Study in Australia - be a Medical Scientist

Medical Scientists are in great demand in Australia like in every other developed country. Medicine has been a major attractive discipline for many years among students and parents especially in our part of the world. Unless one qualifies to be a surgeon the general medical practitioners today are called upon to treat people after they fall sick. Even among the surgeons - the more ambitious plastic surgeons are treating people to erase off ugliness and become more beautiful when they are ageing.

The trend that is emerging in the world is for people not to get old any more. They do not want to die soon. They do not want to get any sickness and want preventive medicines for all known sicknesses or quick remedies if they get a sickness. This is what medical laboratory scientists do.

They are constantly looking for drugs for immediate cure of all illnesses, and drugs for anti ageing, anti wrinkling etc. There is so much money being invested by drug companies for medical research mostly to develop "wonder drugs".

Governments are also dedicating vast amounts of money for research to find preventive medicines or those that could cure sicknesses without prolonged treatments. Medical Scientists all over the world are comparing notes on research on a regular basis to achieve teamwork as there are lucrative incentives attached to success. At a time when unheard of sicknesses crop up due to nature as well as man made catastrophes ever so regularly the demand for medical scientists keeps on rising.

The world's leading medical drug companies too are luring capable and dedicated medical scientists to join their workforce not only offering very attractive salary packages but are also offering those with success, a percentage of income from sale of such wonder drugs as part of patent/ intellectual property rights. So if one wants a satisfying job with excellent returns in the field of medicine this is food for thought.

For school leavers from Sri Lanka the University of South Australia in Adelaide represented by Edlocate is offering an accredited bachelor degree which gives them ability to join the workforce on completion of the degree without a written examination.

There are excellent bachelor degree courses offered by all the other 15 Australian universities represented by Edlocate in medical sciences, and those who wish to be recognised as a professional Medical Laboratory scientist needs to sit a written professional examination conducted by the Australian Institute of Medical Scientists (AIMS)

This is also an ideal pathway even for those with a bachelor degree in medicine -especially without the required examination success to do internship or awaiting long periods for internship; or even those qualified to practise medicine but not quite contented with their choice. There are excellent postgraduate courses offered at universities in Australia to enter the profession of a Medical Scientist and join the workforce. Thereafter if you still want to enter the medical profession you could seek to qualify at your own pace.
