| SchoolI just finished high school and want to go to school to become a dentist. I have heard that the Malaysia school of dentistry is a really good school. If anyone has information on the school please let me know, or let me know where to go to find out the information. |
| Try finding schools specializing in dentistry, There's many school in Asia for that. |
| Hi Miss Anna Warren. where are you from and why study at Malaysia when you can study at a local college near you? Is the quality of college education in your country is not as good as Asian countries? |
| If you just graduated you should have already been looking into these schools. If you have decided to wait you could still find a good school buy looking it up on the internet and finding what different schools have to offer, or you could contact your guidence counselor from your high school and get his/her opinon. |
| Anna, before you go and get information on this school, I think you should make sure thats the school you want to go to. I am sure that it is a good dentist school, but make sure its the one you want to go to, and also good luck on your school looking journey. |
| I have to agree, you don't have to believe everything based on hearsay. Try going to your local government department such as maybe the Department of Education (or whatever it is called at your country) and ask for the most consistent and acclaimed Dentist school in your country. It would greatly help you financially instead of going out of the country and spending much on both lodging, transportation and tuition. Money is really elusive these days especially during these hard times of recession. |
| By the way Miss Anna warren, what country or state do you like in and you don't trust the education system of the local community? |
| Leah shouldn't she get information on the school to find out if she wants to go there? |
| What is your homeland and are you used to traveling and being an exchange student? Why don't you just look into your local community first? I think you should also consider saving up rather than just leisure and going to expensive type of colleges. |
| Sometimes there are just a few institution who trains and teach some professional specialties. Non of the local-based school and universities offer. So it's not just about getting the leisure but fulfilling what one wants. It's like following your dreams |
| Even going at the very prestigious schools and institution won't guarantee success in your professional path. Success still relies on thing that you do and you can potentially do. |
| I couldn't agree any better with what Naid said. It all depends on how a student applies the knowledge and wisdom he learned from schooling and apply it with his profession. It is confidence and initiative which will help a graduate (regardless of how prestigious or unknown his school/college is) succeed in his chosen profession or path. |
| Hey are we suppose to help Anna here? It is best if we combine initiative, guts as well as the degree we earn in our Alma matter. Anna why don't you consider studying in your own country, aside from not leaving your family, you will not have to experience culture shock which is i bet a little hard to cope up to... |
| Let's just go back to what she really is asking about; the best school of dentistry nearest to her. Here's a list that I've found googling. All are recognized by the Malaysian Dental Council. UMMC UM’s School of Dentistry UKM Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia School of Dentistry USM Universiti Sains Malaysia School of Dentistry AIMST Asian Institute of Medicine, Science and Technology School of Dentistry PIDC Penang International Dental College IIUM Newly set up Kulliyah of Dentistry, IIUM Kuantan UTM Univerisiti Teknologi Mara Dental Faculty USIM Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia Dental Faculty Just try to research each if which one is the best for you. |
| Well, I guess that answered your question. Dentistry is a noble profession just like doctors and teachers, it is just saddening to know that there are a few scoundrels out there who deceive people by calling themselves as Dentists when they are not legally and officially one. The usual result is the endangerment of the lives of the patients and the poor quality of the dentist services availed. So watched out and research, that Dentist might be a fake. |
| I agree with Daniela Kraig. The posted license of the dentists in their clinics might sometimes be fake. So it is not the thing to prove they are licensed dentist. To be sure search for licensed clinics with licensed dentist (with no filed law suit against them) before making any appointment. That is the best thing to do. |
| I agree with Adam and Daniela Kraig. Sometimes those people claims that they are health care professionals and perform procedures to you without you knowing the trouble you might be dealing with after the said medical procedure. I suggest that before you make an appointment with a medical professional, in this case a dentist, try to know if he is licensed by inquiring in your local health department. Actually there are simple ways to distinguish fake dentist, if their fees are too low than normal and their clinics are stinky..then they are fake. |
| I agree with Kitkat. sometimes by mere observation we can determine if we are dealing with professionals health care provider or a professional fraud swindler. If you want to be sure, check first the validity or the truth behind the license of the dentist or any medical practitioner your having an appointment with. Try consulting the official website of your country's Health Department or licensing department. I believe that it is better to be sure than sorry. |
| Everyone in this forum is really being helpful to Anna. My question to her is where she lives. To decide to study dentistry must have taken you a whole deal of time. Now that you have settled your mind on it, do not restrict yourself to hearsay, unless of course you have sought advice from a professional. Consult widely and make sure you settle on what college works best for you. Congrats for choosing such a noble profession |
| How can you be a dentist: In England, the 1878 British Dentists Act and 1879 Dentists Register limited the title of "dentist" and "dental surgeon" to qualified and registered practitioners. The practice of dentistry in the United Kingdom became fully regulated with the 1921 Dentists Act, which required the registration of anyone practicing dentistry. The British Dental Association, formed in 1880 with Sir John Tomes as president, played a major role in prosecuting dentists practicing illegally. A dentist is a healthcare professional qualified to practice dentistry after graduating with a degree of either Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD), Bachelor of Dentistry (BDent), Bachelor of Dental Science (BDSc), or Bachelor of Dental Surgery/Chirurgiae (BDS) or (BChD) or equivalent.[citation needed] In most western countries, to become a qualified dentist one must usually complete at least 4 years of postgraduate study[citation needed]; within the European Union the education has to be at least 5 years. Dentists usually complete between 5–8 years of post secondary education before practicing. Though not mandatory, many dentists choose to complete an internship or residency focusing on specific aspects of dental care after they have received their dental degree. |
| It is important that you also note the entry requirements to qualify for Dentistry in Malaysia. In most cases, you need to sit for an internal exam before proceeding to your choice of study. I recently talked to a dentist friend of mine in Kenya and she told me that you will still study some medicine and surgery courses before specializing in studying dentistry. Try loooking at this site |
| Anna, you should first find out if Malaysia accepts your High School Graduation Certificate to enter University there. What happened to me is that I graduated High School in Canada, and German Universities didn't accept this. I had to do 1 extra year of college in order to enter University. Some countries consider their High School level superior to other countries, so an extra year of study is needed to qualify. |
| Yeah, Natascha has a point there. The point actually is, there are different school curriculum in different countries. So if you are to study abroad, it is best to know first their course or high school curriculum, and then plan on whether to took up college in that certain country or just study for another year or two to qualify in their universities there. But it is a good idea to study overseas. |
| Anna never returned to sample the comments. Could she have made the dig leap already? Who has more information on the course curriculum for dentistry? How much doesit cost in Malaysia? Which is best, private practice or its equivalent? |
| I got here a list of credited schools (I hope) of dentistry in Malaysia from the net: Dental Schools in Malaysia UMMC UM’s School of Dentistry UKM Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia School of Dentistry USM Universiti Sains Malaysia School of Dentistry AIMST AIMST University School of Dentistry PIDC Penang International Dental College IIUM Newly set up Kulliyah of Dentistry, IIUM Kuantan UTM Univerisiti Teknologi Mara Dental Faculty USIM Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia Dental Faculty |
