If you are one of those who have always been clear about becoming a doctor and study medicineyou should know that it is a career that requires a lot of effort, but above all dedication, since this is one of the careers that are of long duration. In most universities, the study plans for this career last 5 years, in addition to one year of internship or undergraduate and one more year of social service (7 years).
At the end of the race, graduates receive a title of General Physician. But if they wish to continue with specialty studies, they must take the National Medical Residency Exam and, if admitted, they will have to study from 2 to 6 more years depending on the specialty they have chosen.
According to the IMCO (Mexican Institute for Competitiveness), The Medicine career is one of the most demanded In our country. Undoubtedly, one of the reasons is that it is a career with a lower unemployment ratebesides that it is well paidamong others.
Today, access to the university has increased thanks to the fact that it is possible to access different degrees in online, blended, distance or mixed modalities. But what differences, advantages and disadvantages are there between studying the degree of medicine online or face-to-face?
Virtual Vs. Presencial
It is important to take into consideration that the medical career is a career that has a very marked practicality. This means that you have a large number of practical hours vital to the preparation of a good doctor.
Despite this, there are some universities that offer a degree in General Medicine with 5 years of degree, 1 year of internship and 1 year of social service (a total of 7 years). They include practical face-to-face scenarios and remote high technology with digital dissection tables such as the Autonomous University of Durango (UAD).
There are some studies about online education, such as the one published by the American Educational Research Association. It highlights that there are some applications of online education that are better than online instruction and others that are not good at all. Meanwhile, the United States Department of Education found in a study that online students have modestly better results than those who receive studies in person.
Given this, we could highlight that despite the fact that studies in Medicine require a lot of practice (which can only be done in person), it can be effective at a distance, since they are mixed studies with the purpose of studying theoretical subjects online and others. in a presence way
costs
It is possible to study medicine in person in public institutions, where there is practically no cost, except for the materials, which are expensive, so you end up paying an approximate of almost 60,000 pesos in total according to the IMCO; while in a private university the cost rises much higher, with monthly tuition fees ranging from 11,000 pesos and up.
In the case of studying online, it is less than face-to-face, in addition to simplifying expenses, since you will not have to travel, although you must consider apart from the tuition, you must acquire study materials, among others.
The things of the recognitions and exams are really even, since an online course does not cost much less than a face-to-face one and is valued the same professionally.
Schedules
In a face-to-face university, the schedule can be morning, evening or night, with daily classes of different subjects in one day; And in the case of online classes, the schedule is usually decided by you, since it will depend on your time possibilities, thanks to the fact that the contents are hosted on a platform and you can connect at any time, although there are institutions that teach the classes. live online classes at specific times but with very flexible hours (such as night time).
Content
It is well known that every university degree must have an official validation recognition number (RVOE), therefore, the contents are practically the same, with the difference that in person the professors are in charge of explaining them in real time. , and in the case of online degrees, the content is multimedia, and in the same way you will have to complete more tasks and exercises in which you must work harder, which is why online studies require more discipline and tenacity, since there is no one to supervise you.
Learning
Regarding learning, it is important to highlight that the medical career requires a lot of practice, and there is no way to carry out the studies in person to achieve understanding and practice at the same time, in addition to clearing all the time the doubts that may arise in every topic seen in class.
On the other hand, the fact of doing the studies at a distance does not mean that there will not be a lot of effort on your part to learn everything that a subject has, you even have the possibility of seeing a subject (both content and reading the material) several times, as it is available to you at all times.
So all in all, practice situation aside, either way of studying can be quite beneficial as this depends a lot on your discipline and commitment.
Socialization
When you attend a classroom, you will have the opportunity to live with classmates and get to know them on a day-to-day basis, in the same way with the different professors, unlike online degrees where you will hardly see them in person.
