Chexpool, is the four year program accepted Europe wide? Do you have link to licensing?

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as European 'licensing'.

In theory, each member state should accept the diplomas from another member state, but practice may differ.

You have to contact the local national organization responsible for licensure in each EU country to find out.

GMC | Poland – Evidence of qualifications

is the GMC site for the UK; it has all the requirements of doctors trained in poland to work in the UK.

the information i was citing; i can't quite remember where i read it. However, if you read the qualifications on the RCSI website, they also include there 4 year program as kosher in the EU. Furthermore, in the end it is 5 years, one year clinical's on top of the diploma, qualifies the diploma to full status in the EU.

I will look around for the article after this next histo exam, work has piled UP!

Hey I just came across this part of VMD, and it looks like the only person that took the survey for KMU/PUM was pretty dissatisfied. Maybe (*cough, hint-hint.....Narcan......) some experienced third/fourth year students should take the survey.......

Hey I did the survey and I hate to say it but the prior survey was pretty accurate.

yea, I noticed that they were a bit unorganized. When I visited the school back in early september, I had made reservations months in advanced at the Eskulap. When I showed up the door man didn't speak any English or German and had no idea about any reservation. He was trying to get me to leave when a Student spoke English and tranlated and I finally got a room.

yeah i guess you get what you pay for. A fancy school in ireland would cost us, 40k euro's lets say, for a four year program. But hey, the school is building a new library and by the looks of it it will be done next year at some point. I hope it will have 24 hr access, to internet, and study areas, which would cover much of many peoples complaints. Its next door to the dental building and the dorms. Eskulap is rough looking and load with the ESKULAP CLUB at the bottom, what the hell is that by the way. But the rooms, are actually a little larger (and less nice) the medyk and aspirinka. If you are looking for a dorm at first try to get one in M or A.

Bckwood, damn for some reason i thought you said were british? anyway, the books will work you over, if you work them! ha. So come on over, i hope it will only get better. The ASG is trying ): ha. well

You probably just thought I was British 'cause I was asking you about EU licensing. I just wanted to make sure that the 4 year md program is accepted in the EU, and there wasn't something like Califonia has and it isn't accepted because it says 'English Program' or something stupid like that.
