Medical Study in Poland [22]
Having read through the posts, I have to mostly agree with z_darius :o)
Americans are charged stupidly high prices to attend there. Add that to the fact that your education will be looked down upon in the US compared to Western schools and that's reason enough not to waste your money
I doubt if anyone would look down on a Medical Qualification from such a prestigious University as Jagellonian.
I would not handicap myself with a degree from a second tier system. Lot's of people did that in the Caribbean and learned that they couldn't get residencies as well because of this
I, and many others, would not call Jagellonian Univ a second tier system, and I don't think it's fair to make a comparison between getting a medical degree from Mickey Mouse Caribbean Medical Schools/Colleges and the world renowned Jagellonian Univ.
A Polish medical education will NOT hold the same weight as a Western education would.
In general this may be the case, but when you talk about a medical education from Jagellonian then it's a different matter; hoever, z_darius correctly pointed out, there are many excellent Polish doctors/dentists etc working in Poland and also abroad and they are not employed simply because of low wages.
Americans who get a degree in Poland are not going to be as respected or get better jobs.
I would have to disagree with you on that; I have friends and family, some of whom obtained their training in Poland, that are in the medical profession working in England, US & Canada who would certainly disagree with you as well.
the US is the greatest importer of foreign skills and intellectuals and Poles are included among those.
Very true, and not just in the medical field. It's a known fact that Poland produces excellent IT professionals and many of these have been head-hunted by foreign companies in the past; they have been head-hunted for their expertise and not for low wages :o)
