I wanted to experience a medical system that is different and superior in many aspects to the system we have in the United States. I chose KI becuase of its reputation within Europe as an excellent academic institution. There were not too many materials available at my school regarding KI, but the KI website was more than adequate for getting all the information I needed. Paperwork was minimal.
2EE090 : Emergency Medicine
Well organized course, excellent simulation day. Very relevant lectures.
ELAXX6 : Surgery 1
More clinical than didactic. Could use more lectures. Overall, doctors friendly and eager to teach.
The Swedish study environment is very lenient toward adequate time for free study, especially on clinical rotations. Teacher/student relations are very good and patients are very accepting of medical students as well. Overall, a better learning environment than the US in clinical rotations.
