Six points for attention in applying for medical specialty in British universities

How do I apply to study medicine in the UK? What are the precautions? The following are six points for attention in providing you with medical application in British universities in time, hoping to help you!

1. Introduction of medical majors in British universities

The National Health Service (NHS) in Britain is the largest and fastest-growing health care service in Europe. British medical and nursing schools work with NHS to ensure that their education system meets the current national health care in Britain. The backbone of British medical training consists of 27 excellent medical schools. Among the students studying the courses offered by these colleges, there is one overseas student in every 13 undergraduates. Foreign doctors who have obtained medical qualifications in British medical schools can enjoy the same career development as graduates from Britain and European Economic Area countries. Britain has a long-standing reputation in nursing and midwifery. In England, 72 universities and colleges offer nursing and midwifery courses. British academic qualifications are highly praised, so you can work in most parts of the world.

Optional courses include

(1) Vocational courses. A few colleges set up new preparatory degree courses for medical and social care majors. It belongs to a new degree course in highly practical vocational qualifications, and is set up after close consultation with NHS, hospital trust institutions, social service departments and other employers.

(2) Undergraduate degree courses can pursue degree courses in the following disciplines: nursing, midwifery, chiropody, physiotherapy, radiology, practicing therapy or other occupations related to health care. Degree courses include both theory and practice, and generally last for three to four years. A degree in dentistry and medicine takes five years of practice.

(3) Postgraduate courses There are perfect postgraduate degree courses for overseas students in medicine, dentistry, nursing and all health-related occupations in the UK.

second, how to register as a British doctor?

There is no unified examination for undergraduate graduation, which is entirely decided by the university, but supervised by GMC (General Medical Council, www.gmc.uk.org). Graduates also go to many places, and some continue to study postgraduate (MPhil or PhD) and engage in research work instead of medical work; Others apply for an internship (also known as PRHO, Pre-registration House Officer or JHO, Junior House Officer). They must register through GMC and apply to the NHS (National Health Trust) hospital (that is, public hospital) on their own. The internship period is 12 months (paid), 6 months in internal medicine and 6 months in surgery. The positions mentioned above and below are published in BMJ (British Medical Journal, www.bmj.com) and Lancet (www.thelancet.com) for open competition.

those who pass the internship can apply to GMC for Limited Registration (that is, practice medicine under supervision) as SHO (Senior House Officer, equivalent to our resident) and receive Basic Specialist Training, which usually lasts for 3 years, and the length of each major varies. After completing the training for a specified number of years, you can apply for membership examination (that is, becoming the attending physician of a certain specialty) from various professional royal societies represented by RCP (Royal College of Physicians), such as MRCP (Member of the Royal College of Physicians), MRCS (Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons) and so on. Those who pass can accept Higher Specialist Training as SpR (Specialist Registrar) and practice medicine without supervision. After this stage of training, you can become a Consultant (equivalent to the chief physician), and the specialist training will basically come to an end. The rest is CME(Continuing Medical Education). During the whole training period, some people returned to medical school to study for graduate degrees such as MD(Doctor of Medicine) or MS(Master of Surgery) (equivalent to our on-the-job graduate students). Indeed, few people only trained without studying for degrees.

Medical schools in British universities have different positions for themselves. For example, the medical school of Oxford University has positioned itself to train high-level clinical medical research talents, and has maintained a small enrollment scale, enrolling only 15 students every year. Most medical schools aim at training clinicians, and clinical practice teaching generally accounts for more than half.

3. How does Dr. China get registered as a doctor in the UK?

First of all, you must have the basic requirements of medical education and language:

First, the medical school you are studying or graduating from must be recognized in the World Health Organization (WHO) list. This condition is not too difficult for doctors in China, because the medical school recognized by the World Health Organization is also recognized by the Ministry of Education and the Health Bureau of China. China's current general policy does not recognize private medical schools.

Second, one of the requirements for applying for a British doctor's license is that a medical college graduate must have 12 months of clinical practice or hospital work experience. In the requirements of applying for the British registered doctor examination, it is not as difficult as imagined to obtain the examination qualification.

Third, you must pass English before you can apply for the British doctor registration examination. The minimum score of IELTS score must be 7 points in oral English, 6 points in listening, 6 points in reading and 6 points in writing, with an average score of 7 points. Therefore, you must meet the above three basic conditions of medical education, internship experience and English proficiency before you can apply for the British doctor registration examination.

the content of the British doctor's examination is divided into two parts: the first part of the examination has 2 questions, and it uses different cases to find the answers from each medical record by multiple-choice method. The time allowed for the exam is two and a half hours. You must have rich clinical knowledge to find the correct answer in multiple-choice questions. The first part of the exam only tests your clinical medical knowledge and theory.

The second part of the exam will test your actual clinical adaptability. If you can successfully pass the first step and get an average score of 7 on IELTS, we believe that the second step of the exam will not be a big challenge for Dr. China. First of all, Dr. China used to take turns in each ward during his internship, so all kinds of medical records will not be too strange to them. Secondly, to successfully pass the first-step exam, you should at least know 5, to 1, different case exam questions, which is very helpful for the second-step exam. In the second step, you will be placed in fourteen different wards, and the special symptoms of patients will be written in front of the wards. Under the monitoring and questioning of the examiner, you must make an accurate diagnosis within a specified time and communicate with the examiner. Each room has a separate examiner. When you finish these 14 medical records exams, the examiner will give you a total result. We can see that the first step and the second step of the exam are to assess the doctor's comprehensive knowledge and adaptability, as a western doctor with the conditions.

