Well, there are so many fields in dentistry. In my case, 2 become an orthodontist, u have 2 become an ordinary dentist 1st den only u can specialised into da fields u desire.Not sure 4 how many years though( 2-3years). If u don wan 2 become an orthodontist, u could become a paediatric dentist, prosthodontist, dental surgeon, endodontist, periodontist.

[anqi]

Count me in, i applied for dentistry under JPA 2008 too!

During my interview, the panel once asked me whether i will accept if country offered is Indonesia, then i answered "Of course i will accept" in no time. A bit rush? Hmm, i dont think so since i really want to become a dentist, so i dont mind about the location as long as i'm given chance to study dentistry..

I agree with u...As long we are given da chance 2 study dentistry, da country does not matter 2 me...If we get it, jpa is so kind enough 2 sponsor 4us...i think we should ask no more....Plus, after we come out as profesional dentist, if we are doing a good job, I think da patients wont ask where did u study, as long they r curious lah ( but there r some ppl dat r very particular where did u get ur degree frm).....

[weiz]

hello,i also apply for dentistry,nice to meet u all!
I have a few questions here.

1)u can only specialize in dentistry after u serve the government for 10 years under the bond?

2)after the bond, if i want to specialize ,does it matter which university i came from?

3)after the bond,if i want to work overseas,does it matter which country i graduated from?

4)is India a good country to study dentistry?

[phoebe902004]

[Miracle_seed]

Sorry to interrupt, but since you all haven't got your offer letter, you still don't know your destination countries... Anyway, if according to previous years, those who got around 10A1s are most likely to get India... 11A1 and above, you stand a chance to go Australia, Ireland, Uk etc... So mentally be prepared...

[laila89]

I also got dentistry... :))
At last, I know that there are many applicants for dentistry..

[Lalala11]

do u mean that 11A1 and above will be sent to either Australia,Ireland or UK ?

if less than 11A1,it is India?

[Shawn_Paul]

Hmm I've got Dentistry as well but i don't mind India. Human nature to always 'want more' =.=

Herm hes just basing it on previous years. I don't think it works like that anyway.

Not exactly, but most likely to be that, though there are some exceptions too... One of my friends who got 11 straight A1 got Australia, while some with 10A1 and perhaps an A2 got India...

Heard someone mention in another thread there was a group for JPA scholars 2007. If there's enough wana make a Dentistry Jpa Scholars group? For 2008 of course xD But this thread is dying down x_X

[AnnDeBlurry]

Ok , let me provide some info here .

As I know (info from a medic student from UPM ) , Students study under medicine and dentistry will learn the same things for the first two years , which means we might share the same class with medic students for the first two years .

[phoebe902004]

Are you sure with this infomation? As I know, medicine and dentistry students will learn more or less the same things for first two year, but not exactly the same, and they will have seperate classes... In fact dental and medical faculties are seperated in universities... Plus, if I'm not mistaken, there isn't any dentistry course in UPM...

Yes , there is dentistry course there....Maybe it'll be different in different universities...My main point is what they learn are more or less the same .

Da 1st 2 yrs is da same, anatomy n bla bla.... In Malaysia, only UM n UKM offer dentistry....
However, if I'm not mistaken, although both study anatomy, dental students and medical students study different parts of body at different details, dental students study head, neck and brain in detail, but parts below abdomen are not that important, while medical students hav to study all, but head part not as detailed as dental students. Correct me if I'm wrong...

i suppose u maybe right coz our jaw including teeth and gum are closely connected to d brain and neck through the nerves in the head..once i got a bone stuck in my gum i suffer nerve pain that whole week until my dentist removed it off:amuse.

The Bachelor of Dental Science is a five-year full-time professional degree course. Following successful completion of this course, the graduate is able to register with the Dental Board of Western Australia as a dentist and enter the profession immediately, without any further training period. The course is subject to quota with approximately 50 places divided between Standard (1/3) and Non-standard (2/3) applicants.

This course of study provides education and training to be a dentist, involving students in the dental care of patients. Modern dentistry is concerned with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases of the mouth in order to maintain oral health. As personal appearance, speech and general health are assuming more importance with individuals, they are demanding higher levels of professional care, orthodontic treatment, replacement of missing teeth and the treatment of gum disease, and discoloured and damaged teeth.

In the course of practice, the dentist is required to undertake sophisticated treatment procedures and to use a wide variety of materials. Therefore a sound physical scientific background is essential. In addition, the dentist must have an extensive knowledge of the structure and functions of the human body in order to understand all that is necessary for the well-being of patients. Graduates need to be thoroughly proficient in the diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment procedures associated with all the dental conditions they may be called upon to treat.

