As a 4th year med student in Italy I could not have put it better. I'm going to show this video to anyone asking me in the future whether Italy should be considered as an option as this video touches on all of the important points. Great stuff!
I studied in Italy and now I practice medicine in North America. You basically said (exactly) what I wanted to say for the last twenty years. Every single point that you talked about (for good or bad) it is very true. Thanks for that. There has always been a love and hate relationship between me and Italy.
Racist??I am graduate in Italy in medicine They laterally kill you if you are foreigner. They exclude me 3 times from specialization residency (that I have been through national examination) and I suffer horror years working with them insulted me all the time. They stalking and buling you systematically. Thank you
I'm Italian (born and bred in Rome) and I'm currently spending my last two years of high school in Canada and honestly, coming here was shocking, it's crazy how accepting people are here. I can't thank you enough for addressing the racism issues in Italy, as, not only is there obvious racism, but there is plenty of subtle and "innocent" looking racism in Italy that completely gets ignored by people because of many's mindsets. I have heard and read many "harmless" jokes in Italy, and all they did was make most of my friends grow up racist and/or very prejudice towards other ethnicities or cultures. I wanna acknowledge the many people, some of my age group even, who have been doing work to make this better and honestly, I hope that throughout the rest of my life I'll see a change in Italian's people's mindset.
Thank you for your honesty. It's crucial for people of colour to be aware of the realities of living and studying long-term in Europe. I live in the UK and have never experienced racism there, but I was taken aback by the racism I encountered during a hiking trip in Europe. The questions and comments from fellow European hikers were shocking. While some remarks were overtly racist, many others didn't even recognise their behaviour as racist when I confronted them!
I completely agree with the xenophobia and racism. I have been in Italy for almost two years now and have countless times argued with public servants trying to be treated decently and to get them to their jobs. I have honestly never found this anywhere in the world, and I have lived in 8 different countries.
I've heard about Italy being racist from multiple friends, thanks for confirming. I'm person of color and living in Cork Ireland, people are awesomely friendly here. I just loveeeee Cork. Thanks for the informative video, best wishes
@@pradipchaterjee9576 This is wrong, you get as much as you want, but you have to be active about it and ask professors. No one holds your hand, but if you want to go into surgery you can, if you want to go into the hospital and do practicals you can, you have to ask though, we're not spoon fed that's the difference
@@AcadIMAT but there's a limit right Managing daily clases Managing part time job Managing usmle preparation Managing resources, finances ... This makes real hectic thing so I would recommend Turkey It's better 😉
Hey, thank you so much for your video. It is pretty hard for me to find any useful reviews on internet, but your video was very brief and highly informative. I hope your education goes well :)
Thank you so much for the information, they have been really useful. I'll be sitting an exam this September. Please upload more videos for more information. THANK YOU AGAIN.
Italians are spontaneous and can be misunderstood..so try to not judge general speaking .and in the end of the day ..the day will pass and the next morning is another Italian morning.❤🌻.hope to visit Italy one day. Coming from 2006 Italy world cup fan.😍best days can't be missed.
I am a 5th year student in Italy and honestly it has been a never ending nightmare for me. I do not mean to offend anyone, I'm sure many others have had wonderful experiences. This here is just what I have experienced. - It's incredibly racist, people will go out of their way to inconvenience you and treat you like shit. - The systems like the post office, immigration office, communes and other government buildings are unimaginably disorderly, dysfunctional and borderline trying to fuck you over if you're not a local. - Getting permessos, ISEE, health insurance, carta di identita, hell even your codice fiscale is traumatising. There is no communication between the different offices. Do not trust the documentation and rules for applications etc that you find online on the government websites because the people at the office will come up with documents that are not even listed/cannot be obtained by non EUs and ask you for those. You can show them the government sites and they'll just insult you and kick you out. (A Dutch Eu citizen friend of mine couldn't not open an italian bank account because the bank worker demanded she get a permesso di soggiorno ,which is ONLY for non EU people) -Most (not all) landlords will not provide you with the required house documents/registered rental agreements that you will need for your permesso, carta di identita etc in order to evade tax, yes tax fraud by landlords is very common so it's very difficult finding a good house in your desired price range and location. - The professors, imo from my experiences and experiences of my international friends from various med schools around italy, are pretty bad. Most of the profs have terrible English. A lot of them are racist and treat the English course students way worse than the Italian course ones. Very little professionalism (they freely use derogatory terms and insults like r*etard and very informal words and tone), low teaching standards, subpar education and no proper study structure. There's almost no accountability for their behaviour so this problem never gets fixed and students refrain from putting forth complains because that ends up as academic suicide. - The exams are one on one oral so the difficulty level of exams for all the students is usually very different and almost always unfair depending on the prof. Chances are if you're a POC or visibly LGBTQ+ or the prof simply doesn't like your face that day, you'll probably get wayyyy more difficult questions or even failed on purpose. (I have seen people get the same question where one person passes with flying colours after answering barely anything and another giving a much better answer and still getting failed) And don't dare point out the unfairness of the professors because that's just a guarantee that you won't be passing that subject for atleast a couple of sems. There are a few good, as in what's considered normal, professors though but they're a minority. - As the video said, there's almost zero practical teaching, no cadavers and lab teaching either. - Do not try to speak even the slightest bit of criticism about their food or culture etc, they will rage. At the same time expect italians to be freely insulting and condescending to your culture, country, food etc. Do not argue with them, they'll just go on to insult you more. Imo, it's an amazing place to vacation but definitely not living long term. Most of my international friends have quit because they couldn't bare to live and study here. I stayed because i don't really have another option and have invested too much time and money here. But hope mamy other people have had and will have better experiences than mine.
