  • After my first video on "How I Got Into Medical School", I've been receiving messages regarding my study experience in IMU. Therefore, I had decided to create this video to further explain what I had done in the first 2.5 years (preclinical year) in IMU.
    I'm deeply sorry that I can't help much with clarification on the questions regarding the clinical years as I have not experienced them yet.
    As the matter of time, I only mentioned some points briefly in my video so guys please don't hesitate to leave a comment down below or contact me if there's any other further question that you want to ask and I'll try my best to answer some of your doubts 😊
    If you guys find this video helpful please let me know by leaving a like and also don't forget to support me by subscribing to my channel !!

    • @katherinelim6060
      @katherinelim6060  3 роки тому +4

      It was around 3 years ago since I had my interview, it might be a little bit different now but I'll still share my experience with you here,
      They started the interview by asking things about you, how many siblings I have, family background. Then they move on by asking about what extracurricular activities I did back in my high school, what leadership post I hold last time, ask how I normally find a solution to the obstacles I face and when their misunderstanding within the club, what will I do to help etc. Finally the last one is the most interesting part because it's a scenario question! my question was, as a captain in the "Titanic situation" what will you do, and they will ask who will you wanna save etc.
      Anyway, I don't think IMU interview is really that hard, they just wanna test on your communication skills, problem solving skills etc. :)

      Wong Sak Sang 你好,谢谢你一直以来的支持 ☺️
      1)这个我很难衡量它,因为form4和form5的科目都不一样而且不一定每一个科目都是需要背书,我个人觉得medicine会比较多(一个system有anatomy, physiology, pathology, embryology, biochemistry, microbiology etc要读和背,再加上clinical session需要学的东西也很重要哦,例如说:应该要针对patient的症状问什么样问题和做什么样的检查)
      2)不一定哦,但是为了避免infringement,最好是在PBL,Clinical Session,clinical/hospital visits穿formal,如果只有lecture的话或者是星期五可以穿smart casual。但是时间久了你可能会发现到有些人会不跟dresscode(穿得暴露,denim jeans,裙子太短,穿sneaker),如果被抓到的话可是会被训话的哦😂

      They have MMS which they use models to teach us anatomy, they don’t use cadavers (you can enter the MMS anytime to do revision ) IMU is not bad, but main thing is that we still have to depend more on ourselves . I got my free ebooks from my senior I knew from orientation (not sure whether there’s still orientation or not because of covid19) but u can approach me if you need any help with that.

      - yes there is, it’s rm 24909 + another 2400 for the international students
