Novosibirsk state medical university v/s other russian universities

Okay, so you're thinking about med school in Russia? Good idea! It's a wonderful way to get a good education without entirely emptying your bank account. But here's the thing: Russia has a lot of med schools. So how do you pick the best one?

 

You've probably heard of Novosibirsk State Medical University (NSMU). Now you're wondering, "Is this just another Russian med school, or is there something unique about it?" Let's cut through the boring brochures and get realistic about whether NSMU is worth your time.

 

First, the Good News About Russian Med Schools (In General):

 

•  Way Cheaper: Let's be realistic, the greatest appeal is the price. Russian medical schools are significantly less expensive than most Western schools.

•  They've Been Doing This for Ages: Russia has been educating doctors for many years. It's not as if they just began doing this recently.

• Your Degree Will (Probably) Be Recognized: The majority of Russian medical degrees are recognized internationally, and you can practice in a myriad of different countries. However (and this is a BIG however) you'll have to check with your home country's medical board. Don't take their word for it.

•  You'll Learn a Lot: They've got a solid curriculum that covers all you'd need to know to become a doctor.

 

So, What's So Special About NSMU?

 

Okay, so most of the Russian med schools have those going for them. What makes NSMU stand out from the crowd? Well, according to that website you gave:

 

• It's Got History (and Lots of It): This place has been around for over 85 years. That's a long time. It's a sign that they've probably got what they're doing right.

• It's in a Cool City (No, Really!): Novosibirsk isn't just some random city in the middle of nowhere. It's a big city with a lot going on. It's a scientific, cultural, and industrial hub. That means that there are things to do, people to see, and maybe even some cool research opportunities.

• They have good accreditations: But ALWAYS do your own research before deciding

 

But Wait, There's More! (Questions You Have to Ask)

 

Okay, so NSMU sounds quite cool, right? Don't start packing your bags yet, though. Here are some questions you need to ask yourself (and maybe ask NSMU too):

 

•  Is it Really Recognized in My Country? Seriously, double-check. This is the most important thing.

• What's the City Really Like? Okay, yeah, Novosibirsk's a big city, but what's it like to actually live there? Is it safe? Is it easy to get around? What's the vibe like?

• What Will I Actually Learn? Get into the curriculum nitty-gritty. What are the professors like? What kind of clinical experience will you get?

•  How Will They Help Me? What kind of help do they offer to foreign students? Will they help you with your visa? Will they help you find housing? Will they help you learn Russian?

•  How Much Will it Really Cost? Don't just think about tuition. Think about everything: living expenses, air travel, visa fees, textbooks, etc.

 

NSMU vs. the Competition: How to Choose?

 

So how do you decide if NSMU is right for you? Here is a simple step-by-step procedure:

 

1. Make a List: Put down all that is important to you in a medical school.

2. Do Your Research: Find out as much as you can about NSMU and a few other Russian medical schools.

3. Compare and Contrast: Compare the schools based on your list.

4. Make a Decision: Choose the school that best fits you.

NSMU could be ideal for you. It's affordable, it's established, and it's in a cool city. However, it's no panacea. You need to do your research, ask the right questions, and make sure that it's the correct fit for you.

 

Good luck! I hope you get to wear that white coat.
