| Hi Stephen! I got my degree on Medicine last May in the University of Buenos Aires UBA - I can say it has a lot of difficulties..and only 15% of the ppl that enters can get their degree, because it´s a matter of perserverance...it´s not only studying, but also standing the atmosphere itself!! Teachers are very very strict - this unviersity is the highest leveled in Latin America and one of the best in whole America - not because I was formed in it, but that is what statistics say!! on the other hand, I think the girl that told you that thing that we are missvalued in the world, i can totally reject that...we have thousands and thousands of doctors that emigrate to work in the best projects around the world; here doctors are not as well paid as they´re in Europe, but they´re really wanted in other countries to form investigation teams for example. If you have to choose between Bueno Aires and Córdoba, well...that´s difficult to say...most ppl come to Buenos Aires cuz it´s better known around the world, and you have all the "life" here. But Cordoba is a very nice province, quieter than here.
In UBA you have to make a course with 6 subjects (Maths, Physics, Biology, Philosophy, History and Sociology, and Chemistry); this last 1 year...if you do alright in all, you enter Medicine. The first year you hv Anatomy, Histology, Embriology, Genetics and Cellular Biology, and Mental Health. The second year you have Chemistry and Physiology (dunno how u write it!!). The third year you´ve got Microbiology (bacterias, virus, fungis, parasits, inmunology), Pathology I, Pharmacology I, and Bioethics I. Then you start to rotate in hospitals doing all the specialities. All in all it last 6 years + 1 year of course of entance. After that you´ve got to do the Internado Anual Rotatorio, which are practices, and then you sit for the all in all exam and get your matriculation. Well...jaja, I wrote too much!! I hope it was useful for u; I send you a hug and any doubt just write! |
