[@Maryjohns1212]

I just love your videos! you are so informative and helpful. literally cleared a lot of points I either had no idea exits or I had an unclear view on. so thankyou so muchhhh

[@AcadIMAT]

Wow thank you so much for the kind comment! Glad it was helpful :)

[@user-hv4td7el6o]

Thanks. I'm really enthusiastic about a ceritain speciality and I know the best oportunity is to make yourself exposed to the people and situations. I'm happy that Italy is based on this system because it's been always my method of learning even when I was in highschool I used to check other major classes that I knew is gonna be related to my future major or the other professor which isn't in our faculty is an expert in a subspeciality and I shouldn't lose the golden opportunity of learning things from her.

Please make a video about deadlines of different universities and training how enroll in the university, IMAT, and scholarship. Thank you so much for your informative videos.

i am Brazilian! and im thinking about studying medicine in Italy. your videos are being crucial for this decision. its nice to know that even if I go to Italy I can get back to my country by a university program. what university are you coming here in Brazil?

[@Furios13124]

You can get back but you should keep in mind that revalida isn’t easy (although I dont believe your first thought as a italian doctor would be to came back)

[@melpelegrini1230]

Oii Isabela! Você decidiu cursar med na Itália? Como foi para você obter todas as informações, quanto ao processo de ingresso e documentação?

[@zuhajabeen3608]

So i wanted to ask that.. 1)those practical experience count as internship or we have to do internship a whole year making it a 7 years of medicine in Italy? 2) are people of Italy okay with muslims and hijab or are we gonna face issues with that? 3) m just curious..why are u in turkey like are u practising there ...can we do that inspite of studying in Italy? Can we practice anywhere (without completing studies, then after we finish the practicals we can come back to Italy)is it something like that? 4) how much Imat score can get me into sapienza? Pls reply ❤️

[@chiaraprocopio9424]

Hey! I can only answer question n2 as I am Italian but have lived abroad almost my whole life and am now here to study medicine - I hope this helps. The short answer is: yes, it is likely that you’ll face some issues. Italy is at its roots a very very catholic country and even though the church is not that relevant anymore, traces of it are still present here and there (for a bit of reference, church and government are independent from one another, but their relationship is mediated by a treaty from 1929 called ‘Patti Lateranensi’ which basically declare Catholicism as state religion and favours it in many ways, yet allowing space for other religions to exist within the country). Italy is becoming increasingly multicultural which has obviously made the presence of all kinds of people, religions and habits way more accepted - yet i am sadly sure you will likely face some form of stereotype or racism (on a social level) due to the way you look and/or present yourself. This is not to imply that it’s not at all accepting, just not 100%. On a positive note, you would be in a university environment so you’ll be around young people who - unlike older generations - grew up with multiculturalism so you should feel accepted and at ease even when in Caucasian-dominated groups of people. Furthermore, IMAT has a bunch of international students so it’s a very diversity-prone environment. Also, from what I’ve been told, northern Italy is a bit more welcoming than southern Italy towards diversity so maybe take that into consideration when making your choice. This is in no way meant to scare you off from studying in Italy as it is an amazing country with so much to offer. Best of luck x

[@AcadIMAT]

There is a post-grad video we just released that briefly talks about the process, but basically it's the same from any of the universities, where to appy she'll have to sit Step 1, Step 2CK, possibly 3, do clerkships in the US, and get a recommendation letter.

Hi , my daughter was accepted at unicamillus university in medicine and surgery. I have some concerns , however I would really appreciate your opinion on this university ( I did watch your interview for unicamillus)

[@georgesamy4923]

but if you enter the course program there is alot of clinical hours how weird is that please ???? may be for foriegner because italian and non italians resident in italy are treated equally and have the right to study if for example there is 50 places it is for italians and resident .

[@joneill2576]

A lot of medical programs place half of the learning program to focus on training in clinical settings. You are really just trying to brush over the lack of clinical sessions in Italian medical program by saying that you need good theoretical foundations. Doctors do not need to be experts in biology or biochemistry or anatomy. There are biologists or biochemists or researchers for that purpose. What makes doctors different are the clinical skills which all the others lack. Without good exposure to clinical skills, how would you know which specialisations you prefer to do? How can you apply your theoretical learnings by not being trained at clinical settings in your medical school years? Foundation years are also used to build on the existing clinical skills that you learn in medical schools. It will be very tough to learn the basics in foundation years when you don't have the basic clinical trainings that are supposedly taught in medical schools. US, UK, Irish and Australian medical schools spend half of their time in hospitals to acquire clinical skills. There is a reason why Italian doctors can refer to textbooks when treating patients and Italians don't trust the Italian doctors as much as they are not as strong in clinical skills.

[@georgesamy4923]

Many people come Italy for treating and it produce fantastic doctors amazing and has excellent healthcare outcomes. She says understand well that you have a high theoretical knowledge meaning you attend clinics but you don't try it by your hand you just see what doctor do . After graduation you will gain experience by applying what you have studied in theory and by this system it produced some of the best doctor the world has ever seen , that is the reality.

[@georgesamy4923]

The best interventional cardiologist is Italian and you are saying how ??and how?? It has leading healthcare centers like rizzoli and you are making doubts European cardiology accredited Italy for training doctors and you are saying doubts it is a system has advantages and disadvantages but the output is amazing.

why you did not reply ??? after graduating you will acquire experience by applying your theoreticall knowldge

I am a second-year medical student, if I sit the IMAT exam, would it be possible to continue from second year or start afresh?

It depends on a lot of different factors, mainly if the university will grant you exemptions for the subjects you have already completed

Fantastic video! I’m from Ireland myself currently pursuing my undergraduate. I’m thinking of studying medicine in Italy after because honestly I simply don’t want to pursue the GAMSAT after so many tries with the HPAT. Just a couple of questions 1. Does Italy take post graduate students or do you have to be straight from high school? 2. Can I come back to Ireland for my training/does Ireland recognise the Italian med degree? Thanks 🥳

[@Hungry_doughnut]

Hi! Student from Italy here. Italian universities take anyone who has a high school diploma and has passed the test, there are many who have already another degree that enroll in medicine
