It is anticipated that the first trainees will be in neurosurgery and spinal surgery. Other surgical specialties will follow.This is the first agreement in principle that UKM has signed with an Australian university to provide specialty training. Doctors from the Australian School of Advanced Medicine will also visit UKM and assist with curriculum development, research collaboration and teach post-graduate surgery. Dean of the Australian School of Advanced Medicine Professor Michael Morgan has had a relationship with Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia for 11 years both surgically and with neurosurgical training.“This Letter of Intent is particularly gratifying to me as I have been working with the excellent surgeons at UKM for a long time,” he said.“We anticipate that we will soon sign a formal Memorandum of Understanding which will enable our school to provide supplementary training that adds value to the superb base that UKM is well known for. They will undergo a final year of training at Dalcross Private Hospital or the new Macquarie University Private University Hospital when it is opened to gain specialty degrees.”The Australian School of Advanced Medicine at Macquarie is the first medical school in the world to offer formal recognition of sub-specialty training. It is based on the Mayo Clinic philosophy of integrated clinical care, teaching and research and will be co-located with the most modern health care facility in Australia.
There are currently 19,166 Malaysian students studying in Australia. About 1206 of these are medical students. For more information on the Australian School of Advanced Medicine visit www.medicine.mq.edu.au/
