Hello. I am studying clinical pharmacy at Cairo university. It's not what I like to study and I was wondering if it's possible to apply to graduate medicine after I gain my 5-year clinical pharmacy degree. What are the programs? Is it possible to study something similar to mbbs that would qualify me to work as a surgeon? thanks in advance.

There are a few grad entry programs around Australia. Have a look at our guides here on MSO for all the requirements for the different universities :)

First check whether your degree from Cairo is recognized in where you want to study. Health industry is heavily regulated. Once you can qualify as a pharmacist, you could then perhaps apply if not do a Master and then apply to medicine.

Wouldn't Cairo university be recognized in Australian universities?
Any idea how many years of study are the graduate medicine programs? Do i qualify as an MD after I am done with it? Thanks for the help.

I have no idea whether it is recognized. Since it's a foreign university to Australia, you should get a direct answer from the university you want to apply to. Graduate Medicine is 4 years. Doesn't matter whether it is MD MBBS MB CHB. Once degree is completed. You're a Medical Doctor.
