I have been accepted into the fine Medical University of Leuven, Belgium

[SoreArms]

congrats playa!

tip:
only hire hot nurses to work for you and have orgies on top of passed out patients in the middle of surgery.

 

[samoth]

Good job! Congrats!

We have to graduate from university just to get into med school.

it all balances out in the end of the degree and i think the time/knowledge does as well

 

[HS Lifter]

Good Job RJ!

 

[supersizeme]

Congrats...well done!!

I did.

things work differently here.
We can go from a higher level of HS, say comparable to US Honours class, straight to uni, if we qualify, to study medicine.

I think in the USA you have to be in college for a while first or something. It all evens out in the end. It will be 10-11 years at least before I am a practising surgeon, endo, ob/gyn, anything.
6 years to become a Dr. however then you can't work. you have no specialism. It takes 4 years from there to become for instance a surgeon.
Being a community doc, what do you call those- GP?
takes 6+2 years and being something hardcore like a radiologist or cardiologist is 6+6 years.

Dude, don't be a ob/gyn unless you like staring at lots of nasty gineytown. But then again, I don't think you have as many disgusting women over there.

 

[Robert Jan]

haha. I don't plan to be an ob/gyn. I'm not entirely certain I won't be either though.
We don't have as many fat people, but we still have used up people and STD's...

You guys thanks I hadn't expected all this reaction.

 

[Becoming]

haha. I don't plan to be an ob/gyn. I'm not entirely certain I won't be either though.

Congrats bro... It is a long road ahead, but I am sure you will do well...

Do you have any idea ultimately what you might want to specialize in?

(I know there is a long road ahead and it will probably change)

 

[Robert Jan]

At the time I don't know. I don't even know yet if I want to do research or being a practising doctor.

In Canada it works the same way as Europe. Once you finished HS you get go to med school. It's 5 years plus 2 as a trainee if I'm correct. It's not that hard to get in (not as hard as many folks think), but it's just that few people actually think 7 years of hard studying are worth the crappy pay check you get after (thank to socialized medicine).
