In Medicine, training is not only necessary but mandatory. In order to reach the professional field, you first need to study at one of the available universities to learn the basics of the profession. Theory is fundamental and must be complemented with practice during internship and social service. The sum of all of the above provides an overview of what you need to know to care for patients.
In that sense, the decision to want to dedicate yourself to this job for the rest of your life is momentous. Although once it is clear, the following aspect follows, which is to choose a suitable school.
Aspects to choose the best option
Currently there are many universities that offer this degree in our country. Among all of them you need to choose the most suitable for you. There are many parameters that you can take into account to decide on one. In the first instance it can be a public or private school and it all depends on your financial possibilities.
Similarly, another very important aspect is the location. Some young people tend to choose universities from the same entity or close to their home. While others have no problem moving as long as they are close to the campus of their choice.
The curriculum also influences because although many offer the Bachelor of Medicine, not all are the same. In fact, while in the majority the degree has a total duration of six years in others it extends to seven. That is why it is very important to analyze each school.
Universities with international prestige
While another parameter that influences the final decision is the prestige of each institution. Some are very well seen at the national level and even in other latitudes. The clearest sample is the QS World University Rankings. It is a work in which more than a thousand higher education schools around the world are analyzed.
