Top MBBS Abroad Prospects Details and How the NMC Gazette Affects it

1. Top MBBS Abroad Prospects and How the NMC Gazette Affects it Over the years, thanks to the increasing globalization and the shrinking world, more and more medical aspirants prefer to go for MBBS abroad. While the lack of opportunities in their home countries is also a reason, the point remains that the demand for medical universities abroad is ever-increasing. Thanks to this, more and more countries around the world are starting to open their doors to foreign/international applicants. Despite the increase in competition, there are 2 prospects that have maintained their dominance in this field namely: - 1.MBBS in Ukraine 2.MBBS in China This post seeks to delve into the details of these 2 prospects as well as shed light on whether or not the latest NMC Gazette has had an effect on both these prospects or not.

2. MBBS in Ukraine Along with Russia, it’s Ukraine that has successfully upheld the legacy of the Soviet Union when it comes to top-notch medical education. This stands true for the academics, pedagogy, and research facilities. This is perhaps the reason why all the medical courses in the top universities of this country are approved and accredited by trusted bodies like the World Health Organization (WHO), FAIMER, ECFMG, and the top medical boards across the world including the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India. Thanks to the latter, candidates getting a medical degree from any of the top colleges of Ukraine are eligible for the Indian licentiate exam i.e. the FMGE Exam (soon going to be the NEXT Exam). What makes MBBS in Ukraine one of the most legit opportunities for the medical aspirants is the “hands-on” aspect of it all. This is made possible by the state-of-the-art equipment in the laboratories and in-campus research centres. Here, students are made to take part in simulations (real-life-like recreations) in which they need to make use of modern medical equipment to solve on- field problems. This is basically how students learn to practically apply their theoretical knowledge. Top Universities for MBBS in Ukraine Though there are a plethora of prestigious medical universities that have a legacy of decades and in some cases centuries, the top 5 universities mentioned below are currently the most sought-after. These are currently on the top primarily due to quality. 1.Lviv National Medical University 2.Vinnitsa National Medical University

3. 3.Kharkiv National Medical University 4.Kyiv Medical University of UAFM 5.Bogomolets National Medical University Effects of the NMC Gazette Regarding the MBBS in abroad prospect, these are the following guidelines that have been mentioned in the NMC Gazette. The minimum duration of the entire medical programme shall be at least 5.5 years long. This includes an internship of at least 12 months. The entire program must be done from the same university, which means changing colleges mid-way isn’t an option. Candidates vying for MBBS in Ukraine will be delighted to know that none of these factors affect this prospect as it already fits the above criteria. In fact, this gazette is also a good way to bring those universities on the same page as others, who earlier did not fit the above-mentioned criteria. In simple words, the prospect i.e. MBBS in Ukraine is still a safe and trustworthy option especially for Indian medical graduates. MBBS in China Almost all the above mentioned facilities and services, that too in top-notch quality are also guaranteed to those students pursuing MBBS in China. In fact, what allows Chinese medical education to stand apart from the rest is the nice blend of ancient Chinese alternative medicine knowledge coupled with the most modern and updated concepts of medical science.

5. 5.Jiangsu University 6.Sun-Yat Sen University 7.Jilin University 8.Tianjin University 9.Capital Medical University 10. Kunming Medical University Effects of the NMC Gazette All the clauses related to MBBS in abroad have been mentioned in the previous paragraphs, which candidates can refer to. In the case of China, the latest NMC Gazette doesn’t affect most of the top medical universities there. However, this document has put some of the medical colleges in a precarious position. The reason for the latter is primarily the fact that these universities offer a 5 year MBBS program (including internship), which is less than the mandated 5.5-year duration mentioned in the gazette. This means that MBBS degrees from these particular universities won’t currently be valid in India. However, this should not deter the students as most of the prestigious medical universities specializing in MBBS in China do match the gazette guidelines and are very much valid in India. Fortunately, these are the most sought-after ones by Indian medical aspirants. To sum up all that has been mentioned above, it won’t be wrong to say that MBBS in China is still one of the most attractive prospects for the foreign/international medical aspirants. Though facing some hiccups in terms of some medical colleges, the problem will surely be addressed soon. Whatever little problems are evident in the previously mentioned prospect are completely absent as far as MBBS in Ukraine is concerned. So the students who are seeking to get a medical degree