Hi, Your videos about studying medicine in Italy were very helpful. My son has just finished leaving cert in Ireland and will try HPAT again next year including IMAT.
Hi Serra! I'm a 4th year to be medical student living in Turkey. This is the first video i've watched on your channel and though the video isn't on the exact matter i have been searching on, i have found it really usefull. My goal is to specialize in Italy after i graduate in Turkey and i'm trying learn some more information on this but i really struggle. I know your channel isn't focused on this but i would be so gratefull if you'd make a video about being a foreigner doctor specializing in Italy ;advantages-disadvantages,difficulties and the procedures that there is. Also if i wasn't wrong i've heard that you mentioned Turkey in the video. And with "Serra" being a Turkish name, i'm curious that if you have any links to my country :) Thanks for the video again, it was great!
Actually I plan to interview a Turkish medical graduate who's doing this right now! But you will need to wait a few weeks until I get back to Rome, as I am in Turkey right now :) I'm actually Turkish as well, (ama ingilizcemden kimse inanamiyor :P)
I actually never thought Italians were racist because here in England i've made Italian friends quite easily and some actually wanted to be my friend. I've always thought Italians were nice people and i wanna go there.
Hi, congratulations for the brilliant analysis, I agree with what you said. I am a doctor with a 30-years career and, if I may, I want to give you some advice and of course also give it to your followers: in the fifth-sixth year it would be useful to start practicing in a rescue association and get into ambulances, it helps a lot, and then choosing a non-university hospital to practice, a small hospital in a small town near the university, you learn much more. I also recommend coming to study in Italy because we are in shortage of doctors due to mistakes made by Governments in the past decades (limited number of access to the Faculty of Medicine and specializations). Thank you for your enthusiasm for my Country and your honesty in describing it. I wish you good continuation in your studies. In bocca al lupo!!
Good luck retaining anyone (you're gonna need it). Do you have any idea how we are treated by your country men and women? In class, in the library in the public sphere... Not to mention in the Hospital by patients and the rest of our colleagues? Take responsibility and make people feel welcome instead of throwing them to the wolves (as foreigners mind you) to fend for themselves.
Thank you for your honest opinion. Have you ever met an Arab medical student in Italy? I am an anesthesia technician from Syria. I will take the imat exam soon. To be honest, I was a little sad because I was surprised by the lack of clinical training
I just want to know whether you are currently studying in Italy because I want someone to clearly explain how it is to study in sri lanka as a hijabi from Asia....
I am Italian and I live in Ireland Belfast, I can say that if you really want to talk about racism the Ireland is the same…jut more subtle….in my work place for instance, the locals when they come into the office, as soon as they hear my accent or skin colour will give their attention mostly if not 100% more to my local colleague….I could go on forever….
I’m black Irish and never experienced racism here we don’t tolerate it it exist here however it’s not systemic and here there is a saying that you cannot call yourself Irish and be racist at the same time
@@alivanessa134 but it's not systematic in Italy too, Italy is full of women in high positions etc. Again i have been living in Ireland for over 10 years both in the south and the north and subtle racisms do exists! I am sorry but this is my experience, shared from many other Italians i know living in Belfast. Now I am not saying it's at absurd levels it's more ignorance than anything else....but still, I have to deal with this every time I go to work!
@@southernsun9890 I am also black Irish and sorry this person is undermining your experience, Ireland is a racist country. I’ve received casual racism and micro aggressions and just plain racism. This idea that Ireland is completely innocent is frankly BS. Everyone’s experience is different but to completely rule out racism here is completely absurd.
