Today\u2019s Medical Education Monday will be highlighting Spain’s medical education system and our guest blogger is <\/span>Ines<\/a><\/span>, a 19-year-old medical student from Madrid! I\u2019d tell you how awesome her <\/span>personal blog<\/a><\/span> is, but I can\u2019t read a single word that she’s written. Unlike the <\/span>incredibly talented<\/i><\/span> multilingual med students & doctors helping me with this series, I am completely lost if we aren\u2019t all speaking <\/span>Texan English<\/i><\/span>, y’all. However, judging by her fabulously-written explanation of the medical education system in Spain I would be willing to bet that Ines\u2019 blog is a winner – so if you can read Spanish head on over there and tell her <\/span>hello<\/s><\/span> hola (well, look at that – I <\/span>can<\/i><\/span> speak Spanish). Ines is currently loving cardiology, while leaving her options open to other things in the future. Keep reading for a superb explanation of Spain\u2019s system of training physicians.<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting In:<\/b><\/span>
How old is one when they begin medical school? <\/b><\/span>
Normally, people begin when they\u2019re about 18 years old, once they have finished college (equivalent to high school in the US). <\/span>
What exams does one have to take to get in? Is there any required pre-requisite coursework?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
