If Colonialism is so good for the colonised country.

Its definitely pay back.

Not much can be done about history. However Im sure I would have been opposed by it then as I am now.

However I do think some countries have benefited.

Should these countries be given compensation from those who are not even born?

I wouldn't give them anything.

Something you don't understand. Facts

I do when presented with them. But you're notoriously bad at presenting such facts and rely on silly insults, as per your response.
It took pete a little under an hour to find some internet comments that showed your opinion to be justified.
And on your recent performance that's a first for you, for your opinion to be borne out by others' opinion.
But you claim you were the educated one.

 

[King Billy]

But it is. the entry standards that are different in different countrys, yet we still import Drs from these countries. Are yu suggesting British Drs are somehow better than their counterparts?

You presented an example for foreign trained vets, and have transposed that example on foreign trained doctors, without any supporting evidence.
Is it easily transposable, as you have done?

Foreign-trained doctors are not inherently less qualified or less capable than UK-trained doctors, but research has indicated that on average, International Medical Graduates (IMGs) may face more challenges in performance assessments compared to UK graduates.

Maybe the entry standards are easier because there's more of them, and it gives a nuanced picture.

 

[King Billy]

and I am correct in stating that our entry requirements are a lot higher than most countries. A definitive factor in why our Universities are awash with soft degree students who are studying for a career for a life on the dole rather than a medical degree.

No! A resounding NO!
It might appear that entry standards are easier in Europe, (not a lot, as you suggested) because there are more places available.
If the places in UK are limited, it's obvious that there needs to be some mechanism to restrict the intake, whether that is apparently higher standards or higher fees or some other mechanism, like choosing the higher qualified students only, is moot.

But then to extrapolate your opinion on to what the other courses are, or who enrolls, or why, is pure hypothesis.

 

[King Billy]

Then I would suggest that you toddle off and do some AI research on this subject, then pop back when you don't just think but actually know. Think on...

What precisley do you think was incorrect about MNW67's comment?
All you did was to reply with a silly comment. That's not how discussions are conducted.

More uneducated guessing from a troll
AI Overview

Yes, generally, it is
easier to gain entry into many medical schools abroad—particularly in Eastern Europe and some other regions—compared to the highly competitive UK system. While the academic workload remains rigorous, these universities often have lower grade requirements (e.g., Cs or Bs instead of AAA) and, in some cases, no UCAT or BMAT requirement.

Because there are more places, therefore more students, with some lower qualifications*, does not necessarily mean that foreign trained doctors are trained to a lower standard.

*more places means that more studenst can be enrolled, and there is not so much competition for those places. Therefore the average qaulification will obviously be affected.

Popular Alternatives for UK Students

• Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Romania, Poland): Known for low tuition fees, English-taught programmes, and lower entry requirements.

Because there are more places available.
It doesn't mean they turn out lower qualified doctors.

Is it more difficult to get accepted to study medicine in the UK or Europe?​

Yes, it is generally considered more difficult to get accepted to study medicine in the UK, due to the very high admission criteria. This is largely due to the fact that there is a very limited number of seats per year and only the best of the best can get in.

Because there are fewer plces available.

[King Billy]

you have never been to a University which sort of shows yet here you are arguing against those that have. Laughable

You've been to university? That's laughable. Your English comprehension is so bad I thought you were home schooled.
I doubt if your English is up to GCSE level.

Undergraduate courses demand high standards of English language skills.

What did you study Beauty Treatments?

 

[King Billy]

LOL you are deluded, you have come onto a thread with no knowledge of the UCAS entry requirements and say, "keep it as it is" then wonder why we have a shortage of Drs. You couldnt make it up.

You're arguing your own strawman argument, and noseall has already made it clear that your arguments are waffle compared to his comments.

 

[King Billy]

There are only 4 medical schools in the UK, why do you think that is? You can do any degree at any university and have a multitude of choice, not medical ones you cant.

There are about 7,500 medical school places available in UK across 46 universities. Let's assume about 160 places per university
In Europe there are more than 850 such places offering medical courses, applying the same per school logic, that's about 138,000 places available, nearly 20 times the amount in UK. And the fees are lower.
That's why medical school entry is easier in Europe. It's nothing to do with what other courses are available, nor the actual entry level criteria required, nor why people choose certain courses.

 

[King Billy]

But accross Europe the entry level is easier to gain access to train

It's not the entry level criteria, it's the amount of places available.

 

[King Billy]

No .... there is alot of logic to his argument

That'll make a change.
