Bond Bond Medicine: General Discussion

LMG! said:
I’m assuming you’ve seen a doctor before (GP at a minimum). Did you ask that doctor which university they graduated from and make your decision to see them based on this? This is a genuine question, because maybe you would ask/care about this, but personally it’s not something that has ever even fleetingly crossed my mind. I’ve also never seen that practice you quoted of signing/displaying you name with your university included in the title despite working in a hospital for almost a decade. Is that seriously a common practice in some areas?

Personally it was never a consideration of mine. I am from Sydney and given the crowded GP market, a lot of local graduates are doing this to differentiate themselves.
 
I got an offer for May yesterday- had like 3 missed calls and a text I didn't bother opening from bond because the words that popped up were "congratulations on your recent offer"- which I presumed was Biomed and I was thinking I might decline it and do law/economics. My mum got a call today from the same guy luckily but even the email eluded me because it was in my junk mail. I had honestly totally forgotten about medicine and was gearing towards heading into politics but this has certainly shaken things up a little.
 
oml I got a call from southport yesterday too and didn't pick up thinking it was spam!! just called them back lol after seeing your post. lol same, my offer was within my email 'promotions' not inbox.

Has anyone from the september intake had their application status changed from acceptance incomplete to acceptance processing yet?

Apparently they won't change the status until they get AMCs decision

Edit: just got a confirmation email for accepting the offer

Conditional September offer. If not approving by AMC, convert to next year MAY offer
Click to expand...
I have wondered why AMC is involved in this. AMC's jurisdiction is on the content/delivery of the med course, not directly the number of students in the school's intake(s). Unless that relates to the school's clinical placement capacity thus content/delivery of the course.

So my question: how will the Sept students make up for the "missing" May trimester, does it get squeezed into the remaining 13 trimesters or will they graduate 3-4 months later than the May-intake students? If the latter won't they miss the January intern intake of that year?

Same as May intake as 14 terms

You mean same as in Sept intake doing full 14 terms?
If so, the May-2020 intake will complete their course by Nov/Dec 2024 and can join the 2025 intern intake in January. Whereas the Sept 2020 intake will complete in March/April 2025 and have to wait for the 2026 intern intake?

Good opportunity to do a 6-month around the world trip to celebrate graduating ;)
