I love how you’re having the optimistic viewpoint on these points. There are tons of people who talk about them and it’s a little discouraging so I’m happy you’re bringing the positive of these things.
I’d love the graduate interviews on the podcast! Yes!
But I can’t believe people are concerned with the long videos. 😅😭 It’s a lot of useful information - I guess for me I love the details packed into the videos. 🥰✨
Yes, people are actually quite rude about it as well sometimes which is disappointing 😅 but I'm super glad you've found them helpful!
Love your videos!! They’re so raw and honest and comprehensive! Thank you! ❤️
I'm loving your videos! They keep me so motivated. I understand why people are afraid of these negative points, because I did an Erasmus year in Belgium (I am veterinary in Brazil, planning to study medicine in Italy) and I know how frustrating is when you arrive in a country and you don't understand what is going on and nobody gonna take you by the hand. But I agree with you, this type of experience make us grow up a lot! At the end is the same all over the world: it is not the University that makes the professional, you need to chase it, because the real world (not the illusional academic world) is so much harder, you need to be PROACTIVE to be a succesful adult. Again, you can have good friends and family, but nobody gonna take you by the hand! It's scary, but at same time it's so great, it's the purpose of life living our own ways :D
Hi!! That’s so cool, your story, I’d like to know ir you’ve started your medical course in Italy and ir your could share a bit of your experience. I’ve started my planning to study next year! Thank you!!!!
The line you said that medicine is fun to you makes sense and I too think it's real fun to study about😊
So excited for the Podcast ✨
Me too I love talking to people :)
omg so excited for the podcast!! thank u so much. there is not a lot of information out there and you fill out and answer all of my questions.
Super glad to be helpful! IM SO EXCITED AS WELL I LOVE MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND TALKING TO THEM
@@AcadIMATclassic, your sense of inferiority versus Italy, as soon as you leave London, there really is disaster and misery in the UK. CKE DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE? PISA, ROME, BOLOGNA ARE AT THE TOP, FREE, YOU ARE UGLY,
Great job and explanation!!
Thanks! Hope it was helpful :)
The best channel keep the good work 👍👍👍
Thank you :) Glad the videos are helpful
thank you for your videos, it is realy important especially for those who struggle with reaserches(me:))
Totally agree with everything you said!
This was such an insightful video! Thankyou serra
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Sarah valuable opinion 👌👍👍
Funny, being italian, I had the opposite reaction when seeing other university systems, the norm was for me oral exams and not written one.
Yes students must have a lot of self control, motivation and a small leap of faith in feeling prepared to do an exam. I strongly suggest to all foreigners to get a digital identity through PEC e SPID, other than booking the appointment at poste directly online.
It's almost impossible to get the SPID without already having a tessera (the current problem I'm facing), which is one of the hardest things to do, but thank you for the helpful tip!
If it is possible can you give me info about how many percentages of student need to repeat a year and how many need to dropout from the medicine course in general? I'm quite concern about it because I was a medical student from one country in east Europe and the dropout rates here is ridiculous...like 50-60% couldn't move to second year. I'm planning to study medicine in Italy and found that your videos are very helpful, thank you so much and good luck with your studies.
thnak you for such an amazing video .
Glad it was helpful :)
Thankyou for your amazing videos .
Glad you like them!
Thank you for this video. It really helps you get a better perspective on the italian medical school system. As someone who discovered Anki in 6th year, I thought I could rely on it for top grades for the rest of my life but I wonder how I could incorporate Anki when most of the exams are oral? Could you pls consider doing a video on how you incorporate Anki into studying for oral exams?
Because the English have a strong sense of inferiority towards Italy? Why, apart from the south, is Italy richer, better, healthcare, economic, industrial, a paradise, has the first navy and air force? You work in the factories of former British companies, but now Italian, fat, redheads with freckles... Why? Leave the glittering London, there is desolation in Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Walles, in the north, look for work in Dublin, Scandinavia, Australia, if not for the Indians...