In the first year of the course, students study basic medical sciences, medical chemistry, physiology, biophysics, biomorphology and oral health and disease. In the second year some of the first-year subjects are continued and histology, biochemistry and microbiology are introduced. There is a gradual progression towards dental subjects until, in the final year of the course, students spend most of their time working in clinical supervised out-placements. Students are rotated through a series of clinical settings, both in central and metropolitan Perth, as well as rural practice.

The majority of dentists are self-employed in general dental practice. Some are employed in the state's dental services, providing dental care to children, the indigenous, and the geographically and financially disadvantaged communities. There are also opportunities for graduates to become academics undertaking teaching and research in the university sector.

jz a sharing...found it from the website of the university of western australia..

Program Outline

The Bachelor of Dental Science (BDSc) program normally takes five years of full-time tertiary study. The BDSc program is based on the 1-3-1 model of dental education:

* one year of basic science
* three years of applied dental science
* one year of extramural clinical practice

The first year of study in basic sciences is undertaken at UQ's St Lucia campus, while the next three years are largely completed at the School of Dentistry in Turbot Street.

The final year consists of full-time clinical practice within Queensland Health clinics located throughout the State.

The BDSc program is built on a foundation of general studies in the biological sciences. Students are trained as scientists as well as clinical practitioners.

Students commence clinical work in a few areas during second year, and this experience is broadened in third and fourth years. Patients are assigned to each student, who is then responsible for their dental care.

Years 2-4 cover most of the clinical work in discipline areas such as:

* General Dental Practice
* Operative Dentistry
* Orthodontics
* Paediatric Dentistry
* Periodontics
* Prosthodontics

Students also attend teaching hospitals for experience in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Studies in Community Dentistry, Dental Materials, Oral Biology and Pathology and Pharmacology continue during these years.

is it true that the bond for JPA scholars doing dentistry are 10 years?
Which one is better, working for the gov or going private?

[yummyummylicious]

is it true that the bond for JPA scholars doing dentistry are 10 years?
Which one is better, working for the gov or going private?

yesss, its so true...the bond is 10 years...
If you are working for money, then going private will be better. From a recent statistic, the paid for a dentist in the gov sector is RM2800.00 (more or less) and in the private sector , the paid for a dentist will be RM6000 to RM8000...(pls correct me if i am wrong)

[Jace]

USD 80, 000+??are we gonna be sponsored by jpa, or do we need to pay by ourselves if we're taking up tuition classes?

Phoebe , have you get the letter ?
not yet.but mum called jpa and told me im heading to india.i heard u got uk!!congrats..hehe.

[Jace]

wanna ask smthg...every yr many dentists graduated frm uni and hav to work for gov 3yrs BUT every General Hospital only has about 1 or 2 dentist so how to hav so many dentists working in GH? N we hav to bond 10yrs for jpa scholars...do they hav the place for us??? If they dont hav place can we juz cabut lari? 1 of my frens she was a jpa scholar 4 engineering. When she graduated she sent a letter to inform jpa but the gov din ask her to work for the gov so finally she work for private company...

phoebe902004, wat course did u apply? i also got india. Dentistry. But havent receive my letter yet...tuition fees means the fees for the course only. There r other fees like exam fees , caution fees n all dat. Watever fees it is, it'll b sponsored by the gov..dont worry...

[Shawn_Paul]

Jace i heard u said noway u're gona accept JPA?
Rejected?

Btw my dentist, aunty, grandfather and friend recommended Manipal =.=
Of course la Manipal is the most prestigious. But there's one in Salem too and a few others. They seem okay xD.

What I'm worried about is KTT >_< *gulp*

[Jace]

i'm ok wif india but i'm VERY NOT OK with KTT:notrust....hopelessly ugly, geli, horrible, terrible.....yucks !!! Can't bring myself to accept the offer....mayb i'll ask jpa whether i can do my a-levels in penang at my own expense since i'm already halfway thru the AS exam. Then later baru take da scholarship go india...I like manipal too..:nuts

btw...i still haven received my offer letter yet ...wonder wat happened :notrust...

[Shawn_Paul]

No1 likes KTT by looks. Maybe it'll be okay lol. I don't know wether they allow that or not hmm. No letter here too.

[dcwk04]

Hey guys, =P

I also got India. But have NOT received my offer letter. I suppose all the India dudes get their letter late, because, *cough cough* we are second rate.

NO LA! Joking. India is as good as any other place. The fact that JPA wants to sponsor us overseas is already great, so no need complain liao. Heck they can give me <s>Iraq</s> (woi, how to strike out in this forum? dang...) and I'll accept it.

Just the KTT part. Bit dodgy. But what to dooo.