I must congratulate you on your effort. This surely is one the best videos I have seen on Italian medical education. Do private medical universities have same racism problems as state universities?
@@AcadIMAT probably on the initial struggles international students face and how to gain more practical knowledge since most of the Italian colleges do not have enough clinical exposure.
I am Italian and I don't understand why Italy is considered a racist country, obviously there are racist people, but they are a minority and they are mostly elderly people. When I think of the United States, I think there is much more racism. I think that on the subject of racism we are similar to other European countries, not better, not worse. What strikes me as strange is that in other countries it seems that there is no racism, but I doubt it (Surely part of the population is intolerant due to illegal immigration coming mainly from Libya, This feeds racism)
i dunno about US but i definitely have faced a lot of racism from my classmates and professors. And they're obviously not "elderly" ppl. And also some ppl I met at street. Instead of asking Italians if they're racist or not,,ask foreigners. And amount of racist ppl isnt as minore as u r saying.
@@monicalampugneani7296 hiNoshin are you Persian ? I am and my daughter is half Indian too , planning to send her to Italy but hv heard a lot a lot about racism , do you even recommend it for her or i should rather find other alternative? I know there's racism everywhere in EU but its m under the skin rather than right onto your face i hv friends in Germany and France ,they hv never complaint about racism but rather about how ppl are cold and withdrawn which is better than being racist in my opinion ...i am very divided about sending her or not 😔
I am a person of color and I have been to both the US and Italy and I will say that Italy felt way more racist. I was more scared to visit the US because they are always on the news about racism but I honestly felt extremely accepted and like all the people were friendly. I think they just don’t put Italy’s racism on the news as much.
Anyway thanks for your information It's good But my main advantage above all of this is the fee waiver and scholarships considering my family situation and my family income Next year I would there with god's grace
I am a white Italian guy, even if not straight, so not a MBEB (Italian term). Even if you speak Italian, if you're black you're gonna be discriminated against: I see it from a black friend born and raised in Italy, by her Italian mother. If you're, for example, from East Asian you're gonna get discriminated against too, but it's a little bit different. Black people in Italy usually come from Africa and, because of social problems (lack of working reception centers and difficulties into getting employed, for example), they end up resorting to petty crimes or even prostitution. Italians do have this image about black people, seeing them as dangerous, for example, but it's not the US, and it's not by any means easy to get killed by the police etc. It is not by any means an excuse, but it's to portray how you're gonna be seen, and I can imagine it's not fun in any way. I can still tell you that there are exceptions, and you can find your own safe bubble even among Italian friends. I studied foreign languages in Turin, and my group consisted of a 2nd generation Vietnamese, one girl from Sri Lanka that could speak a bit of Italian but usually wrote messages in English, and other Italian girls. Furthermore, I befriended an Afghan guy and some Chinese girls while at univesity. Am I an exception? Maybe, but just to tell you that there is hope, and you should take as a rule that Italy is a racist country, but not that you're gonna be alone and excluded.
I agree with everything that you say but it isn't true that Italian is a must and "no one speaks a basic level of English". Especially in cities such as Milan, people speak a really good level of English, maybe if you're talking to a 70-years-old man they won't talk in English, but young people really love speaking in English and talking with native speakers. I've lived in France and I can guarantee you that the level is much much lower there compared to Italy
I think no country, race or region is saint when it comes to racism. Globalisation has made the world smaller and people are migrating more and more. Countries which are more exposed to globalisation have gotten used to it. For example US, Germany, Canada, UK and australia are the countries with largest migration but still there is widespread racism issues there also. For example US even after centuries of migration and slave trade witnesses the brutal racist police crimes and other govt institutions. Similarly in UK and australia, even with large scale migration the institutional setup is inherently racist given their colonial background. So, Italy with relatively far less migration is just opening up now. What makes some people more racist is some migrants don't integrate with the locals even after spending years in a region. As they say when in Rome be like romans. Not learning Deutsch in Germany, Italian in Italy, French in France, etc etc and expecting locals to speak and welcome us in our language or english everywhere is not a good attitude. I feel people everywhere have this inherently tribal nature which brings out some of these racist outcomes sometimes. As long as it's not physical or discriminatory towards the people we just have to accept this bitter truth / harsh reality and hope time heals and makes people integrate better and erase racism for future generations.
