- You've always heard me mentioning about the bright side of becoming a doctor. Still, in this video, I'll be revealing the problems that are faced by medical graduates in Malaysia. Not trying to discourage or stop you from pursuing medicine but just want to let you know what you'll be facing in the future if you want to become a doctor in Malaysia. Although after knowing all of these, I still think I will continue to choose to study medicine, I really wish someone had told me about this before I chose my path, at least I can be more well-prepared and know what to expect in the future. Don't get me wrong, medicine is definitely a good degree to study given that you're doing because you genuinely love it. Things can get hard in your medical journey but what will keeps you motivated is the right intention of why you want to become a doctor.
I hope you all the best in your future. 🤗

thank you for uploading this!
I hope i can be doctor when i get older i will try my best 🙂
This is really dissapointing for me🙁... cuz my most intention of entering med school was to have stable job and allowance... i hope malaysian medical field & industries will expand and not only focusing on becaming a doctor...😕
more money should go into the health care system!
@@katherinelim6060 i wish I can persue in med too. I really want it. But I'm not in science stream. Is there another way to become doctor without bio chem physic😭
@@irdinasyahirah8660 Unfortunately no. A lot of the medical courses require Bio, Chem, Physics and Maths/Addmaths, what more, with a B.
@@irdinasyahirah8660 i think you can go for pra diploma in uitm, you can take biology, physics, chemistry before taking diploma in any medical field
have been waiting for this thankyou for uploading ❣👶🏻
Hey cantik
What you said is true, but you must work in other fields too to gaining your skills right after you be call for Housemanship or continuing your master degree related to what is specialty that wanted to be.
Good info. Thanks. ❤
Because the medical expenses in the country keep increasing from year to year, government does not want to allocate more budget on help care, thus currently, they opt to cut the benefit of doctors by applying contract system, cutting down district hospital houseman numbers and reallocate them to state hospital for the sake of public healthcare cost :(
I love your ascent ❤️
Aww thanks 🥰
Good info
Say hey, if swiss doctor wanna work and stay in Malaysia as well, whom can i refer thou? Urgently need assist.. thanks!!
Hello! Love your video! I have a question here, if internationals are going to study in Malaysia for medicine course, would you recommend? Does all the learnings and clinical visits are in bahasa language?
She is allright
i want to become a doctor what so happens. Right now i am in 11th grade and i have taken biology for a reason and it is my interest to become a doctor and i want to treat patients even if it takes a lot of time
Fighting ~8th grade
Hi! Thank you for your video! I have a question, may I ask which universities have the degrees that are recognised outside of Malaysia and which ones don't? Thank you!
hi there are few private universities like monash malaysia which is also recognized by australia, I'm not so sure what else we have here, my advise is to explore and check with the university :)
she is super pretty
Hearing this, do you have the chance to choose where do you want to complete the housemanship? I'm a Sabahan student. I'm planning to become doctor in Sabah. Eventhough I pursue medical degree at peninsular Malaysia, can I choose Sabah as the place where I will do the housemanship?
Everyone who graduated with a recognised degree has the chance to choose where they want to do their housemenship. However every hospital have limited spots for housemenship so some people might need to be on queue for the hospital they insist to do their housemenship in
Thank you for the video. Indeed the medical field in Malaysia has been oversaturated for quite a long time, and has largely remain unresolved. Just curious tho, which medical school will you be graduating from?
You’re welcome, that’s true. i’ll be graduating from ANU 😊
@@katherinelim6060 That's a good university! I am a long way from graduation in 2026, as im first year under a direct pathway to MD thing in UWA. Just hoping the internship becomes better in Malaysia and Australia by the time of graduation.
@@jinhangcheong9012 i dont think there’s a problem in placement for australia but it’s definitely gonna be harder in malaysia though i wanna go back too in the future.
Hello Katherine Lim , I am pre med in malaysia and want to be a Doctor In United States. As it is important to have medical hours for pre meds to get enter Medical school. Can I work in Malysians Hospitals as a Scrub or any kind of job as a pre med.?
May I know is it mandatory to serve in Malaysia's government or public hospital for a Malaysian graduated from overseas renowned medical university who already has 7 years of working experience as a specialist (surgeon) before he/she can apply for a position in Malaysia's private hospitals?
How to perceive masters in Malaysia? After completing undergraduate medical degree in abroad
Cewek doktor...hehe😊
I am also student in malaysia in mbbs can i work after graduation? Reply as a international student
Hey katherine thank u sm for sharing this......i would like to know is it compulsory to do pre- u??

