Our course allows you to start your medical studies from day one and equips you with the knowledge, skills and attributes to begin your career as a medical practitioner.

We deliver a world-class education by drawing on Monashs world-leading expertise in medical practice and research, and the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences' particular strengths in the cardiometabolic field, infection and immunity, global public health and neuroscience.

With a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to medical training, this course is equivalent to that offered at Monashs Australia campus. The selection criteria, learning objectives and assessments are identical.

The Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (BMedSci/MD) is a truly international degree that comes with the opportunity to study at one of the world's top medical schools and graduate with a qualification to practise medicine in Malaysia, Australia and Sri Lanka. Many of our graduates have gone on to practise in Australia.

Where youll be

Your first two years are spent at our Sunway campus 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 career of a doctor involves further training beyond the medical degree. In Malaysia, on completion of the medical course, you'll need to apply to the Ministry of Health Malaysia to undertake your housemanship in a public hospital. After completing your housemanship, you 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.
