- Sinthu Kosasih is a fifth year medical student in Shanghai, China hoping to match into orthopedic surgery. We go over why he decided to go to medical school in China (coming from Thailand originally), what a day is like in a Chinese medical school, and how medical training and the medical culture differs from America.
What specialty do you want to see covered in the next day in the life video? Let me know down in the comments!

The minute he said i went to imperial college to complete my biochemistry degree i already so much respect for this guy.
Yea, straight up legend!
is it the Harvard of the UK? What is so prestigious about it?
@@talldarknindian3695 ivy league school in UK ?
Undergraduate is easy to enter ey, I got undergrad offer from UCL and IC but I didn't go, just a comparison I got rejected from UBC, Utoronto NYU and UNC. IC is at most NYU level for undergraduate level . But it is indeed great in research
TallDarkNIndian no but it’s still very good like an Ivy League school
I'm loving these videos Kevin. Great idea. It's awesome to hear from a diverse array of students and medical professionals.
You're super inspirational and I respect that so much. I'm so envious of your potential and brightness! Thank you for sharing your experience?
london universities are one of the best in the world. respect to him for going imperial college london
@Yeshua is Lord. London universities are still very competitive. Not everyone wants to attend Oxbridge
@Yeshua is Lord. Imperial is a prestigious and top ranking research facility regardless. A lot of people who don't actually want to go to Oxford or Cambridge study at ICL or UCL as the two BMAT medical unis in London
More videos like this! With different countries. Great content doc.
Hey Kevin. I'm a second year medical student in Kuwait University and I would LOVE to do this. It's so interesting to see people studying medicine in different years.
From Thailand, undergrad in London, med school in China. So well traveled~ also I was just wondering why it sounds like he has an American sounding accent?
It's likely he has some financial resources as he was able to attend college...er...university in England. More than likely, he attended a private school in Thailand where many English language instructors are American. Pronunciation was probably also reinforced through consumption of American media.
My 02. I worked at lived in Thailand and this was my observation.
Indeed!
I think it depends on the person who taught him English in school. I knew a German high schooler who was taught English by a teacher from London, thus he has a English accent, couldn’t even tell he was German by listening.
Thailand medical school and high end hospitals are staffed by Thailand MD trained in USA and England during 1970 and 1980.s They use same curriculaun as in USA.
I’m also a medical student in china. I agree about Chinese doctors having too much work and doctors in china are also not paid well. The experience we have in China as medical students, is very different compared to other parts of the world. Amazing video❤️
David Cheney you should forward your complaint to @kevin the owner of this channel for “comparing medical education in China to other developed countries”. But then it’s obvious you know everything about the medical system in China.
pretty similar to what it is in India.
@David Cheney If you want to study Medicine in China do it now before it copies Philippines restricting practice of Medicine to Filipino(or Chinese in China) only. In Philippines, foreigners can not practice Medicine even when you have Philippines Medical license before the law was passed. I was born, grew up and educated in Philippines and have Philippines Medical license but due to not being Filipino can not practice Medicine in Philippines after the law was passed several years ago(retroactive law). I came to USA as exchange student and allowed to take US licensing exam and retired in USA as physician.
@@mesoridazine what do you think about completing mbbs in china
@@mesoridazine
Medical Act of 1959 allows foreigners go practise medicine in the Philippines as long both countries has reciprocal laws and policy whether direct or indirect. I am apologising if it may sound rude since it was only in 1991, 1995, and 2008 that the Manila High Court (RTC), Appellate Court, and the Supreme Court made this decision.
Jurisprudence: Board of Medicine v. Ota (2008).
I love this content!
I’m a PreMed and was surprised too when visiting China that a medical degree isn’t as sought after as it is in the States. It’s a beautiful country and great job for those who choose to study medicine there!
Thanks for your support
Doctors in China aren't well paid.
It's the exact same training model in Vietnam; 6 years post primary education and get pay in peanuts.
