Program overview
The General Medicine program at Eastfield Medical Institute trains international students to become doctors over six years. The first years cover the medical sciences: anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and pathology. Later years move into clinical subjects in hospitals linked to the university, and the final year is a clinical internship. The program for international students is taught in English.
Program structure
Years one to three focus on the basic medical sciences. Years four and five are mostly clinical, with rotations in internal medicine, surgery, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology and other specialties. Year six is the clinical internship.
Employment opportunities
Graduates usually go home to sit their licensing exam (FMGE/NExT in India, NLE in Pakistan and so on) and then work or specialise. Some go on to postgraduate training abroad.
