Indian medical schools are interesting - I don’t know how they can do what they do.
They have, essentially, open admissions. And anyone who doesn’t drop out graduates.
But their academic standards are very high, more British than the British, and class rank tells the tale.
Top students from their good schools are as good or better that their US counterparts. They are chiefs of service at top flight US teaching hospitals. Some of the best physicians and surgeons I have worked with (for 50 years this coming 7/1) are from Indian or Pakistani med schools.
So what about the not-so-good ones, the counterparts of Americans who don’t get into US schools or who don’t graduate?
In India, they’re MDs out running what amount to first aid stations in villages or helping arrange public sanitation.
It’s really different from how we do things, but their best are among the world’s best.
I am curious. If an American wanted to attend an Indian medical school, would he have to speak one of the Indian languages, or would he get by in English? It’s starting to sound like American white males will have to look outside of the U.S. to be accepted into medical school.