Most countries, being a doctor doesn't pay nearly as much as a doctor is paid in America. Added in the high volume of cases specific to China and the possible (probable) bribery and sometimes violence there could be in being a doctor in China, it's not surprising that the degree isn't as sought after as it is in America.
Thanks for sharing this! Cool insights!!! Btw, you’re super handsome!
Hope all is well. Thank you for the very informative video Dr. Jubbal! I would really like to see more of these videos where you explain/ compare the US medical system and other countries' medical systems. I am looking into going to medical school in China or another foreign country, as it is much cheaper and learning another language is very beneficial so I would love to see more videos covering the differe4nce between the two systems. Thank you once again, would love to see more of these kinds of videos!
Thanks for taking us with u!!!!!
ooo this is so cool. i really wanna do a clerkship rotation in China. I've tried clinical clerkship in Korea and I love it so much too.
The rewards will be tremendous!
I was in shanghai learning Chinese and stayed in tong ji now in studying medicine in Colombia .
I also had a premedicine in Biochemistry, It's a 4 years bachelors program in Nigeria. I'm currently in my second year Medicine in Philippines. MD program is 4 years here. So a total of 8 years. Great connecting with you here. You got a new subscriber😁
Hi! I’m a med student studying in the Philippines. It’s pretty interesting to hear your reasons as to why you chose to study in China and how it’s like to study medicine there! Keep it up!
You must be Filipino or got Philippines citizenship. Got my MD in Philippines and retired MD in USA since I was deneid re-entry after 2 years in USA because of my Chinese visa. Unlikely to happen now since China is respected by Philippines due to its economic status unlike during Mao's era.
Very lovely and beautiful presentation, hi how are you doing!
A very objective and a typical day of a doctor student in China. Coincidentally, I graduate from the same MBBS program, and career from residency to attending. It's true to see 70 patients in the morning, but we accomplish it cooperatively by a 2-3 doctors group. Now I move to the USA, try to achieve the M.D. and ph.D. If lucky enough I would restart residency here, and I will be able to thoroughly compare totally different medical systems between CHN and the USA.
how is your md/phd going?
would be interested in hearing about how matching into us residency went for you
Great video!!
great content!
You're going to be a great dr.
Wow you are so talented!! My brain wouldn't be able to cope with studying medicine
More day in the life vids please!
The interior of Chinese hospital looks so advanced. Also Jesus Christ that speed of seeing patients. We got like 18 patient on round and that takes 2hrs to round
I am a medical student currently studying in Wuhan, China. I am just about to complete my third year . Being stuck with online classes during the pandemic has really made me question my choices. My clinical years are yet to start but I was feeling very anxious ,not sure if I will get the appropriate exposure needed to be a good doctor (in my books). This video was kind of relaxing in a weird way haha.
Where do you want to practice after graduation?
How are the things now?
Are you guys stll stuck with online classes?
I am planning to come china next year for med.I dont know i should or not
@@sanzidaakther6029 I’m also studying med in china, traditional med. for now, my county still doesn’t allow us to go to china yet, even harder, my school also have not given us notice of coming bck for physical class. So it’s fully online. But i heard pakistan already allow students to go to china for studies. So it really depends on the uni and the country you stay itself.
Omg 60 to 70 patients :O....I see a total of 24 patients on my busiest day, I can't imagine how tired you must be :/
If I made a day in the life of a medical student in the university of Jordan, would you upload it?
พี่เป็นคนไทย ดีใจมากกกก หนูชอบดูคลิปแบบนี้ ไม่คิดเลยว่าพี่จะเป็นคนไทย ขอบคุณมากๆเลยนะคะ
It's crazy how I was at a cookout with this kid when I was in Shanghai last summer. It's a small world we live in
Small world indeed!
Yay!!! Now one from India please!
NZ please! There are only 2 medical schools in New Zealand!
aww i miss china so much
He's English it's amazing! I wish I could talk like that!
What was the process of admission in any medical college in china
This was a nice video to watch. I too went to China to study medicine (Suzhou) and have been to Shanghai many times. Now I'm doing my residency in the states.