It's not racism but is a sort of of preventive alarm (prejudice) due the recent immigration. In fact 1/3 of crimes according to police data are committed by strangers despite they are only 8,5% (EU citizens and Asians included) and the large majority from determinated community not Eu and not from Asia. 39% of sexual assault are committed by strangers for example and so on (and the majority - 61% - from italians obviously because they are 91,5%) That's why they watch over you or your friends suspiciously. But if they hear you speaking with french, spanish, german, english or american accent they immediatly stop to do this. The non theorical application depends from the organization of the University where You are. Italian students know wich one choose for this aspects.
Thank you-- for being brutally honest about racism! I'm from Canada and we are a very tolerant nation! While from a fiscal perspective it may be super advantageous to study there --I must be honest I would not fare well with systemic racism!!! I'm considering not to study there! Thanks again for the tips!!!!
Everyone must definitely know what they can deal with and what they cannot, it's very unfortunate that in 2021 we still have to have these conversations and warnings, Canada was one of the most amazing and tolerant places I've been to, I understand your decision and wish you the best of luck in whatever country you decide to study in!
Madam please tell me,,for international students who have completed mbbs in italy,,, for international students,who wants to pass ,the doctor license exam, in ,Italy after graduation from university young doctors to pass a licensing exam (so-called "Esame di Stato"),, for international students this.

wow.. it's really a great one. thanks from my heart I have finished medicine and Im thinking of specializing in italy I wish if you could talk about medical specialize in italy or just give some advice
Heyyy!!! Do you need to apply for medical residency in Italy or can you apply to other countries for residency after getting your degree in Italy? Love your vids!!❤❤❤
Thank you for saying the truth about racism in Italy. I am a person of colour and when I enter a shop the security will be always be following me. It's emotionally hurting to experience it.
Helloo, I just came across this channel and I Subbed :) I am from INDIA ,in last year of my highschool. Also , preparing for neet 2022 and I want to prepare for IMAT 2022 too. I have just a little bit knowledge about this. I know the mark system, subject weightage and few more things. Could you please guide me through? If any video I could watch or any website. Although I am going to watch your channel content , if u could help me more. I would higly appreciate it. Thank you.
If I’m not mistaken - those really don’t matter. I did CAIE A Level and worked my butt off because I knew Medicine and Surgery is a competitive course to get into regardless of the university or country it’s offered in. I got ABBC if you were wondering. Then my parents suggested Italy because it’s inexpensive and a easy-to-get-scholarships country. The Italian embassy merely needs proof that I completed 12 years of education (it’s to make a DoV or something, I’m not too sure - my parents are dealing with those tedious tasks, I couldn’t be bothered). That’s it. That’s all my A Level qualification is to the Italian medical universities because the only thing that matters is the IMAT score - which will determine admission. I guess in a way I could have an advantage because the IMAT papers are conducted in conjunction with Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing… and my A Level examination board was Cambridge Assessment International Education… so I do note many similarities in the exam papers when it comes to the styling of the questions. The IMAT is actually significantly easier than CAIE A Level, by the way.
Hello, I used my high school notes and past exams! I did not use any courses, there are a few available, but I have not heard great things about them, I will write an article and do a video on this pretty soon :)
Sorry, can you help me to know if is it allowed in Italy to study in residence of ICU and anesthesia when I graduate med university in Georgia 🇬🇪 (not in America, it’s iindipendent country) and if I can what do I need for it
Ma'am please reply to my comment Will we have to pay €3000 for each years. Medicine course if for 6 years right so if we have to pay for each years then it will be about €18000 right. And somewhere I heard that every students get 100% scholarships and along with that they get €2500 every month so that they can buy their necessary things, is it really true? And after our course will we get Jobs and will we be considered as a doctor?
Hi, €3000 a year in some reputable universities in big cities, in smaller cities you probably pay even less. The level of education is the same in all universities. When you leave Medicine you have a guaranteed job because there is an extreme shortage of doctors in the Country.
@@autumn399 Yes, I'm Italian. There is racism, like in other Countries. I suggest Bologna, an open-minded and very tolerant city, as well as having one of the oldest university in the world.
do you think I should go for southern universities just to ensure an entry? my other options are universities in Poland, so I don't know how the conditions are in the south, like should I go for Messina uni instead of Poland?
Hi I’m looking for admission for MBBS for my son. I was watching your channel regarding the MBBS examination system . I wanted to know if there are any universities across Italy wherein Oral examination during the course of mbbs can be substituted for written or MCQs for any student who has speech issues
hello, this may be random but I've just finished my A levels in the UK but is an EU national and I'm planning on taking the IMAT next week. just wondering how I can get the declaration of value despite the fact that we haven't been issued our A level certificate.
