IB Entry requirements for Medicine Universities in Hungary & Poland?
Hi! I'm currently studying the IB Programme and looking at universities to determine that I've made the right choices by choosing the subjects that I have. I really want to become a doctor so I've chosen subject such as Chemistry and Biology HL and Maths SL. Primarily I'd like to study in England but since the grades required to enter English universities seem quite high I've been considering perhaps studying medicine in Hungary and Poland, where I've been told that they aren't as high. The counsellor at my school gave me a site with English universities and their entry requirements and I've been trying to find the IB requirements for universities with medicine education in Hungary and Poland but I can't find any :( If anyone has any suggestions on where I can find these requirements (for IB students!), please help! Thanks very much! :) Best wishes, Sophie

In the United States, there are no "IB requirements" for college. You dont have to take certain IB classes to get into a certain college...IB gives you an IB diploma, just like a normal high school diploma only its international. You get credit for taking IB courses depending on the college and how well your IB exam scores are. Each college has its IB policy listed somewhere online (when I say that I mean getting credit for classes once admitted to the university, not IB classes that are required to be accepted into a university.) If you cant find it, call the university.

Analyze. Interpret. Decide. Explain. These were the general directions given to Dartmouth Medical School students on a recent trip to Dartmouth's Hood Museum of Art. The visit was part of a pilot program that promotes the power of observation in making diagnoses. "I had heard of programs at other medical schools that used art interaction to aid in patient interaction," said Joe O'Donnell, the senior advising dean at Dartmouth Medical School and a member of the DMS class of 1971. "I thought that we could duplicate that program here, and put our Dartmouth stamp on it." He connected with Stephen Plume, an artist and a DMS professor of surgery, and they reached out to the Hood's Director, Brian Kennedy. Soon they began working with Vivian Ladd and Lesley Wellman, both in the education department at the museum, to develop a program that would cultivate the simple, yet often nuanced, ability to notice things, whether it be in a painting or in a patient. During the month of May, they implemented two pilot workshops at the museum that sparked some thoughtful comments from participants. One student said, "I learned to be mindful when I am making assumptions, interpretations, or just observations. I also learned how different my perspective may be depending on my external knowledge or ignorance of a particular work of art." Wellman welcomed the opportunity to reach out to a community of students who might not otherwise walk across town to visit the Hood. "This is a creative program to help the participants look and think critically, and also communicate effectively," said Wellman. "Once they've carefully looked over a painting, the students have to report back to the group about what they saw. After a painting has been thoroughly described, the students discussed an interpretation, or diagnosis, of what it is about. It was a revealing exercise." "What a wonderful group," Ladd said after working with the DMS students. "There is no way they are going to go on to become cold and distant doctors." DMS and the Hood will work to refine this program and offer it again to incoming students this fall. O'Donnell hopes it will soon become a permanent offering.
