The best dental universities in the world

Medicine consistently leads the list of “dream professions.” The most responsible school graduates strive to spend most of their lives in a white coat. Sociological studies show that a consistently high demand for medical specialties is not evident in all regions of the country. Among graduates from Moscow and St. Petersburg, for example, there are fewer people wishing to make a career in the doctoral field, while stability is observed within the professional community of doctors in these cities.

The regions are another matter: provincial youth still have a great desire to get one of the doctoral professions. And if there is a sufficient amount of knowledge for this or an emphasis is placed on paid education, then one question remains on the agenda - which university or academy to apply to.

Perhaps, initially thinking about entering a medical university, boys and girls are more obsessed with the idea of ​​​​being enrolled in the 1st year. Nevertheless, the fundamental factor in evaluating an educational institution should be the quality of education. People who understand this try to enter prestigious universities - of course, Moscow and St. Petersburg. The winners of the All-Russian and International Olympiads and other “golden” contingent who have the right to enter without competition also come here.

Reference: healthcare is the only area of ​​non-humanitarian education where the average Unified State Exam score exceeds o. In Russia, more than 75 universities of the Ministry of Health place excessive demands on the quality of basic knowledge of applicants. This indicates the undiminished prestige of the medical profession.

In the field of paid education, places were distributed as follows:

  • 32 thousand applicants in 2016 preferred economic specialties;
  • 20 thousand people leaned towards management;
  • 15.5 thousand are future doctors.

What do medical universities look like against the background of the overall rating from Expert RA?

The application of fundamental principles of methodological research and impartiality in assessment are two good reasons to consider the ratings of medical universities RAEX (Expert RA) as one of the most reliable. The opinion about educational institutions in the healthcare sector consisted of 3 characteristics:

  • quality of education;
  • research work;
  • demand by employers.

The group of respondents among whom the survey was conducted included graduates, students, teachers representing the scientific and academic board, and employers.

At the end of 2016, the top 100 included 16 best medical universities. As a result, the 2019 rating of medical universities in Russia based on the quality of education and other criteria is as follows:

Judging by the results of ratings compiled by the Expert RA agency over the past 4 years, the quality of education in medical universities has improved slightly, but has improved. In 2014, for example, in the TOP-100 there were 11 institutions producing certified doctors, and 2 years later the list of leaders was replenished with four new names.

In the first “twenty” ranking of the best universities in Russia, in the compilation of which only the quality of education was taken into account, there is one institution with a meduclone - the Academy. Pavlova in St. Petersburg (17th place).

The following is a list of 10 educational institutions of the Ministry of Health, which are extremely difficult to get into due to the highest passing score:

  1. First Moscow State Medical University named after I.M. Sechenov
  2. RNIMU named after. N.I. Pirogov.
  3. St. Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University.

The best among paid medical universities

The highest level of education is shown by educational healthcare institutions in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Kazan, Voronezh, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod, and Tver. In these cities, the medical profession is taught for a fee, and even applicants with the highest Unified State Exam scores get into “commerce.” The information was obtained as a result of monitoring conducted at the initiative of the Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency and the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

We present the top ten universities whose paid departments are difficult to get into due to inflated competitive scores:

  1. PSPbSMU named after. acad. I.P. Pavlova
  2. VSMA named after. Burdenko.
  3. MGMSU named after. A.I. Evdokimov.

It is impossible to become a doctor in absentia. In Russian universities there are a number of faculties where this form of training is acceptable, but, firstly, their number is gradually reduced to zero, and secondly, they train here not future therapists and dentists, but specialists with a conditionally medical profile - for example, nursing with an emphasis on management.

The best medical universities in the world

If you are planning a foreign career as a doctor, it is better to think about enrolling in another country. Domestic diplomas must be confirmed in a special way before being allowed to work. These TOP 10 universities are considered the best for young doctors. To get there you need to put in a lot of effort and perseverance.

Harvard University

Harvard is suitable for those who want to receive a modern medical education, taking into account international experience. For those who see themselves in pharmacology and other related sciences.

Available specialties:

Medical business.

The division into specialties differs from the Russian one. In America, the diploma does not specify any specialty. At the time of graduation, you simply become a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

How to proceed

To get into Harvard Medical School, you need to write a motivation letter and talk about your achievements in science and other areas of activity. You must also send to the university a copy of your school certificate, the results of the language exam, two recommendations from teachers, and an application in the prescribed form. There is a fee of $75, but it can be waived if you provide proof of low income. Some applicants are given an interview.

How the training works

Harvard has a whole system of teaching hospitals. There, students undergo continuous practice under the guidance of real doctors. At the same time, there are many offers for students not related to the main specialty, since training at Harvard Medical School is based on the Liberal Arts .

Oxford University

Lectures at Oxford are given by leading professors of medicine from around the world. This is what ensures high competition for one vacant position.

Available specialties:

Medical business.

How to proceed

In Britain itself they approach preparation for Oxford very responsibly; children study in special classes from the age of 12-13. But you can also try to submit documents from another country. You need to write an essay on a given topic or pass a test, which is compiled by the university itself. English exam results are attached to them. Admission takes place through the UCAS portal common to all UK universities. Application costs £60.

How the training works

The Basic Medicine course is designed for students who want to understand the scientific research behind modern medicine. A lot of effort is also expended on clinical practice in one's own system of hospitals and clinics, but one moves on to it only after receiving a bachelor's degree.

How highly valued is a diploma from a Russian medical university abroad?

Today, no body in the world has the authority to award international qualifications in the field of medicine. Considering this fact, the low status of a Russian university diploma and its inconvertibility should be accepted as a false and unsubstantiated judgment. With a similar myth, earlier, in Soviet times, government officials and interested structures tried to block the road to the West for qualified specialists.

It is not entirely correct to judge the quality of education in higher education institutions, as well as the prestige of the institution itself, by the awards and regalia awarded. The most objective evaluative factor is the practicing graduates - their work, career and achievements. Maintaining a high status is possible only with a constant presence in the market and progress in all areas, including research work and cooperation with “foreign countries”.

US legislation, for example, allows the employment of doctors with university degrees registered with WHO and the IMED-FAIMER agency (a body authorized by the state). Employers should not care which institution the applicant graduated from - Harvard or State Medical University in Krasnodar. The focus is not on the place of obtaining the diploma, but on professionalism and personal abilities. If the name of the institution is not on the WHO list, you should not count on the vacancy. Specifically, the name of the medical university should be mentioned in the Avicenna catalog (contains an extensive list of educational institutions in the world working in healthcare and other areas of activity) and in the WHO WorldDirectory of Medical-Schools.

An institution for education should be chosen based on the same criteria: if its name is not listed in the WHO catalogs, it loses its attractiveness among applicants and cannot claim prestige.

Registration of medical universities with WHO is carried out on the basis of an application submitted by a government body competent in resolving such issues. In Russia, this authority is the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The registration procedure itself is carried out automatically, but this process is sometimes artificially delayed for reasons known to the representatives of the international organization themselves. An example of this is the Faculty of Medicine of St. Petersburg State University: the year of its foundation is 1995, but it officially appeared on the WHO lists only in 2003, and in 2006, after a request from the administration, it was included in the IMED list.
