Nice video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see

Good content! Worth adding that there are 15 medical universities in Poland(as compared to 4 in Norway lol), and they vary a lot in terms of curriculum/quality. The general amount of clinical experience and bedside teaching is astonishing though.

[@usmanmalik7640]

is it worth studying medicine in poland or not

[@express2008]

@@usmanmalik7640 What kind of question is that? There are thousands of medical students studying in Poland. So it looks like quite a lot of people find it to be worth it. Now if it is worth it for you specifically is up to you to decide.

[@usmanmalik7640]

@@express2008 actually i have heard that poland medivine studies have low qaulity of education than other eu countries thats why i have asked this question

[@express2008]

@@usmanmalik7640 Lower in quality because of what? As of now Poland is 7th in EU by medical research, and 7th in the world by PISA results. The universities themselves of course vary in quality, like in any country. With the best ones like Jagiellonian and Warsaw being on a whole different level than Bialystok or Pomorskie.

[@houdaassem3869]

Yeah ! Ofc

[@anjaneekendall2441]

I’m an American and will be graduating from college with an undergraduate biomedical engineering degree (4 years of college) in a year. For reference, in America we also complete 4 years of high school before attending college. If I want to study medicine in Europe, do I need to retake all these science and math classes that I have already taken and still study for another 6 years or can I take a test to skip retaking classes and shorten my time in med school (in America, med school is for 4 years)?

[@sesaba]

You can go for 4 year program , Example : studymed.umed.pl/md-advanced/

[@samma995]

What do you mean?

[@winkydstanaccount5003]

@@samma995 If your condition is more complex than breastplasty or a cold you want a doc who is very smart. Not all universities are equal, not all doctors can do critical thinking, and critical thinking saves lives. Also, Uni Oslo is great on human rights. Poland right now, not so much. :/

[@samma995]

@@winkydstanaccount5003 I am afraid that your knowledge of the level of education and medical achievements in Poland is very negligible. Similarly, the opinion on freedom and human rights in Poland is shaped by the media and polarized leftist circles. I guarantee you that the freedom of the media in Poland, compared to Norway and Sweden, is simply exemplary. Unfortunately, they are polarized, but there are always 2-3 different views.

@@samma995 you asked, bro. Maybe the human rights bit was surprising but there you go.
