Where is the cheapest medical school which is taught in English located, and where you can still do clinical rotations in the US and of course sit for the USMLE?

528 points English MD Programs in Europe East vs West
6 Years MD English Program in Russia (Eastern Europe)
3000$ per year tuition +Droms are 2000$ per year = Total 5000$ / year X 6 years = 30K for the MD Degree.
Hospital Clerkship included in major hospitals........cons you have to move to Russia for 6 years.
6 Years MD English Program in Ireland (Western Europe)
Ireland on the other hand is VERY Expensive & is about 30K per year for 6 years = 180K for the MD + DORMS (10K / year x 6 = 60K) You are looking at 240K Total
***Both are IMGs, with good chance at licensing, if score well on the USMLEs...
512 points What an interesting list that would be, the definitive guide to every medical school and the total cost of tuition + hidden fees.
240K is so far outside my budget, i'd have to hit the lottery to afford that one...

526 points as EU citizen Oradea English program is the cheapest European one probably (1800€ 1st ear , then around 1100€ per year) , around 3600€ per year for non EU citizen
perhaps worth paying a little more than those russian MD (with probably hidden fees/bribes) and getting an European MD recognised in Europe

Fore some strange reason every time I read something that says "cheapest medical school" the phrase "you get what you pay for" comes to my mind.![]()

526 points in some country with the highest medical education level like France , and many other ones , this is completly the opposite. If you just think paying a lot will drive someone to the best level is wrong , my school is giving all the proper teaching and clinical that we can expect from a med school , and much more than some very expensive (10000€ and +) polish univ where teachers don't even care about foreign sections
In France , these "private sections" with high tuition are now even at risk to lose local accreditation due to financial selection induced
So you see , money is not making everything and western European exemple (almost free) should be followed more

512 points Maybe I should have used the word "value" instead of 'cheapest'.
So let me rephrase and ask, "What is the most affordable medical school taught in English and provides the best educational value?"
So far it seems that Eastern Europe offers the best deals on medical education.
510 points From what I have heard, the best trade off in terms of affordability and teaching quality is Oradea in Romania. If you don't want to go to Romania you could check out some of the Polish universities.
