Top Medical Universities in Abroad For Studying MBBS at Low Cost

A medical profession is highly reputed profession in India and a foreign returned MBBS has even greater value. A huge number of aspirants are motivated to join foreign universities for learning medicine on account of the deficiency of sufficient seats in medical colleges in India. The overseas lands hail them no doubt but thinking of doing MBBS abroad is costly. Apart from course fees, there are hostel charges and daily expenditures, travel costs, stationary and books etc. The duration is 4 to 6 years. Total expenses can be enormous, and students fear whether they can afford medical studies abroad.

Generally, students consider certain factors when they look for medical colleges abroad.

• A well known college/university 
• Quality coaching 
• Approved by MCI 
• English Language for instruction 
• Safety and security 
• Good employment prospects worldwide 
• Admission procedure/eligibility 
• Fee structure / annual expenses 

The last factor is crucial. When students need to stay far away from their families and homes for six years, the expenditures incurred will be high. Apart from course fees, students have to make provision for hostel accommodation, food, study material, medical expenses and so on. Six years is a long period and personal requirements are numerous. Hence, they search for colleges where the fee structure is reasonable.

MBBS Abroad

What goes on in the mind of a perspective student from India who starts considering going for MBBS abroad? I have started analyzing this. And in order to understand them better, one has to look at some facts.
1. Indian students consider MBBS abroad only when they don't get a seat in NEET.
2. They feel they have failed their parents by not getting through NEET.
3. They feel that going abroad would add a lot of financial burden on their families.
4. What would happen when they come back to India with a foreign degree? Will they be able to practice in India?
5. Will they be able to adapt to the environment abroad. Will they be able to survive well in an alien country where they don't have the protected environment created by their parents.

There are many self doubts that these very young students go through - And the decision is definitely not easy. Yesterday I met a young man who kept asking questions like,"What if I fail in a couple of subjects in the first year." "What if I come back and fail the MCI screening test." "What will happen if I fail in the final year." and so on. All the questions were about not making it, about failing.

I was trying to understand where he is coming from. He has just come to know that he is not getting a college admission based on the poor performance in NEET. He feels that he has let down himself and his family. He has taken this loss too harshly upon himself. Will he be able to overcome it?

I do feel bad that children have to go through competitive exams, which already have a ratio of getting selected at just 5%, and they have to go through such guilt after not passing. I feel they need time to sit back and think about the whole thing. Do they really deserve to put themselves through so much guilt and pain? It is important for parents and counselors also to help these children move on in life. They have to be explained that everyone in this whole world goes through his/her share of failures in life, and it is a process which makes them who they are. Mistakes and failures help us learn to improve ourselves.

Regarding admissions however, the trend seems to be changing. This year we have a lot of students at DTMU who have chosen to take admission even before NEET results. They have understood that studying at DTMU - USMLE based curriculum would make them internationally much more qualified and competent than studying MBBS in India.

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.

Recreational activities for students in Tbilisi, Georgia

One of the great things about studying in Tbilisi, Georgia is that you have ample recreational activities. The nation has always encouraged its citizens to take part in outdoor and indoor sporting and cultural activities. All over the country there are facilities for recreation. However, the type of recreational activity also depends on the season. In winter most recreational activities are geared towards the snow and during the summer it is water-related. However, there are many more activities for students than just playing sports.

For foreign students, recreational activities really depend on the company. After a long week of studying hard, most foreign students prefer to just take it easy over the weekends. Often, students get together and organize informal dinners and listen to music, watch videos and play indoor games.

For those who are more active, there are ample recreational activities. Almost all universities and colleges have sports arenas where one can participate in indoor sporting activities like swimming, tennis, badminton or even squash. Tbilisi also has many jogging and cycling tracks all over the city.

There are cinemas, restaurants, cafeterias and fast food joints all over. In general most foreign students prefer to eat home cooked meals and watch online movies- which is cheaper and more satisfying.

During long weekends, one can get out of town and go to the seashore. Georgia has many fresh lakes where one can fish, undertake water activities or just sit and soak the sun. For those who are brave, one can visit Mtkvari river where there are rafting tours. A day spent in this part of the country is exhilarating to say the least.

Tbilisi is a city full of tradition and culture and one does not always have to leave town to enjoy the place. There are some great monuments and buildings to see like the Tsminda Sameba Cathedral, Bridge of Peace, National Botanical Garden of Georgia, the Narikala Fortress or use the aerial Tramway and get some breath taking views of the city. During the summer, the Mtatsminda Amusement park is open and you can get to sit on some thrilling but very scary rides.

During the winter season, most foreign students prefer to be indoors. However, winter is a favorite time for many Georgians as they love snow, skiing and snowboarding. You may also want to learn ice skating as there are many skating arenas all over the city.

The good thing about Tbilisi is that most of the recreational activities do not require much money and many sightseeing ventures are free. All you need is motivation. As long as you have good company, you can enjoy almost any activity in Tbilisi. When you are tired of recreation, you can always study or browse the internet.

DTMU: The best medical college in Georgia

Georgia has many good medical schools but probably the best medical college in the country is the David Tvildiani Medical University. The recognition as the best medical college is not just based on unaccountable reports on promotional websites – It is based on the opinion of students themselves. Over the past two decades DTMU has steadily risen in its rank as not only the top medical college in Georgia but also as the top amongst all former Soviet republics. It has the distinction of being the only university in Georgia to teach the curriculum completely in English.

In1992/1993, the AIETI Medical School started functioning under the patronage of Acad. David Tvildiani and Dr. Dimitri Tvildiani. It is one of the first non-governmental higher medical education institutions in Georgia.  Since 2011 AIETI Medical School was renamed after the academician David Tvildiani in David Tvildiani Medical University (DTMU).

So what has made this medical college number one in the Region?

There are several factors responsible for that. Number one is that DTMU has always maintained a rigorous admission process and picks the top students from the country. It has also recruited some of the leading physicians to teach at the medical school. DTMU has adopted a USMLE based curriculum and many of their lecturers have been trained both in Europe and the US. Graduates of DTMU are often the first to be selected for advanced training in the USA and Europe.

David Tvildiani Medical University (DTMU) offers USMLE preparation courses for free.  In addition to mandatory lessons that students attend in basic MD programs, they also have the opportunity to attend free USMLE preparation courses. USMLE preparation process is based on best books and educational materials used and recommended for the exams. Computer based multiple choice examinations are conducted periodically to simulate real USMLE test taking environment. Selection examinations are conducted for AIETI`s students and graduates aimed to pass the USMLE Steps. A student has to obtain the threshold exceeding score to be admitted as a candidate for the USMLE financed by the School.

DTMU (AIETI) is included into the WHO AVICENNA Directory for medicine, and it is a member of the: Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE), Association of Medical Schools in Europe (AMSE) and Organization for PhD Education in Biomedicine and Health Sciences in the European System (ORPHEUS).

A large number of the graduates have already completed or are currently doing the residency or other proficiency courses, working as physicians in prominent USA and European Universities and Hospitals. The absolute majority of the graduates have been employed in the professional field, while many more successfully passed the international exams (USMLE, PLAB, MCI) and are currently developing their skills at hospitals and research centres of the USA, Germany, Britain, Sweden and other developed countries. A number of the graduates have returned to the School as efficient teachers. Many of them have earned their PhD degree.
