MBBS Program in
Philippines
MBBS is Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. In theory these
are two separate degrees, but in practice the two are usually treated as one.
The degrees are the British equivalent of the American M.D. The basic or degree
level qualification for a medical profession is MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine
& Bachelor of Surgery) which is of 5 & 1/2 years duration (including 1
year internship). Medicinae Baccalaureus, Baccalaureus Chirurgiae (MBBChir,
MBChB, BMBS, MBBS or variations thereof) are the two degrees awarded
after a course in medicine and surgery at a university in the United Kingdom
and other places following the British tradition, such as Australian, Hong
Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Jamaican, South African, Pakistan and
Indian medical schools.
Most of High school or 10+2
pass out from India are dreaming of getting a scholarship seat in a good governmental
medical school at home or abroad by scoring high in the medical entrance
examinations conducted by Ministry of Education. Those who fail to get a scholarship
choose to study MBBS under self-support. However studying MBBS in the private
medical colleges of home-country is very expensive. Therefore
studying MBBS in abroad is undoubtedly a good choice for
those who want to be a doctor in future. There are no capitation fees or
donations to be paid to the Universities. The cost of higher education in
abroad is highly regulated and subsidized by the Ministry of Education (MOE).
They are very reasonable in contrast to universities in other countries. The
cost of living in Philippines, Mauritius, Ukraine, Russia & Germany is
also relatively low compared with studying medicine in UK, US and other countries. Most
physicians work within the public health care systems at hospitals and health
centre’s but in some countries it is common to open your own practice. The
profession of being a physician is protected by a license issued by the state.
What you as a foreign physician, need to do in order to receive a license in a
new country depend on that country’s bilateral agreements. In some parts of the
world there is a shortage of physicians and the shift runs smoother while it
may take several years in others. To become a physician you will have to study
medicine for four and a half to six years. The competition for the seats is
high as well as required grades in most countries. In order to qualify for
the medical program you need a completed senior secondary education.

The Medical Internship
After completed medical education and before you receive a full
license to practice medicine as a physician, you need to participate in an
internship program which lasts from one to two years. If you study in a foreign
country and aim to work in your home country it is possible to carry out your
internship at home, which often qualifies you for a medical license in the
country where you practice.
Learning About Different Health Systems
Studying abroad as a medical student, you will learn a
considerable amount of information about patients' experiences under different
legal healthcare structures. Given possible upcoming changes in the healthcare
system, it could be additionally helpful to have experiences in practical
clinical work overseas to better understand the context of the changes.
Broadening Your Horizons
It sounds simple, but doing an internship overseas can provide a
unique cultural understanding that affects your subsequent training. Residents
surveyed in the above study stated that two years after completing an
international clinical rotation, the experience continued to positively impact
their awareness of cultural and socioeconomic factors and clinical and language
skills.
The Medical Specialist
After completing your medical degree, you are free to pursue any
number of specialties or go into the field of research. All specialties require
between three and six years of additional training after your completed
residency and obtained license. Specialization often involves an additional
post graduate degree on top of your medical degree, in addition to on the job
training at selected hospitals.
As a future doctor, communication, observation and interaction
will be the tools that help you become the best doctor. When studying at an
international university with advance technologies & world class faculty
you are exposed to different cultures, languages and people. This exposure
gives you the confidence to interact with your patients regardless of their
background.
Part of being an effective doctor is about connecting with your
patient. Being able to really listen and understand all the factors that may
have contributed to their condition. Without being able to listen and create
rapport with your patient, the patient will be less willing to speak. When you
study abroad, you automatically learn how to adapt and overcome any social
barriers.

MD & MS
and MD & MS in Abroad
Medical Study abroad can broaden clinical,
procedural, and cultural skills.
After completing MBBS along with internship in any hospital, the next big step is to get
admission in MD/MS of available specializations in
the various private medical colleges across India or in abroad.If you’re
interested in becoming a specialized doctor, you might choose to be a family
physician or a specialist, such as cardiologist or a neurologist. Whichever
your ambition, it will require a lot of education, but it’s worth the effort.MD
is the postgraduate degree in general medicine while MS is postgraduate degree
in general surgery. Both are pursued only after MBBS.
The prospects of MS and MD are generally the
same. A person who completes MS becomes a surgeon while the one who takes up MD
is a physician. A physician cannot be a surgeon, while surgeon can work in
place of a physician with more study of medicine.

studying medicine abroad is the chance to perfect your language skills – it’s
well known that immersing yourself in a country is a great way to work on
speaking the language fluently. And today’s global perspective means that quite
frankly the more languages you are fluent in – the better!
