When students ask about studying
medicine outside India, my first piece of advice is always to proceed with
caution. No matter where you are in the world, the best course of action is to
study medicine in the country where you intend to practice. The field of
medicine is highly regulated by governments and medical education is often
subsidized, which limits the numbers of seats available for non-citizens.