Some students had the same request before, but JPA did not allow. The statement given by JPA is: You're now under sponsorship of JPA, and you have to follow and attend all courses and programmes arranged by JPA. Many students had the same feelings as you before, but if you know the way, you can find yourself enjoying your life in KTT.

P/S: Friends is one thing you'll treasure the most in KTT.

[ah_seng]

i think Jace should be allowed to continue in Taylor...if not it is wasted...

i think Jace should be allowed to continue in Taylor...if not it is wasted...
There was a same case in my batch. A student already had AS cert when she sat for AS. Nothing can be done though...

[Jace]

haih...since like dat i'm gonna hav to reject...at least i din waste it coz another person will have the chance to continue his/her studies wif this scholarship... Good Luck to all of you ya !!

[Shawn_Paul]

[thia_lyn]

Yeah.. Mine is 60 months and didn state whether it's for twinning or not. they just wrote there Universiti di India.

you are not the only one, i got india too...and i dont have the Lampiran A3 too...


Yeah.. I guess all of us who are going to india will not hav the lampiran. but i heard that the pocket money they are providing for students in india is about 500USD per month.

[yummyummylicious]

Yeah.. I guess all of us who are going to india will not hav the lampiran. but i heard that the pocket money they are providing for students in india is about 500USD per month.

What i know, the allowance is different from states to states ( or cities to cities ) Some will be given 500USD / month and some will be given 700USD /month.... depends on your place as living costs are different...

[ah_seng]

When you are heading 2 India, u know it is the start of all thing wonderful...You see, the universities there offer a lot of places for foreign dentistry students(although the quota increase now). That means we actually no need 2 worry should we cannot have a place to study degree. It is not so competitive like UK, Ireland and Australasia countries where offer very few place for foreign students(some even offer one place). Plus,those who go for those western countries have to compete with student from other countries and other private college students as well(as those countries have "class" mah!) Some U in UK and Aus even required u to attend interview because the place offer for foreign student are so limited.

Relax fellow India-bound dentistry students, let's strive hard and aim toward the university!!

[Jace]

[Miracle_seed]

It's interesting to see that the trend JPA awarding scholarship this year has changed, perhaps they have different criteria in determining country this year instead of number of A1. By the way, having a B3 doesn't really matter last time, if you have even more A1s to cover up, say 12. Generally, bumis need less number of A1 than non Bumi to get the same country.

[KiKo]

Sorry to burst your bubble but don't get your hopes up high yet. Last year mostly 13A+ got uk. The bulk of JPA dentistry will be coming to lovely KTT.

[junedesst]

ohh, bt what is KTT?

Agree, they have changed their trend, so now we can't say how they will judge us for sure. But for me, any country will do:)

I read somewhere (but I forgot where) in the forum, they say if you get UK and you failed the UK entrance exam they're gonna relocate you to another country which is "easier" to enter, they won't put you back locally I think, since they promised you PILN ;D

It don't have to be necessarily that way. They do promise overseas, but bear in mind.

It's you're sole responsibility to perform well and get an admission. Since JPA is not a business entity - government- they do consider and lenient. But in cases where you did very badly, they might dismiss you or only sponsor you to study locally.

There are a few of my seniors(7 or 6 people) didn't get a place in uk for dentistry course and all of them do very very well in their academics....well means straight 4 A's!! Some of them only get 1 interview out of 4 universities they chose and unfortunately they are very very lucky to get that one offer... So here i'm not going to burst ur bubbles because getting scholarship to Uk espeacially for dentistry means that u have to be prepared mentally beacause it's a tough course. So for those of my seniors who do not get any offer yet, JPA already told them the probabaly going to be sent to India.

[poutingdoll]

Any of the Recomers are currently in India Uni for Dentistry or for the matter any other courses....

Need info on the following:-


Standard of the Uni you are in
Living Standard - Water & Electricity, Road network, airport etc
Cost of living - On a scale of 1 (Cheapest) - 10 (Most expensive) would JPA allowance be sufficient to meet your dialy expenses?
Type of environment e.g. Town, Kampung, City, cleaniness, Malls Food (all curry only) etc
Another thing is the accomodation arrange by JPA?

Yes..she means that.

@<hidden>: so you made it through the interview and secured a place in UK?? The whole "failing to get a place after interview thing"..it only happens if we get UK..? right?? I mean being rejected and all. Since their standard is higher...or..it is possible with Aus,Ireland and NZ too?

Haih at the end of the day..the offer letter still means nothing..HUH....:cry

Owh good lord :shock:

i've heard of seniors getting uk, ireland and india...but how come no seniors here going to NZ and australia...this year first batch ar???

