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!

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?
