Are you contemplating a Medicine Degree? Want to know what’s it like to be in the medical profession, beyond what is shown on TV?

You’re in luck — the Malaysian Medics International (MMI) is back with their annual one-day programme, Making an Informed Decision (MAID) 2018.

MAID 2018 will let you experience the day in a life of a medical student and expose you to the realities of the profession — both the good and the bad. During the programme, you’ll not only be exposed to core activities conducted in medical courses, but you will also be surrounded with medical students, doctors, nurses and other medical professionals where you can pick their brains regarding the field.

Think of it as a quick crash course that will help you make an informed decision and decide if you are suited for medical school!

When and where?

Date: 30 June 2018 (Saturday)

Venue: Hospital Sungai Buloh, Selangor

Time: 8am to 5.30pm

Why should you attend?

If you want to know what’s it’s like to go beyond the textbooks and experience the life of a medical student, then this event is for you! During the programme, you can:

• Observe and take part in common medicine teaching practices such as clinical skills and bedside teaching (BST) sessions
• Learn firsthand from doctors and specialists on their experiences as a medical professional
• Attend the Medical School 101 sharing session and learn about the realities of studying medicine as well as the application and admission process into medical school
• Expand your network with like-minded medical students and other healthcare stakeholders and professionals

How to apply

Tickets are priced at RM85, but this is a small amount to pay compared to the fees you may end up wasting in medical school (which ranges from RM300,000 and higher) should you find yourself losing interest halfway through!

That’s not all — we have some good news for EduAdvisor readers! We have partnered with MMI so you can get RM15 off your tickets! But hurry — the offer is limited to 70 students.

So what are you waiting for? Register here to enjoy your discount today!