@@SerraYi won’t be able to do IMAT without my A/L certificate? I have bad grades for my A/Ls so I’m planning to retake my A/Ls next year in August(that’s when they’re held in my country). The problem is the results might not come until December. Do you know if it’s possible for me to do the pre-enrollment(I’m non EU), register for IMAT and enroll in university while my exam results are pending?( on the condition that i get good grades) If you know anything regarding my situation please let me know, it would be really helpful for me.
Hello, thanks for your presentation and all efforts to give a clear picture about studying medicine in Italy. I have been a graduate pharmacist since 1999. Do you think it would be possible for me to get into medical school ? Are there any Post graduate programs to get into like 4 years instead of 6 to get an MD degree?
Hello, do you think it’s worth it to study medicine even if you’re late compared to others? I’m considering studying medicine but I’m a bit late, please let me know, it would be helpful in making a decision
@@morningcoffee840 thank u, I would also like to know what's your experience being a pharmacist? Do you mean admission into an Italian university? If so, what I know is that you need to go the website of the university of your preference and follow their instructions regarding admission, they have info in english.
Thank you for great informations .but I just wanna ask you about master degree in Italy ? Is possible to prepare mater degree in medicin as bacholer degree has been taken from a third world country like Yemen ?!
Hi, did you have class mates from Canada? Did they start doing the Canadian exams while studying in Italy? Is it safe to live alone there ? Is IMAT easy for Grade 11-Grade12 high school students?
I understand that we could get enough experience practically by being proactive but attending the classes of heavily theory things and then revising it do you get enough time to do these practical works beside the college by your own?? And do they offer to do these practicals easily if you want to do like don't they discriminate at that point maybe that's why you told you are lacking the practical knowledge and how would one become a good doctor without the basic human body practicals? Please tell
Italy has some of the best healthcare systems in the world, and produce fantastic doctors across the world which you can look up. The system obviously works,
@@AcadIMAT yah they produce but my main question is don't they discriminate there as providing Italian students all the practical knowledge and all but foreign students lacking of the practical knowledge likewise you said in the video that in 6th year you don't know how to take blood so how would you do treatment or any stuff a normal doctor do??
@@manjuhooda8608 iknow doctor called guisipe benedetto work in usa is able to perform sucessfully the aortic arch which only a few surgeon can perform in the world and has done a great achievements in surgery is graduated from bergamo.and usa itself witnessed his skills. He completed a post graduate residency and specialist not a practionee who is restricted and normal to be have not many experience as he recently graduated .
@@manjuhooda8608 they can't measure blood pressure but able to perform very difficult operations successfully like dr benedetto, the aortic arch which only a few surgeon can perform in the whole world, another thing in my home country there was Italian doctors helped us and trained us and many time they have done many operations which was difficult finally the hospital wetnessed their skills how can you say that there is no clinical experience???????
@@AcadIMAT it has a very high life expectancy. Italian cardiologist are invited many times to give lectures in European society of cardiology. Idont know why people don't stop blaming????
It can b a silly question but can you say me that why does the completion of medicine in Italy takes 6 years when the theory based part is done in 4 yrs nd 1 year of internship which wud b total of 5 yrs..then why 6 years in Italy??please do say❤️
Theory is not done in 4 years, preclinical is done in 3 so there's a difference. Almost all undergraduate degrees will either be 5 or 6 years. Classically MBBS is a 5 year degree, with additional training required to obtain the MD title. In Italy we do an MD directly so it is 6 years.
As a 4th year med student in Italy I could not have put it better. I'm going to show this video to anyone asking me in the future whether Italy should be considered as an option as this video touches on all of the important points. Great stuff!

I am a 5th year student in Italy and honestly it has been a never ending nightmare for me. I do not mean to offend anyone, I'm sure many others have had wonderful experiences. This here is just what I have experienced.
- It's incredibly racist, people will go out of their way to inconvenience you and treat you like shit.
- The systems like the post office, immigration office, communes and other government buildings are unimaginably disorderly, dysfunctional and borderline trying to fuck you over if you're not a local.
- Getting permessos, ISEE, health insurance, carta di identita, hell even your codice fiscale is traumatising. There is no communication between the different offices. Do not trust the documentation and rules for applications etc that you find online on the government websites because the people at the office will come up with documents that are not even listed/cannot be obtained by non EUs and ask you for those. You can show them the government sites and they'll just insult you and kick you out. (A Dutch Eu citizen friend of mine couldn't not open an italian bank account because the bank worker demanded she get a permesso di soggiorno ,which is ONLY for non EU people)
-Most (not all) landlords will not provide you with the required house documents/registered rental agreements that you will need for your permesso, carta di identita etc in order to evade tax, yes tax fraud by landlords is very common so it's very difficult finding a good house in your desired price range and location.
