    Hi I am from Romania and here until now the system is like this:
    3 years preclinical
    3 years clinical then you are GP
    than from 3 to 7 years of residency depending on the speciality

    But now they want to change this and introduce 2 years of internship and make the residency years less, hopefully they won't.

    Egypt

    in Egypt it's 3 years basics ( anatomy ; physiology ; biochemistry ; histology - pahtology ; pharmacology ; parasitology ; microbology )
    then it's 3.5 years clinical medicine ( community medicine ; forensic medicine ; toxicology ; ophthalmology ; E.N.T ; peditrics ; and internal medicine which contain : GIT and hepatology - endocrinology and metabolic disordiers - heamatology - fever and infection - nephrology - rheumatology - cardiology - neurology - dermatology - pulmonolgy - tropical diseases - clinical pathology - immunology - clinical radiology - psychology ) and surgery with full branches ; Obstetrics and Gynaecology .
    then 12 month internship then you are GP

    then 3 years G.P in hospital or military .

    then 3 years master

    then you can have private work about 30 years .

    and you can walk through .. huuuuuuuh
