Who are we?

MedEntry UMAT Preparation is an organisation committed to helping students enter health science courses such as medicine, dentistry, physiotherapy and pharmacy. We are a team of academics, doctors, health science students and professionals with experience and expertise in test development, measurement and analysis. We have used our collective knowledge of entrance procedures (such as the UMAT and interviews) and the health profession to create a comprehensive program. This program has been remarkably successful in helping students achieve their goals.

Why choose us?

MedEntry UMAT Prep is an initiative which was made possible as a result of generous support from The Foundation for Young Australians.
We have been given a grant by The Foundation to enable us to offer our program. The aim is to enhance youth participation and create opportunities for the development of young people. Specifically the venture aims to help Australian youth keen to pursue a career in the health sciences, especially those who are traditionally under-represented.

The UMAT/interview workshops are run by Dr Edward Boyapati, an academic with over thirty years of experience teaching in Australian universities. He has published several articles on educational research and has delivered numerous papers/keynote addresses at several International Teaching and Learning Conferences. He has received numerous awards for excellence in teaching. Dr Boyapati has been training students for tests such as the UMAT for over two decades. Among his successful students include his own children, both of whom were offered places in all medical schools and held Scholarships for Excellence to study Medicine, which are awarded to the best incoming student each year.

Our Practice Exams are considered the best by far among UMAT preparation courses. This is because they are comprehensively and meticulously researched and written by experts with a thorough knowledge of the real UMAT (see item under News). They are updated regularly to reflect changes that occur in UMAT. Our resource materials include thousands of questions for you to practice on. Unlike other UMAT preparation courses, all of MedEntry's questions come with fully worked solutions.

Our approach is holistic. We realise that entering health science courses is not simply a matter of sitting the UMAT. We are with you every step of the way. MedEntry UMAT Prep "imparts the learning skills that students take with them for life" and "provide[s] focused, quality preparation". Our "training is geared towards making you a better person, with better reasoning and problem-solving skills, and emotional intelligence" (from FOCUS, the Australian Doctor magazine, April 2005, p23).

Our success rate is outstanding.
