The Faculty of Medicine, Bioscience, and Nursing is the largest faculty in the University and underpins the MAHSA identity as a premier institute for health care training.
The 3 schools embody the synergy of medical, nursing, and laboratory support care that is required in everyone’s journey of health and wellness.
All three schools provide training and qualifications at all levels, undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral.
We take pride in the strong academic and research backgrounds of our staff, our state of the art training facilities and partnerships with premier government and private institutions that serve as training grounds for our graduates.
Our courses are all accredited and also have regional and international recognition that allows us to benchmark ourselves in the constant pursuit of excellence in training.
Our graduates now work in Malaysia, as well as all over the world, and are a testimony to the MAHSA’s core values and BE MORE motto.
The path towards becoming a doctor is long and challenging but one that sees no shortage of takers. It is a selfless calling, dedicated to the service of others and yet, is one of the most personally fulfilling career options to embark on.
To take up medicine, you need good grades coupled with total commitment to stay on the course. Hence, it is important that the decision to be a doctor is yours, not your parents’ or anyone else’s.
The IMU Medical programme focuses on Medical Sciences for the first 2.5 years. Students then proceed to undertake Clinical Training either at IMU’s Clinical Campuses in the southern part of Malaysia or at a Partner Medical School (PMS) overseas.
IMU’s curriculum emphasizes the clinical application of basic science from an early stage. IMU is the first to incorporate the USMLE Step 1 Preparatory Course into the IMU medical curriculum across Semesters 1 to 5. This is to allow IMU medical graduates to begin early preparation to sit for the USMLE Step 1 examination that opens the door towards United States residency opportunities.
Overseas Clinical Electives
Students will have the opportunity of doing their clinical electives in selected hospitals in the USA in order to enhance their learning experience in different healthcare systems.
*August 2020 intake has been postponed to 14 September 2020.

Once we have considered your application and you are pre-selected, you will receive a letter of invitation to attend an interview.
Interviews will take place from January onwards each year for the following September entry.
The interview, conducted by two trained selectors, will last approximately 30 minutes.
The interview format is designed to confirm whether you have the aptitude, motivation, and personal qualities to succeed as a medical student at IMU Malaysia, and as a potential doctor of the future.
At the interview you will be assessed and graded under the following main categories:
Selectors will expect you to show some insight into your personal attributes, the learning that has resulted from your previous experiences, and an understanding of the relevance of these factors to a career in medicine.
Within one week of your interview, you will receive a letter of outcome. This will inform you if you have been successful in obtaining a place to study medicine at IMU Malaysia.
As an assurance of a total commitment towards quality education in medicine, the IMU maintains its relationship with many partner universities in Australia, Ireland, United States, and the United Kingdom. The list of partner universities is subject to change.
