The search for the best medical school

Best medical school

You dream of being a doctor or a nurse. You are searching for the best medical school that will give you the most for your money and will put you in a head start position when you graduate. But you also search for a place you’ll enjoy spending the next years in, where you can find friends, help and support.

We gathered on this site some information that can help you in your search but lets start at the beginning:

A medical school is a tertiary educational organization that teaches medicine and where you will learn about the human body science, study health and illness topics, and applying that knowledge with patients. Some medical schools also provide courses specialized as Master’s Degree programs, the Doctor of Philosophy degree, and other educational programs in health care.

In many European countries, in India, China and others, the study of medicine is completed as an undergraduate degree not requiring prerequisite undergraduate coursework. However, an increasing number of places are emerging for graduate entrants (i.e. in the UK, Ireland and Australia) moving medical education closer to the US/Canadian model. In other countries (e.g. the USA, Canada), medical degrees are second entry degrees, and require at least several years of previous study at the university level. Students wanting to enter medical school often complete a bachelors degree with a (pre-medical/medical science) curriculum including physics, chemistry, genetics, biochemistry, pathology, anatomy and physiology, and human biology. However, many medical schools will accept students of varying academic background so long as they complete the required prerequisite coursework and have a university degree, and some students obtain Master and PhD credentials before entering medical school.

Although medical schools confer upon graduates a medical degree (BMBS, MBBS, MBChB, MD, DO, MDCM, BMed, etc), a doctor typically may not legally practice medicine until licensed by the local government authority. Licensing may also require passing a test, undergoing a criminal background check, checking references, and paying a fee. Medical schools are regulated by each country and may appear on the WHO Directory of Medical Schools or the FAIMER International Medical Education Directory.

Most schools teach the same Curriculum in the first year of medical school, which consists of courses on the human body, how it is developed and how it functions.

Courses include:

* Anatomy
* Physiology
* Histology
* Biochemistry
* Embryology
* Neuroanatomy

The second year consists of courses on disease and treatment.

Courses include:

* Pathology
* Pharmacology
* Microbiology
* Immunology
