3. GLOBALLY RECOGNISED FIELD
All over the world, there is a great uniformity of
medical science knowledge and practice. This means
that by graduating from a medical college in Russia
you can find a job and work in any hospital in America
or anywhere else in the world. Something inaccessible
to many other disciplines. Furthermore, the largest
part of medical literature is in English and most of the
basic medical terms are in Latin. You will get
acquainted with English and Latin during your studies
so that words like vertebrae or patella will be general
knowledge to you and to a doctor on the other side of
the world.
4. A great need for good doctors
The world needs more doctors. The situation in India is
bad compared to some other countries like
USA/UK/EUROPE. Certain specialisations are
becoming insufficient locally and globally, such as
paediatricians, oncologists, immunologists and
gynaecologists.
5. Stable job and safe career
Another pertinent reason to study medicine is a
certain stability upon graduation. This reason is
becoming even more prominent in countries still
coping with recession and difficulties for young people
to find a job. Not to mention that students are
attracted to doctors’ salaries which start at 100,000
USD/year in EU countries and 160,000 USD/year in
the US.
6. Status and respect in society
Doctors are seen as a symbol of dignity, responsibility
and service towards the community. Members of
every local community are aware of the hard work and
sacrifices that the medical professional goes through
to achieve and maintain this job at an efficient level.
Therefore, their positions and opinions relating to the
welfare of the community are taken into serious
consideration, as well as their example in behaviour
and moral standing.
