How is the medical curriculum structured and is it similar to India?

Accepted Answer

The curriculum follows the European credit system and is quite similar to the Indian MBBS pattern since both are based on a strong foundation of anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry in the initial years, followed by clinical subjects. The first two years focus heavily on pre-clinical subjects with lots of theory and lab work. Years 3-5 shift to clinical subjects like medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and OB-GYN with hospital rotations and patient interaction.
