With a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to medical training, this course is equivalent to that offered at Monash University’s Australian campus. The selection criteria, learning objectives and assessments are identical. This course draws on Monash’s world-leading expertise in medical practice and research, and our school’s particular strengths in the cardiometabolic field, infection and immunity, global public health and neuroscience. Many of our graduates have gone on to practise in Australia. Areas of study The medical curriculum incorporates four themes: • • • • Personal and professional development Population, society, health and illness Scientific basis of clinical practice Clinical skills. Besides the well-equipped laboratories and comfortable lecture halls, the learning environment at Monash is amazing. I’m truly honoured to have been taught by renowned public figures, including endocrinologist Dato’ Dr Anuar Zaini and cardiothoracic surgeon Dato’ Dr Farouk Musa. In learning groups, I’ve had tutors such as Dr Robert Penafort and Dr Prithvy Lingham who are student favourites.
