hey just to "wake up" this thread a bit. I ve already applied for the entrace exams for 1st faculty of medicine in Prague. I also applied for exams for hungary (Semmelweis) and i am in a bit of dilemma on which to choose if i pass in both. I think i ll prefer prague in the end. I really want to do a residency in the US though and hope Prague helps

anyone else going to prague in 2007?

I'm applying to the 3rd faculty, I don't really know anything about Semmelweis so I'm not applying there.

so anyone still there and how are you coping?

I have a friend who went there and found the language and different teaching style very hard to get used to. He also said lots of things were assessed by viva.

mass · 21-06-2008, 07:03 PM

what's viva and which institute is your friend at exactly?

bpr · 21-06-2008, 07:55 PM

viva is an aural exam, you sit in a room and get asked questions and have to reply to your professors.
I don't know which institute exactly but will try to find out.

On a slightly different note - do remember that if you want to work in the UK after you have graduated that wages are falling fast...medicine pays below the average starting graduate salary.

In my opinion you may be stung if you have paid a lot to study medicine abroad but then end up with a poorly paid UK job.

Each to their own I guess, I certainly wouldn't pay for a medical education abroad with uncertain prospects in the UK.

I know it's also possible to study medicine in Tartu, Estonia in an English stream. The city is nice and the university is of good pedigree (from what i know) and old, but i dont know anything about the course (only know they do medicine because my sister happens to live in the city).
