Oh damn, here you can't really do residency if you're not really advanced in your career or at least have your degree, you need a legal certificate that allows for you to treat patients, or else there's gonna be some REALLY BIG issues with the hospital. Private colleges are more intensive and have more days dedicated to classes, but here, at least in la Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) you sometimes had to go like... 3-4 times per month for a single assignment, and like an hour or two/three. And there's "optional" assignments you can assign yourself to, to add more experience in your career. They're "optional" but you gotta do a minimum number of them by the end of your career. So it's like 4-5 assignments in a year, and you study at your own pace. The issue is passing the goddamn tests. Niggas get raped in exams here. If you fail ONE single exam you have to retake the entire assignment next year.

In some places, like my country, yes. It's designed like that. But in other countries med students have to actually be in the hospital and treat patients together with doctors, like the US I've heard.

LET'S FUCKING GO LOCO, here in some colleges the minimum to pass is 4/10. Getting anything over a 4 is a glorious victory, fucking enjoy it man. The most important thing is to just understand what you're studying and relearning it so that you don't forget it in the future.
Also don't fucking abuse caffeine and tobacco like every med student does, try to end up alive by the end of your career.