Hi! I loved your video, it was so beneficial! I was going to ask what are the career opportunities after studying medicine in Italy for 6 years.
I have to thank you for all the sincere explanations you made. I had a question actually and i'll be pleased if you answer it. Can we approach classes (non-mandatory subjects regarding our syllabus) from other departments?
I'm not sure what you mean by this question, but you are welcome to attend other departments with the permission of professors
Perfect definition 👌
Can you please recommend any sources for the logical reasoning and general knowledge portion.
Thank you so much for the informations . Excuse me , is there any chance to know what will be tought in medicine in Italy? Like the first semester in China is , mathematics, computer, biology and so...
13:03 it sounds like Heaven for Med students in Italy... 🤩
But *terms and conditions applied 😑
Thank you for these videos. Big question: Which universities have the schedules that best allow parti-time work?
We always ask about the rough schedule of the university in the deep dive episodes, we also have summaries written up on the website if you wanted to do a quick read and compare of them
Will there be an English medical school in Florence in the next years?
What do you mean by 'rare to graduate on time'? (6:13) Does this mean the medicine programme takes more than 6 years?
Thank you so much Serra for your advises! Do you think that is enough a B2 level of English for a latin american student?
Yeah it is, you will learn to speak it fluently in a natural way though
Also what happens if you fail? Are you allowed to retake
How is the pratical exposure and clinical knowledge , in italian med schools...??
Hi I hope you answer me.how many hours you need to study per day or per week?
Are all these medical schools accepted by GMC? Please
How many hours you had to study daily????
And do you get from professors slides of presentations to study for exams?? Or you have to look for your own?? Can you guys predict questions which professors will give ?
In Italy, do students really do practical work in the hospital and gain experience? I have heard that foreign students are not given much importance and they do not turn out to be well-educated doctors. Is this true?
What is the best go-to university for residency in orthopedics in italy?
How many hours needed to study? in regular days
About the oral exam, are you going to answer questions from every topic, or you are going to be given a topic to talk about
Can you please guide me, Regarding transfer of Indian student from Ukraine to your university struck by war to Italy.
Please make the comparison of the two medical school based on budget. I mean the cheapest two cities.
You can find price indexes for each university in this article: www.acadimat.com/guide-to-all-medical-schools-in-italy/
I just thought of this same question and boom.... There came the notification 🤩
Notification Squad 🔥
@@AcadIMAT hey i have a doubt... After graduating from bicocca.. Are we allowed to write usmle exams like... Is it accredited

Hope it was helpful :)
In italy no written exam happen only oral exam happen?
excuse me please can you explain how grades matter idont understand it how it matters do you mean to proceed in studies.

In which university have pass fail system?
Hello this is the great vedio.plz told when Bari mbbs 2022 classes starts??
Late October
How many seesions in year?and in which month started?
After watching this , I am sure that no matter what happens i will crack the neet exam and study medicine in india , man this system isn't for me , i will definitely fall behind , your own country is best as you are familiar with the education system, so try your best and keep other countries as backup
It's easy you're just making a big deal of it it's like other specifications
The Italian system sounds so so similar to Indian Medical schools especially about the unspoken shame about grades
Hi! Are you preparing for IMAT?
Grades are also mostly public here, your name and results are published for everyone to see, and everyone can watch your exams so know how you perform haha
Hello!! I have a question about the topics on the oral exam. Does the students know which topics the professors might ask? for eampel is there a list of topics for every subjects?
I study in Serbia and we have oral exams as well, how ever we know the topics beforehand. For examel in Biochemsitry we had 93 topics. On the exam, the proffesors asks maybe 3 random question of these 93 possible once.
