    Yes I am in England now at the University of Cambridge. Thanks! :D I got quite good marks in my Medical Science degree so I decided to give it a go and see if Cambridge will have me. I also wanted an overseas experience. I applied online, with the support of 3 academic referees. In the...

    I'm not sure about the pay but I would imagine it would be really hard work and youhave to be on call, probably 24 hours. Yes you can get into graduate medicine after 3 years (from any discipline). Almost all graduate medical degrees are 4 yeas in length. This option requires you to sit a...

    Re: Pls read if you're considering pharm (warning: very lengthy) I still need to draw graphs and write essays. These are transferrable skills that will get you through different jobs! Don't get confused between transferrable skills and discipline-specific skills!

    General Thoughts: ESL Paper 2 and listening

    Re: English ESL paper 2 and listening From my understanding of the HSC, if you have special considerations due to illness or personal problem, you will receive an estimated mark for your HSC. You will not be able to sit the HSC exam at a later day so it is perfectly safe for you to discuss...

    Any PIP advice for newbies?

    Pick a range of methdologies that will give you both quantitative and qualitative results. These results must also specifically address your focus question and/or provide evidence to support your hypothesis.

    Multiple choice

    I'd like to see the whole question (Q11) including the graph if anyone has it so I can have a go in confirming it.

    Multiple choice

    Yes, although both A and C are correct, the question is asking for the best procedure to prevent spreading of the disease, and A is the best answer (quarantine and vaccination).
  13. Survivor39

    Multiple choice

    Yes they do vaccinate animals. You can create a vaccine against almost all pathogens, including bacteria (Tuberculosis vaccine for TB), viruses (Hepatitis B vaccine, Mumps, Rubella vaccine - surely you must remember these!) and protozoa (Malaria vaccine).

    Multiple choice

    Refer to my previous response for explanation as to how vaccination prevents spreading of a disease.
  15. Survivor39

    Multiple choice

    Vaccination, like you said, stimulates long term protective immunity against a pathogen. So when this immunised individual do get the pathogen, the immune system will quickly destroy it, therefore, preventing further spreading of this pathogen to other healthy individual. That is why the...

    Start Making a Good PIP!

    I think it's fine as long as you have the right research methodologies to find the answers to your focus question. e.g. How do these dating practices differ between different groups? More importantly, WHY are they different? If you can design your methdologies that will help you address these...

    Multiple choice

    I think the answer to 4 is most lkely to be A. You first seperate the diseased animals in one enclosure, then vaccinate all healthy animals to prevent healthy animals from getting and spreading the disease. "B" isn't the best answer because it's too late to vaccinate diseased animals (no...
