be some boring talk but just a while only....
So what's your problem now?? Haha..
hahax...i got no prob with that just dint see you on recom for years...

[natalie91]

ya...same as the overseas programme...the service duration is 10 yrs...so think twice...

however fees for local universities are not that costly as compared to overseas programme ,i'm wondering why the service duration is also 10 yrs, hehe..ohya,n abt that , may i know what is the approximate total fees that we need to pay for the total 5 yrs ?

[SpongeBobOct]

ya...same as the overseas programme...the service duration is 10 yrs...so think twice...

So, not worth it rite? The amount awarded is not de same le.

[milniq]

yup...its true...thats why i said think twice...hehe...erm...if you mean tuition fee...900 per sem which means 1800 per yr...hehe...do your maths...lazy to count...+ some daily expenses which is bout 500++(not sure bout others but this is how much i spend in a month lar)...decide yourself lar..

[SpongeBobOct]

Less than Rm 45000 4 sure..

[anqi]

So, not worth it rite? The amount awarded is not de same le.

And fyi, the amount that USMKK folks get is less than other students in UM, UKM or UPM etc etc. It's very unfair but still, I apply for JPA. After all, it depends on individual's preference.

[natalie91]

yea matric one was so hectic and tiring.but i think this one will be less stressful then in matric.

haha, i really hope so:)

yup...its less somemore...its very depend on yourself...since medical dr's compulsory service is 4 yrs...so its actually just 4yrs+6yrs lo...

[anqi]

yup...its less somemore...its very depend on yourself...since medical dr's compulsory service is 4 yrs...so its actually just 4yrs+6yrs lo...

I thought it's been shortened to 2 years?

[milniq]

I thought it's been shortened to 2 years?
yaya...2 yrs of HO and 2 yrs of compulsory service...correct me if i am wrong...

[Dora1212]

yaya...2 yrs of HO and 2 yrs of compulsory service...correct me if i am wrong...

So, cn we further studies during d 2 years of compulsory service??

[milniq]

So, cn we further studies during d 2 years of compulsory service??
erm...sorry not very sure with that...hope that those medic seniors able to give you the ans...

[beederbest]

So, cn we further studies during d 2 years of compulsory service??
wad i heard from 1 of the doctor doing specialisation now u can further studies during the compulsery service~ if u take specialisation course from other countries some allow u to do it during ur housemanship~

however fees for local universities are not that costly as compared to overseas programme ,i'm wondering why the service duration is also 10 yrs, hehe..ohya,n abt that , may i know what is the approximate total fees that we need to pay for the total 5 yrs ?

there's always other choices of scholarships for u to apply eg hong leong, tanjong, kuok's etc these are scholarships without any bond.

Does anyone here did compare or study de syllabus of Matric Biology books wif the Form 4&5 biology books?

dun have to worry much bout comparing matric biology n form 4 n 5 bio~
only a small part that the pre-u bio students study is necessary for u to know in order to cope with first year studies~ there might be some intro for some chapters which seem more like revision for bio pre u students but for physics students would require some extra effort~ but dun worry that accounts for only a really little part of all the things u need to learn in 1 whole year~ and there are physics based students who did quite well in medicine here~ good luck~

[lfwinks]

will USM post the surat tawaran and the rest of the lampirans to us??

[beederbest]

will USM post the surat tawaran and the rest of the lampirans to us??

yes~ and u will be keep waiting for it until suddenly 1 day the thick envelope written USM on the top appear in ur mail box~

[lawrenceleong88]

so now we have 3 seniors.haha.looking forward to meet u guys

Who r the 3 seniors u mean?

R de scholars bound to serve government after graduating?



Erm, yup. If I'm not mistaken, some will b going 2 terengganu, others will stay in kelantan (not in USM Campus 4 sure). Haha.

BONDED for 10 years...I don't recommend JPA sponsorship...it is not worth it...by comparison with the sum it provides...
U waste precious years n miss the opportunity when u r invited to work in private hospitals...
N yup...some Kelantan some Terengganu...that's last year format...dunno about this year...

