Medical Science at Macquarie? (1 Viewer)

[DMOS]

Is Macquarie a good place to study medical science?
I am thinking of doing the undergrad course and then do a post grad medicine course elsewhere or become a forensic scientist.

 

[blackrider89]

No.

 

[DMOS]

whats bad about it?

 

[ninee]

I did it its good. Best thing is when you go to get a job everyone else in the course is still trying to get into medicine so theres not much competition.

I know a few people who have transferred from Sydney Uni to Macquarie due to 'competition' in Sydney Uni.

This may want you to go to Macquarie:

Introduction : Macquarie University Hospital

New Hospital which students will be a part of.

P.S Those students who did transfer are happy at Macq.

It isn't that clear how the students will be 'part of' the hospital though..is it?

 

[salehhbk121415]

You would think the opportunity is there.

 

[DMOS]

Is physics an assumed knowledge for Medical science?

 

[salehhbk121415]

You would assume that and chemistry is. Yes.

 

[DMOS]

doesn't it depend on which stream I go into because I want to go into biomedical.

New Hospital which students will be a part of.

Yeah? Please, tell us how.

 

[Jennt]

Yeah? Please, tell us how.

Clinical anatomy classes will be run in the new wet labs at the hospital. They currently run them at USYD because there was no facility at Maq...

How are you sure about that? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm just curious because the last I heard was that various departments were hoping for more lab space, not that it was certain.

I did 2nd year anatomy (all done at USYD) in 2nd semester last year and know a bunch of the people doing 3rd year this semester (still at USYD). They have been told that it's running in the new wet lab at Macq next semester and that there's already cadavers organized (sorry if you're easily grossed out, but clinical anatomy does involve observation of REAL anatomy, not just pictures or plastic models).

 

[dolbinau]

Well that's something, I guess.

"Something Good" or "Something Bad"?

"Something Good" or "Something Bad"?

I don't know...but "Something's Coming".
