Every year a large number of students take up Medical admission in China.More than 250
Universities in China, under the Central Government and Provincial Government
are offering admissions to International students for Under-graduate and
Post-graduate medical programmes in respective Universities. The number of
students from India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are particularly
more when compared to applicants from other countries for Medical education.
However, when Indian
students go through MCI website regarding recognized list of institutions in
China offering MBBS course, there are two separate lists updated. The list of
Universities offering “ENGLISH MEDIUM MBBS IN CHINA” is only 45 in number,
whereas the list of Universities offering “MBBS IN CHINA IN BILINGUAL MEDIUM”
is more than 200. There begins the confusion for all the applicants! What is
the difference between both these types of institutions, how about their
recognition, facilities, etc.,
Medical Council of India
updates this list every year, after consulting with respective Indian embassy and
in reference to the list published by Ministry of Education in China. The list for Bilingual MBBS universities is
updated by setting in with standards set by MCI itself. The list is updated
every year around the month of April or May for universities providing full
English medium course. Since the beginning, the number of eligible universities
have decreased and as of now, there is about 45 universities recognized for
English medium MBBS course in China; some universities which were previously on
the list are now deemed ineligible as the list is updated. Weifang University,
Dali University, Jiamusi University, Hebei United University are few examples
of Universities that lost its place in the English Medium MBBS list approved by
Medical Council of India.
The process of updating is based on yearly evaluation of
universities by Ministry of Education (China) since 2013. The ministry prepares
a final list of universities meeting the required standards and is forwarded to
the Indian Embassy and thereby sent to the Medical Council of India. Along with
the name of the University, number of seat allocated for foreign students in
respective universities are also mentioned in the MCI website. Interestingly,
the number of seats is not listed in the website since 2017.
There are a lot of changes between the Course pattern, duration
of course, teaching and other aspects of English medium MBBS and Bi-Lingual
Clinical Medicine course; So right now it cannot be considered like earlier
that every Medical course done by foreign students in China has a uniform
pattern.
We will be back explaining and looking more into the differences
between the two courses and what the student will experience or gain by taking
up the respective course in coming articles. This article was to convey the
fact that every medical course in China is not the same and there is more to
consider while choosing a University to pursue Medical education in China.
