Welcome

Congratulations on deciding on a career in medicine. Your choice will provide you with enormous fulfilment and satisfaction throughout your professional life.

Choosing your medical school is as important as choosing your career.

The undergraduate curriculum at Penang Medical College (PMC) is a joint programme between Dublin and Penang.  You do your pre-clinical training at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) or at University College Dublin (UCD) and you return to Penang for your clinical training at PMC and at hospitals and clinics in Penang and surrounding States.

You have the advantage of combining a rigorous overseas education with practical clinical training in Malaysia.  In effect, you get the best of both worlds.

Your medical degree from the National University of Ireland (MB BCh BAO) is exactly the same degree as conferred on graduates in Ireland and confers the same rights and privileges.  It is recognized in Malaysia, in Ireland and in many other countries for employment and for post-graduate training and practice.
