The programme and the setting

Clinical learning and academic experience
Ask for the current curriculum and clinical sites, including the progression from simulation to supervised patient contact in St Petersburg.
Teaching language and your qualification
Check the language of lectures, examinations, clinical teaching and internship for the exact route you choose. Russian for patient communication is a separate part of preparation, even where academic teaching is in English. Read the curriculum and language statement together.
If you intend to practise in India, review the current professional requirements early. Our guide to practising in India explains the questions to investigate alongside official NMC and NBEMS information.