You seem to know quite a lot. Good good. =)
I think cos I replied in one of the thread involving SpongeBobOct n SoooNegative...

however fees for local universities are not that costly as compared to overseas programme ,i'm wondering why the service duration is also 10 yrs, hehe..ohya,n abt that , may i know what is the approximate total fees that we need to pay for the total 5 yrs ?
It's Rm1800 for our tuition fee(Medicine course fee) per year...with the one time fee during admission...n hostel fee for every year...
Should be like this...Refer to the Table of Fees for more info..

haha, i really hope so:)

I hate the Matric timetable very much...it wastes lots of time waiting in between breaks...n pointless activities like biomate n chemfriends...In my opinion...haha...
It makes the after school hours so short...

yaya...2 yrs of HO and 2 yrs of compulsory service...correct me if i am wrong...

Yea...4 years...u r right

wad i heard from 1 of the doctor doing specialisation now u can further studies during the compulsery service~ if u take specialisation course from other countries some allow u to do it during ur housemanship~

During the remaining years after the initial 4 years...u can do further studies of specialization...
But these scholarships require ur Exam result...the time for us to provide them the exam result always crashes with their closing date right?
Yea...u dun have to study or revise ur old bio stuffs...just focus on wat u will be taught here...U don't even have to bother much of extra study materials actually...

yes~ and u will be keep waiting for it until suddenly 1 day the thick envelope written USM on the top appear in ur mail box~
It varies among regions...some get it early some very late..in my case n my friends...very very late...
I printed it myself early in several copies cos it came extremely late last year...remain in touch with other future coursemates so tat u will know when is too late...

So, cn we further studies during d 2 years of compulsory service??

No...it's COMPULSORY service...
The rules get stricter every year...from this year onwards...Overseas Jpa scholars will not be allowed to use "Marriage" as a reason to avoid servicing...I m not sure if it applies to local JPA sponsorship...

[lowxuan]

What's the different between the JPA Sponsorship and JPA Tajaan Tambahan 2008 untuk spm 2007?

regarding further studies during compulsory service, from what i understand, if u do not wish to work in msia in future then as long as there is a university from other countries that accept u then u can further ur studies~ if want to further studies studies during compulsory service u have to do it part time but not full time~ which means u need to study n work at the same time~ correct me if im wrong~

[lawrenceleong88]

What's the different between the JPA Sponsorship and JPA Tajaan Tambahan 2008 untuk spm 2007?
Tat Tajaan Tambahan is due to some sort of promise made by the government...
Due to the promise...after running it for tat particular year...it is aborted...
Jpa sponsorship is giving u an amount of allowances for a year...
This depends on the state where u r doing ur study...for Kelantan as stated by anqi n milniq...the amount of allowance is lower...although the cost of living in Kelantan isn't really low at all..the food is not even cheap compared to Penang...

regarding further studies during compulsory service, from what i understand, if u do not wish to work in msia in future then as long as there is a university from other countries that accept u then u can further ur studies~ if want to further studies studies during compulsory service u have to do it part time but not full time~ which means u need to study n work at the same time~ correct me if im wrong~
Thanks a lot for ur info!
Yet..the final decision is made by JPA...we will never know when the policy changes again...when they announce the change on newspapers...it's already too late to change ur decision...

U will open an account with ppl guiding u through the process...
The hostel...about 4 in Nurani n 3 in Murni...Water cooler is available...
U r not allowed to bring iron/water heater...but if u do...hide them...in the cupboard n lock it...
The duration of the camp is about 3 days 2 nights...Should be on the end of orientation week...
Study schedule varies with every block...Usually starts at 8.30 a.m....ending time always changes...
Small medic dictionary...Stedman's Medical Dictionary(Just install it)...We can provide u...especially those who study using soft copy...

if u want to apply ptptn or jpa, then only u need to open, open at ur hometown or when u go to usm is up to u

for 1st year, 4ppl 1 room. there is a water cooler

desasiswa not allow us to bring, but after orientation week u can bring ilegallly,haha

kem is 3 days 2 nights

study schedule change every week, normally until 4 or 5pm but some can go back early

depends on u, but is good to have 1

[lawrenceleong88]

The good thing about USM orientation is it only lasts for a week...then u begin learning about bioethics n social health...then proceed to nursing in which u r allocated in various department in the USM hospital..wearing white coats...n learn about nurses...