obgyn specialist need further training after graduating from med school, still have to go through internship, residency and registrar training
Please can you tell me can i pay my hole university fees by working part time while studying ?
❤
Im asking an off-topic question here, juz want some advice, do you think biomedical science is a good degree? I know its not an alternate route to get into medical tho
Depends on what's the reason you want to do biomedical science? Do you want to continue into research field or it's just because of interest? If you're doing it for research, I would say overseas provide more research opportunity, if it's for interest it really does not matter whether it's a good degree or not, I have friends who did biomedical science, they still get to work in different field actually.
Hye so after I become nurse. Can I be go to medical school?
Hey Katherine, thank u for the video, I was searching for videos which may help me grant a spot to do housemanship in Malaysia maybe ! I’ve completed my bachelor degree aboard and wishing to train in Malaysia, would u guide me ?
Not sure how's the process like to apply for job as a doctor in malaysia tho but I do know that many medical graduates who graduated in malaysia had issue getting a job here as well because there's job limitations at the moment.
Tetaplah tersenyum, karena ini jalan yang telah ku pilih
Totally understand your feeling hahahaha
入行须谨慎。哈哈哈
Is there any way to become a doctor even though I'm not a science stream student in high school?
i want to be a doctor too but im not a science stream student so is there any way ??
Sorry to break it for you, but if you think on studying in UA, then no option for you since the requirement need bio, phy n chem even if you had diploma. If u has the money, u can apply on private with health related dip or liberal art degree of cgpa 3.7 + (as far as I know).
Hey, I'm an art & business student in my secondary school. Can I still get a chance to enter medical school?😬
You’ll need your science subjects ya
Cannot. You must have those science subjects especially Biology.
Yes you must have all 3 science subjects phy,chem and especially biology
Hi Isaac. You could try getting into a Psychology programme for the beginning. As psychology is a part of the medical field, it's more diverse in work fields and opportunities it offers. There's a Bachelor of Science in Psychology(BS) and a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology(BA), both with and without (Hons). If you don't meet requirements of having certain subjects to take up a medical degree, given your background in Arts and Business, you could go for a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology (BA)(Hons), and find out further from the particular education institute if you need any additional subjects to be qualified as a pre-med before you get into med school. For instance, a Psychology degree is considered a pre-med degree in University of Cyberjaya (UoC) which was also previously known as CUCMS.
You are allowed to study medicine after a psychology degree there. Maybe it's because some key subjects are covered during the whole study period which qualifies you as a pre-med student. You could plan out your path further after that. I have seen people graduate as doctors even at the age of 48, and some even older with no background of science in school or their previous jobs. Everyone's journey to med school is different. They all started somewhere, worked hard, and succeeded to pave their way to med school. But keep in mind what Dr Katherine said about the acceptance as permanent doctors. Besides that, everything seems good if you're willing to still go for it. Remember, it's always ok to start later in life,many started later and make amazing doctors today!You can do it too. Good luck!
@@veenpr5470 Thanks for the advice!
I'm super demotivated and feel useless studying. But im not gonna give up, this year is my SPM year. I will enter Matrics.By that time i think hte ministry of health will change. My dream is to be a neurosurgeon. Do you think neurosurgeons have less competition?
Med Student here. I wanted to get into neurosurg too and what is, it is the most competitive specialty anywhere in the world. But fret not if you have the courage and genius enough you can get any specialty you wanted
@schhort haimen wow, thanks for encouragement mate. I needed it. But now I switched to engineering bc in maalysia nowadays its quite hard for med students to get a permanent job , and it takes a lot a time and money. So yeah I switched to engineering now and I'm feeling better as it was a good decision. By the way, good luck on you medical school
Hi I only have biology and chemistry in my spm as science subjects I don't have Physics can I do medicine. If cannot mean any other way for me to take physics in SPM or after SPM
Yes you can
@@katherinelim6060 what way is it for me to do medicine without physics in SPM
@@katherinelim6060 can pls explain
@@Bros17Memes you can attend IGCSE( International General Certificate of Secondary Education) to gain your Physics and the grade of it must be at least B and above.
However, to study medicine(MBBS/MD) in Malaysia, you have to have 5Bs for chem, bio, physics, maths and one more another subjects as the pre-requirements.
@@tantongxuan4842 thank you . Where to do IGCSE
Can I still apply for MBBS degree even many years after my SPM? I already got a bachelors degree in chemistry, but now considering becoming a dermatologist/aesthetic specialist. What would be the best way? Thanks for you answer in advance 🙏
yes of course! as long as the requirement is met, you can go to med school anytime.

In UK one need to compete to get into competitive specialty residency. Is this similar in Malaysia?
I'm not sure about UK tho, one thing about UK is that they filtered the med degree that they recognise so it might not be as many medical graduate as in malaysia but still you need to double confirm with someone else before making any decision!
@@katherinelim6060 Thank you
Just migrate to Australia and become rich.
Do a twinning program where you get an Australian degree, with a guaranteed Australian internship and life is set.
Sorry to ask ,the bachelor degree is mbbs or md right so mrcp ,mrcs ,they are medical school right,so after medschool we are specialists or not
you're welcome to ask your question! after medschool we are not a specialist yet, have to undergo another years of training before that

你好 想询问一下申请登记成为医生是否需要SPM数理化成绩（若已通过UEC成绩报考学校并持有MBBS文凭）
如果是要在马来西亚登记成为医生需要的是SPM马来文和历史（要是Credit）。

Do malaysian medical universities offer scholarships to international students?
It’s quite rare because it’s already hard for locals to get scholarship :(
Do it for marriage people ! lokktor get all the pretty girls and good guys !!
how many A's should i get for SPM?
it depends on which med school you're enrolling into, but first you'll have to also consider going into a Pre-U programme before med school!
dont we have a problem with lack of doctors and medical officers etc in our nation? seriously, government should really focus in improving medical field in terms of workforce and just train all of these desperate students already
Hello ,I m graduate from algeria medical University, I want know about possibilities to have equivalent diploma in malaysia ,please I m waiting your replay
sis what about international student ihope u will answer my question...........from ethiopia
this applies to everyone who wants to work starting from housemenship in Malaysia
Why some doctor wanted to be doctor because all for dollar and Sen
If I doctor I just do it for free . because I love to save people.
I do agree with you when you said that people should not become a doctor if they want to be rich. However, one thing about medicine is that the fees are really expensive, some parents used up all their savings just to send their child to med school and when they graduate from medschool thinking that they can now support themselves (and their family) but the reality hits cause in reality doctor's salary (before you become specialist) isn't really enough to support the whole family. That is why I always give advice in my video saying that don't go into medicine because of $$.
You mean I will not get my degree after 5 years ?
you will get your degree :) it's just for the housemanship have to wait longer and for further specialising might be harder too.
@@katherinelim6060 thanks again

Hi afinna, it has to depend on the uni that you're aiming to go into, different uni have different requirement.

Whats fees for public university for mbbs in malasiya
it'll be around 200-500k depending the university. It's almost 500k for IMU :) not really sure about public, it will be much lesser than the private ones!
@@katherinelim6060 can u please gather the details nd make separate video on it because I want to go to public university in malasiya.. Please help me
I want to apply for mbbs in Malaysia as a foreigner but I have a query that IELETS is required is it mandatory ??
depends on the university that you're applying to, can check the IELTS requirement online
Plzz tell me how the exam's are conducted for mbbs students in malaysia
we have practical (OSCE) and theory exams (MCQ, SAQ, SEQ etc). For practical we do patient interviews, physical examinations, procedures, basically anything that will be doing in the clinic or hospital as a doctor. While for theory, it is to test your basic medical knowledge.
@@katherinelim6060 is exams conducted weekly or semester wise and one more thing are ur finals conducted at the end of the year..
It depends on each medical school as all have different formats and exams and even the written paper styles are different.
The early birds caught all The worms So Please forget about The glamorous profession Seriously
In my place where I stayed now there is lots of uncredited doctors they know how to help their friends to become so high and wont sleep for 2 or 3 days....damn...I'm joking 😅🤣
Which country are you from 🤣
@@katherinelim6060 haha I was joking the uncredited doctors what I mean is the group of the drug addict who live not far from my house...injecting themselves with a meth....we called them the uncredited doctors
@@katherinelim6060 I'm from Malaysia too...Sarawak
Can I communicate you sister 🙏
Too many medical graduates each year in Malaysia (estimated 8k to 10k per yr, as a results of uncontrolled private medical schools) until not enough permanent post in government hospitals for them, so more than 50% of these young drs will be working on contract based, after the contracts ended, those can't get permanent post will have to work in private sectors or insurance company others etc. Situation will only get worse year by year as long as mass production is still going on. EVEN private sectors also can't absorp too many graduates recently, especially you lack of experience. Yes, you will see many of these medical graduates become jobless or work in non medical fields. Think carefully before you choose now, this golden job is no longer produce gold nowadays
