Does it make sense to study medicine abroad? Yes, but... Lets be honest, most British students who go abroad to study medicine have first of all tried to get in to a medical school in this country. As you will no doubt know by now, there are far more students who wish to study medicine than there are places available. Even the best exam results you could ever achieve may not be enough to get you a place and a lot of people miss out for reasons that are not a reflection on their ability or passion for the profession. Students who miss out are often encouraged to reapply in the UK; this just adds to the pressure for places year on year and while it may be an advisable strategy as it gives you time to gain additional experience, it is not the only one. You dont need to put your life on hold because of the British university admissions system. There are some universities abroad that offer graduate entry routes into medicine but these are few and far between. Some universities may allow admission into the third year of a 5 or 6 year MBBS qualification but this is unusual. If you are passionate about becoming a doctor and you want to get straight on with your studies, there are universities abroad that can help you. You need to be careful in your choice of university but there are some highly reputable medical schools that can help you achieve your dream and your objectives.
