Which one would be better for my future ?

Question

I did 3 years of 6 years medical course in Russia due some reasons I didn't complete it. Please tell me if continuing my medical course in under-developed country like Russia is better or to start with a new course like nursing, health science in a developed country is better?

Answer 1

Depends where you want to work! Stay in Russia if you want to work there, but I can tell you that different countries have different requirements for certain professions especially health and that while your half medical degree from Russia may get your foot in the door- if you are competing against someone wth a degree from that country you probably dont have a chance-and would most likely have to go back and start another degree in the new country anyway to get up to speed with their health standards.

Beware that starting another degree will cost you time, money, and depending on your level of dedication (you didnt complete your 6 yr degree-this doesnt look so hot)you may not succeed, your half finished degree may actually hurt your prospects. You may also suffer from the language barrier in the new country- in a strict profession like medicine, clear language skills are vital....Id suggest you maybe consider why you are doing medicine-is it because you want to and love it and have a drive and passion for it or is it because you want to be Dr somebody? Or its a 'good income' or looks good to others.

If you do have the drive and dedication then finishing your degree in Russia will look better to future overseas employers (ie shows you can stick it out) and even if you then have to take further training in a new country you will have a handle on the major concepts , that way you will build on a solid foundation, but it really depends where you want to live and work and where you can (legally) live and work. Contact hospitals in the new country and ask for feedback on skill requirements for overseas trained doctors...oh and Good Luck!

Answer 2

I would finish your medical course in Russia. Then if you feel like it, go back and start a new course like nursing or health science elsewhere. Best wishes to you!
