[UMelb] Doctor of Medicine selection requirements for 2011
Jenny_2108:
Is there any advantages to get into doctor of med by studying biomed over science undergrad?
I heard people said that most of students studying biomed will have higher chances than science ones
But to get high marks in biomed undergrad is harder than science course right?

In order;
No.
People may be confused because more biomed students get in, but that's probably because more biomed students want to do the MD.
Arguably, it's kind of hard to compare. Some parts may be harder, others may be easier.
Jenny_2108:
biomed and science, which course do you think better for preparation med postgrad?
I just don't understand why they have biomed course while we still can choose the same subjects in science course

theres no selection advantage with biomed vs science. but because more biomed kids WANT to do med, and also the biomed cohort's clearly in atar is much higher than science's clearly in, then any randomly selected biomed kid is more likely to get into med than any randomly selected science kid. but again, there is no selection preference given
Russ:
I think that biomedicine is better preparation, but that's not to say science is not good preparation. Both are obviously completely adequate, I just felt that biomedicine offered a few things I wouldn't have got through science.
You can't choose the biomed exclusive subjects in science, you'll have to do similar ones.