In USM I think it may be the best choice to study medicine since it doesn't have a long period orientation which includes ragging, which is the activity where seniors force their juniors to do stuffs. E.g. Some wake their juniors at the middle of the night n forced them to write 6 essays, some make them call all seniors through phone n talk till they r asked to stop, some forced the juniors to run to the top floor to retrieve something then run down to the ground floor only to be flushed wet by buckets of water by the seniors. These r unethical at all for medical students n these ruin our should-be helpful n not a sadistic(enjoy when u see other ppl suffer) mind. USM bans ragging at all costs n any offender will be charged seriously.

We have the first block which is the bioethics n social health to instill proper conduct of a doctor including family n society wellness. This block is operating while other unis are still having their ragging activity. We have the nursing block at the third week where we r allowed to go with white coats n visit to every department in USM hospital to be exposed how the nurses do their everyday task n learn about it so we r capable of doing some of their jobs ourselves even as doctor. Such as how nurses fold bed linen which requires specific technique n how to shift the patient from one end to another end of the bed(head to foot position I mean) n oso how to interact wif patients even more at the psychiatry ward.

c. it is stated cannot use other electrical appliances except laptop n hp. iron is provided for free in pantry~ small radio should be ok~ fan i would suggest u to buy after u finish orientation. since if found out that u bring need to charge rm50. i suppose officers are more hardworking during orientation week~haha

d. the kem lasts for 3 days. sleep in tent.

Ya..double decker...I prefer the one on the lower deck...I may sleepwalk so if I am sleeping on top deck...I will sleepdrop instead...

>_<....i scare hot...T_T ...sigh*....senior...wat's the clothing code in usm?
Clothing code...absolutely none...I mean...not so strict
No dress code in hostel...for classes...u may wear formal/office wear or plain collared t-shirt + slacks...
But I heard one of my friend who applied to be a guide during orientation said...this year it will be much stricter...maybe gonna wear formal clothes most of the time...don't know how true is this...
Formal clothes=hot...

[lcw]

Ya..double decker...I prefer the one on the lower deck...I may sleepwalk so if I am sleeping on top deck...I will sleepdrop instead...

Oo...but d top deck should b cooler ryte cz nearer 2 d fan? wait...d fan is ceiling fan o wall fan? ha? reli ah? i read in d buku panduan tat they say can wear semi formal meaning colar t wit jeans? oh no meaning lik last time in matriks la if ned 2 wear formal! damn hot wei!

[beederbest]

>_<....i scare hot...T_T ...sigh*....senior...wat's the clothing code in usm?

dress code is formal for medic students.
for the first month 100 percent wear formal. 3 months later 80 percent some swtch to collar T and cotton pants. 6 months later only 20 to 30 percent still wear formal.

erm can i ask wat about shoes? n i wana ask is short sleeve formal shirt allowed?
last time in matric they forbid it so must b long sleeve o at least 3/4 sleeve!

[lawrenceleong88]

Oo...but d top deck should b cooler ryte cz nearer 2 d fan? wait...d fan is ceiling fan o wall fan?

It depends whether u open the window or not...N there r a couple of windows...decide on which to open...
The fan is ceiling fan...it directs downwards...sometimes in certain room...The wind from the fan will reach straight down n doesn't supply the top deck...T.T...the lower deck occupant will shiver in a cold weather if left windows opened...
I've slept at the top deck for only 2 rooms so far...both give me a different feel...one is cold another is hot...conclusion is ...it depends...

erm can i ask wat about shoes?
Male...black shoes(leather-like)...when wearing formal...
Or sports/casual shoes ...when wearing collared T-shirts...
Females...I don't notice much about it...XD
I don't think it's high heel...maybe any shoe will be ok...

[beederbest]

erm can i ask wat about shoes?

should be formal fully covered shoes. but 1st month 100percent fully covered shoes for girls. guys 100 percent black shoes. then 3 months later 80 percent still keep with it some switch to sports shoes n casual fully covered shoes. 6 months later, around 50 percent remain wearing formal shoes... the rest sport shoes, casual shoes and even sandals.
p/s anyway sandals really not advisable.

This is from USM Desasiswa Tekun...Of cos u may find some of these regulations unlike ours...but generally all USM Desasiswas do not ban on table fan...
They emphasize on heat producing device cos it may exceed the limit n may trip off the entire power supply...During matric...we r allowed to bring them as long as it is SIRIM certified...dunno y is it so strict in Uni...

It's regarding the info No. 27, I got another statement which is totally in contradiction with ur info. I'm confuse now.

