USD500 & 1 month practicals
Latest announcement : 1 month compulsory practicals in outskirt of Volgograd + we have to pay USD500 for that. I didn't hear that myself, but from friends who attended the prize giving ceremony this afternoon. At last our university is trying to do something good, to improve our practical skills. They had never been so efficient till the MMC team came to reevaluate our university. But then when we think deeper, is that the only thing they can do in order to improve our practical skills? USD500 isn't a small amount of money, and how can they be so sure that the doctors we are assigned to are willing and dedicated enough to teach.Even if the doctor is dedicated and i am willing to pay , i doubt if my command of russian language is good enough for me to survive in outskirt of Volgograd for one month, and learn from doctors who hardly speak english, and read from illegible case histories?Perhaps they should reconsider about this...

i was at the ceremony but i didn't hear anything about 500usd with my russian language understanding. i think it is still a rumour about the 500usd, but the 1 month practical is still true as tat is wat Spasov said and i HEARD it myself.
Nizhny paid 500usd for these practicals.

heard the amount that we need 2 pay for d extra practicals is still under discussion...anyway, i don't think doing practicals in russia is a good idea, and if they really have to do it, can't they juz implement it during winter hols? and..if the summer practical is anything like our 'usual past practicals' here...don't think we are going to learn much.
Besides...i don't think all these 'extra practicals' is actually necessary if they can include more of bedside teaching during our cycles(which is what it is suppose to be anyway~~!!)instead of jz studying everything theoretically.
I seriously think that this 'extra practical' gimmick is juz a 'reason' created by our university to earn more $$$.
All and all....really hope that this is jz a bad dream~~
OK...usd500 is not confirmed yet...but i think they should give us options, either do it or in Malaysia...arghh.....neway, i agree shuyu, i feel that they taking this opportunity to make fast money...sooner or later, the whole main building will be renovated,just like new one!haha....
