Medicine as an International Student in the UK | ft. KharmaMedic | Atousa Interviews 

hey everyone, I hope this been helpful for you! :) I also have a for you to my art store in the description! have a great day xo

Thanks for interviewing me Atousa! It was so much fun filming with you 😊

Interesting topic and can be talked about in great length. I am currently also a Canadian having studied in the UK medical school (5 years) straight out of high school when I was 18 as an undergrad, now working as a CT1 in the UK. Back then I decided to apply and study abroad in the UK because I knew I wanted to do medicine and at that time didn't want to spend 3-4 years of time and money on a pre-med undergraduate degree which I saw as jumping through unnecessary hoops. However what I recommend some people to realise and consider before studying abroad is what the plan is AFTER med school, specifically in regards to specialty training. What this video did not mention at all is that postgraduate training in the UK is extremely long compared to some other places such as North America. In the UK you compete and continuously relocate and go through multiple interviews for your training as a junior doctor- foundation programme (FPAS), core training, and higher specialty (registrar) training whereas in North America there is (generally speaking) only one postgraduate process (residency matching). Compared to my friends in Canada who went through med school and are also doctors now, they are actually enroute to becoming specialists faster than myself due to the fact that postgraduate training is so much straightforward compared to the UK. Another big point is not all international students are the same and why people decide to study abroad differ. Do you intend to study there with the intention to consider immigration? Or return to your country asap? If it's the former, things are easier. However if it's the latter, throughout medical school you need to begin preparing your way back to your home country (e.g shadowing/observerships, prepping for licensing exams , etc ) I may be generalising, but based on my own observation, undergrads like me tend to continue on specialty training in the UK as we feel we have more time and youth to go through the UK system whereas graduate entry students tend to leave the country afterward and return home for specialty training.

Yay early squad 🎇🎉🎊. Thank you so much Atousa for this video. It's very useful for all international students out there.

It’s always cool seeing youtubers I follow collab! I appreciate Nas’s openness 👏

This is such an informative video, thank you so much ❤🌻

Hi! I noticed that learning in uk can be expensive especially as an international student EXSPECIALLY medical school, How do you get funding/scholarship? Thank you very much

This video was super relatable!! I applied to UK Medical schools as an international and it was such a daunting process.

I got so excited seeing that you posted haha! I've searched for summer internships and such in the UK a couple of times actually, but I always end up backing out from applying because the procedures seem too complicated or I just get in my own head somehow. I'll take applying more seriously now! Thanks for the great video! 👍😊💕

Thank you so much for your videos! they're amazing! I wanted to ask if you have any advice on how to prepare for interviews in order to be accepted to a master's program. I found your personal statement video super helpful and I feel like you will have some useful tips for the interview as well.

Dammb im been a subscribing to you for yearrrrrrrs!!! And im still here lol watching ya

That was so fun to see this. Thank u .I got a lot of info . I can't open that useful PDF ,could u please help me with that?

I couldn't find the pdf, the link doesn't work. Please, give me a valid link 😔

It was a really good interview thanks to you both for the time ans help 😊 . Can international students get any loans so that they can cover the cost of living and/or pay the university fee once they start to work in UK after they finished their studies?

I’m confused about the medical school in the UK, I’m British born and raised but moved to America when I was 16. And I want to move back home only recently I’ve been thinking about studying medicine but I noticed in order to study medicine it starts with an undergrad degree? Whereas in America you get your bachelors then you attend medical school. So that means I’d have to start all over again!? I’m confused

I have been considering this for years now. But, I've been reading articles about it and they keep advising against going to med school abroad. If I do decide to do this I would stay after graduation and work there. If I being honest I wouldn't go back to the U.S. to practice medicine.

Hello ma'am, according to websites, To appear in the plab exam, The university must be in the list of world Dictionary of medical school. how much is it true?? were your university in the list of dictionary of world medical school. my university is not in the list of world medical school. am i eligible??

Foreigners have to pay non-subsidised tuition fees and it is very very expensive to study medicine in the UK or any Western country.

How does it cost to study medicine in Birmingham university as a international student

And i have a question again 🙄😂 How did u get the scholarship ? And which university do you study in?

I still don't get why did he do undergrad. It's like wasting 4 years. Can someone explain it to me?