"c). Sepanjang tempoh penginapan di Desasiswa, anda dikehendaki membawa sendiri bantal, sarung bantal dan cadar kerana pihak USM tidak menyediakan kemudahan ini."

Overall, do we need 2 bring stuff?

Okay...how can u be sure of my look?
R u an avid gamer?

Do u possess a FB account? If u do, den I think I got u.

Yes. U're right. Parents' monthly income less than Rm 1500. Most of de time, non of de scholar recipients will not show the exact amount of their parents income. so, anyone-Perakians may simply apply 4 it through the following website:

u're using airasia or mas? usually the officers allow you to exceed 5kg than the limit unless the officers are in bad mood that day. normal airasia luggage weight is 15kg mas 20kg. i think for airasia if check in cargo for extra luggage on the spot each luggage cost you rm30. mas not sure. if they count by Kg then it would be disastrous to your pocket. for hand carry now they implement 1 passenger 1 hand carry n cannot exceed 7 or 9kg~have to check back~ this should be for airasia but so far they do not weigh your hand carry item. but some passengers are asked to check in their extra hand carry luggage into cargo.

There will be bookstores representatives coming to USM every few weeks...Wait patiently till u get one with a good n affordable price...cos they come with different prices for the same book...
The author is Frank H. Netter. published by Saunders/Elsevier...visit elsevierhealth.com...
The version is not for sale in Australia, Canada, Europe, Japan or USA...
When attending lecture u try wearing formal clothes in the beginning of the year...observe the changes in other students then u can keep up with the fashion...ppl wearing t-shirts will pop out soon...
During clinical years which is during year 2 till 5...u get a lot of sessions to visit HUSM thus u have to wear formal clothes + white coat to visit the hospital...
It is recommended to wear collared t-shirt...cos if without collar...u r not allowed to enter the library..or at least warned by the guard of the library when u exit it...

For 1 or 2 weeks before registering...consider it a bit late...
But then as seen on news yesterday...there r about 1000+ ppl haven't clicked the Accept/Refuse button...this may be causing it as well...

馬來西亞理科大學完成招收2010／2011學士學位新生，理大共提供3694個學額，其中2690名被錄取者確定接納有關名額。

這也意味，有關的學額仍未填滿，未被錄取的申請者，即日起可通過書信方式直接向理大作出上訴，以填補有關空缺，上訴截止日期為6月21日。
USM provides 3694 places...2690 places r confirmed accepted by the students...

do we have to change room after every semester(4 to 5 months)? and during the period of long holidays ,where should we put our stuffs like pails,books,small drawer,table fan,etc if we cant bring all these stuffs back to our homes since some of us r sitting bus or plane. Is there a store room to store all these stuffs?

Is there a store room to store all these stuffs?
Semester system doesn't really apply for Medicine students...we don't use the term to describe our period...
We change room every year...not the 4 to 5 months...
U don't have a long holiday in the middle of ur course...not really long...n the period for holidays differs for every Medicine student year...
For me..Year 1 year end holiday is from May 7th till July 11th...about 2 months...I brought 50% of my possessions home n the rest left in the pantry(acts as store room now).
That's why I say use soft copy instead of hard copy will save u trouble at year end...
For me..I left my pails, table fan from ur list of items at the store room...which are things tat will be reused the next year...Small drawer? Table comes with a small drawer...they are left in my room
I bring home most of the clothes to change some new ones...n all food remains too...

they will open up pantry room n storeroom for u to keep your things~ not somuch to worry~

[natalie91]

For me..I left my pails, table fan from ur list of items at the store room...which are things tat will be reused the next year...Small drawer? Table comes with a small drawer...they are left in my room
I bring home most of the clothes to change some new ones...n all food remains too...

hehe, sorry ,not small drawer, is a small shelf so that i got more space to put my books, foods and stuffs. I used to bring one during my matric.

Haha. Actually i'm coming by car for the 1st time so i've got no prob in bringing the shelf. What worries me is during that period of holidays but since there is a pantry available, i've got no worries now. Thanks senior lawrence for answering my ques patiently,haha.

[CINDY91]

Wat r u relying on the first few weeks? Food? I don't get wat u mean...
U can rely on seniors who r there...

Ooopss...sori.. i mean de study materials. Since we don hv any reference books yet right?

