Hey cools, thanks. I finally did find some info. It seems to be quite a good, reputed school.

[cools]

No problem shrey.

Yes, seems like the school is coming up slowly. But I woudn't go there until atleast a few batches have graduated, so that I can make sure they match at some places. Also, since its not CA recognised.... I would consider before going there.
Anyways... its not like we are gonna transfer there out of our own med schools right...!!!!!

[shrey]

What I was wondering about the 4 year degree was. Seeing as your internship is a compulsory part of your degree in places like Poland,CR, Croatia, Hungary etc unlike in the UK for example. Is it right to say, you are effectively doing a 4 year grad entry degree in only 3 years!!? As your last year would be your internship?

If so, then I'm not surprised that places like Zagreb only accept students with previous Med school experience as it must be extremely tough. I know Poland doesn't require previous Med school experience on it's Grad entry course.

Am I missing something here?

On another note, and completely off-topic. Has anyone been reading Dan Kameny's blog about his experiences in Prague, as it sounds too me like he really must lay-off the coffee and get more sleep as it's slowly sending him mad. He seems a very nice chap, but very disheartened with Charles and I know it's only one persons experience, but I'm really starting to get put off with the idea of studying at Charles. My girlfriend is almost finished with her PhD there and her experiences with her lecturers strangely echo his. I think the biggest problem is that they are so badly paid and therfore also disheartened.

Shrey! Any chance you can set up a blog as well? Only kidding, I know you must be swamped at the moment, but a fresh perspective would be nice as I'm really starting to sway towards Zagreb. I love the idea of only studying one subject at a time as it would work well with my OCD
Being able to do electives in Germany is also a bonus.