At present, there are no test sites in China, and overseas test sites are only located in six test sites: Bulgaria, Egypt, India, Nigeria (Africa), Pakistan and Sri Lanka. British local examination points are mainly located in London, Birmingham and Edinburgh in the UK.

The first part of the exam can be taken at overseas test centers. After successfully passing the first part of the exam, the second part of the exam must be taken in the UK. No matter in overseas test sites or British test sites, there are a lot of applicants every year, and they will soon be full. Also, Dr. China should never be overly concerned about sex, and must make full preparations before the exam. Because the British doctor registration examination is only a qualified or unqualified score line, every qualified score line will not be made public. If your score in the first step of the exam is too far behind that of the people taking the exam at the same time, the examination unit will ask you to wait four months before re-applying. When you take the second step, if you fail four times in a row, you will be charged for the first step and IELTS score. You must take the exam from the beginning.

Examination content:

The examination outline * * * has sixteen areas, including 1. Trauma and emergency medicine; 2, blood disease; 3. Cardiovascular diseases; 4. Dermatosis, allergic diseases and immune diseases; 5, ophthalmology and otolaryngology diseases; 6. Gastrointestinal tract, hepatobiliary system and nutritional diseases; 7. Metabolic diseases; 8. Neurological diseases; 9. Orthopedic surgery; 1. Mental illness; 11. Kidney disease; 12. Reproductive diseases; 13. Respiratory diseases; 14. Pediatric diseases; 15. Elderly diseases; 16. Perioperative management. The content of the exam is very extensive, and it is a common case for British doctors in the ward.

The process of obtaining a British registered doctor should be as follows:

(1) First, obtain a passport to go abroad. (2) Pass the IELTS test in the UK or at home. (3) Apply for the qualification of the British registered doctor examination. (4), to participate in the first and second parts of the British doctor registration examination training. (5), to the UK for the first part, the second part of the exam. (6) Those who pass the exam find a hospital employer in the UK. (7) Finally, I successfully applied for a British doctor's license.

It's best for doctors in China to spend three to six months in China to enrich themselves and make full preparations for the British doctor registration examination.

fourth, how to apply for a master's degree in medical nursing in British universities?

Many universities and colleges in the UK offer courses in nursing and midwifery, and work closely with the NHS service system. The vast majority of colleges and universities will provide students with internship opportunities in the hospital during their study to ensure that students receive practical work ability training during their study and can adapt to the working environment immediately after graduation.

There are many institutions that evaluate the professional rankings of British universities. Here are two rankings for your reference: The Times overall ranking of nursing majors and The Guardian ranking of nursing masters.

The entrance requirements for nursing major in Britain are relatively high, with IELTS score above 6.5; Students who graduate from domestic colleges and universities need at least five to ten years' work experience to apply for a master's degree in nursing, and undergraduate graduates need about three years' work experience to apply for a master's degree in nursing.

The nursing specialty in Britain is divided into ordinary care, mental health nursing, disability nursing, children nursing and obstetric nursing.

In the field of nursing and midwifery, there are Postgraduate Diploma and master's degree (MA) courses, as well as research-oriented master's degree and doctoral degree (MSc) courses, including nursing management, nurse education, cancer nursing and advanced midwifery.

Nurses' qualifications

There is a shortage of nursing professionals in Britain. In order to recruit qualified foreign nursing professionals, the British Ministry of Health has specially issued the Code of Practice, which has a series of requirements for foreign nurses' professional skills and language.

If you want to work as a nurse or midwife in the UK, you must pass the clinical supervision internship assessment of the British Council of Nurses and Midwives for three to six months, learn the knowledge of relevant British laws and regulations, illness records, ethics and pharmacy management, and obtain the qualification of registered nurses in the UK before you can work in a British medical institution.

5. Are there any medical majors in British universities that you can recommend? What are the admission conditions?

UCL (University College of London)

The medical research level of UCL is far ahead in the world. UCL used to have many high-level medical research institutions, such as Pediatric Research Institute, Neurology Research Institute, eastman Dental Research Institute and Ophthalmology Research Institute. In 1998, the medical college of UCL and the medical college of Royal Free Hospital were successfully merged into a new medical college. This achievement, together with many existing medical research institutions of UCL (Pediatric Research Institute, Neurology Research Institute, eastman Dental Research Institute and Ophthalmology Research Institute), Make UCL one of the leading biomedical research centers in the world. In fact, 65% of UCL's income comes from biomedicine. Ten Nobel laureates in physiology and medicine have studied or engaged in scientific research in UCL. The school's ace majors include cell biology, neuroscience, physiology and pediatrics. Neurology and Ophthalmology. The strong biomedical advantages of UCL have been significantly consolidated with the relocation of the National Center for Medical Research (NIMR) from Millhill to UCL. This first and largest laboratory, founded by the Medical Research Association in 1913, has won five Nobel Prizes. Today, it has more than 7 researchers and an annual budget of 27 million pounds.
