Agh, I hit the back button and my reply has gone.
I wouldn't mind studying 8+ years. It's fine with me as long as it gets me where I want to be.
j8ear, the UK is abolishing the MRCP examinations. Foreign students (I'm from Malaysia - commenwealth even) would be having difficulty obtaining a place in the UK to further their studies in a specialist field. They would rather take in their own students. The usual case would be a Malaysian to come back to Malaysia and take the exam locally under the British Council. It will be acknowledged by the Royal Colleges (i.e. Glasgow, Edinburgh..) and recognised.
No longer because the system is being abolished. A new system would pose more obstacles for a foreign student to pursue medicine in the UK.
I appreciate all your replies.
Thanks. Thanks thanks.~
edit : once again, what I've got is mainly hearsay. I will go soon to my local British Council to confirm on the statement!
