Consultant Talks: How to choose right country for overseas MBBS degree
MBBS is one of most prestigious and sought after education courses
for youngsters around the world. And it derives it’s abbreviation
from Latin language which stands for Medicinae Baccalaureus,
Baccalaureus Chirurgiae i.e. Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of
Surgery in English. The criticality of this famed job and related
social importance of medical professionals has made it one of the
most sought after degrees around the world. And considering how
difficult it is to secure a MBBS seat in India, it becomes all the
more sensible to pursue the degree abroad. This is the primary reason
why many Asian and Baltic nations have become preferred destinations
for Indian students. However it is very important to find the right
destination country for the course. There are plethora of countries
which welcome international students with open arms but not all have
the degrees which are recognised or accepted by government of India.
So let’s understand some of the factors which are very important
while shortlisting a country to pursue medical education.
Firstly, one needs to check whether college or university of that
country is accepted by Medical Council of India (MCI) or not. MCI has
approved medical colleges from many countries like Russia, Poland,
Philippines, USA, Kyrgyzstan, China, Ukraine etc. This is one of the
most fundamental factors which need to be considered. Upon
successful completion of degrees from these countries, MCI conducts a
test for the graduates and having cleared the test, they can start
practising in India. It’s important to note that degree holders
from non recognised colleges will not be allowed to practice in
India. Secondly, quality of education and infrastructure should also
be approved by other international bodies like WHO, IMED, European
Union etc. This works like additional filter while selecting the
country as well as college and ensures that student won’t face
difficulty in securing employment after the degree. Thirdly, popular
education or lifestyle destinations aren’t always the best choice
for MBBS degree. For example, generally US , UK or Germany are great
options for pursuing higher education abroad but they aren’t the
smartest choices when it comes to pursuing MBBS. Because they have
very stringent criterion for international students and they cost
many many times more than any other Asian country. Average cost of
doing a medical degree in these countries can be anywhere between 5
to 10 crores, which is a lot of money and recovering that would also
be extremely difficult. And last factor to be considered would be
about course curriculum and technological infrastructure provided by
the country. Quality of healthcare in a country is an ideal indicator
of corresponding medical education system too. This factor will be
extremely helpful in identifying the right country and college to
pursue the medical degree.
