Feedback: Options available for students kicked out of medical school

What are the options available for students that are kicked out from medical schools? Can they be re-admitted back in the same University? and if, their appeals are rejected, can
they still continue to pursue medicine at other medical schools?
Students get kicked out of medical school usually for failing badly at exams and that is usually after given one or more chances repeating. Less commonly it is because of disciplinary reasons. IN either case I think it is very unlikely that they will be re-admitted to the same University. There is nothing to stop students from applying to other medical schools. Who knows, one might succeed eventually?
Do bear in mind there are fields other than medicine which hold promising careers such as pharmacy and biomedical sciences. Medicine is still very competitive despite the fact that there will be an oversupply of doctors in the coming years. I think this is something students should think about when deciding on their careers.

Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek should also have addressed the “maldistribution” of doctors in his speech. There perhaps will be surplus in the future, but surplus where?

would like to share the fates of what happened to my ex-unimates.. some quit due to the stress… and sum did not work after graduation *due to no interest in being a doc in da first place.. you’ll be surprised that there are actually so many of them out there…
one applied to be a teacher and now very happy teaching kids.. one became home manager aka housewife and very happy raising their children by themselves… sum went on to have a diploma/degree in another uni in another course and ended up becoming best student.. *woot*.. and now making more money than a basic HO gaji.
failure does not mean the end… the future has endless possibilities

Apply to one of those schools advertised in the paper, as long as you can pay the fee, you are almost guaranteed to be accepted. They may even accept credit transfer from your U and save some bucks and years of medical schools.
