International students apply for medical major.
The British medical school has a five-year academic system, including two years of pre-clinical, learning basic medical knowledge; During the three-year clinical period, students were divided into several groups and rotated in major teaching hospitals. In addition, British medical education attaches great importance to communication with patients, cultivating students' sympathy and humanistic care, and attaching importance to scientific research education. Students who are still unable to engage in clinical work after graduation will enter the basic project and receive two years of basic residency training. The whole of Britain is divided into 15 regions, and graduates from all over the country fill in these regions while filling in their college entrance examination volunteers. The first year mainly strengthens the knowledge and skills acquired in undergraduate teaching; The second year focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of emergency patients, and cultivates the abilities of teamwork, time management, interpersonal communication and information technology.
After the end of the basic course, all students need to find jobs again and can start to divide subjects. If you choose internal medicine or surgery, you need core medical training or core surgical training (2 years). After that, you can take the membership exams of the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Surgeons respectively. If you become a member, you can find a job as an attending doctor (registered). Usually, internal surgery needs 3-5 years of training before it can be refined (such as respiratory medicine and urology). ). If it is not internal surgery, the training is relatively simple, such as pathology (5 years), community doctors (3-5 years), biochemistry (that is, examination, 5 years), imaging (5 years), dermatology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, gynecology, pediatrics, etc. (about 5 years).
The training of general practitioners and specialists in Britain is relatively independent. It takes 10 years to become a general practitioner and 15 years to become a specialist (including medical school education).
There is no uniform entrance examination for medical schools in Britain, and all medical schools can choose independently. However, in order to ensure "elite education", students who choose independently must have excellent academic performance, moral record and psychological quality. There are more than 100 universities in Britain, but only more than 20 universities can offer clinical medicine. Or it can be said that only top universities can offer medical majors; And strictly control the enrollment scale. For example, Oxford University only enrolls about 150 medical students every year.
The backbone of British medical training consists of 27 excellent medical schools. Among the students in these schools, there are 1 overseas students for every 13 undergraduates. Foreign doctors who have obtained medical qualifications in British medical schools can enjoy the same career development as graduates from Britain and European Economic Area countries. As foreign students, China students, like local high school graduates, need to apply for admission to medical schools and apply for medical, dental and veterinary science/medicine courses through UCAS (British University Admissions Association). Only four courses are allowed (the fifth course must be a major in different fields), and the application must be submitted before June 65438+1October 65438+May every year. The hospital decides whether to admit students according to their A-level scores, letters of recommendation and interview performance. Students applying for medicine often have interviews and school exams, most of which are psychological tests to examine their resilience.
