What Is a Medicine Degree?

Saving someone’s life is perhaps one of the most remarkable feelings in the world. Even so, not so many of us have the chance to experience this. It takes passion, a strong personality and years of study to be able to work in the medical field.

Pursuing a Medical degree is not only challenging and demanding but also competitive. Medical degrees are shaped for people who show high motivation and commitment as well as interest for sciences. 

Throughout a Medicine degree, candidates are equipped with a wide range of competences, from practical abilities required for specialized hands-on tasks to communication skills needed to interact with the patients. Thus, any medical students will be able to take a simple blood sample as well as perform a complex surgical procedure.

Benefits of a Medical Degree

Undoubtedly, medicine is one of the most vital fields of work – therefore there will always be a high demand of workforce needed. The employment rate for a medical graduate student is of 90%.

Due to its diverse branches, graduates from a Medical course have a variety of career choices, according to their expertise. Nursing, radiology, anaesthetics are just some of the many specialities offered in this field. Regardless of the speciality, the most important aspect needed to be taken into consideration is that medical professionals are well-respected and well-paid all over the world. 

Additionally, graduates possess a series of transferable skills, such as logical reasoning, critical appraisal, listening, written and oral communication and many others. These assets are sought and highly valuable in most fields of work.

Medical Degree Structure

Medical courses are usually a six-year commitment, but it can vary according to the university. Most of the modern universities integrate clinical education with basic sciences from the beginning of the academic curriculum, while traditional institutions divide them into preclinical and clinical education. 

Most schools understand the importance of practical knowledge, especially in this field, therefore they encourage the students to observe professional healthcare practitioners. Another way to gain practical experience is to go to different clinics and receive specialised training, followed by actual practical work. 

No matter the practices of the university, always keep in mind that medical courses are structured differently in every country. Therefore, medical qualifications gained in one country are not necessarily recognised in another country.

    Overcoming the shadow

    The UCV. My UCV. Go, it’s a good university! The least I can express about it is my infinite gratitude. The UCV forges you as a being and ethical and moral professional, well prepared, updated and also as a good citizen. Its headquarters, the campus of the University City of Caracas was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000, is an open-air museum of outstanding works of art of the 20th century. The University Hospital of Caracas was the 1st in America Latina for many years. My person, medical student of the Luis Razetti School, of which medical graduates have been graduated, reason for pride and recognition, based on my personal experience I can record the excellent teachers who day after day demand us the maximum and impart your knowledge in order that we provide a quality health service and continue researching to generate knowledge to society. The last two decades the university has been persecuted, destroyed and unhappy by a dictatorship of the vilest that the modern world has known and the students, professors and administrative and labor personnel have had to resist it to maintain the functioning of the institution . Is it easy? Not at all, and in addition to the political, economic and social crisis that is currently happening in Venezuela, the pursuit of academic activities is not simple, and even more so the activities of research and extension. However, the will of the guilds that work there and their students, make the university a flash to the latter at the end of the darkest night, the living flame of hope that will raise the country, to Venezuela, after this period gloomy of obscurantism that plagues the ideals and freedoms of thought. I know that perhaps for some this is not a correct opinion of the university. But the UCV is due to the country, and being a good UCVista and Venezuelan means reporting what hurt our Alma Mater. It is our mission. We must continue to overcome the shadow!
