What Makes a Medical College Worth Choosing
Look past rankings to the fundamentals: is it NMC-approved, what is its FMGE pass rate, is clinical teaching genuinely in English, and does the attached teaching hospital give real hands-on time? A top-ranked college on these measures in Russia sets you up for both the FMGE and a working career far better than one chosen on brochures.