Once the class starts...then u will have study materials...don't be too tensed for the first few weeks...Dun worry that "OMG...what r these? They look so important! Do I have to memorise all these? How will these be asked in exam? What format will it be?"

Just relax...okay...at about halfway throughout your first year...u will find the first few weeks less important than other topics u r gonna study later...Those r meant to mould ur personality n give u an idea about behavioural sciences...

Yea...SapphireDragon..but there's a much suitable thread out there...it's the "Would there be an excess of medical doctors in this country in the future? " thread...I will join the aforesaid discussion very soon...haha
Ur post here may cause unnecessary discussion in USM Medicine thread which is junior-centered...

And also MarknJun...how did ur fren know about this unique programme? Is she from Matriculation or Form 6?
I think she will be the first batch...so it's impossible to get info from seniors...
She should contact USM personally to clear her doubts...

[MarknJun]

She applied for the programme during march.
thru pohon.usm.my/india, after her STPM.
She got the phone call yest, calling her to go kl for interview session.

So i think that's y few ppl know.
But according to one newspaper article, they'll be sending 100 students 1st among the 500 applicants.
If the programme doing well, they wil send students for dentistry.

The article(she found in usm website n email me):

USM to franchise medical degree

MALAYSIA'S bid to be an exporter of quality tertiary education will see Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) establish an offshore presence in India by the middle of this year.

USM vice-chancellor Tan Sri Dzulkifli Abdul Razak told Business Times in Penang that the university plans to franchise its five-year medical degree programme by joining forces with KLE University's Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College in Belgaum, Karnataka state.

The move is seen as benefiting both institutions of higher learning, which are eyeing to recruit overseas students for their medical degree courses.

KLE University, or Karnatak Lingayat Education, is sponsored by KLE Society, established in 1916.
The university was set up in 2006 and boasts of faculties of dentistry, pharmacy, ayurveda, physiotherapy and nursing as well as medicine.

Dzulkifli said USM was invited by KLE to franchise its medical degree on the Indian subcontinent, adding that response from private students has been overwhelming.

"We were only looking at an initial 100 students and have received 500 applications so far," he said.

Dzulkifli said USM will not be committing any capital to the venture as all the infrastructure will be provided by the Indian partner.

"USM will have a permanent deputy dean based in India and the course will be run by Indian academics who are trained by us."

USM's School of Medical Sciences is located in Kubang Kerian in Kelantan.

"We will begin in July by franchising the five-year medical degree, after which we may consider dentistry and pharmacy.

"If this venture is successful, we may consider duplicating the franchising model in the United Arab Emirates," Dzulkifli said.

Apart from tapping the lucrative foreign student market, USM is also looking at giving its medical students exposure as exchange students in India, one of the few remaining countries where medical students can work on cadavers.

Haha...Then it would be better if we ask USM to set up a franchise in Japan...in spite of the natural disasters(danger lurks in every country)...at least it has a much comfortable clinical setting...Why India n United Arab Emirates? They luv the heat?
For the mosquito tips...I think we won't be applying it next year cos we'll be moving to the higher floors...

yea the ridset mat m roommate use quite ok... but that is with my room already installed with netting. n not forget to mention bout 'little charlie' in the campus.. can cause skin inflammation after it passed by ur body. i got once. if got condition have to get kind of cream to apply on the skin, can get the cream from campus student clinic.

Haizz...I stayed in ground floor during Matriculation...bad luck...swarms of mosquitoes...
Same here in my first year...but not as serious as Matric...
Just use whatever u have to exterminate them! But don't overdo it...it's poisonous after all...
Keep the windows n curtains closed when it's cool enough...buy a mosquito electrocuting racket if it persists...

Malaysia does...Isn't it that there r more cadavers in India? I thought quite a number of people in India sell the dead bodies of family members for medical studies?
That's just a quote from MarknJun post #219(quoted from another website)...not my opinion actually...

[Shirley]

HeLLO!!! I have juz get to know this thread here and juz finish viewing all the discussions...
I am an ex Stpm leaver and am glad to know few of the future coursemates here in medical course.

