What do medical students need to prepare for going abroad? For example, what did you take?

I have been a counselor in medical college for many years and have been troubled by this problem. I talked about this topic with a friend who has worked in the United States for many years.

There are two conclusions: 1, this road is really feasible (the United States recognizes that our five-year undergraduate students can apply for the doctor's license examination, which has a successful precedent); 2. For China students, the difficulty lies not in the examination (good English), but in the selection of residents (hospital recruitment is somewhat subjective).

I searched some related information on the internet today. I just took a casual look. I didn't mean to encourage you to go to America. Just think about the system of being a doctor in America.

The following contents are transferred from the network (please correct me):

How to become a doctor in America?

1. Foreword: To become a doctor in the United States, most states require residency.

The conditions for choosing American residents are:

1. Have you ever worked as an intern in an American hospital?

2. Do you have a letter of recommendation?

3. Whether there are papers published.

4. Whether Stepⅰ& Stepⅱ Ⅱ of 4.USMLE get high marks.

Second, the feasible ways to apply for the right of abode:

1. He completed the training and examination of Step I&II in China, passed TOEFL550, applied for a B- 1 tourist visa from the American embassy (consulate) in China, obtained the ECFMG certificate from the American CSA, directly participated in the selection of American residents at the beginning of each year, and went to work in the United States with H- 1 work visa after being hired by American hospitals.

2. Apply directly to American universities for doctoral or basic medical research, use F- 1 student visa to go to the United States, and use the time in the United States to complete step I &；; ⅱ& amp； After obtaining the ECFMG certificate, TOEFL and CSA participated in the national selection of residents and worked in the United States.

Suggestion: First complete the first step in China; Ii. Training and examination to reduce the pressure and economic burden of the United States. (American training step ⅰ&; Ii expensive)

3. Medical students at school can exchange opportunities with American schools by cooperation, no matter 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc. And try their best to study in the United States. Take J- 1 to America and return home when it is due. On the one hand, it increases the cost of resident selection in the United States (because of the experience of studying in American hospitals, it is easier to get letters of recommendation). On the other hand, it has also increased the credit in the United States (because of returning to the United States on time), and it will be easy to get a visa when applying for going to the United States in the future.

4. On-the-job doctors can apply for a J- 1 visa to go to the United States through the cooperative relationship between hospitals and American hospitals, or by medical institutions such as the Medical Association. Usually they can get 1 ~ 2 years of study time, and take advantage of the opportunity to study in the United States to pass Step I &；; ⅱ& amp； TOEFL test. CSA obtained ECFMG certificate. J- 1 There are two ways to study in the United States: the first way is to participate in the selection of American residents. The second way is to apply for J- 1 exemption and work for the American state government. Since June 2003, there have been 1500 foreign doctoral places every year.

Third, the conclusion:

1, February, 2004.1,Step2 exam will be changed. CSA exam will be merged into step 2 and become the CS exam in step 2. The original Step2 exam was called the CK exam of Step2, which means that Step2 will become CK and CS.

2. Passing the exams of Step 1 and Step2 is another way for you to enter a foreign-funded hospital.

USMLE Examination —— The Process of Successfully Obtaining American Medical License

Introduction to USMLE exam

USMLE (American Medical Licensing Examination) is the most authoritative medical licensing examination in the United States. Sponsored by NBNE (National Medical Examination Board) and FSMB (American State Medical Education Committees), it is also a formal medical examination supervised by ECFMG (Education Committee for Foreign Medical Graduates). Other medical institutions in the world also recognize this exam, which is authoritative and highly recognized. Generally, only medical students and graduates are eligible to take the exams approved by American medical institutions. Once you pass the USMLE exam, you can get a license to practice medicine in the United States, which means that you have joined the ranks of high-income doctors in the United States since then.

USMLE exam structure

The exam is divided into four stages, Step 1, Step2, CSA and Step3. Step 1 and Step2 can be tested in test sites all over the world. At present, the domestic test sites are: Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The total score of this part of the exam should be at least 75 points, which is equivalent to 60%~70% of all questions. Step3 is only held in the United States.

Step1:about 8 hours, * * * points 10 courses, with at least 182. (equivalent to a passing score of 75 points)

Basic medicine: anatomy, behavioral science, biochemistry, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology, physiology, nutrition, genetics, geriatrics.

Step2ck: About 9 hours, * * * divided into 6 courses, with a score of at least 182. (equivalent to a passing score of 75 points)

Clinical medicine: internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, preventive medicine, psychiatry, surgery.

Step 1 and Step2 are generally divided into several sections, each of which is 30~60 minutes long. The rest time for each exam is 45 minutes, including lunch. It is arranged by the candidates themselves. But only between parts. If candidates can finish each part in advance, the rest of the time can also be used as a rest time. You can't retake the same step within 60 days, you can't retake the same step three times in one year, you can't retake the passed step, you can keep your passing grade for seven years, and you can't change your visa or refund your fee after the exam time is determined.

Step2cs (Clinical Skills Assessment) is the assessment of doctors' diagnostic skills;

You must pass the first and second steps and TOEFL before you can enter the exam. The exam is only applicable to Philadelphia, USA. The purpose of this exam is to explain the data of clinical patients and the ability to communicate with patients in English. Mainly to test the doctor's clinical practice knowledge. * * * Divided into 1 1 station, each station is 25 minutes (consultation: 15 minutes, record: 10 minutes), and the score is calculated by 10 station. In fact, the examiner will score according to the various skills of the candidates:

Oral English ability (only focusing on communication and understanding)

◆ Understanding of medical records (skills of interviewing patients)

◆ Communication skills

◆ Physical examination

◆ Patient's disease record

The evaluation result of this test is only "passed" or "failed", and it will be notified 6-8 weeks after the test, and the result will be kept for 3 years. (The test time is 6 hours)

Step 3: Test the applicant's practical working ability. The contents include collecting medical history, physical examination, diagnosis and treatment measures, and state medical regulations. It usually takes two days. Because the test questions are multiple-choice questions judged by computers, most of them are the best multiple-choice questions and compatibility questions (BC type). Familiarity with the form of test questions and grading standards is another subject that needs to be prepared.

Candidates who want to take the third step exam can contact FSMB (Federal State Medical Committee) or directly contact the State Medical Committee. Due to the different standards of review in different continents, there are some evasive techniques. Candidates have a lot of work to prepare for the exam, so they must make a systematic and targeted review according to the specific scope of the exam.

Through these processes, we can see that these exams are to assess the comprehensive knowledge and adaptability of doctors, which is a condition of western medicine.

If you want to get a registered doctor in the United States, the required procedure should be:

1. Passed the first and second exams and TOEFL in China. 2. Participate in the third-stage training and examination of the American Medical Registration Examination. The person who passed the exam found a hospital employer in America. Finally, I successfully applied for a doctor's license in the United States.

Usmel, it's hard. Come on!
