Korean medical equipment is respected
South Korea is one of the
most advanced countries
in the field of medicine
and healthcare. Every
year
thousands
of
students from all over the
world come to Korea to
study medicine. The
reason is the high quality
of medical education in
South Korea.

4.

Why study medicine in Korea?
• Firstly, you will be able to
get a fundamental and
serious education, which is
appreciated all over the
world. In most cases,
medical education in Korea
takes at least 7 years and
consists of several stages.
• Secondly, it is easy to gain
practical experience and
build a professional career
in South Korea.

5.

Highly qualified specialists
In South Korea, it is very difficult to
become a practicing doctor in Korea.
Successful graduation from the
university
does
not
guarantee
employment. Only a minority of
students reach the end of their studies.
Full training, including internship and
residency, lasts 11 years, but only
those who have completed an
internship in leading hospitals in the
USA, Europe or Canada can count on
a position in a good clinic. Only 0.5%
of first-year students of the Korean
Medical Institute will be admitted to
work in their specialty and will make a
career in their chosen field.

Korean medicine is one of the most advanced
today. People are not afraid of doctors and
hospitals, so they are ready to pay money for
medical care, receiving qualified and
professional services. So, if you love eastern
culture, ready to compete and you have money,
it is better to get a medical education in Korea.
