Why did you choose to go to med school in Bulgaria?
Why didn't you stay in Bulgaria to work?
Talking with your colleagues, is there much of a difference between UK and Bulgarian Med School?

I live in the UK and my family’s based here too so I only went there to study - the course is entirely taught in English but you do need to learn at least a little bit of the language. They teach you that during med school, but yeah even with this my Bulgarian wasn't a 100% and I’d much rather practice medicine in English too lol
There are differences yes, but not so much. In general the principle is the same, just slightly different methods or different rules & policies which vary from hospital to hospital. Its all a learning process but so far so good 😅

Do you see a difference between yourself and UK graduates?
Was it hard to get a job?
Did you do F1 or did you go straight to F2 and why?
Thank you so much!!

What is the process after your 6th year, thank you so much

Hi!! I'm just finishing my first year at Plovdiv and I am also from the UK.
Do you see a difference between yourself and UK graduates?
Was it hard to get a job?
Did you do F1 or did you go straight to F2 and why?
Thank you so much!!

-There wasn’t really much of a difference tbh apart from their practical skills which was definitely a lot better and they were more confident with doing certain things, but you also get a chance to learn on the job like I did. My advice would also be to try and get as much practical experience as possible, it really helps!
-Nah, wasnt hard especially cos of covid jobs were readily available. I applied as a locum for a few months to gain some experience and then started as a trust grade doctor (fy1 level). Basically I was employed by the nhs trust directly. And again I chose fy1 purely because I wanted to take my time to soak in as much experience as possible

Hahaha sorry 😅 but I’m sure you’ll understand when you become a doctor! Keep asking your questions, I’ll check and reply whenever I get a chance

I just came on this thread because I remember a friend told me that he could still study medicine after he didn't do so well in his A-level. He mentioned Plovdiv. Thus, my curiosity made me click on this thread when it came up on my feed, because what he told me sounded dodgy.
Keep up the good work saving lives and whatnot.

Hi, I just wanted to ask how old are first year students currently studying at Plovdiv? I am currently finished 2nd year of an Science degree here in the UK and I still want to pursue Medicine as that was what I hoping to do after my A-Levels in 2019. I just turned 20 two months back and I feel I might be a bit old to study abroad since I would be 2 years behind all my peers? Also would you recommend me to pursue graduate medicine or go abroad now since I would finish my degree in the same year both ways?
