We have best product to study medicine: Dr.Munasinghe-Pathe Academy

University Foundation Diploma in Pre Medicine at the PATHE Academy is an optimum foundation programme which has been designed for the students who have obtained inadequate GCE AL results and also for those who have achieved required results but would like to enhance their knowledge with the intention of continuing medical studies at a medical school of a foreign university.

These Pre medical programmes are being conducted at the PATHE Academy Campus at Wellwatte by the PATHE Academy with varying course durations from 8 months to 3 years. The curriculums of the courses are designed and approved by universities in Belarus, Russia, Malaysia and Philippines.

Each prospective student will be interviewed by our specialist counsellors at “PATHEway to Study medicine department” and individually prepared foundation programme platforms will be offered according to the educational grades, country, and other requirements.

The students who have already acquired sufficient A/L grades will be routed through a 8 months foundation programme which will commence in January 2015 and guaranteed admission provided at Medical Universities in Belarus, Russia, Malaysia and Latvia in September 2015.

The students who do not possess required SLMC educational grades in A/ L will be routed through a 2 year double certification programme which will be conducted concurrently as integrated programmes and after successful completion the student will be awarded the Diploma in Pre Medicine as well as the Psychology Degree.

This Psychology Degree will be eligible to obtain 2 years exemptions from the Philippines Medical Universities enabling students to complete the medical Degree in 4 year study period.

We are proud to state that this is the best product available in Sri Lankan market today. This is clearly a risk free platform for those prospective medical students who are planning to re-sit for the AL this year. The 2 year Pre Med integrated psychology programme is scheduled to start in January 2015 and finish in 2 years conducted fully at PATHE, Wellawatte campus (www.patheacademy.org) . Successful students will be awarded with the Pre med certificate and the Degree in Psychology (UGC recognized) in Sri Lanka. Within this programme students will have ample options. During the study period of the pre medical at PATHE Academy students could transfer to related Degree programmes in Malaysia, Philippines, Russia and Belarus. The students could graduate as psychologists and have their own time in deciding on the Medical programme. Either they could take a break and work as psychologists or in any other related fields for some time before commencing the medical degree programme.

Students could commence their medical degree abroad and simultaneously start part time work as psychologists or in other related fields. This will enhance the student’s financial position while they studies abroad. PATHE academy has special arrangements with the industry through the international office of the Philippines Universities on finding part- time job placements for Psychology graduates.

A pre med student could also decide not to pursue medicine after receiving the Psychology degree. They could work or either apply for migration as there are high points calculated for Psychology Degrees in migration applications. Another benefit for the students who enroll for the PATHE pre med is that the students will start going through funda- mentals of medical education with access to degree level education. It is a fact that there are local as well foreign medical students’ a large number of drop outs every year. Though medicine is pursued by most due to the imperial grandness of the profession, during the course of education a number of students understand that it is not the correct profession for them. There have been instances where students with high AL marks had to drop medical studies in the 1st or 2nd years due to the high training standards a medical student has to maintain in recognized medical schools.

The dropouts from medical schools can be attributed to the factors such as home sick, phobia for blood, inability to get adapted to the foreign university environment, etc. However while following the PATHE Academy 2 year pre med platform programme in Sri Lanka , the prospective medical student will be highly convinced and focused in what he or she wants to achieve.

Sending a child abroad for medical studies abroad is definitely a costly affire for the parents. The Pre Med programme of PATHE Academy will be an immense help to the child to arrive at the correct judgment in choosing his or her future career profession.

Hence, by enrolling child to the pre med course, the parents of dropouts of foreign medical colleges will be able to save huge amounts of money which they would have to spend unnecessarily if the child is sent to a foreign Medical school from the beginning of the medical studies.
