MBBS/ Study Medicine in Abroad

Lots of Indian Students looking to study MBBS in another country. Its a great career choice but requires good preparation, and it is important to understand why students choose other countries to study for MBBS program? India has a great deficit of Doctors: the World Health Organization (WHO) sets the minimum ratio at 1: 1000, while it is 1:1700 in India. There are very limited seats for admission in Indian public institutions, and sometimes private institutions total costs for doing MBBS actually surpasses what one needs to pay for MBBS education in the US, UK or other European countries.

There are a lot of Eastern European, South American and Asian countries, such as Armenia, Ukraine, Georgia, Lithuania, Azerbaijan, Moldova, China, Philippines, Kyrgyzstan, which have been alternative places to study MBBS abroad. Indian students have been going to these destinations for decades now, and making successful medical careers.

However, Europe has always been a favorite of Indian students, mostly because of the diplomatic relations that support both countries. In 90 years, Europe has been a favorite destination for MBBS programs, of course, specifically for Indian students, who often traveled to Europe in large quantities. Therefore, the teaching methods and curriculum caught up with Western countries, but after the introduction of the Medical Council of India (MCI) screening test in 2004, the number of students going to the MBBS course abroad has dropped dramatically. Now the number of students has begun to grow again. In Europe, it has about 8,500 Indian students, 80% of whom are medical students.
