Eriny:
Those section two questions seem more like a language ability and interpretation test than an "empathy" one. I got them all right and I'm definitely not doctor material (I get sick when people just talk about arteries, listening to someone sniff/sneeze/cough makes my eyes start to water and I fainted when we were watching a video about hepititis C in year 7, lol).
Just thinking, there is a shortage of rural doctors yet lots of perfectly capable applicants are turned down for medicine. Couldn't there be an admission program for people who could potentially be good doctors but who didn't get the marks to become med students on condition that they agree to work in rural communities for at least 3 years prior to graduation or something?

There is a scheme exactly like that, in fact several
Bonded med places ensure students work in a designated area of need equal to the number of years of their course
Medical rural bonded scholarships (MRBS) allocate $23,000 a year to students who agree to work in rural area for 6 years after their course
Almost all unis have rural entry schemes or admission lists
Monash and melbourne have an extended rural cohort scheme in which students undertake 5 of their 6 clinical semesters in a rural area
Eriny:
lol, that's good then. It's ridiculous how some rural areas have a shortage of doctors/dentists/mental health professionals/etc., I'm glad that unis are doing something about it.

A question....
I have been considering Pharmacy at Monash as a course but because 58% of people who took the UMAT beat me, I'm considering Engineering....
but what if....
-I get an ENTER of 95+
-Get the required study scores in my subjects
-Have applied for SEAS (special consideration) in two catergories....
even though i have a crap umat score, would the university offer me a place?