My reasons for going to China were very similar to his. Truly is a beautiful country and experience to study there
The tests are in Chinese right?
srgito English
Hassan Raza oh cool, what specialty are you doing?
Justin Fournette internal medicine
Trang Tran it isn't a transfer. After graduating from med school, I applied for residency in the US and matched into internal medicine
omg!!!!! I'm studying in Shanghai 10th hospital of Tongji University right now!!!!! why didn't I meet u guys (sad face)
Small world, I would almost say xD
@Attaullah Rehmani Bro, that's racist....
Attaullah Rehmani In Chinese people's eyes everyone looks different. You can't recognize Asians mainly because you don't see them as much and you are not familiar with their faces.
@ata ali Now that's blatant racism...
It does not matter where you get your medical education as long as you know the standard of practice of Medicine. I studied Medicine in Philippines and ended up retiring as Physician in USA because of my Taiwan visa. I was denied re-entry back to Philippines after 2 years of training in USA due to Taiwan visa since birth but never been to Taiwan. That was when China was poor under Mao. It is unlikely to happen now since Philippines respect China due to its economic status. Philippines bullied Chinese and China when China was poor under Mao.
Will you go back to Thailand after graduation or stay in China ？
really nice editing!
China is far away, but in essential it is not that much different!
How many hours a day is taught ?
And isnthere regular classes whole week?
What an awesome perspective!
Oh wassup fellow CZcamsr 😊
histology starts in which year? what semester?
What is criteria to practice doctorate in china
Are you Thai Chinese ? It's not easy to start the course if you don't have basic Chinese. Fyi sometime it's hard to distinguish Chinese decent in ASEAN countries.

是了 但实在懒得做视频 看这个都要快进...
100 patients a day means 6 minutes per patient. Thats not medicine, thats serving hotdogs.
It is the medicine that you are not familiar with.
Okay and we can serve every patients for 30 mins and see how slow and inefficient health care system to spend 18% GDP of biggest economy and still millons of people can't get their treatment.
And I thought 30+ patients a day was bad..
ary scharovsky better than people dying at the waiting area like Canada
@@dding01 sure, go compare the health statistics in canada vs china. Then you can bring up anecdotal evidence.
Does chinese medical school offer English taught medicine program???
Are the chinese doctors Or professors well eloquent to communicate with their international students while taking lectures classes or in dissection hall..
They do😊
So are like med schools in other countries cheaper than U.S med schools? His English is very good👍
Iam doing undergraduate ( biochemistry)😸
Omg 100 patients per day?? Thats insane! I thought seeing 20 was alot😥
Considering how many people there are in China...... Don't worry about those doctors they are all well-trained and extremely experienced.
@@lindapang4314 and poorly paid 😭
What are your plans after mbbs from China??
Thanks for this! Would love to see one in Korea!
Hello pretty
Very lovely and beautiful presentation, hi how are you doing!
While I think the "cost" argument for not attending a U.S. medical school is reasonably valid, I think there are other factors that probably contributed to that decision making process that aren't being discussed, such as: 1) Most U.S. medical schools don't accept non-U.S./Canadian applicants, requiring applicants to be citizens of the U.S. or Canada or be a U.S. green card holder. 2) Most U.S. medical schools will only accept academic prerequisites completed at an accredited college or university in the U.S. or Canada. 3) For the few international students accepted to U.S. medical schools (I would assume portion into MD/PhD programs), it may be very difficult for them to gain entrance into a non-FM residency as there are fewer residencies available than U.S medical graduates (yes, I think this is stupid too) and U.S. students receive preference in that selection process.
That is not to say that there aren't non-U.S/Canadian/green card holders at U.S. medical schools, I'm just saying the process is very difficult and should be a factor of consideration for anyone applying...which was probably the case here.
Again, the cost argument is a valid one...and I am genuinely interested as to where he plans to practice. He mentioned having "Chinese in your back pocket" but he appears to be Thai of Chinese descent...did he already speak Mandarin? Is he learning it in China while a medical student?
