Are you considering a career in medicine? Malaysian Medical Council member and Malaysian Medical Association past president DATUK DR LEE YAN SAN offers some useful pointers.

The issue of recognition of medical schools by the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) has also been raised. Evidently, the medical programme is still a much sought-after course of study. Here, I would like to offer my personal view of what students should consider before they select medicine as their choice career.
