A Word from The Dean
The medical programme at IMU has an international reputation for excellence and innovation. In collaboration with our Partner Schools across the world, students have the opportunity to train as truly global health practitioners. Medicine is a challenging career path that requires dedication and hard work but offers the reward of knowing that you are using what you learn to help people and communities in their time of most need.

Hear from Our Students and Alumni
I am with IMU since 1994 and at that time it was just a fledgling university amongst the other bigger universities in the country. It started as a little seed in the minds of its founders- Tan Sri Dr Kamal Salih, Dr Mei Ling Young, Dr Saidi Hashim and Prof Ong Kok Hai. Together they roped in two leading medical educationists -Professor Ian Hart and Professor Ron Harden and a STAR was born. Together with our partner schools, we built a one of its kind medical university in Malaysia.

Senior Lecturer and Head of Department
To my surprise, I felt a sense of relief and satisfaction when the MJVC committee announced me as the winner of the best oral presentation award for the Health and Medicine track. I extend my deepest gratitude to my main research supervisor, Dr Wong Siew Tung for being a patient and supportive mentor who assisted me in data interpretation of the project, provided presentation tips during mock presentations, introduced me to basic laboratory skills at IMU research laboratory prior to conducting my final year research project and always present to offer encouragement and mental support whenever I needed it.

IMU introduces its medical degree that upholds its holistic approach and has garnered a lot of attention from students globally. As a medical student from one of the top medical schools in Malaysia, I am very proud to be accepted in this university that provides a curriculum which trains students to apply critical knowledge, thus preparing us to be holistic and competent doctors in the future.

The curriculum emphasises on clinical exposure even during the early pre-Clinical phase of training, which eases the integration of pre-clinical students into their clinical phase of training via hospital visits, exposure rotations in various departments and simulated clinical learning. Finally, IMU provides various avenues for students to strive to be better versions of themselves via clubs, societies, conferences, competitions and networking opportunities which further enriched my student experience.
