    Hi.
    I am from Mauritius. University of Mauritius has friendly links with South Africa and France
    It takes 3 years at the university of Mauritius to obtain an undergraduate degree of BSc(Hons) Medical Science.
    Then we get the choice to go to-
    first option: University of Cape Town (South Africa) for 4.5 years of clinical medicine. total time= 7.5 years to graduate as a General Practitioner
    second option: Université victore segalen de bordeaux II (France) for 3 years of clinical medicine. total time= 6 years to graduate as a General Practitioner

    Internship can be done both in Mauritius and South Africa so as to get the license of practicing as a doctor. Mauritius is 2 years internship. South Africa is 2 years internship + 1 year community work.

    Internship can be done in France also provided the candidate Passes the <concour> before enrolling for internship. The <concour> is one year additional.

    Italy
    Hi, I'm from Italy.
    The medical degree takes 6 years. First three years concern pre-clinical medicine, while the last three are about the clinical one (Theory, theory, theory!!! few hours of practice). Once graduated you have to pass the license exam (to be M.D., which is a State exam you can try few times a year). Next, you can start practice only as emergency doctor (ambulances or territorial units of emergency medicine or substitutions in E.R.).
    To become general practitioner: 3 years specialization (regional courses)
    For other specializations (Internal medicine and the other medical ones): 5 years in the university hospital (1.600 euros a month)
    For surgery: 5-6 (general surgery) years in the U.H. (1.600 euros a month)
    Next you grow a white long beard and start thinking of suicide yourself!

    Hi, from Australia.
    Depends on which university and which program - ie. post graduate or undergraduate.
    Some undergraduate courses are 5 years - like mine. Thats 2.5 years of theoratical medicine, 2.5 years of clinical medicine.
    Some undergraduate courses are 6 years - they have a research year in between
    Post graduate courses are 4 years.

    Then its 12 months of internship

    Practicing medicine in:
    Slovenia
    Hy!
    I am from Slovenia. We have 6 years study: 2 preclinical and 4 clinical years (we have almost the same amount of practical work as we have for theoretical part). After you become M.D. we have 6 months of internship with a big goverment exam at the end. And with all of this you can work only as a room doctor with supervision. If you want to work independently you have to make a specialization which in slovenia last from 4 (general practicioner) to 6 years (most of the specializations) :) Quite long, don t you think? :D
