TALKING ABOUT MEDICAL UNIVERSITIES...

TALKING ABOUT MEDICAL UNIVERSITIES……….

Medical Universities are fun places to be …. Why ? Well, let’s see:

 

1. 1  You get to become a doctor and help save people’s life.

2. 2     You get to know the intricacies of human body

3. 3     You make your parents proud, because now they can say that their son or daughter is a doctor. A name that bears respect, pride, honor and most importantly responsibility.

 

 

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF GROWING UP AND BEING AN ADULT.

 

 

Ok, so jokes apart, the topic for today’s post will be about the medical universities (schools) of Ukraine and how they are like. Which ones to choose from and why.

 

But even before that, how about getting to know a little bit about how much a doctor earns in different countries? Sounds like a good motivation?

Well, how does it look like ? Tempting eh :D

Ok, coming back to the point….

 

Medical University courses in Ukraine are for 6 years. Period.

•  Upon completion of the degree, you shall be awarded MD (Doctor of Medicine) degree, which has already been validated in your country India, by the MCI eligibility letter that you will apply for during your admission process.

•   MCI (Medical Council of India) requires every Indian student to take a screening test irrespective of the country they have graduated from a medical university to obtain a provisional medical registration to pursue a year long internship in any recognized government medical college and hospital, upon whose successful completion you shall be awarded with permanent registration to practice. 

• You can either opt for AIPGME (All India Post Graduate Medical Entrance Examination) after that or continue with USMLE, PLAB and other forms of international exams if you would like to settle abroad. 

 

Over the course of 6 years, you shall have a complete and in depth knowledge about Pre-clinical, Para-clinical and Clinical subjects, which you would require in your practice in the later days. You shall be rigorously trained in real clinical situations to deal with medical emergencies and treat patients like you would come across in your own practice.

 

Make no mistake !!! life as a medical student is NOT EASY. !!!! YOU HAVE TO BE STUDIOUS. YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD. YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOURSELF MOTIVATED. YOU WILL BE TESTED, TRIED AND MENTORED AS HARD AND STRICTLY AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE  “ YOU ARE FUTURE DOCTORS”. 

 

In the next post, we shall talk about The distinct advantages an Indian student shall have above all others while studying and after completion of his studies in Ukraine, What is required from you as a student, What to expect from Ukrainian Education, An introduction to the admission process.... and a list of the best medical schools in Ukraine... 

As always, here comes a video of my choice to keep ya'll from yawning :D
