      In Mexico it depends on each university but usually it takes 6 years (can be 7) to become a general practitioner, 4-5 years of school, 1 year of internship in a hospital with 24-36 hour shifts and one year of social service during which you have to take and pass a licensing examination to get your medical license. And then you have to take an exam to have a chance to get into a medical speciality, it is only held once a year and people who don't pass or don't get a place in a medical speciality program have to take it again a year later.
      The med school were I studied makes sure students get real practice with real patients since the first semester which is great and is one of the reasons why I chose it, but many other schools don't offer opportunities for their students to get real practice until year 3 or later. The curriculum also depends on each school, my school focuses on basic sciences and clinical skills (taking a complete medical history correctly, writing medical notes, taking vitals signs, each part of a complete physical examination, interviewing skills, etc) the first 2 years and the last 2 years on clinical subjects with lectures, a especial class to analyse clinical cases, another class with real patients, seminars to analyse medical articles and rotations in different hospitals for each medical speciality the students are currently studying. Some people might take more than 5 years to complete med school because if they fail a subject or several subjects they have to take them again or repeat a semester, also public universities force their students to make their own schedule and sign up for the classes they will take each semester which is not ideal as there must be an order in the medical school curriculum so they take longer trying to pass all the necessary subjects to graduate (Private universities like my alma mater make the schedule for the students and ensure you study each subject in the correct order and following the medical curriculum from medical schools in the USA because it is certified by that country as well). Some schools are certified by the USA so many doctors choose to take the required exams to study their speciality there, many others decide to get their credentials verified by Spain (since the language is the same), they take just one exam and apply for a medical residency there. But what's certain is that no matter the country, medical students must study daily and during many hours.

    I'm not in med school, I'm in 2nd year vet school but I must say it's quite the same for us too.
    You have to study hard and get a bunch of work experience to get into vet. After that, 1st year was easy (foundation stuff like Chem, biochem, etc) and I was able to get high distinctions in all my subjects without trying too hard. 2nd year your workload basically triples and all the content gets so much harder. We learn all the anatomy and physiology, some neuro. We also have to complete 8 weeks in total of pre-clinical placements at farms to get livestock work experience as part of our degree (I literally just finished my 6th placement at a dairy farm where I had to get up at 4 every morning 💀💀💀). In these placements you basically do whatever the farmers want you to do, some farms are great and you learn heaps, but some just treat you as free labour. These 8 weeks must be completed outside of the uni semesters which means no holidays.
    From 3rd year onwards is where he'll begins and you lose all sanity. 3rd year you start learning pathology, clinical and surgical basics and you start going in to clinics as clinical placements, of which you must complete 14 weeks between 3rd and 4th year.
    4th year onwards are trimesters (E semesters a year) you start rotations around the vet hospital, you finish up learning everything you need to know. 4th year at my vet school is basically 2 years of content crammed in to one so our degree isn't 6 years long (it's a big selling point). You also complete your DVM research project in this time.
    5th year there are no lectures, you just rotate around the hospital, and do all your exams (ie surgical exams, everything you need to know to be qualified).
    I can also relate to putting on my coat and to get motivation to study 😂😂
    And I ant believe you can do RUclips and study. I'm only working casually as a vet receptionist on the side and I'm already dying. Keep up the good work ☺️

    Great vid! I'm also in med school and this is very relatable lol. In my country you basically have the first two years where you learn all of the principles of medicine ( anatomy, physiology, molecular biology, pharmacology, pathological anatomy and physiology and bio chemistry), then, the rest of the years are all pratical where you work in the hospitals every day, so the first two years are absolute hell, but then it gets better. Its really interesting to see the differences between countries.

Despite this, most of my relatives are studying medicine 😅 It's really hard to study medicine all over the world but I'm sure you will be a very good doctor Hitoki!

    That scene where you try to continue studying while going to toilet brought me some flashbacks! The dread of when you just had to cram hundreds of pages into your head over a very short period of time so you tried to optimize every second of your life... Some things are the same for medical students no matter where you are in the world.
    This May I'll be going on my first proper holiday as a doctor to finaly travel to Japan, which is my lifelong dream :) Wish you luck with your studies!

    Hi Onomappu! I really enjoyed your podcast with Miku RJ.
    Some points for reference:
    4th year Japanese medical student is = 2nd year American medical student. They are typically 22-24 years old, have completed basic science courses and maybe 1 year of clinical duties?
    They may be about done with their basic studying, so they may have a bit more time before the hard clinical years start. In America, 1st year and 3rd year are usually the most challenging years.

    A “fun” thing that happens is also that the deeper you go into medicine (or any other empirical science) the more superstitious you become, it goes so far that you will start praying to gods you haven’t even known before when you start a big experiment or before a bigger exam. You also actively avoid e.g. certain words/phrases during shifts (like “Sure is calm today.” especially in emergency medicine).

I'm only a freshman though so I have plenty of time to learn Japanese in the mean time. It'd be cool if it were possible, but since it's so far away, I don't think it'll be approved so I guess I'll just do it in my own country lol. But even if I can't, I still want to go to Japan after graduating for travel reasons.

      Mucho éxito, yo estudié medicina. Algo que desearía haber sabido antes de entrar es que se deben estudiar los temas que verás al día siguiente en clase para que si tienes dudas te las puedan aclarar los doctores y porque si lees antes de clase, estudias el tema en clase y luego repasas antes del examen es más fácil memorizar los temas (aparte de que te da tiempo de al menos leer una vez todos los temas porque muchas veces no da tiempo ni de tomar apuntes por la cantidad de material por estudiar). No estudies solo la semana antes de tu examen, esa es para repasar y hacer preguntas de práctica, estudia desde antes y en cuanto tengas un examen empieza a estudiar para el siguiente parcial para que siempre vayas al día con los temas.

    I'm a laboratory technican. 大学生の時に、5人の日本医学生に交流しました。どこでもの医学生の勉強がとても大変だと思います。😭
