USMLE Research/Survery for Malaysian Candidates

Dear all,

This is Dr Yee (M2/98 batch).

I represent the education group from UK doing the research for USMLE candidates in Malaysia.

I understand from Cathy that you and a group of friends are interested in taking part.

Let me first thank you for your enthusiasm.

May I know how many of you are planning to participate?

We are organizing the group to be held on 15 January 2010, 16 January 2010 at IMU Bukit Jalil campus so that it will be convenient for you guys. 17 January is the IMU Open Day, so I think that would be out of question.

I am really hoping you can spread the news far/wide and tell your colleagues that we are doing this. Participants will be guaranteed renumeration of RM100 per person. So, I think why not come and share your thoughts on how you prepare for USMLE and the hurdles you face as you earn some handsome cash.

We are short on participants now. But I know there are many prospective USMLE candidates at IMU. It's possible that the news has not reached them yet.

We would be grateful if you could circulate this event around IMU so that my UK friends will benefit to the fullest from this endeavour.

Thank you very much!

Christchurch, New Zealand (University of Otago)

I posted this up some time ago but I feel its more relevant now after receiving our matching results. Those transferring to Otago might wanna check it out =)

Dear Sir/Madam

I'm a registered medical doctor in New Zealand, having trained in Christchurch Medical School.

I have a house in Christchurch that is up for rent and I'm just wondering whether any of the IMU students would be interested. For the past few years I have rented it out to IMU students and would like to have another group of IMU students again for next year. Can you please advise on the best way to advertise for this?

Thanks.

Michelle Law

Dr. Nilesh's Anatomy Blogspot

Dear all,

Dr. Nilesh has set up an anatomy blogspot for students to refer to. It is very good so please do check it out at www.imuanatomy.blogspot.com. Currently, it is for the senior medical students but there is no harm in everyone knowing about it.

Warmest regards,

Feedback on matching results

Dear Karim and Sowmya,

It is to my understanding that the results of the matching caused quite a bit of upset in your batch. If it is rather serious than this is an issue we would like to bring up in the upcoming academic meeting (this Wednesday). Please ask you batchmates to email us their feedback asap (to imusrc@gmail.com).

Thanks you.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah
