This truly international degree gives you the chance to study at one of the world’s top medical schools and graduate with a qualification to practise medicine in Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand. Offered over five years at Sunway, this interdisciplinary course provides world-class training in biomedical sciences, social sciences and clinical skills.
As testimony to the course’s quality, Sunway graduate Shaun Yo was Monash’s top medical student in 2011, when he won the Sophie Davis Memorial Prize for having the highest overall aggregate marks.
The course draws on Monash’s world-leading expertise in medical practice and research, which includes treating premature babies at risk of brain disease, replacing heart valves without open-heart surgery and developing new cancer drugs. It also draws on the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences’ particular strengths in the cardio-metabolic field, infection and immunity, global public health and neuroscience.
Our JCSMHS researchers have discovered new genes and hormones that show promise as targeting proteins for cancer research. They have also patented discoveries likely to lead to new products for treating infectious and cardiovascular diseases.
The JCSMHS is also home to the renowned Brain Research Institute at Monash Sunway, now collaborating with the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) to provide a platform for neuroscientists in the region through seminars and training programs.
The medical curriculum incorporates four themes:
Areas of study include:
The course takes five years of full-time study to complete.
Your first two years are spent at the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences (JCSDMHS), where you quickly develop your clinical skills with contact visits to medical practices, community-care facilities and hospitals, and spend two weeks as a healthcare team member in a rural area.
In years three to five, you’re based at the Clinical School in Johor Bahru, where your clinical studies centre around the Sultanah Aminah Hospital.
Your busy schedule of clinical rotations in year five, ahead of graduation, includes a placement in an Australian hospital.
The Monash University Handbook has detailed information about the structure and requirements for the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS).
The career of a doctor involves further training beyond the medical degree. In Malaysia, on completion of the medical course, students need to apply to the Ministry of Health Malaysia to undertake their housemanship in a public hospital. After completing their housemanship, they must complete three years of compulsory service in hospitals and clinics under the Ministry of Health Malaysia.
To be conferred with a specialist degree in surgery, obstetrics, paediatrics, psychiatry or other area, you must undertake further study to obtain a Master of Medicine.
More information on career pathways with the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery is available from the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
