A Day in the Life: Monash Medical School Student 

right. he even said studying was not his priority

If your Australian it's pretty typical for us regardless of what we are studying.

Lol Monash Medical School is rank 29th in the world as of 2017, which places it in front of Cornell, NYU, Mayo and Brown..

shia labuff, some people react to stress differently. And of course, some people you could say (don't it seriously enough.)

This is an MD. It may not be the same exact MD offered in the US, but it certainly is an MD. Monash's transition from MBBS to MD was mostly only a name change. The curriculum remains vastly similar. An MBBS is pretty much the same as an MD, here in Australia, and certainly isn't "considerably easier". I can't say much for the US since I haven't looked much into its system; but, what I do know is that, as far as medical school is concerned, Australia and the US are pretty similar. The differences are more apparent, afterwards, during the "residency" years. And you're comparing third year (the hardest year) to this guy who's in his second year (of 5 years). A real Harvard med student would have realised that.

Chue Cola totally agree about the weather thing. You get four seasons in one day and I never understood people who think the weather here is amazing like?? Melbourne really?

It depends what your definition of good weather is. To me, thunderstorms or a rainy day is great weather.

Yes Sydney has better weather, and better looking girls.

I agree Melbourne weather is shitty as hell, but I think he was referring to that day lol and it looked pretty good compared to the usual gloomy weather

Aussies hahah

Jamie Beaton Nah. New York is better!!

They only changed their undergrad medicine program from MBBS to MD recently so that'd probably explain it

I wonder why they felt the need to shift to a new program. The undergraduate model was better, wasn't it?

They still offer both an undergrad (5 years) and post grad program (4 years), I think it's just that they've changed the name of the undergrad from MBBS to MD (possibly a change in curriculum as well). A growing number of Aus unis are making similar shifts.

ohh. Here in India all the Universities offer an undergraduate medical school MBBS program of 5.5 years. Even we med school aspirants in India sometimes wonder what it is like to study in a post grad program.

They still have the undergraduate program.

Monash has changed the name of the degree to "Doctor of Medicine", but the undergraduate entry into the programme remains unchanged.

it stands for Monash University Medical Undergraduates' Society which is the med student society at monash

The name was recently changed to Monash University Medical Students' Society, but MUMSS sounds silly so the old abbreviation was kept.

Me too how old are you

Nadifa Abdi Many universities in Australia uses points systems. You can find the required points on their website. So for example: Engineering requires 8 points for A levels students to be eligible to study. A* and A equals to 5 points, B is 4 points, C is 3 points and D is 2 points. Hope it helps

For this degree at Monash, you need 3 A’s (AAA) and one has to be in chemistry.

Colimia Greenblades To study medicine at monash the entry requirements are AAA for those doing A Levels?

Nicole Why and how?

Uni pride isn't really a thing in aus. for example it would be social suicide to walk around campus wearing a jumper with Monash written on it in caps

That might just be a Melbourne thing. I know in Sydney the uni rivalry is pretty strong, even if it's in jest sometimes. Also lots of people wear uni clothing.

The only uni that comes to mind when you say that is usyd lol. I don't think I've ever seen anyone walking around with UNSW or UTS. But then again I'm not from Sydney

I go to UTS, and I see a fair few people unironically wearing merch. The UTS USyd rivalry is pretty strong though, UNSW more does its own thing.

Jolly Holly dumbass

@@MikeY-et2gq Like you can ever get into the school I'm studying at now. :)

@@jollyholly2851 and which school is that? I’m in year 10 so not in uni yet
