UMKC 6 Year BS/MD Program | Interview with Medical Student (unusual paths to med school ep. 2) 

Loved what you had to say!

I have a question, how did you feel in the environment of UMKC, considering that if you did not choose a BS/MD, you might have been able to go to a better-ranked college?

congrats on matching into ophthalmology!!! i’m starting the program in august🤞

Do you know anything about bacc2md program at university of toledo

How do you qualify for national merit scholar? I want to know for my son

@@mranderson1635 I’d definitely advise you to look into it more, but, at least when I was in high school, they used our PSAT scores as a proxy for choosing national merit scholars. Then if you reached a certain score and interviewed well you could become a “finalist.” Being a national merit finalist opens so many doors when it comes to college/higher education both financially and academically.

Xio Kixou I'll add it to my list

Plsss do, because I'm not even sure if the program is still in effect

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi, I’m a student in the program, and as far as I can tell, you should able to. Just understand that some classes may need to be retaken depending on UMKC guidelines.

whaaaa that’s amazing

@Aka yes it is amazing its the best way to attend med school cause in Europeon countries they traditionally have 6 yr med school you can join right after your high school and after completing it you get a MD degree which is recognised all over the world also there schools are the schools whose rankings in entire world is less than 200, also they are really cheap.

Yes but you won’t make 600k USD a year in Europe as a physician. Getting into Medschool in the US is much harder than Med schools outside of US. We are the gold standard. That’s why if you can get into a 6 year program in the US, you have automatically entered the top tier and have an advantage above the rest

@@mranderson1635 there are pros and cons to both when it come to pay. In Europe we have almost no tuition fees therefore we don’t have to pay for student loans + interests. I’ve met Dr Richard Brown(plastic surgery) online last year and he’s managed to pay off student loans 10 years after finishing residency. The 6 year BS-MD course is definitely secure but in most cases it’s the traditional 8 year path. Also after the 8 years you have around 6 years of residency training which usually pays medical graduates less than nurses per hour. This is also the reason why the US has the highest physician burnout rate. Also the eu has disadvantages as most of the stuff is payed by the government meaning that you have less liberty with your money

Usually during US residency training most doctors arent able to pay off student loans because of the low pay so the student loans accumulate for those 6 years

I do not sorry

Of course of course

Hey, do you have any specific questions you'd be interested in?

@@yugiohforce1 what made them choose medicine after a different career path, how they went about it, and how they discovered their passion later

@@yugiohforce1 I do what classes did they take in highschool and what yr. what stats did they have also. Ik u made a vid but I need help choosing courses!

"International students are not eligible for admission to the B.A./M.D. program." Information found under Admissions Eligibility: med.umkc.edu/bamd/admission-requirements-eligibility/

Best way for an international student to become a doctor is to attend med school in Europeon countries except UK cause they traditionally have 6 yr med school you can join right after your high school and after completing it you get a MD degree which is recognised all over the world also there schools are the schools whose rankings in entire world is less than 200, also they are really cheap.

Tbh… get a green card by getting married to an American, it will make things x10 easier. If you apply with a visa, oh boy… you’ll need to score much higher than all the American grads to get lesser positions at crap hospitals where training is subpar. Get married to an American and go to a well recognized school that is well know to the US like the big schools in India or Pakistan. They have better clout than the Caribbean schools and have placed students in better residencies from what I’ve seen.

I believe it's just high school

The minimum education requirement to be accepted to the 6-year program is 12th grade, however there are a few each year that transfer from another university after one or two years of studying.
