Sabubu,

To answer your question, in my opinion, no matter where you go to medical school, you always have to prove yourself capable of being a Doctor at the end of the journey. I think if you are capable of getting thhrough med school and passing your boards you are most likely capable of landing a residency, unless you don't interview well (which is a problem within itself). But, IMG's are or can be just as good as any USMG's.

I wanted to apply for UCLA, but, i saw an endless list of things to do. And the cost of being in a foreign country, not mentioning the fact that you need a "small" amount of money when you go to a private school (I read, that public schools are only for US citizens, so all of us has to apply for private, plz let me know if i'm wrong).

In my case, i go to a public school, but sometimes i pay like a private (private ain't up of USD 10.000 a year).

Why i didn't insisted in getting inside ucla, was, in first place, cause i'm rich and paying USD40.000 is nothing to me (can you realize that i'm being sarcastic?), second of all, is that our educational level is not the best, but neither the worst, and well year by year the best are sponsored in US schools, and that's cool, may I be one of them one day? hope so...


By the way. can we share our study plans so we can see the big or small differences between we all around the world?

I consider studying with Kasturba Medical College, Manipal a good option for students who would like to complete their studies and end up with jobs in U.S. hospitals.

The best thing about KMCIC is its affiliation with American University of Antigua College of Medicine. It gives you the flexibility to enroll at either the Antigua campus or at KMCIC Campus itself.

Hello ppl!!! I am new to this forum and i have few questions that I think u can help me with. Well i ama medical student from Colombia and i am interested in getting into a med school in the united states, i have revised the curriculum of most of the universities and during the 4th year the courses to take are obstetrics,peditrics, pschiatry and many other , many of those rotations only last 8 weeks. I am wondering how tough do you have to study for each rotation according to that schedule, i mean i study each of those rotations during one whole semester!! taking all of those rotations in only one year seems a lot of work.. i need to know how hard it is for medical students during that year, for example u can tell me how is a week's schedule during the week for a med student in 4th or 5th year.... if anyone can help me i would appreciate it a lot!!
Best wishes to all

Kasturba Medical College seems to be a good option. Could you tell me more about the college or provide me with the website address so that I can go through the site and find answer to numerous questions that I have?

And since this college is affiliated with American University of Antigua College of Medicine would it enable me to practice in US without appearing for any further exams or do I need to appear for US Medical Exams before I can start practicing in US?

just to correct u, US med schools are not for citizens only, u can apply to a public school as a permanent resident.
