The scenario of medical education abroad is changing rapidly. Now Indian students are turning to new and safe options instead of traditional countries such as Russia, Ukraine and Philippines. The biggest name has come out in this change – Kyrgyzstan. A small Central Asian country, Kyrgyzstan has now become a accessible, safe and quality center of medical studies for Indian students.
The biggest reason for the change is the modern medical colleges established by Indian investors. These institutions have not only erected a model of quality medical education, but have also strengthened educational relations between India and Kyrgyzstan.
In the last few years, the International Higher School of Medicine (IHSM), located in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan in the direction of medical education abroad, has emerged as a reliable and popular option for Indian students. The course has been prepared as per the rules of the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India. The college is recognized by prestigious international institutions like WHO, FAIMER and ECFMG, which gives students studying here an opportunity to participate in foreign exams like USMLE and PAB. Apart from this, a program recognized by Bapio (UK) is also conducted in the institute for the preparation of MRCP (a special medical examination of Britain). The admission process is straight and transparent, no agent or middleman is required.
Manish Malik, an Indian guardian of a son who started medical studies in Kyrgyzstan, said, “I have sent my son to study in Kyrgyzstan and the experience has been very positive so far.”
