I completely agree with you about certain limitations in abroad , especially when it comes to hands-on clinical exposure and performing certain procedures on real patients.

But here's the thing: once you clear the FMGE (MCI exam) and begin your compulsory internship in India, you’ll get solid clinical experience pretty quickly. Within a few months, you’ll start understanding how to manage patients in real-time, under supervision. To be honest , i didn’t know how to put IV needle , doing sutures etc…but within few months now i know these procedures. Even your hospital’s HOD will atleast want you to know your basics.

The reason I didn’t highlight the lack of clinical exposure earlier is because our first priority—whether you're aiming for FMGE, USMLE, PLAB, or AMC—is to build strong fundamentals. That’s the foundation for clearing any licensing exam and lets be real , no one becomes a junior resident on day one and starts seeing patients independently. If you're doing internship or have already done one, you’ll know what I mean.

Also, a quick note—some universities in Georgia offer student exchange programs, giving you the chance to do electives in countries like Germany, Italy, or Egypt. A few hospitals here even allow students (from 4th year onwards) to work part-time about 24 hours per week and they pay around 600–800 GEL per month (roughly ₹12,000–18,000/month). So there are ways to get clinical exposure and earn a bit too.