- The professors, imo from my experiences and experiences of my international friends from various med schools around italy, are pretty bad. Most of the profs have terrible English. A lot of them are racist and treat the English course students way worse than the Italian course ones. Very little professionalism (they freely use derogatory terms and insults like r*etard and very informal words and tone), low teaching standards, subpar education and no proper study structure. There's almost no accountability for their behaviour so this problem never gets fixed and students refrain from putting forth complains because that ends up as academic suicide.
- The exams are one on one oral so the difficulty level of exams for all the students is usually very different and almost always unfair depending on the prof. Chances are if you're a POC or visibly LGBTQ+ or the prof simply doesn't like your face that day, you'll probably get wayyyy more difficult questions or even failed on purpose. (I have seen people get the same question where one person passes with flying colours after answering barely anything and another giving a much better answer and still getting failed) And don't dare point out the unfairness of the professors because that's just a guarantee that you won't be passing that subject for atleast a couple of sems.
There are a few good, as in what's considered normal, professors though but they're a minority.
- As the video said, there's almost zero practical teaching, no cadavers and lab teaching either.
- Do not try to speak even the slightest bit of criticism about their food or culture etc, they will rage. At the same time expect italians to be freely insulting and condescending to your culture, country, food etc. Do not argue with them, they'll just go on to insult you more.
Imo, it's an amazing place to vacation but definitely not living long term.
Most of my international friends have quit because they couldn't bare to live and study here.
I stayed because i don't really have another option and have invested too much time and money here.
But hope mamy other people have had and will have better experiences than mine.

Hi Serra!
I'm a 4th year to be medical student living in Turkey. This is the first video i've watched on your channel and though the video isn't on the exact matter i have been searching on, i have found it really usefull. My goal is to specialize in Italy after i graduate in Turkey and i'm trying learn some more information on this but i really struggle. I know your channel isn't focused on this but i would be so gratefull if you'd make a video about being a foreigner doctor specializing in Italy ;advantages-disadvantages,difficulties and the procedures that there is.
Also if i wasn't wrong i've heard that you mentioned Turkey in the video. And with "Serra" being a Turkish name, i'm curious that if you have any links to my country :)
Thanks for the video again, it was great!
Actually I plan to interview a Turkish medical graduate who's doing this right now! But you will need to wait a few weeks until I get back to Rome, as I am in Turkey right now :) I'm actually Turkish as well, (ama ingilizcemden kimse inanamiyor :P)
@@AcadIMAT bu haberi aldığıma çok mutlu oldum! Videoyu heyecanla bekliyorum, çok teşekkürler.
I actually never thought Italians were racist because here in England i've made Italian friends quite easily and some actually wanted to be my friend. I've always thought Italians were nice people and i wanna go there.
You don't know them in Italy. Criminal racism they destroy my life completely. Its a characteristic thing of them:Good face and bad players
@@siomyr3104 😂😂😂 what are you talking about
Thank you for everything you do!
Hi, congratulations for the brilliant analysis, I agree with what you said. I am a doctor with a 30-years career and, if I may, I want to give you some advice and of course also give it to your followers: in the fifth-sixth year it would be useful to start practicing in a rescue association and get into ambulances, it helps a lot, and then choosing a non-university hospital to practice, a small hospital in a small town near the university, you learn much more. I also recommend coming to study in Italy because we are in shortage of doctors due to mistakes made by Governments in the past decades (limited number of access to the Faculty of Medicine and specializations). Thank you for your enthusiasm for my Country and your honesty in describing it. I wish you good continuation in your studies. In bocca al lupo!!
Good luck retaining anyone (you're gonna need it). Do you have any idea how we are treated by your country men and women? In class, in the library in the public sphere... Not to mention in the Hospital by patients and the rest of our colleagues? Take responsibility and make people feel welcome instead of throwing them to the wolves (as foreigners mind you) to fend for themselves.
Thank you for your honest opinion. Have you ever met an Arab medical student in Italy? I am an anesthesia technician from Syria. I will take the imat exam soon. To be honest, I was a little sad because I was surprised by the lack of clinical training
I just want to know whether you are currently studying in Italy because I want someone to clearly explain how it is to study in sri lanka as a hijabi from Asia....
I am Italian and I live in Ireland Belfast, I can say that if you really want to talk about racism the Ireland is the same…jut more subtle….in my work place for instance, the locals when they come into the office, as soon as they hear my accent or skin colour will give their attention mostly if not 100% more to my local colleague….I could go on forever….
