but the reality is, many foreign med schools from the 3rd world, "sells" places to the highest bidder, and as long as you can get a few credits and pay the fees, they are happy to take you in................

that is my problem..............not saying that the med schools in russia/indonesia/india are no good, but the fact that they compromise on their intake criteria to take in people for money...............tells something about the commercialisation of education..........

don't get me wrong, save for a few countries, and a few well known universities, all universities are also selling education............the difference is how selection takes place................in the quality of students taken in, lies the quality of the school.............

i am not sure what you are trying to say...............??

recognition of med schools in malaysia is a political decision, and not based on any consistent policy...............

as for studying the same thing, as far as raw knowledge in the pre-clinical sciences, yes, you will all study the same things...............but when it comes to clinical years, the practices can vary widely in different countries............and you will learn the kind of practice where you are trained.............

and there is wide difference in the calibre of the medical students being admitted...........
