New International Medical School Options

Here's a short NYT article on three new Italian medical school programs that are being taught in English in part to attract foreigners. The advantages are lesser cost, nice geography and, apparently, lower admission requirements, although for at least one institution, the entrance exam includes questions on Italian current affairs.

As the supply of doctors continues to be a problem, while admission to US schools is increasingly difficult, more international schools will likely pop up.