I’m black Irish and never experienced racism here we don’t tolerate it it exist here however it’s not systemic and here there is a saying that you cannot call yourself Irish and be racist at the same time
@@alivanessa134 but it's not systematic in Italy too, Italy is full of women in high positions etc. Again i have been living in Ireland for over 10 years both in the south and the north and subtle racisms do exists! I am sorry but this is my experience, shared from many other Italians i know living in Belfast. Now I am not saying it's at absurd levels it's more ignorance than anything else....but still, I have to deal with this every time I go to work!
@@southernsun9890 I am also black Irish and sorry this person is undermining your experience, Ireland is a racist country. I’ve received casual racism and micro aggressions and just plain racism. This idea that Ireland is completely innocent is frankly BS. Everyone’s experience is different but to completely rule out racism here is completely absurd.
Scusa ma che significa " appena vedono il colore della mia pelle" se sei italiano? Siamo bianchi anche noi! Boh?

I must congratulate you on your effort. This surely is one the best videos I have seen on Italian medical education. Do private medical universities have same racism problems as state universities?
It’s more the cities and people that are the problem not the universities
We need more videos like this
On it chief, what else you think would be good to cover?
@@AcadIMAT probably on the initial struggles international students face and how to gain more practical knowledge since most of the Italian colleges do not have enough clinical exposure.
@@mohed_yasir7797 What a coincidence, I literally just finished writing the script on a video like this, it should be ready by the end of next week!
I am Italian and I don't understand why Italy is considered a racist country, obviously there are racist people, but they are a minority and they are mostly elderly people. When I think of the United States, I think there is much more racism. I think that on the subject of racism we are similar to other European countries, not better, not worse. What strikes me as strange is that in other countries it seems that there is no racism, but I doubt it (Surely part of the population is intolerant due to illegal immigration coming mainly from Libya, This feeds racism)
i dunno about US but i definitely have faced a lot of racism from my classmates and professors. And they're obviously not "elderly" ppl. And also some ppl I met at street. Instead of asking Italians if they're racist or not,,ask foreigners. And amount of racist ppl isnt as minore as u r saying.
@@monicalampugneani7296 hiNoshin are you Persian ?
I am and my daughter is half Indian too , planning to send her to Italy but hv heard a lot a lot about racism , do you even recommend it for her or i should rather find other alternative?
I know there's racism everywhere in EU but its m under the skin rather than right onto your face i hv friends in Germany and France ,they hv never complaint about racism but rather about how ppl are cold and withdrawn which is better than being racist in my opinion ...i am very divided about sending her or not 😔
Racismo, fascista, Italians are the embodiment of racism. Especially to black people.
I am a person of color and I have been to both the US and Italy and I will say that Italy felt way more racist. I was more scared to visit the US because they are always on the news about racism but I honestly felt extremely accepted and like all the people were friendly. I think they just don’t put Italy’s racism on the news as much.
blinder are always worse.It means no one even care about it,either left or right.
Anyway thanks for your information
It's good
But my main advantage above all of this is the fee waiver and scholarships considering my family situation and my family income
Next year I would there with god's grace
Best of luck in exam!
Can an mbbs student work part time while studying medicine in itlay?
I am a white Italian guy, even if not straight, so not a MBEB (Italian term).
Even if you speak Italian, if you're black you're gonna be discriminated against: I see it from a black friend born and raised in Italy, by her Italian mother. If you're, for example, from East Asian you're gonna get discriminated against too, but it's a little bit different. Black people in Italy usually come from Africa and, because of social problems (lack of working reception centers and difficulties into getting employed, for example), they end up resorting to petty crimes or even prostitution. Italians do have this image about black people, seeing them as dangerous, for example, but it's not the US, and it's not by any means easy to get killed by the police etc. It is not by any means an excuse, but it's to portray how you're gonna be seen, and I can imagine it's not fun in any way.
I can still tell you that there are exceptions, and you can find your own safe bubble even among Italian friends. I studied foreign languages in Turin, and my group consisted of a 2nd generation Vietnamese, one girl from Sri Lanka that could speak a bit of Italian but usually wrote messages in English, and other Italian girls. Furthermore, I befriended an Afghan guy and some Chinese girls while at univesity.
Am I an exception? Maybe, but just to tell you that there is hope, and you should take as a rule that Italy is a racist country, but not that you're gonna be alone and excluded.
Well said
Very objective!
thank you so much for this video!
Glad you enjoyed it please let us know if there's anything else you would like to see!
