I dont belong to the Big groups either. You perfectly know it then. I had to suck up for those ques. And without those ques, its virtually impossible to pass the exams. And this even applies to the Board exams that they have at the end of 6th yr.



Clinical practice is just walking around. And basically students are not involved at all. You see a patient and then go into a room where the teacher talks abt it. There are even 'clinical' practice where you never see any patients (orthopedics). Another example is Surgery. Everybody will tell that its the most ridiculous dept.



These even applies to the 6th yr when its supposed to be only clinicals. Basically you just go in around 9 and leave around 10. And this is when you are motivated to go. Its like its a pain-in-the-*** for them when you show up for the practice!



I did most of 6th yr abroad. Thats when I learnt everything clinical. Students from other universities do know much more in terms of clinical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge is abt the same but no way to put it in practice.



Now some might wonder why I'm telling these things. Because I do feel bad for the new ones joining the uni. I missed my opportunity to transfer to another country when I had the chance.

I just wanna let the new ones, who are planning to come to Hungary, know that if you still have a chance or have a choice of universities, do make the correct choice. In hungary, everything is abt money!



p.s Virtually none of the teachers/prof will know ur name as they dont even bother to ask who is who.
