Is studying MBBS abroad really a good idea in 2023

Here are a few justifications for choosing to pursue MBBS abroad:

Few Seats Available in Indian Colleges

As more Indians want to become doctors every year, Indian medical institutes are frequently associated with fierce rivalry. It is certain that many applicants won't gain a seat because there are only roughly 542 medical schools in the country. This is not the case, though, because there are many good solutions available abroad.

Medical Professionals Are in High Demand

Hospital beds, nurses, and medical personnel are all in limited supply in India. Only 86 doctors are licensed to practice in India, compared to the global average of 150 doctors per 100,000 inhabitants. Many young people have been inspired to study abroad because of the shortage. This might also be a contributing reason to the love for lifesaving among many Indian youths.

Financially Lucrative

The prestige associated with the degree and the career satisfaction it delivers are major additional factors for studying abroad. Students can apply for residency programmes, during which their expenses are covered, as soon as they have finished their six and a half years of medical school.

Better classroom labs

Colleges overseas provide cutting-edge labs and a very engaging studying atmosphere. The greatest tools and equipment are often available in their laboratories, allowing you to get practical application skills while pursuing your degree.

Globally Relevant Degree

You can pursue a professional career anywhere in North America and India with a medical degree from a foreign institution, like the American University of Antigua (AUA). You can thus practice medicine in numerous nations thanks to the degree.

Awareness of new cultures

When seeking a degree, many young people hope to realize their ambition of getting to know different cultures. This develops into a significant motivator as it aids in perspective-widening through exposure to many surroundings and cultures. Such opportunities can in fact support holistic growth, which broadens one's employment options.

Improve Soft Skills

Depending on where one is relocating, a language barrier could exist and provide an opportunity to pick up a new tongue. In the long run, learning a second language for social integration can benefit brain growth, especially if one intends to settle permanently in the same nation in the future.

Understanding Independence

The fact that so many kids share a home with their parents frequently interferes with personal development. Therefore, it is thought that being away from your family helps you develop greater independence, accountability, and self-reliance. These abilities also aid in one's overall personality development.

Enhanced Return on Investment (ROI)

You have the chance to earn money with a professional degree from a college or university like AUA thanks to the Match, a residency programme for international students. As soon as you earn your undergraduate degree, this occurs. This is a significant justification for studying abroad, especially for those who want to settle in North America.

Possibilities for Choosing Permanent Residence Abroad

As was already noted, the Match enables you to relocate abroad only on the basis of academic achievement. For people who want to move abroad to study and apply for positions in medicine there, this presents fantastic chances.

We sincerely hope that this blog has given you some new perspective on the advantages of studying an MBBS overseas. You may feel more motivated to pursue the degree yourself now that you are aware of the benefits of studying abroad.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