I agree with everything that you say but it isn't true that Italian is a must and "no one speaks a basic level of English". Especially in cities such as Milan, people speak a really good level of English, maybe if you're talking to a 70-years-old man they won't talk in English, but young people really love speaking in English and talking with native speakers. I've lived in France and I can guarantee you that the level is much much lower there compared to Italy
I guess all of the internationals I know (and myself) have had different experiences then you 😅😅
I think no country, race or region is saint when it comes to racism. Globalisation has made the world smaller and people are migrating more and more. Countries which are more exposed to globalisation have gotten used to it.
For example US, Germany, Canada, UK and australia are the countries with largest migration but still there is widespread racism issues there also. For example US even after centuries of migration and slave trade witnesses the brutal racist police crimes and other govt institutions. Similarly in UK and australia, even with large scale migration the institutional setup is inherently racist given their colonial background.
So, Italy with relatively far less migration is just opening up now.
What makes some people more racist is some migrants don't integrate with the locals even after spending years in a region. As they say when in Rome be like romans. Not learning Deutsch in Germany, Italian in Italy, French in France, etc etc and expecting locals to speak and welcome us in our language or english everywhere is not a good attitude.
I feel people everywhere have this inherently tribal nature which brings out some of these racist outcomes sometimes. As long as it's not physical or discriminatory towards the people we just have to accept this bitter truth / harsh reality and hope time heals and makes people integrate better and erase racism for future generations.
It's not racism but is a sort of of preventive alarm (prejudice) due the recent immigration. In fact 1/3 of crimes according to police data are committed by strangers despite they are only 8,5% (EU citizens and Asians included) and the large majority from determinated community not Eu and not from Asia.
39% of sexual assault are committed by strangers for example and so on (and the majority - 61% - from italians obviously because they are 91,5%)
That's why they watch over you or your friends suspiciously. But if they hear you speaking with french, spanish, german, english or american accent they immediatly stop to do this.
The non theorical application depends from the organization of the University where You are. Italian students know wich one choose for this aspects.
Love, keep your courage hats off
Will try!
Thank you-- for being brutally honest about racism! I'm from Canada and we are a very tolerant nation! While from a fiscal perspective it may be super advantageous to study there --I must be honest I would not fare well with systemic racism!!! I'm considering not to study there! Thanks again for the tips!!!!
Everyone must definitely know what they can deal with and what they cannot, it's very unfortunate that in 2021 we still have to have these conversations and warnings, Canada was one of the most amazing and tolerant places I've been to, I understand your decision and wish you the best of luck in whatever country you decide to study in!

@@AcadIMAT appreciate your quick response- Thanks
What are the minimum grades you need to have obtained in the Advanced llevel,,/Edexcel to be eligible to apply to study medicine?
If I’m not mistaken - those really don’t matter. I did CAIE A Level and worked my butt off because I knew Medicine and Surgery is a competitive course to get into regardless of the university or country it’s offered in. I got ABBC if you were wondering. Then my parents suggested Italy because it’s inexpensive and a easy-to-get-scholarships country. The Italian embassy merely needs proof that I completed 12 years of education (it’s to make a DoV or something, I’m not too sure - my parents are dealing with those tedious tasks, I couldn’t be bothered). That’s it. That’s all my A Level qualification is to the Italian medical universities because the only thing that matters is the IMAT score - which will determine admission. I guess in a way I could have an advantage because the IMAT papers are conducted in conjunction with Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing… and my A Level examination board was Cambridge Assessment International Education… so I do note many similarities in the exam papers when it comes to the styling of the questions. The IMAT is actually significantly easier than CAIE A Level, by the way.
Hi!!!!! Thank you for the video! How did you get prepared for the IMAT test? on your own or with courses?
Hello, I used my high school notes and past exams! I did not use any courses, there are a few available, but I have not heard great things about them, I will write an article and do a video on this pretty soon :)

Ma'am please reply to my comment
Will we have to pay €3000 for each years. Medicine course if for 6 years right so if we have to pay for each years then it will be about €18000 right. And somewhere I heard that every students get 100% scholarships and along with that they get €2500 every month so that they can buy their necessary things, is it really true?
And after our course will we get Jobs and will we be considered as a doctor?
Hi, €3000 a year in some reputable universities in big cities, in smaller cities you probably pay even less. The level of education is the same in all universities. When you leave Medicine you have a guaranteed job because there is an extreme shortage of doctors in the Country.

Theory is not done in 4 years, preclinical is done in 3 so there's a difference. Almost all undergraduate degrees will either be 5 or 6 years. Classically MBBS is a 5 year degree, with additional training required to obtain the MD title. In Italy we do an MD directly so it is 6 years.
