WITH ALL the noise about higher education in the United Kingdom, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France and Ireland, Russia is being ignored. Don't ignore Russia, says the Chennai-based A.J. Trust Educational Consultancy, an organisation linked up with Russian medical universities. The trust said the Russian medical varsities had high educational standards and infrastructure while offering courses at affordable costs. "It is a boon to middle class students who secure good marks but are either unable to secure a merit seat in Indian medical colleges or are unable to afford capitation fees." Here are some features of medical education in Russia: No entrance examinations, English is the medium of instruction, duration of study is six years leading to the degree of M.D. (Physician) and there are opportunities for postgraduate studies in Russia or outside. One of the medical institutions is the Stavropol State Medical Academy, with nearly 3,500 Russian and 250 foreign students from 18 countries. The postgraduate facility of this Academy trains over 3,000 physicians a year. Source: The Hindu
