Demystifying MBBS in Georgia

We have been doing a lot of research about the growing trend of “MBBS in Georgia” for Indian students. Why Georgia is such a preferred destination for Indian students who wish to pursue medicine? We notice that Indian students, or rather Indian people in general follow trends. They like to follow the tried and tested path. There have been phases when different countries were popular amongst Indian students, like China, Philippines, Russia, Ukraine, Armenia and more recently even Caribbean Islands. And the current phase belongs to Georgia.

Georgia has become popular mainly because it offers better quality education compared to the above mentioned countries. Students coming back home from most of these countries find it increasingly difficult to be able to get a license to practice medicine in India. Most of them fail the MCI Eligibility test.

Here are some more reasons why these countries are becoming unpopular:

1. Corruption and Crime: Russia and Ukraine have a high crime rate and are also considered very corrupt. The corruption levels are higher than most countries of the world. On Corruption Perception Index, India is ranked: 81 Armenia: 107 Philippines: 111 Ukraine: 130 and Russia: 135.   Georgia ranks at 46.   Check the link: https://www.transparency.org/news/feature/corruption_perceptions_index_2017?gclid=CjwKCAiA8vPUBRAyEiwA8F1oDGG6HIZ9V6ujQ90mXDwIyMJ0ww12Z49nvJJ7YOBPTRsmaLrQUe061xoCOYoQAvD_BwE#table
 
2. Syllabus: Indian students in China claim that they teach Chinese Medicine in Chinese universities. The syllabus is outdated and very different from the modern medicine taught outside China.
 
3. Entrance Test: Philippines system of MBBS requires a student to pass an entrance exam after doing Pre-Medical. Only then they get admission in MBBS. Agents in India claim that they are sending the student for MBBS, however that is not the truth. It is for Pre Medical course that the Indian students get admission in. After 2 years of studying Pre Medical, most students fail the entrance exams and are unable to get through to MBBS.
 
4. MCI Recognition: This is a major issue when it comes to education the Caribbean Islands. Agents keep promoting such universities for commissions only. Some Caribbean Universities offer courses in which a student can study half of the duration in Caribbean and the other half in The US. MCI does not recognize such courses and universities.
 
5. MCI Eligibility Test: Students coming from most countries after completing MBBS have a dismal passing record at the MCI Eligibility Test. The passing rate is lower than 20%. What is the point of doing MBBS if the student cannot pass the MCI Eligibility Test?

Why Georgia?

1. Safe Environment: Georgia offers a better, safer environment for international students. Overall the society is safe and disciplined. Corruption is even lower compared to a lot of European countries as well.
 
2. Education Pattern: Education pattern for MBBS in Georgia is much more modern than most countries. That gives the students from Georgia an edge over others, especially when it comes to MCI Eligibility Test.
 
3. Eurasia: Georgian culture is a mix of Europe and Asia. It is located right in between Europe and Asia, which makes it a very interesting place to be in. The society follows values and principles whichare quite traditional. This suits students from India.
 
4. English: In many countries where Indian students go for MBBS, they find that the courses, even though promoted as courses in English turn out to be actually courses in the local language. In Georgia, when a course is promoted as English is actually in English.
 
5. Indian Cultural Activities: Georgians are very fond of Indian films and music and there are regular activities involving Indian actors and musicians. Students find themselves in an environment which is appreciative of their culture.

Now comes the most important question.

MBBS Abroad

MBBS in Georgia

It was in 2010, when I was seeing off DTMU students at the Mumbai Airport. They were going with dreams in their eyes to do MBBS inGeorgia. Their dreams were big and so was their baggage. I was quite surprised to see that most of them had an overweight baggage to the tune of about 20 kilos and more. How did that happen?

Indian food, masalas, MBBS books, clothes – lots and lots of clothes etc, everything in huge quantities, but why didn’t they weigh their baggage at all? Most of them were shocked to find the cost of extra weight. So, that was also a lesson for us to emphasize on this subject in every seminar and meet with the students and their parents.

Very good quality clothes are available in Georgia; at a very reasonable cost. In fact it is advisable to purchase clothes from there itself because the designs and the styles are different. That really helps in reducing the baggage weight. Secondly, we also advise them to purchase extra weight fro m their airlines much beforehand. That weight is so much cheaper than what you end up paying at the airport.

Opportunities after USMLE 3

Opportunities after USMLE 3

Students from all over the world go to Tbilisi, Georgia for their medical studies. Besides Canada, there are students from the USA, India, Africa, Central and South America and even other republics of the former soviet union. There are several universities in Georgia who offer very similar program to the American MD undergraduate program. The only difference is that the Georgia programs are 6 years instead of the 4 years in the USA. These medical education programs follow a course curriculum which is very similar to the one in the USA. There is no difference in either the basic or clinical sciences between the courses you learn in the USA or Georgia.

The reason the medical education programs are developed in this way is because it helps the foreign students prepare and pass the United States Medical Licensing Exam. Anyone who wishes to practice medicine in Canada or the USA must have the USMLE. The USMLE is essential for obtaining a place in internship/residency in the USA and Canada. Further, the USMLE is also needed for licensing purposes.

To ensure that the students do pass the USMLE with flying colors, the medical schools in Georgia offer integrated preclinical and clinical training that helps develop the core foundation of medicine.

The teaching is done by doctors who have trained in Georgia and abroad and English is the common language. The physicians who teach know exactly what the USMLE will ask and will ensure that all students develop solid knowledge in the basic sciences.

Once the student passes USMLE Step3, then he or she is eligible to apply for a residency or internship in the USA or Canada. It is important to remember that there are medical students from all over the world applying to US and Canadian hospitals and competition is fierce. So getting a good grade in the USMLE exams is a priority. There are always vacant positions for internships in the USA but sometimes these may not always be in the cities you want. For example, if you want to go to Boston or Los Angeles, this may not be realistic because most of the top American hospitals usually select US educated medical students first. However, since the medical training in the USA is the same all over the country, you can apply anywhere you want. For example, you can go for an internship in New Orleans and you will get the same training as someone at Harvard.

Because there are not many residency positions open in all specialties (eg dermatology or ophthalmology), one also has to be realistic when applying to the US residency programs. However, there are ample opportunities to get a place in medicine, anesthesia, family practice, physiatry, psychiatry and anesthesia. With a solid grade in the USMLE, you can also apply to Canadian programs. Canada has a deficiency of primary care doctors and the country usually accepts 20-30 foreign educated physicians.

Remember, 50% of the US physicians is foreign born so if they can make it, so can you. So if you are planning to come back to the USA to practice medicine, you need to ace all the steps of the USMLE.
