PETALING JAYA: The exodus of medical lecturers from public universities is biting deep, with Universiti Sains Malaysia losing 38 lecturers in the last six months. Universiti Malaya lost 21 clinical lecturers last year.

Most of them are attracted by the better salaries and less workload in private medical schools and hospitals.