[Boyz_Zoo]

i've heard of seniors getting uk, ireland and india...but how come no seniors here going to NZ and australia...this year first batch ar???
Probably a cut cost measure cause the Australian and New Zealand Dollar dropped tremendously during the economic meltdown. So, it is cheaper to people there than sending them to UK.

[Miracle_seed]

i've heard of seniors getting uk, ireland and india...but how come no seniors here going to NZ and australia...this year first batch ar???No, this is not the first batch, my friend got Australia for dentistry 3 years ago, and according to her, there were just about 12 Australia-bound dentistry students for her batch, and places for dentistry in Australia are very limited, only 6 universities offering dentistry that time, and now the number has gone down because some have changed the entry requirement and dentistry is no longer an undergraduate course. I think the case would be more or less the same for New Zealand, as there are only 2 universities offering medicine in New Zealand, there shouldn't be more for dentistry.

oh dear.........meaning dat if we hav met d min requirements in A levels, d university probably wont accept us ??? straight As also cant get in then wat exactly do they want??? i heard dis only happens to those who fail to meet d min requirements??omg...dis is really tough...:cry

hahaha....don't apply yet la...will apply dis september when ucas open...i was saying these based on my experience watching and talking with my seniors who had apply... the interview is for us to get place in uk and it will conducted by at least 2 senior tutors or admission tutors of the universities...they will fly from uk each year to recuit malaysian students to study in their universities... actually it happen to australia and also new zealand and also ireland... if we do not do very well during the interviews they will reject us la... australia and new zealand are much tougher...my batch, jpa only send 9 people to australia and 2 people to new zealand compare to uk they send 17 people and ireland 9 people...india i guess will be more that these figures la of coz...:amuse

[ayja]

Universities in aus/nz look basically base their allocations of places in their university on your TER.

for australia -certain universities do not necessarily look at your TER (percentile) but instead, they look at your ISAT scores (it's a test - google to find out more) first before determining if you should be granted for an interview. Then it will largely be based on your performance during the interview.. if you're granted a spot - they wouldn't place so much emphasis on TER, instead they will allocate a space if you pass the minimum TER. Other unis however, will grant everyone an interview at first, and only give you a spot once you get the required TER. Mind you, the TER requirements for dentistry are relatively higher compared to other courses, sometimes even more than medicine. So yes, dentistry for australia requires a lot of hard-work, not only academic-wise. Different universities have different processes that students have to go through. But you needn't worry about the process, if you're aus bound IDP Edu Aus will come to college to give you a briefing on the process, deadlines for applications and they will liase with your scholarship body - leaving the rest up to you, and your brain. Oh and some unis require CVs as well.

And uniMelb now no longer accepts undergraduate students for dentistry, medicine and vet science.

[sopie]

ooo....forgot to mention if u get uk...u have to take ukcat test and write ur own personal statement in ucas form....they will ask what u write in personal statement during the interview so dont make up story...just write about urself. There is no cut point for ukcat because they will ranking u with all students who apply which are from all over the world(like top 100 or 200) and if u are within the ranking..u will get the interview....dont be scare la if u get the scholarship to any country, i'm sure u will work really hard to get a place there:)

My sis just phoned them and they said we won't know which country we got in the coming letter. They will only decide to send us to which country after our pre-U, depends on our result. If you get 4.00 then you can choose your favourite country:)

[junedesst]

yua renn, are you sure? because you know in the surat pemberitahuan at the esila web, they say that they're gonna tell you which country you got,
bt i hope we know the country we got until we finished pre-u,

Whoa serious? Thats cool. Theres cons to this though.

You guys will be competing heavily among yourselves (scholars), and the sense of camaraderie and comradeship that comes with what "country-bound" you are would probably be gone.

Like for example, we India bound scholars know that we're going to India and all we need is a minimum cut off point of ABB. As long as we get that pointer, we'll be flying overseas to matter what. Theres no unfriendly competition among us cause we all know "we're all in this together" (haha quote High School Musical, akk..).

But now the juniors will have no bound, everyone will be fighting for the top position... hmm.. maybe thats a good thing for academics. Depends lah. If all of you kiasu then everyone go crazy la.

Hmm... It's interesting if it's true... However I think it's not quite likely to happen, as different countries require different pre-U, which pre-U will all of you taking then? A-Level?

If they are ALL taking A Levels, Im gonna be sadistic and hope they all come to KTT (even though I know theres not enough space to accomodate BUT) it'll be so cool and I'll have tonnes and tonnes of juniors! *squeals*

Right. Cool.

[Miracle_seed]

Oh yeah, coming to think about that, if the news is to be true, I guess we know why this year many students with brilliant results didn't secure the scholarship, instead some with average results managed to... :P
