Thread: how hard is this school

what are their exams, assignments like? WHat is passing

i'd like to know if the tests are mind-melting or just enough to give you a headache... You know the tests I'm talking about..

Wow, I don't know if I'd want to see a physician who chose their medical school based on how easy the courses were.

I'm not basing it on that... My neuroscience classes gave me headaches when I finished a test, but my genetics class were the mind melting type.

I wasn't implying that you were thinking that way, more the original poster, but I guess it doesn't matter as it appears they are banned.

I assume you are from the US then We all have to take USMLE (the greatest qualizer).

or
Are you thinking or asking urself medical school is harder than USMLE???????.

I hear horror stories through my friends that people are paying big $$$$$$$to prometric center owners (in certain prometric centers ) in the meddle east and south Asia so they allow someone to write a exam for others.

99 is possible.

Opening prometric center in Parkistan and India is considered to be big business.

Prometric centers are poorly administered in several countries. even in NJ too.

British' GMC has done better job than ECFMG.

in Many countries, around the world cheatings in exams are common practice and it's okay & perfectly fine (no ethic ) but not in US and CANADA according to the law ( US resident can do it out side the US)
many follow ethic very closley in the US. few??????

Practicing medicine is easier than passing the USMLE for many many Doctors.

They are willing to pay in thousands $$$$$, just make it back in 6 figures.

getting a Residency is all about connection.
for example, Muslim PD is willing to choose someone from same community.
It also is equally true for south asian who is PD for residency prog.

IF you are from MEDDiLE eastern countries , especially from Saudi then CANADA is the best option . CANADA will sell FRCP 's residency spot at diff rate .
those nationals have chance to buy then migrate to the USA.

There are several way to get your dream MD.

which is the best way ??????,. everyone knows it.

Either Neurosurgical or Family Practice. Yeah... I know, FP is probably the more realistic goal, but it doesn't hurt to wish.
