I’ve been seeing some news lately in Sweden about doctors who trained abroad, especially cases where people who couldn’t get into any Swedish college ended up studying in other EU countries and then coming back to practice.
Whay I’m trying to understand is where the truth actually lands here.
Maybe I’m naive, I just feel like the expectations for becoming a doctor should be equally high everywhere across Europe in 2026.
Is the difference mostly about how hard it is to get into med school, while the training itself is comparable?
Or are there real differences in how well-prepared graduates are depending on where they studied?
Would really appreciate honest perspectives, especially from people in medicine.
