Pros's:
1. Allows you to finish the medical program faster. (Lenght of the career: 4 years and one quarter if you choose to not do the intership which is one year long and this is the only way to become a costarican doctor, however Americans are not required to fulfill this requirements as we can apply to do the intership back home and start getting paid for it too!!!)
2. You get two 2 week vacation and one month vacation in December. For international students this works amazingly to get to go home and relax for a full month! Many students use the short vacations to go explore the country. (let's keep in mind this is Costa Rica= Natural Paradise)
The University is located in the capital city, San Jose, third city to have electricity in the world! So is not near the water only lots of green areas.
Con's:
1. Time is your enemy. Is very fast paced, doable but your game must be always on point. I can say here the old saying really applies" There's two rules in Medical School: Don't fall in love, don't fall behind"
2.This is an intensive program. There is not a lot of time to party and socialize but because we spend so much time together it becomes easy to make friends within your class room and join a study/hangout group. Costaricans are super friendly which is a huge plus!
There are several Medical Universities in Costa Rica, most of them accredited in the US. UCIMED is the name of another private university but this one goes by semesters. So as you can see there's plenty of options and soon I will posting information on all of them. Subscribe to my blog for more! That's it for this post!