Well It does depend. Some profs might be cool and tell the class representative they'll ask a set number of questions, and some profs whose exams might last hours or just minutes, depending on the mood

Hello Serra! I have a nurse degree that i received in my country. Is there any opportunity for me to work as a nurse in italy ( if i confirm it surely) while being a medical student? Thank you 😊
I'm honestly not sure, perhaps it could be possible for a private healhcare company like "doctors in Italy" that focus on foreigners and tourists if you don't have a C1 Italian language cert
Would you say that there are patients who have a good command of English in the La Sapienza training hospital? (i.e if someone wants to start shadowing in year one or two)
I'm sure some do, but it's not the responsibility of sick people to speak in a language to cater to you. If you're going to another country, it really is the expectation to learn the local language!
@@AcadIMAT oh totally! I was simply wondering how different it might be in a larger uni hospital as compared to say Turin or Pavia. Guess shadowing and being in the hospital would be more effective in later years.
@@earth2ellie to answer your question since I am from Milan and I speak fluent English. Would I even consider speaking English while being in hospital in distress because of a serious illness? No. As Serra said it is the patients' right to be treated in their own language in their country, because being in hospital is already an extremely difficult situation... and I find it a bit insensitive to be asked to speak in a foreign language on top of suffering from a serious condition. You also have to consider that even fluent speakers of English hardly know any specific medical terms in English, which are normally very similar to Italian but pronounced in a way which is normally rather incomprehensible for us. So just one question to you now: would you find it fair to ask a patient to speak a foreign language while in hospital just to accomodate for a student's professional needs? Obviously I am just one Italian... other Italians might give you a different answer, but I find it makes much more sense that medicine students learn the local language before having to deal with patients in distress. If you were studying any other subject it would not make much of a difference, but dealing with people going through highly stressful and possibly painful times of their lives does require extra sensitivity which means not asking for an additional effort on their part.
One question: do medical students get to do Erasmus?
Yes we have videos and articles on this
Can students keep up with the syllabus and also do some sort of part-time jobs to support themself?
Yes, one of our upcoming videos is on this :)
@@AcadIMAT Thank you! Looking forward to it. :)
No
I'm desperate for more information about United states students studying in italy
Hope you find it somewhere then
Hi, just wondering if you are allowed to practice as a Doctor in Ireland with your Italian qualification given that both countries are members of European union thanks
Technically yes but it's almost impossible if you're non EU
@@AcadIMAT Thanks for the reply.
Is pre enrollment required for university of torino ??
In the past it was yes
Hello
Actually right now I am a high school student and I'd be graduating in April-May 2023. Wanted to know if I should give IMAT in September 2022 or in 2023?
When do the courses starts...like in which month?
2023
Please check the website as we have all of this information there
Hi Will the Siena Scholarship be eliminated for 2024?
This is a question for Siena
textbook to study for imat plz
Cambridge A levels
#please make a video on number of seats available for non EU student in each univercity for medicine
Please check the website for this information www.acadimat.com/2021-imat-rankings-and-cut-offs/
Do a med student get job after doing medicine in Italy?
For sure! In fact we have a lack of medics here in Italy. Even nurses after graduating here can work all over the world
Yes it's completely possible!
Not watched the video lemme give you a simple answer.
Yes, indeed. Why? We do like 4 or 5 yrs of studying and then the doctorate like 1 or 2 yrs + 1 year of specialization. Simple
Specialisation is much longer than 1 year, and you basically described exactly how an MD works in all countries lol I would recommend watching the video so that you actually understand what makes it hard
procrastination is an art...
No one gets the struggle 😔🙏
@@AcadIMAT come one, i was joking, lol
@@Lorre982 I know haha, I was memeing on top of it
Hi
Please interview any Indian medical student
Hi please actually check what videos we've done, because we have interviewed an Indian medical student.

Italian medical Colleges look a bit unorganised🤞🏽😬😑
I'm not sure where in the video you got that idea from but ok lol
They are organised, simply they don't organize your time for you.
Just a suggestion you can consider a podcast episode with Karolina (med_rome) she’s is very helpful she might be interested
She's my classmate, and we've already done multiple articles and videos together :)
