Top International Medical Schools


International medical schools are a great alternative to the typically overpriced, overcrowded American medical schools. Three of the top international medical schools in the world in 2009 are The Royal College of Surgeons (Dublin), Sackler School of Medicine (Israel), and Touro College (Israel).

The Royal College of Surgeons is one of the top European medical schools, and is present in Dublin, Ireland. It features a wide variety of facilities, ranging from Undergraduate medicine to Dentistry to Sports and Exercise Medicine. And to top that off, eighty percent of students come from outside Europe, so American students will be able to feel very comfortable.

The Sackler School of Medicine is located in Tel Aviv, Israel. Similar to the Royal College of Surgeons, Sackler has a large American population, and even has a whole school just for American students, with English-speaking staff.

The third of this excellent trio of international medical schools is Toro College, located in the heart of Israel. This school is another that caters to American students, as assistants are ready at the school to help Americans set up an English-speaking schedule. Touro is one of the most technologically advanced international schools.

A main reason for students wanting to study medicine in a foreign country is to save money, but it is far from the only reason. International schools can accept students on very short notices, which is ideal for students who have been turned down unexpectedly in the United States. Also, international medical schools have fewer entrance restrictions.

Overall, going to an international medical school is a good idea for students who can either not make it into college in America, want to save money, or maybe just want to experience the world. Many of the top international medical schools are English-friendly, and they will help with any problems one would have. The three schools mentioned in this article are some of the top schools in the world.