Again, final practice location is important because while some U.S. medical schools are expensive (there are also quite a few that are cheap by state or resources i.e. Mayo Clinic) but U.S. doctors are also the best paid in the world outside of the Netherlands and Australia. If I had to take a guess, I would assume he eventually ends up practicing in Australia where there is a significant Chinese demographic. Or maybe at an international hospital in Thailand where salaries of foreign trained doctors are higher than that of locally trained doctors.
Pretty much on the money with your analysis (pun intended 😉). With a likely strong economic background, I think it's more about the reasons you stated than cost.
@@maliecollins4872 hello miss
I'd say his two most compelling reasons are Cost and patient exposure. That shear number of patient cases can really enlarge one's experience on diagnosis.
What is the culture in China revolving around mental health work? I am studying to be a licensed therapist in the US so I’m curious😇
Lina Leeann well,Although there's a great short of psychiatrists,the government doesn't want to pay the bills for peoples 'health.There are millions of people suffer from the mental health problems.

Hi
People study Medicine wherever thay can get admitted to. American students go to Guadajara, Mexico in the past if they can not get into US school. Almost all come back to US to practice Medicine. To practice Medicine you need to pass the licensing exam, Philippines limit the practice of Medicine to Filipinos. You can not practice Medicine in Philippines if you are not Filipino citizen even if you were born there and have Philippines license prior to passage of the law. America allows Filipino to practice Medicine in USA without being US citizen. I was able to practice Medcine in US even before getting permanent resident status.
I think you should reply for same realigion
100 bucks says he will be practicing in America within 5 years!
attending med school in china means you will have nearly zero chance coming back to US for residency unless you have 250+ step scores.
You should apply to med schools in USA if your goal is to practice Medicine in USA.
the medicine degree in India is called "MBBS" too xD
We also call it MBBS in Nigeria
MBBS in all those countries which was UK colonies.
👍👍
I dont think medical school in china can beat medical school in us or western countries. It isnt even up to date medicine most of the time
That may be so in high end/complex medical issues. But the shear number of people means young doctors can get case exposure quite quicly and that translates to more experience and accuracy in diagnosis.
okay, before you guys get super excited about studying medicine in China, hear something from me as an international student from China and right now studying medicine in the US. First, it's just hard to study medicine in another language, and Chinese is a pretty hard language to learn, that will already take you years after years before you can barely order a dish, and it is not used as commonly as the guy said in this video, Chinese is the most spoken language, yes, but, it is ONLY most spoken in China, Taiwan, some part of East Asia, and after that it's not even close to how useful Spanish is. Second, medicine in China is weird, doctors often have to order no evidence-based "Chinese traditional drugs" because that's profitable but do no good to the patients, and it's common to receive bribery called red pocket (收红包) and all the weird ranking systems with the communist party, not even talking about much medical knowledge and techniques are still like 20 years behind America, so if you study medicine in China, YOU WILL HAVE A HELL TIME MATCHING INTO AMERICAN RESIDENCY. Also, doctors in China are not well respected, and attacking or literally murdering doctors happens every year, all I want to say is, I would rather someone try Caribbean schools than go to China to study medicine there.
You are lucky we are pakistan born and after change our nationality from Pakistani to chinese now no 45 medical university accept us as international student and if we Join chinese’s university there no english
👍🏼
Woah that’s a very bad reason to do medicine. It’s essentially the second choice for students..... that’s not good for the quality of care. In my opinion of course
He said that medicine is a second choice for many of the Chinese students that did not get into economics or business
That's why asians are on the top
Namo buddhay bro love to my Buddhism I am Indian Buddhist
nice suit koh
Do they teach medicine in China generally in Chinese or in english since I know many international student who study there?
They teach in both languages. But English medium is only on selected universities in China.
Nice seeing a day in the life of a future orthopedic surgeon/model 💪
Adnan A bro, I see you everywhere lol
wtffffffffffffffffffff here in Brazil economics degrees is the lowest requirements in the country and medical school is one of the higher requirements ..... and our health system is the same problem from China... 60 to 100 patients per day.... in a good day...
