easy way out??

"cos"? what do u mean? It kinda took me a while to understand what the post was about.

Is this a real Medical School that you are referring to? What is the name of it?

 

This is possibly the wierdest post I have ever read.

 

what are you talking about?

 

I think you're high.

 

I think you put periods where commas belong and commas where periods belong and letters where words belong

 

i wouldnt want to do this. i would have rather tested my luck and see if i got into a cali school....(which i did...)

 

give the poster a break...apparently he/she is from malaysia and must not know english well. does that even make sense?

some funny comments though...

 

cos= adjacent/hypotenuse.

 

Actually Ben Gurion University in Israel has something similar to that: You do your basic science years in Israel, and then your clinical rotations at Columbia P&S-affiliated hospitals. However, you have to learn Hebrew along the way. I'm actually interested in the program because I'd love to live in Israel for a year or two, but programs like these worry me because I'm not sure how much harder it is to get good residency.

 

your considered a foreign graduate with the ben gurion columbia program.

 

From what I gathered during my research into these programs (mostly during my freak out not-going-to-get-accepted phase) they are not very well regarded by residency committees, and most of them give you the unsavory title of "foreign graduate" (I guess its only unsavory if you want to practice in the US). The main problem with them is that the U.S. is the hardest country to obtain a medical license in, and it is even harder if you didn't go to a U.S. accredited school where they are teaching toward the licensing exams (or at least with them in mind).
