Dreaming of a career in medicine?
Studying MBBS abroad truly opens a world of possibilities. It provides quality education, diverse clinical exposure, and often proves more affordable than in many home countries. Indeed, many Indian students choose to pursue medical degrees overseas. They do this due to fierce competition for limited seats and high fees at domestic institutions. Moreover, choosing to study medicine internationally not only provides academic growth, but also fosters personal development and global understanding.
ATSOL VISA guides aspiring medical students through the intricate process of studying MBBS abroad. The team helps you find the right university in the right country. Consequently, they ensure your journey from application to graduation is smooth and stress-free.
Why study MBBS abroad?
Choosing to study MBBS abroad offers distinct advantages. These include:
- Affordable Education: Tuition fees in countries like Russia, Kazakhstan, and Vietnam are notably lower than in many Western countries and even private colleges in India. For instance, total MBBS fees in Kazakhstan range from INR 25 lakhs to 33 lakhs for 6 years. This cost covers tuition, hostel, and other expenses. In addition, several universities and external agencies offer scholarships and financial aid to international students.
- Globally Recognized Degrees: Furthermore, medical degrees from accredited foreign universities receive recognition from international bodies like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Medical Commission (NMC). This recognition allows graduates to appear for licensing exams in various countries. These countries include India (FMGE/NExT), the USA (USMLE), and the UK (PLAB).
- Exposure to Diverse Medical Practices: Studying medicine in a different country, moreover, exposes you to varied healthcare systems. You learn about diseases prevalent in those regions, and advanced medical technologies. This process broadens your medical perspective and enhances your clinical knowledge significantly.
- English Medium Programs: Many top medical universities abroad offer MBBS programs entirely in English. This makes them accessible to international students without a language barrier. Nonetheless, you can learn the local language during your studies. This proves beneficial for interacting with local patients during clinical training.
- Simplified Admission Process: Compared to some domestic admission procedures, applying for MBBS abroad is often more straightforward. It typically involves fulfilling basic academic eligibility and qualifying for the NEET exam (for Indian students).
- Enhanced Career Prospects: Ultimately, a globally recognized MBBS degree opens doors to international career opportunities. Graduates can pursue higher education or practice medicine in many countries after clearing the relevant licensing examinations.