In btw, i hav viewed the buku panduan on9 and i see it is written that collared shirt and jeans is allowed to wear during lectures in kuliah...so i don think there is any changes this year in dress....hope there is not...hehe

Also, seniors, I hav a question regarding to dressing code in Kelantan. Is it compulsory for us especially gals to wear pants or skirt below knee when we go outside of the campus, for instance, when we go to KB MALL or any food stalls around there? Even if the pant is shorter a bit, juz above knee slightly, it is also nt allowed to wear like that?

[lowxuan]

To senior....Just wanna ask....any "ghost story" in USM health campus? or somewher that we shudnt go...or something that we shudnt say....or something we shud do before we settle in the hostel. You know.....we study in NEAR or IN hospital...Eventually...we live near hospital right?

For last year...the buku panduan is somewhat similar to this...but one or two weeks before that...my school had a senior n junior gathering for every local Uni + register for alumni association...then the seniors told us that something about the link between Apex n wear those formal clothes(encourage to wear them unless u try to stand out from the crowd).
There is no such strict dress code in Kelantan actually...U r being misled by certain political parties...I didn't know that as well till I came to Kelantan n discussed about the fake rumors about Kelantan with my relative there...
Haven't u see a lot of Thai gals around? They could be anytime hotter than u are...Wear what u like..for non-Muslims...

I heard of ppl telling stories that certain meat is not sold in Kelantan as well...it's all false...Whereas in other states...they r asked to sell behind black glasses(not to be mistaken as sunglasses)

I haven't heard of any taboo in USM so far...
Ghost story err...ya..one of the ReCom friends who was semi-active here last year said he encountered some supernatural phenomenon when he was driving around the golf course at midnight..but who would go to such deserted place at that time? Maybe u can experience in first hand!

:Phow bout the orientation week?
i heard from my um frend saying that the week is horrible~any idea?

[lawrenceleong88]

:Phow bout the orientation week?
i heard from my um frend saying that the week is horrible~any idea?

I thought I posted about this before?
http://www.recom.org/forum/showpost.php?p=326478&postcount=93
"The good thing about USM orientation is it only lasts for a week...then u begin learning about bioethics n social health...then proceed to nursing in which u r allocated in various department in the USM hospital..wearing white coats...n learn about nurses...

In USM I think it may be the best choice to study medicine since it doesn't have a long period orientation which includes ragging, which is the activity where seniors force their juniors to do stuffs. E.g. Some wake their juniors at the middle of the night n forced them to write 6 essays, some make them call all seniors through phone n talk till they r asked to stop, some forced the juniors to run to the top floor to retrieve something then run down to the ground floor only to be flushed wet by buckets of water by the seniors. These r unethical at all for medical students n these ruin our should-be helpful n not a sadistic(enjoy when u see other ppl suffer) mind. USM bans ragging at all costs n any offender will be charged seriously.

We have the first block which is the bioethics n social health to instill proper conduct of a doctor including family n society wellness. This block is operating while other unis are still having their ragging activity. We have the nursing block at the third week where we r allowed to go with white coats n visit to every department in USM hospital to be exposed how the nurses do their everyday task n learn about it so we r capable of doing some of their jobs ourselves even as doctor. Such as how nurses fold bed linen which requires specific technique n how to shift the patient from one end to another end of the bed(head to foot position I mean) n oso how to interact wif patients even more at the psychiatry ward."

Now u know why your UM friend said it's horrible?

Is there any food sold by chinese ppl in cafeteria? Or the nearest one is in Kota Bahru?

there is one vegetarian stall that sells chinese food n another caferia in health science school that sells chinese food~ it's a bit further from your hostel but can be considered near if you walk from the medical school.

for the question bout bringing laptop, for those who study using laptop usually will bring it along to the lecture hall. eg. me & lawrenceleong here.

[lcw]

erm seniors, i wana ask can v chose our own bed n table in the room or it is assigned? i knw rooms are assigned...

And the nearest one should be in Kebun Sultan...or u can say most, if not all Kebun Sultan stalls are operated by Chinese or Thai...
N yea..a laptop is a must for us both...u can look up vocabulary n the digital version of Atlas of Anatomy n other e-books during lectures easily...

I think there r questions here which have been answered...but it seems like u insist on not believing...What can I do for u?
I will only answer those which r fresh questions...
Bring an adequate amount of formal attire...it depends on how frequent u circulate them n how frequent u plan to do the washing every week...
Wear formal attire on registration day...for whatever date/time/venue...wearing formal is better than casual if u r not confirmed which u should wear...
