English-Medium MBBS in Russia — What to Check
Universities in Russia advertising "English medium" teach lectures in English, but the crucial detail is the clinical years: confirm that ward rounds and patient interaction also happen in English (or with proper support), not only the classroom theory. Clinical exposure in a language you understand directly affects both your learning and your FMGE readiness.
